Would you rather be lucky or good?

@halcy another part of being lucky is being the kind of person that people go the extra mile for. A lot of that is privilege, and some of that is attitude. If you leave your hat on the table at the restaurant, a big part of whether it's behind the counter when you come back, or if it went in the dumpster as soon as you left, is how you treated the staff. "Luck" is in part how much other people want good things to happen to you.
@halcy I think another part is gratitude. You can curse your luck that you lost your hat, or feel lucky that it was there when you came back.
If you have four walls and a roof, three squares a day, good friends and family, a bit of transcendent joy every so often, that can feel incredibly lucky.
If you are always comparing and judging by what others have, you'll never feel lucky because you'll always find someone who has more or better than you.

@aeva @landelare Oh, sure. I don't have a "glxinfo" command, but visualinfo produces this: https://nopaste.net/l92XzrU5kr which... oddly includes GL_EXT_shader_image_load_store.
I'm clearly doing something wrong. Not sure how I could get a working OpenGL program running, without it saying extensions that are supported, are supported. Maybe you have to set a specific... mode, before they get supported?

@dank I looked up the relevant law yesterday, and unfortunately I believe my pharmacy is in compliance with it. Psychiatrists can't prescribe 90 day supplies, but Psychiatrist can write three 30 day prescriptions in advance, and the pharmacy is not allowed to fill the written prescriptions before their start dates. So if you are consistently able to get your medication 3 days in advance, you're either consistently picking it up 3 days late or your psy or pharmacist is out of compliance.

@evadm schema chiaro e utile, grazie. Conferma i punti critici per i quali ho deciso il mio voto

@aeva they still treat them weirdly and require calling in to get them filled, and there are often shortages, and those are inexcusable practices.
the best way i've found to get around this is scheduling refill appointments with my prescriber a week before i run out, calling the pharmacy to make sure they order the meds and fill as scheduled, and almost always calling the day they decide i can have life-saving meds again to make sure they actually fill

@aeva our persecution is inexcusable, pernicious, and openly malicious.
however, whatever policy your pharmacy is claiming to adhere to, it's not real. i'm at most 20 miles from you and i routinely get fills for my schedule ii meds as early as 3 days before the prior fill runs out. this has been the case for phentermine, dextroamphetamine, and lisdexamfetamine, from 2012 on which is when i first started filling these meds.

@mason Very nice 😄

@kertinker @landelare also if you happen to be on linux could you paste the output of glxinfo to a pastebin somewhere and link it here?
