i can’t sell it to them for that reason and they don’t get what I am trying to say and they sit there and look at me weird and so I say I’m sorry and just leave the room because they don’t get any kind of social queues like “this conversation is over” or the time old tale “I can’t sell you boner pills”

Pharmacists can prescribe drugs in NZ?

yeah there’s a small handful of prescription medicines we get allowed to prescribe, after doing accreditations and in certain circumstances

doctors can kind of make whatever decisions they want regarding say supplying viagra but we have to make sure the patient meets a strict set of criteria (non smoker, non diabetes, between 35-70, blood pressure in range) and yeah then we can supply it

in these situations people have to always pay. but they’re still relatively cheap


out country has taken a very drug centric approach to health. we might have, from a consumer point of view, the cheapest drugs in the entire world. our entire country purchases drugs on the international scene as a single entity and uses it to get huge discounts and deals


most other socialist health nations try to make doctors cheap but the drugs stay spenny, but here the doctors aren’t so cheap, $50 a pop for a GP and if you’ve got a decent problem it won’t be a oncer, and at the moment prescription medicines don’t cost the customer anything at all (if it’s funded)

ive never seen anything else than this. right after i was hired one of the c levels came for an all hands meeting and said “stop trying to innovate, it’s not what we do. we are fat followers”

and it’s extremely hard for us to get any products through the pipeline without an “external benchmark” ie something already in the market to copy. there is still plenty of design effort, we aren’t just straight up copying in most cases, it’s like we have our team tear down other products and try to figure out how to make it cheaper or better in some way

basically nothing makes it into a product unless there’s an off the shelf module that supports the feature. like, there’s a reason every downer company launched sonos knockoffs in 2013 specifically and it’s because broadcom has released a new soc that supported wifi good enough to do audio streaming in a speaker for under $20 bom cost. that kind of thing

i have a tub of stuff that smells vaguely like sheeps that works wonders.

lanolin crew checking in

I am a big fan of E45 cream, idk if it’s in the US but is in the UK at least

lanolin products leave the skin feeling silky, almost like there’s a tiny bit of talcum powder on the skin

the best way is to use and rub in and then towel off the excess. I used to do this 50/50 soft/liquid paraffin and that defo works as a good treatment but lanolin stuff is better imo

if you're a christian, and happy in your christian life...

NOTHING good can come out of challenging your faith

yes you might find the truth, but will you be happier or more content? no. that is impossible





those that know the truth also inhabit a life that by definition truly bites
