5: Hypatia of Alexandria, Greek mathematician, philosopher and last librarian of the Library of Alexandria, was murdered by a Christian mob that ripped off her skin with sharp sea-shells. Various types of shells have been named, including clams, oysters and abalones. Other sources claim tiles or pottery shards were used.

It's for the best, turns out my wellbutrin has raised my blood pressure back through the roof so I gotta get back on my old blood pressure meds until I can get back to my regular doctor.

In a comment to my post on putting out fires last week, one commenter mentioned the utility of the good old sand bucket, and wondered if there was anything that would go on to set the sand on fire. Thanks to a note from reader Robert L., I can report that there is indeed such a reagent: chlorine trifluoride.
I have not encountered this fine substance myself, but reading up on its properties immediately gives it a spot on my “no way, no how” list. Let's put it this way: during World War II, the Germans were very interested in using it in self-igniting flamethrowers, but found it too nasty to work with. It is apparently about the most vigorous fluorinating agent known, and is much more difficult to handle than fluorine gas. That’s one of those statements you don’t get to hear very often, and it should be enough to make any sensible chemist turn around smartly and head down the hall in the other direction.
The compound also a stronger oxidizing agent than oxygen itself, which also puts it into rare territory. That means that it can potentially go on to “burn” things that you would normally consider already burnt to hell and gone, and a practical consequence of that is that it’ll start roaring reactions with things like bricks and asbestos tile. It’s been used in the semiconductor industry to clean oxides off of surfaces, at which activity it no doubt excels.
1947: The Collyer Brothers, extreme cases of compulsive hoarders, were found dead in their home in New York. The younger brother, Langley, was crushed to death when he accidentally triggered one of his own booby traps that had consisted of a large pile of objects, books, and newspapers. His blind and paralyzed brother Homer, who had depended on Langley for care, died of starvation some days later

that shit is fucking awesome
they should make a movie about that
or like, an episode of Supernatural where they're like "okay clearly that's demons"
but nope, it's just that nature is horrible and wants us all to die screaming
It was right there.
I gave it to the pharmacist.

"Oh lol, sorry your insurance requires prior physician's approval..we faxed it off..it'll be ready sometime this week..."
"but..isn't a prescription by its very nature prior approval..."

That's your insurance making a last ditch attempt to keep you from making them pay for pills for the rest of your life.

Lower-schedule drugs they probably wouldn't have cared. But Adderall is an amphetamine, so there you go.

Prior authorization. The insurance company wants to know why you're being prescribed that drug and why you're not using an alternative.

usually that a pharmacy call's the Dr's office to confirm thing, not an insurance company thing
is that so wrong
all insurance companies are unspeakably evil in the US, as far as I can tell
it's not bcbs that's doing that, it's your carrier. Anthem or Humana or whoever.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
The solution here is to be prescribed Strattera so your insurance company will mail you bucketfuls of Adderall as an alternative.
but my carrier..is BCBS?
