...so late this evening I remembered I was out of breakfast bars and almost out of Claritin, so I ran across the street to the Safeway to get them.

It appears they don't sell Claritin-D there at all.

I assume this is because Claritin-D now has to be kept behind the pharmacy counter and you have to give your name and address to buy a maximum of two weeks' worth at a time because you might be running a meth lab.

There is no pharmacy at the local Safeway.

I assume the reason there is no pharmacy at the local Safeway is that there used to be an Osco right nextdoor, until CVS bought it out, closed it, and moved it to a place that is not fucking across the street from my house.

There's a Walgreens down the street, but fuck it, it's too late and I have one pill left anyway and I guess I can hit Fry's on the way home from work tomorrow.

The whole thing's just completely fucking asinine.  I am, as you might expect, not happy that the world has turned into a place where the default assumption when you go to buy allergy meds is that you're running a fucking meth lab.

If you are running a meth lab, of course, you probably get your hands on it anyway.

Because otherwise, y'know.  You're not running a meth lab.

Yeah.

...you know, it just occurred to me that I know the state senator who's led the charge to dismantle the traffic cameras on our highways.  I should send that guy an E-Mail.

I do know the meth production rate in Oklahoma has dropped dramatically since we started restricting cold medicine. Still annoying though.

I really don't get it.

The Daily Show and Colbert Report basically have three commercials they show during break. This is probably selective memory but I swear that's the commercial they show 90% of the time. It got annoying after a while.

Perhaps you guys get a more diverse selection of commercials?  :shrug:

That's actually a tendency of Comedy Central. You can always tell a Roast is coming up because they'll play the commercial three times in a row during a single break.

He watches online, so he only gets the three or four Hulu commercials.

In Oklahoma (or at least what used to be the Albertsons near my parents house), you cannot buy dayquil and nyquil in the same purchase.  You may buy one single package of cough/cold remedy per visit to the store.  My folks now simply buy one at the pharmacy in the store, then the other at the register.

Thank god Missouri doesn't have this fucking law.  And I can buy hard liquor at the grocery store.

Illinois has that law. It's why my brother's in prison. To be fair, though, he did have a record, and was probably going to use the cold medicine to make meth.  :shrug:

Big feature requests, four hours before launch.

I open up the campus e-mail system to find this announcement sent out to the class:

CLASS,
 
Now that you have had time to practice. Exam 2 will be given on Monday May 4, 2009. The practice that you had on Wednesday 4/29/2009 should have been an eye opener. Be prepared!

I do know the meth production rate in Oklahoma has dropped dramatically since we started restricting cold medicine.

Which I am sure is the only thing they have done to crack down on meth labs, so the relationship MUST be causal.

Even if it were, that's fucking irrelevant.  Setting up officers to do full cavity searches of every passerby on every corner would completely eliminate the transport of illegal drugs and weapons, but it would be a grossly overreaching violation of basic privacy rights and presumption of innocence punishing an entire population for the actions of a tiny minority.

...anyway.  It turns out Fry's was out of the 15-packs of generic Claritin-D!  15, of course, being the most pills they are allowed to sell you at one time.  So, you know, that's 5 days sooner I'm going to have to deal with this shit again.

Speaking as a guy who writes software that students have to use, the criteria set by non-technical persons are usually the reason why such software is terribad.

Namely, the one where government contracts have to go to the lowest bidder.

...yeah, that's complain-to-the-dean stuff right there.

It's sure as shit going to show up on his course evaluations.

True story: I once had a linguistics quiz scheduled for 9 AM the day after Halloween.  Which was also, oh, closing night of Rocky Horror.  The last show of which ended at 2 AM.  Followed by strike.  Followed by my sticking around to have beers and say goodbye to all my friends because it was my last show.

The professor handed us course evaluation forms right after the quiz.  I am curious about his thought process on pretty much every level.

I had a class once where the exam was scheduled for 11am to 1:30pm.  The class had been 12:30pm to 3pm, but the school sets the exam schedule differently.  The adjunct teaching it decided she was doing the exam from 12:30 to 3, though, and so didn't show up until 12:30.  Those of us who had other exams starting at, say, 2?  Just kinda fucked.
