This is like written IT shortcut like i18n or k8s. Just need to know first character, last character, and the length
I thought this was a joke, but looking at the picture again this absolutely might be the case.
Pa_____l
Impressive!
The last letter even is a “L” . Pa--------l, couldnt be clearer
I didn’t think it looked like an L at all, because I was thinking “cursive”. Connecting all the letters together for efficiency is the point of cursive.
Oh, I read at as cursive too. Just that the loop of the l at the end is extremly small.

Can you give the answer to those scrambled words?
Second one appears to be dissertations. Third one I think is a misselled flagrantly. I’m convinced the first one isn’t a real word.
I the first one might be Onomatopoeia
That was my guess, but it’s missing letters vs the other two which had a single additional letter, so that’s why I wasn’t sure.
I just realized the OP was edited and now it looks closer to opinion.

Internalization and Kubernetes have the two worst acronyms in the industry and should not be used as a how to guide.
I disagree. I think anyone who’s worked with either will recognize i18n or k8s. They’re unambiguous, memorable, and search well. That’s more than can be said about most acronyms. The alternative for single words is to use just part of the word (like intrn or kube) and I think those are less memorable and more ambiguous.
k8s sounded ok until other related software started using the same convention. now we have k3s, k9s, k2s and probably more
Oh man this is so bad
I mean, Kubernetes is a really stupid name for what it is, but I guess Docker was already taken. I’m going to make my own containerizing system and call it deghwI’, which is “helmsman” in Klingon.
Kuberneten?
lol just realized the typo, fixed
pebkac, iirc ianal, eli5 plz k thx

My 3rd world SEA cuntry now uses computerised online prescription systems, even in the smallest government clinics. Cuts down on transcription errors and allows the physician to review your medical history before prescribing anything.
My 3rd world country has been working on it for over 10 years. And now old (retired) people have it… So the rest of us any day now.
My 3rd world country hasn’t even conceived of this.
Somehow, the pharmacist can fill it without even needing to ask the doctor what it says.
Omg what if it’s a feature not a bug, a coded script as a defence against non Dr. Prescriptions.
The existence of legible doctors disproves it, but I enjoyed the thought enough to share.
I’m reminded of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry got a doctor’s phone number and couldn’t read it.
Lmfao, I only ever get bits and pieces from this show but it sounds pretty funny
Me at the pharmacist: “I don’t know, it clearly says ‘cocaine’ to me”.
I think he had a stroke. He should see another doctor.
Which a doctor wouldn’t prescribe as it’s otc like everywhere.
They do prescribe it here, though. If you’re sick for work for something minor, you might get a prescription for painkillers, which in turn drives the price down to 1/4th of the OTC price. 😉
It ends up prescribed commonly in the US too, which may make some difference in the price depending on insurance, though from what I hear anectdotally unfortunately not often for OTC meds. Truthfully idk because we don’t have time to memorize that additional, inconsistent, constantly-changing layer of bureaucracy on the US healthcare shit-sandwich. Safety-net hospitals usually have people whose whole job is to help with stuff like this though
Is paracetamol expensive in the USA? Over here it’s about 30p for 16. You’d need to need about 550 tablets to make it worth getting on prescription. The advantage of the prescription here is that to get that many you’d have to make over 200 trips to the shop due to sales restrictions.
No I can go on Amazon right now and buy a bottle of 500 for like $10

They don’t though.
They do. I’ve gotten a prescription before for 800mg pills of ibuprofen. OTC is generally 200mg pills.
They do, it just depends on the drugs. Sometimes you might even need a prescription for a heavier dose than what OTC might offer.
That makes it not otc…
No, it makes it OTC up until a fixed dosage. Naproxen for example is basically Aleve, an OTC pain killer. However you can only get 500mg+ tablets of Naproxen through prescriptions because they’re reserved for people with real pain problems.
… which makes it not otc, you literally just described exactly what I’m saying and are telling me it’s the opposite.
But I can’t buy 500mg tablets over the counter

In the UK you can only buy a maximum of 32 at a time over the counter. So doctors often prescribe larger amounts.
Also in the UK prescriptions may be free for a patient, so a doctor may definite prescribe over the counter medicines to ensure access.
Yeah, not sure about everywhere else, but here apparently pharmacies don’t have the 60-tablet Aspirine-caffeine because it requires a prescription to be able to buy it, while they are allowed to sell you 5 or more 30-tablet packs otc… 😂

We’ve only recently started the change to e-prescriptions where you just have to show your ID card at the Pharmacy, but not all doctors do it yet.
We still have a very large amount of old-school pill-doctors (as we call them here) that will write you one of these…
You will get weirdly looked at at some pharmacies though. 😅
They’ll prescribe it, but in the US at least your pharmacy won’t fill it and you pay full price.
Why am not surprised?
Well you should be because it’s not true. The pharmacist might tell you it’ll cost less than your prescription copay to just buy it OTC but they’ll fill it.
That’s really no better.
Of course it is, you’re just stupid.
Telling me insurance is so shitty you might as well just buy it isn’t the gotcha you think it is. If you’d said they actually reasonably cover it maybe I’d be impressed.
It’s like $10 for the copay and OTC Tylenol is basically free. I reiterate, you’re just kinda stupid.
Doctors prescribe over the counter medications all the time. I was prescribed acetaminophen, and ibuprofen for post surgical pain
i got a prescription for a higher dosed paracetamol which can not be bought without a prescription. not in the us though.
