  Interesting story on peanut farming on Landline this week. I buy peanut butter made from Australian peanuts for other reasons, but it's nice to learn that that's also a really good way to avoid exposure to a toxin that sometimes sneaks in on imported peanuts (apparently every batch of peanuts harvested here is tested for it).

  Yay I did get just over $200 back from Medicare for that in person appointment, not the $45 or whatever it was listed on the clinic's website (on account of being over the safety net threshold). That was definitely worth schlepping in for face to face!

  I feel like I need a whole new word to express the horror of hearing doctors describe using a genAI chat bot to check the dosages of medications they're prescribing 😭 If the older tools to let you do that aren't easy to use, raise a fucking stink about it, don't use a statistical word generator. My fucking word what has happened to the world 😭
