The US pharmacy industry overcharges US patients to a disgusting extent. Biden\'s efforts to undo their rapacious lobbying are well directed.

I\'m fortunate that the only prescription drug I take is lisinopril. Even

It\'s one of the three blood pressure lowering drugs I take. It\'s not the one I was originally prescribed, but when that one went out of production that was the substitute the local expert recommended. It took a couple of years of fiddling to get my blood pressure down to an acceptable range, but strokes are just one of the bad outcomes you avoid by getting there.

We have a GUI for editing the various configuration files in the system.

I placed it to call attention to the ridiculous cost of the bridge. The
road is a shortcut for me but a lot of people would never go there.

Most of the caches I\'ve placed are on trails that are a bit more
scenic.
This one is what is referred to as a \'park and grab\' meaning you might
have to walk 100\' rather than 6 miles.

So anyone can add one and add it to the list? Then others try to find
it and add stuff? I assume you can also take stuff or it would
overflow.

The assumption with the ones that have stuff is you leave something and
take something. Many of them only have space for the log to sign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_nano
https://bisondesigns.com/products/capsule


It relies on noone being an arsehole.

Yes. It works fairly well. Muggles, after Harry potter, can be a problem
if they find the cache and move or destroy it. I\'ve had problems with
large, furry muggles. If you find pieces of the container it might have
tooth or claw marks. Food, or anything with a scent, is discouraged. Bears
have excellent noses.

I was thinking more of theiving people.

A friend started an alternate site, https://www.terracaching.com/, when he
felt people were logging caches they had never found. Most of those caches
have a confirmation code that has to be entered to log the find. He sold
the site to a German group and most of the local people dropped out. I
think it is more popular in Europe now.

The box has electronics in it?

What are they? Buried tins?

Some are ammo cans although the trend is toward transparent or other non-
threatening containers. A few ammo cans that were in suspicious spots have
been blown up by bomb squads.

Typical of your over the top overly sensitive military/police.

> Burying them as in digging a hole and back filling it is not allowed.

Why not? You have the precise coordinates and a satnav.

Hiding them in a rock pile, particularly in an artificial rock is okay.
Other camouflage techniques are phony outlets,

Outlet? I thought that was American for mains socket. So they go inside buildings too?

magnetic number that you

Big fucking pine cone. Or number.

I prefer ones that are relatively easy to find but involve a hike or bring
you to an interesting area. Others prefer sites that are easy to get to
but might require a lot of searching to find the cache. There are two
rating system for the difficulty of getting to the site and the difficulty
of locating it. Some may require apparatus including ladders, scuba gear,
or boats and that is stated in the description.

Sounds interesting. Although the reward isn\'t great.

In the middle ages, people would farm any place that grew enough food to keep them barely alive. When places like the US and Australia opened up the Scots and Irish emigrated there. leaving their difficult areas behind them. On the east coast of the US there are areas that were farmed by the early settlers, but reverted to forest when better land became availabe further inland.

The Scottish wanker is descended from generations of people too dumb to exploit better opportunities. There are clever scots descended from people who could get off the land by getting skilled and educated, but the dim wanker clearly isn\'t one of them.

Low value targets. I did find a cache where the first finder got a $5 gift
certificate for the Great Harvest Bread Company. For the ones that do have

No, only a paper log. The confirmation code is used when logging the cache
on the website.

Precise is relative. On good days you might have 3 meter precision. That\'s
a lot of digging. Part of it is to prevent destruction of the site.

Big fucking pine cone.

The predominate species here is the Ponderosa pine but they\'re large
enough to conceal a small container.

I\'d prefer to use the Chinese stuff.

Show us some electronics that you\'ve designed.

Show us a nuclear power station you\'ve designed. Show us a operating system you\'ve written. Not everyone does everything.

P.S. \"Show us some electronics you\'ve designed\" flows so much better. Why did you add the extra word \"that\"?

I have written three RTOS\'s and a few compilers and several language interpreters and one math package, but I don\'t have the code handy.

And the code from back then tended to be crude and buggy.

John Larkin is definitely an electronic engineer and he does post stuff here that he claims that he has designed. He doesn\'t seem to know anything about the design process, and his circuits seem to be evolved rather than designed. He certainly doesn\'t say much about the design process.

There nothing prissy about pointing out that you could have expressed yourself more clearly. What you did write did expose your unfortunate personality all too clearly, but that\'s a different issue.
