You’re right - the climate is a-changin’!

Pharmacy technician here. When we bill a prescription, the processing information (either from your insurance card, or from GoodRX) is entered into the computer, then the claim (including the drug being billed, day supply, and patient information) are sent to the benefits manager (PBM), and returned to give us a determined copay to charge you. It’s during this transaction, that by using GoodRX, your information has been volunteered to GoodRX as part of the billing process.

We do not determine copays - PBMs and your plan formulary do. You showing us a dollar sign on GoodRX does not guarantee you that price.

As an aside, my particular pharmacy does not accept GoodRX due to knowledge of these practices. It may also be interesting to know that GoodRX charges pharmacies a “finder’s fee” for offering a discounted price e.g. you pay the pharmacy $25 for a $22 drug, and the pharmacy pays GoodRX $5. If you can still find independent pharmacies, support them! They will work with you.

Well, since he did it in the opposite direction, it cancels out the first one!

And even if it doesn’t, it’ll still make hundreds of trillions of dollars doing it, so it was worth it in the end.

My take? Young people have no money, interest rates suck, but when a home becomes available that is affordable,

We had an offer for cash, as is, and took it

Sounds like an issue of being unable to get into the market (that you continued to propogate). Young people are poor, so they’re unable to compete.

Who watches the watchmen?

It’s like using a gun to make Swiss cheese!

Back in the day - it was certainly quite the deal! I remember that even Pump Speed division at WPF would DQ players for so much as touching the bar. In retrospect, it was such an odd thing for us all to be so particular about - maybe just the newness of the game and maturity of chart design?

You may be interested to know that while bar play has become the norm, some players are still recognized for choosing no bar play at very high levels.

Somebody clearly hasn’t played dance games since 2004. The old bar-vs-no bar argument has since been shored up with “just play the damn game.” Regardless of original intention for the bar, it’s even highly suggested/nearly required for high-level play anymore.

I haven’t actually read machine manuals for recent releases, but does DDR Ace/SMX/Pump Phoenix still outright state not to lean on the bar?

Make it retroactive so that everyone that’s already retired has to come back and work an additional 3-5 years. Lazy boomers won’t do it.

If you aren’t aware already, most TVs have a dedicated “Game mode” that helps to sync the video and audio and reduce visual delay.

No, the commentor above you is correct. This was a Texas man officiating a wedding in Nebraska (happens to be local news to me).

More like one of those federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prisons
