In a real first world country you'd be able to buy a ventolin inhaler over the counter at the chemist for five bucks and not need to see a doctor or get a prescription :australia:

I think that it was the case here in America for a few years, but it was discontinued because it uses the kind of propellant that fucks up the ozone layer, or something.

I never bothered to pick one up because, hey, my asthma is under control now.

Late edit for content: Goddammit it's official, I can no longer sleep in. Too many years of getting up at a certain time for work means my brain refuses to stay asleep past that time. :(

I just returned from a week skiing with the wife and kids, where I had fun as long as I was away from them, going downhill.

I guess my FWP is that we are healthy and lack for nothing, but I am so incredibly bored with my life.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on a desert island, completely isolated, because whenever I see a thing I want to talk about, whether a movie or game or whatever, it seems I'm the only one in the world who's seen or played it. I don't have excess money to travel or anything so escapism is the best I can do, but it's like even on these forums with millions of users, not one of them has ever played the thing I want to talk about unless it's super-mainstream and discussed to death which means I have nothing new to say about it that hasn't already been said. Part of it is that I feel bad for the developers of the more recent games who have come out with fun, interesting games or plots, some of which I plan to or have LPed, and are completely ignored because they aren't yet another open world behemoth with 40 billion collectibles.

To be fair to me I do find other things to talk about like I like looking up certain things about ancient history of biochem that can give some neat things to chat about outside of media.

Bio, if it makes you feel any better, I always like your posts.
That being said, I get your feeling. My friends are mostly nerdy but for different stuff (they like anime and 40K) and I don't typically go in for that stuff.

Also it was a coworker I respected before the whole making GBS threads on the floor thing. That's a bad look.

I don’t even....so many questions!! How did this investigation even play out? DNA tests? Strong arm interrogations?

What sort of work setting is it anyways? I mean unacceptable anywhere but I’ve got cubicle or showroom floor in my mind’s eye for some reason.

Nothing so interesting, he just so happened to strike in a section closed to like 90% of staff, and in the one bathroom a camera can clearly see the door of. Only two people entered that section of the hospital, the Phantom and the poor housekeeper that had to discover it.

As for motivations, I'd rather not know to be honest. :saddowns: You're already IN the bathroom and it clearly wasn't an emergency, why the goddamn floor

The elevator in my apartment complex has been out of service for two weeks and I have no idea when/if they ever plan to fix it. Goddammit guys, I'm a goon, you can't expect me to use the stairs!

Honestly it wouldn't be that bad if I wasn't on my feet at work all day and didn't have to run up and down the stairs there all the time. Or if this place didn't have stupidly tall ceilings, meaning it's actually two flights of stairs between each floor..

There’s a military airbase in the area and they only fly the super fast planes over here (big city with many commercial plane routes) during the air show, but for the past few days these military planes have I guess been flying training missions of “fly superfast f-19or whatever # through city and through commercial plane routes” and it’s going on all day. During the air show and the days before it, commercial routes are diverted, but right now they’re not because I can see it all above my head, and it’s loud, and I am upset at both a personal-irritated-this-is-too-loud level and a moral level because I don’t know what they’re training for but it sure as gently caress doesn’t seem good.

I've received a mail from Ubisoft claiming they found "suspicious activity" in my Uplay account... Which I haven't used in several years. As a result they've locked down the account until I request a new password. Cool, ok, except their POS website doesn't work, whenever I try to open it it gets stuck on a loading screen forever and ever.

Rhino, you did this to me!

I've lived in this apartment for almost a year now and the whole time the closet / utility room door never latched properly so even when I close it it just opens with a push. The maintenance people did a quick inspection and fixed it while I was gone one day and now I keep trying to push the door open but it doesn't budge and I have to actually turn the knob
