Fr! Not even pharmacist, just anyone with a passive knowledge of germ theory!

My elderly parents showing me clearly AI videos of a $30 robot puppy...

I couldn't convince them it was AI. I tried to explain CGI with shit like Pixar and Disney movies but it didn't work. NICOO puppy

That shit should be illegal.

Hi there, I work in a small lab just upstairs and was wondering if it's okay if I spoof a few MAC addresses to get wired internet and then use my personal VPN to torrent a few GB's of films and games? I'm sure you understand

ah yes. Murphy's law.

Looks like we found the pharmacist.

Recent research has found that the recommended length of a course of antibiotics is basically just a guess and doesn't have any hard science backing it.

I've even seen research that suggests that not finishing the full course if you feel better helps prevent resistant bacteria from taking over (because the antibiotics are killing the bacteria that are outcompeting them).

In telecoma version is take a fibre optic cable with you and burry it. A backhoe will promptly arrive to dig it up.

I bet optometrists have opinions about people who have bad enough vision that it causes them daily problems that they complain about regularly, but don't want to wear glasses for vanity reasons.

i wonder if hearing people talk about radiation as though it's an infection that can spread from person to person makes other nuclear enthusiasts twitch as much as it makes me...

or hearing someone imply that any nuclear reactor can explode in exactly the same manner that an atomic bomb does "by accident".

"OK, I unplugged the computer. ... No, I still hear air moving. ... What? You mean the footrest? Why would I unplug that?"

“I used to do programming when you could put code on your MySpace page”

Where in that document does it say that patients should decide on their own to stop taking antibiotics because they "feel better now"?

This is something one can bring up with the doctor who prescribed it, but not a decision to make on feelings.

That is interesting. But a consideration for the doctor, not the layperson. Everyday people should still take the full course prescribed and hope their physician has prescribed the right dose.

As I understand it, just cause you feel better it doesn't mean the bacteria is fully gone. If you stop taking them before that point the surviving bacteria (which were more resistant) will start multiplying again and you'll need more/stronger antibiotics at that point

Its because there might be a few bacteria left if you dont eat all the antibiotics

And those survivors might evolve and get resistant to antibiotics

Better to kill them all, leaving no survivors

"feeling better" is our physiological response to the medication working, not an indication of whatever you're sick with being out of your system. you could feel better but have bacteria remaining in small amounts not making you experience symptoms but then they begin proliferating. eventually, you'll feel sick again. take the entire regimen as recommended. it's only "recommended" because they can't make you do it, but really, you have to do it. that's how it's effective.
