Don't you have night shift apothecaries? Around here, we have multiple ones and they're on a sort of rotation where every night/week (can't remember the exact schedule) a different one is open all night, regardless of holiday or whatever. Of course you can easily check online which is open any given day of the week.

Anyway, current bummer, aside from the regular new years depression kicking in is the whole mess that's happening in northern Croatia. Today they had their third major earthquake (4+ in scale) in the last month. That's all coming on the heels of the massive one that hit around a year ago, damage from which was still being fixed in certain places. Folks are sending help any way they can to the region but there's only so much you can do when the whole thing just gets repeatedly shafted within days :I

In the big cities, possibly, but not here. I also only (unless emergence) shop at one apothecary chain, that of the old government monopoly, as a vain act of protest against the privatisation of the apothecary business, so my options are even more limited. Thankfully it is still open later than most other chains.

And yeah I checked if it was still open and it was, I just hadn't looked yet when I wrote that.

One of my professors just displayed our HW grades for the first assignment publicly in lecture, attached to our names, and I had the lowest score in the class (note that we were supposed to turn these in on January 7th). She keeps pushing people to participate as part of our grades.

Why would I participate, immediately after being publicly humiliated? Why would I want to come to lecture if I know that it's going to come with a side of public shaming?

Could you maybe ask her not to do that again?

Also, no doubt that felt embarrassing. But I'm sure no one else paid any heed.

I mean, it's illegal. She just said "Oops, hopefully no one looked!"

Like, are you kidding me? You post everyone's grades on-screen in a 15-person class for a good while and talk about them and just go "oopsies, hope no one paid attention!!" ?

Sorry Duna. It sucks. May the heavens give you strength to cope with all.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Hello again sad thread,

One of my friend's friends is apparently retiring. He's 29. It's not that he has enough money to "really" retire: he worked in tech and has some savings and lives with family, but more importantly, he's expecting to be dead by 40, so he's quitting his job.

(not due to disease. climate change/politics style stuff)

I'm not optimistic about the future either, but even that seems a bit premature.

No. Scientists are really suggesting that runaway effects will go in earnest by then.

It is inevitable. It is an essential part of human history(I mean future history) that will restore the natural balance. Aaah...Human politics. It is too late for change. We need a good dictator. :D

None of this is likely to kill someone in a developed country in the next ten years. Longer than that? Yep. Right now? Nope.
