Why is the fact that it is cold in Europe during winter a news story?

It's been snow in places where there hasn't been snow in for like ages. And a lot of people have died, especially in countries that are not used to the cold. We've had like up to -40 C in some places in Sweden, but we are used to it. But they had snow in Rome, and big problems in Romania, Ukraine etc.

I really haven't read much about what's happening over there but I was talking to an Italian colleague of mine last night who has ties back home and apparently their government is refusing to but equipment to remove all the snow and people are going ape**** over it. I guess they've said "Why buy all that stuff to use it once?" - Which I suppose makes sense but it seems like the government are taking the same approach to their country as some people do with their driveways - Eff it... Wait till spring.  8)

Makes no sense at all for them to spend a dime doing anything other than maybe buying some shovels to clean off some sidewalks, at best.  If they bought equipment the snow would probably be gone by the time it showed up.  Crazy people... just enjoy a few days off from work!

Nevermind that they can't afford to be spending money in the first place, especially on equipment that, like Corn Flake said, probably won't show up until the snow is gone, and only use it once. If there's something that Italy shouldn't spend its money on this is it!

Why do you need a prescription to get antibiotics?  I'm not asking for morphine or oxy, I just want some damn penicillin.  I know what's wrong with me, why do I have to waste my time and the doctor's time by making an appt or going to the ER?

This is bulldooie.

Partly that, and partly because different antibiotics are used for different types of infections, and, not being a doctor, you (and I, for that matter) don't know which you really need or even you even have an infection at all and not just a virus (depending on the situation, of course).

Nothing a reputable medical web site won't tell you in 5 seconds.

A reputable medical web site still can't give you a strep test or anything like that. It will give you the symptoms and what might be prescribed, but, a lot of viruses mimic the symptoms of bacterial infections, and only someone who really knows what they're looking for, how to look for it and has the proper equipment available to do so can tell you which is which.

Yeah, googling non-prescription anti-biotics gave me some details.

Doesn't mean I didn't have to waste everybody's time today.  Spent an hour at the doctor's office just to have it confirmed that I have a sinus infection and need antibiotics.

EDIT: And LHF, did that not get censored in my original post?  It seems using the tapatalk app to post bypasses the censor somehow.

Google Chrome, might try Firefox again for a while to see if it works better. But this didn't used to be an issue for me.

Is that happening no matter what site you're at, or in a specific situation?  Stuff like that can happen sometimes if the previous page's content depended on a form being submitted, or some other kind of input that it's not receiving if you just hit the back button.

It's usually during sites with different types of lists. Like when I look at jobs, or portable computers. But I have also noticed that I couldn't log onto my internet bank, but it worked in Firefox. And this must have happend within the last few days.

Linux is the stupidest operating system in the world, and those that helped create it ought to be punched in the face and kicked in the balls.
