CapnAndy posted:Medication ads warning of side effects worse than the condition they're treating are my favorite thing. I like the ones with crazy out of left field side-effects that you'd never even consider as a possibility. On one hand, migraine treatment might kill you has a weird logic because if it is playing with blood pressure, then...ok I can follow that. Cipro giving you a slight chance of rupturing your Achilles Tendon? Huh?

If you go to US Postal Museum in DC, there's a small exhibit about good old Bob. In the mail fraud section.

Ape Has Killed Ape posted:My vague recollection is that this is because anything that happens to the test group while they're on the drug has to be listed as a possible side effect unless they're in a car accident or something, but that's probably wrong. I do believe that is true. That said, there's a category of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Cipro is the most common and widely used one. For unclear, but rare, reasons, they have a negative effect on the cell type that make up tendons. It seems to also affect the Achilles more than other tendons. They've been investigating it for almost 40 years and still haven't cracked the case.

Travolta as Disco Santa is a fun gag, but a perplexing commercial

I like the Pepsi commercial that only uses about 15 percent Get Low's lyrics

stealie72 posted:Edit: actually, that's not true. The more recent one when they're at the dumpster and the one sap has crown molding scraps because "you never know when you'll need them" and the therapist guy says "I do, and it's never." Dead on. Otherwise, yeah, they're getting more obscure and lame. Everyone knows that damage only occurs after you've disposed of the material you need to repair said damage. He's just spreading lies.

Boogaloo Shrimp posted:I have multiple pieces of 2x6 scrap less than a foot long left over from some deck repair just sitting in the garage taking up space. My wife insists that we keep them. I have been slowly disposing of them by putting one out with the trash every other week. So far she hasn’t noticed. Because it’s scrap. That we won’t need. Or use. Ever. You have doomed yourself to need a bunch of 2x6 scraps

stealie72 posted:Think there's an LLM program that just spits out random drug names? In the US, the generic names are the work of exactly two people. There's a lot of things they work into them, like the chemical structure, the purpose of the drug, and avoidance of letters that don't exist outside of English. Like there's no J in Italian, so no Js. The brand name can't say what it does, can't say what it treats, can't refer to the generic, and has to sound distinct. That lends itself to gibberish sounding names. Although sometimes they'll let one past that does say those things. The varicella vaccine is Varivax.
