None of those meds do anything to prevent or end a cold, just treat symptoms. So you may be fooling yourself, or you may be treating your symptoms well enough that it feels like you avoided the cold altogether.

If they got that big of a discount, it may have been a manufacturer’s savings card.

It’s not the pharmacies that set the prices. At least, not really. The pharmacy pays near the listed “cash-price” for the drug from the wholesaler, who buys from the manufacturer, so the pharmacy can’t really afford to charge much less than they do for many drugs.

And the price the patient sees after insurance is decided based on the insurance or pharmacy benefit manager who deals with prescription benefits for the insurance.

Pharmacies are also contractually prevented from charging less to a cash-paying patient than what they charge to the insurance companies, so you start getting weirdness with coupon cards to work around that.

Germany had 17 active nuclear plants in 2011 and decommissioned them all by 2023.

I guess Ol’ Windbag Winnie was a smoker then, with such accelerated aging.

Technically a something being a conspiracy doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Even if colloquially people often call ideas conspiracies in a derogatory manner to dismiss their validity, a plot by the government or whatever to replace or invent birds as a form of surveillance would be a conspiracy by definition: “A plan by a group of people to do something unlawful or harmful”.

I’ve been having a weird problem recently where when I sort by Top in a comments section, often times a few top-level comments don’t show up, and the replies to that comment are shown as top-level instead. It seems to happen more with comments that have a negative score.

It’s fixed when I sort by Old. I’m not sure if it’s some weird setting I have or a bug. I’d be appreciative for any help!
