Why do the dead pixels leak down like that, but not everywhere?

You’d still need to put the stuff in plastic, those bags are mesh. They are really cheap though, so there’s that.

Ooh I get to be that guy!

Acktachully, your entire digestive system is lined with taste buds! They aren’t hooked into your normal sensory awareness, so you don’t taste your own digestive juices the way you taste your mouth, but they are used for sensing things like spoiled food and spice! Those receptors can trigger ejection of material if it’s bad enough (diarrhea/vomiting, depending where in the tract it sensed bad stuff). That’s why sometimes after something very spicy, your guts burn.

I did something sort of similar except I only took pills once a day when I got it.

I got one of those 4x daily whole month pill case sets, because I’m very very bad at remembering to refill the damned things weekly, and want to do a ton all at once whenever my pills come in. It had an extra without a date on it to fill out the grid (32 total), so that one is used for travel, and was good for 4 days.

Now I’m taking pills twice a day so I use the first two weeks’ cases for morning and the second two weeks for evening and that’s room for 56 days, perfect time to renew the 90-day prescriptions. My travel case is now packed for 2 days, but I can just as easily grab the two extra cases to get 4

But if I ever end up needing to expand to more doses a day, and I’m not getting younger so that’s likely at some point, it’s still big enough for a month. Pre-planning, yeah!

I read an article about that and apparently the change to the model made the ai stop responding to affectionate solicitations with the same sort of affectionate tone in reply. It got more businesslike, and less intimate.
