    Finally, we can get to a society without women!

    Oh wait. We only do that stupid bullshit when it's a story about being able to fertilize an egg in a lab without sperm (or some such other development) and the sexist conclusion is a society without men.

    Doctors rarely determine that. At best, they guess that you need antibiotics and then guess at what kind of infection you have.

    I'll say it again: Never in my life have I had to wait for a lab result to get the antibiotics/antivirals. A swab is taken, blood is drawn, or whatever, and I'm given a prescription. I have never heard anything back in my life. Every time I've called to check on the results of the lab tests, they won't tell me. From strep to shingles I only get the runaround. I assume they're never done despite them billing my insurance for it.

  5. Online tickets cost extra. I buy tickets in person 90% of the time. Tickets are available because I show up early or I show up, buy tickets for a later show, then go eat somewhere, then see the movie.

    and yet doctors sneer at you when you tell them you looked something up on the internet.

    Because the vast majority will do a simple Google search, and not do any serious homework. That doesn't mean that others won't do some significant reading

    Are you talking about doctors or patients here?

    If you can't get coverage then they can't tax you for it. Yes, it's a tax.

  8. If I schlep out to the theater it's for a movie I really want to see (and likely one many other people want to see as well). Therefore I need to get there early to get a decent seat. The phone comes out and I ignore the awful, awful ads until the lights go down.

    Then the previews start. Previews can range from being awful ads themselves to (rarely) being a first look at something else I want to see. If it's for something else I want to see then they're not gaining anything. I was going to buy a ticket / rent the bluray anyway. If it's some shit I don't care about the preview is going to make me hate it more and actively avoid seeing it.

    They really should just bring back classic cartoons. I'd love some Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck shenanigans before the main feature. Too bad a lot of the stuff they do would "trigger" modern audiences.

    If you're not a retard, you're doing no more harm than a doctor prescribing the same exact drug. You're likely doing less harm if you're actually dosing yourself properly based on body weight. A typical formulary has 1, maybe 2 strengths available, and your doctor picks one and a pill count/frequency based on your body weight to kinda of match.

    In most cases doctors guess at an infection and treat with a wide spectrum antibiotic. If it responds, great. If not, switch antibiotics.
    Sometimes they do a lab culture to find out what it is. Yet never in my life have I had to wait for a lab result to be given a prescription for an antibiotic or antiviral.

    Nine times out of ten the better answer is to go to a farm/fish supply store, buy some antibiotics, and handle it yourself.

  13. But why couldn't each state just create a single interstate commerce tax rate for this situation?

  14. Why do you think they're propping up an "industry" to sell this "gap year" shit?

    It's another year of debt building for those that seek a pre-student loan to travel.
    It's a year of fiscal irresponsibility training and slave labor training for those who stay with their parents and spend whatever they earn from a menial job.
    It's a year of delayed entry into the workforce in training for the year or more of delayed retirement.

    It's been broken for ages. The new owners said it was something they'd look into. It's still broken. You only get the checkbox if you're "good". On the face it it, this means karma, but Slashdot admins have been known to fuck with users's post score, standing, and account permissions administratively (outside the user-controlled karma system), including the deletion of posts.
