I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.



I get strep throat about once a year around Fall/Winter like clockwork and it seems my time has come again.

I love that my cheapest option to get antibiotics is to pay $40 for an online doctor's note, which doesn't cover the antibiotics (though they're cheap - like $5). I know some people who wouldn't even have the $40 to spare. Great system, even at the low end.

Pharmacy closed at 7:00 so I have to wait until tomorrow to get it. I hope I can get better before Monday because I've got fucking work.

The "best" part? When you look things up, they admit that the antibiotics will knock off a whopping twelve hours from your plight. And while an improvement is an improvement, the return on investment there seems too miserable to stay a normal part of the healthcare system...

idk I generally feel like hours after taking antibiotics I can feel an improvement. Maybe that's placebo but if it is, then yeah I'll pay for that placebo. Feeling better is feeling better.
