likewise, the study of the stars that a star-eater eats would be gastroastronomy

Would a study of intergalactic food be astrogastronomy?

technically, black pepper is a fruit too

watching gdq recordings and woah, that final fantasy 6 run this year is ridiculous and i have no idea what just happened

people are talking about the year of the rat, but what about the rat of the year?

....as a follow-on to this, is there any language that has separate names for fruits-on-the-plant and fruits-used-as-food

does any other language do the weird thing english does where the meat and the animal it comes from have two different words? like pork/pig, beef/cow, venison/deer, mutton/sheep

not a fan of how microsoft makes you jump through hoops to install just *some* of the microsoft office programs instead of *all* of them

that holding hands meme, with one hand labelled "mega man" and one hand labelled "samus" and the thing between them "e-tanks"

pharmaceutical misadventures 

our insurance has been pestering us to get 90-day prescriptions, so we did, and went to fill it today

took the prescription to the nearest pharmacy. They didn't have it in stock, fair enough, went to another one that did have it in stock

they tried to fill it, and the insurance denied it saying they only allow 30-day prescriptions.

????

but it gets better: we gave up on getting the full 90 days since we need it tomorrow (they can't do a partial fill since it's a controlled substance, so the other 60 days prescribed are just lost)

got a 30 day fill of it

and the insurance gave the pharmacist a message for us, telling her to tell us that they would *really prefer it* if we would get 90-day prescriptions

??????????

responses to this would be appreciated, if anyone has reassuring words

i'd like to get away from at least this unimportant thing that our brain has decided to assign undue importance to

re: context, because i think it might help to have people see it? maybe that will be reassuring? 

we still can't really listen to that piece without being reminded of the whole thing which is a shame because it's a really good piece of music

context, because i think it might help to have people see it? maybe that will be reassuring? 

like seven or eight years ago we won a raffle a composer was doing for a custom composition, but we misunderstood what the thing was for and asked for an arrangement of a piece we liked because we wanted to have sheet music to try to play it ourselves

it feels like we really squandered that opportunity and also insulted the musician by implying their original work wasn't worth anything or something

and they even went and made a recording of it too, meaning they had other musicians playing the different parts
