When you say a locally owned pharmacy, can you elaborate?

The ones I'm familiar with are just at big stores here.

  • Yes, U.S.
  • I would pick up the dilute serum from the allergist and transport it myself. It's specifically created for just me (The exact serum), so it's not something attainable from the pharmacy.

Thank you so much for the knowledge! I'm going to take this and see what I can do. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Yeah, I thought it sounded unhinged. But I'm desperate, and don't want to put myself at risk of a preventable death.

I've spent the greater part of my life as a shut in largely because I'm a sniffling, coughing, sneezing mess all day and night every day for 6-8 months of the year. And simply a sniffly mess for the rest.

I had one good summer last year and I can't believe what I'm missing. Being able to do activities like hiking, or biking, going to the grocery store without being treated like I have the plague. Actually being able to go out to a restaurant or public places. Making friends, and actually being able to join them. Going to the movies...etc Not having to carry a whole-ass box a Kleenex with me everywhere I go.

It made me into a desperate man, realizing how much life I'm missing.

The comments here are fantastic, and incredibly helpful.

My allergist mentioned these, and noted that this is likely to be ineffective for me. Insurance also didn't want to pay for it, though they shoveled out $4k for the serum for shots.

If I can't get shots here though, I'll try anything.

Naw, they'll find some way to "incentivize" (punish you for not) viewing ads and enforce it with eye tracking.

Coming soon to an airline near you.

I love the nuance in this comics and how it seeks to understand why it is the way it is before passing judgement.

Or, ya know, kneejerk it.

Morning. One of my devices has been running unactivated W10 for something like 4+ years now.

It's very likely that as a sole developer you are actually practicing agile as it's intended and not corporate "agile".

There isn't a problem with agile there's a problem with it being mislabeled and misused as a corporate & marketing tool for things that have nothing to do with agile.

fails to see reality

Reality is shown to them

Doubles down on their ignorance of reality

This thread is a textbook example of:

Don't argue with morons. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Instead of actually arguing the topic at hand you are trying to drag all repliers down to your level, act in bad faith, and beat them with personal attacks ๐Ÿคฃ

Classic.
