  • Yeah.

    The doctor puts my prescription in the system. It’s available in any pharmacy immediately. (Sometimes the doctor makes a note to the backoffice, which will then put it in the system. On a busy day this can take hours.)

    I can then go to any pharmacy without pre arranging anything. At the register I say what I want (or if I’m not sure they can check my prescriptions), and a few seconds later I get it, I pay, I leave. I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than a minute.

    In some pharmacies there’s a robot that will find the medicine while I continue the conversation and pay, making it zero waiting time.

    I’m not sure exactly what “fill it” means to you. Here it means grab a box or bottle from the stock, stick a label on it and hand it over. The label has my name and a note from the doctor about its usage.




  • Because it draws those “pixels” as the signal reaches the monitor. When half of a frame is transmitted to a CRT monitor, it’s basically half way done making it visible.

    An LCD monitor needs to wait for the entire frame to arrive, before it can be processed and then made visible.

    Sometimes the monitor will wait for several frames to arrive before it processes them. This enables some temporal processing. When you put a monitor in gaming mode, it disables (some of) this.



  • When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

    I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

    We have nothing compared to fx. London.

    Where did you see cameras?

    Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

    That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.




  • Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”, and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

    I’m not having any of that. I’d rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

    I’ll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I’ve given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it’s a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I’m paying the advertised price.
