When I got all 4 out at once, they gave me 4 pills, each is supposed to last about 12 hours. I had to do the math on how to efficiently take them on a longer schedule than once every 12 hours to minimize the pain spike when I switched to ibruprofin.

Joel was only picked because no one else who could do it showed up that afternoon and the resistance was completely out of options.

I’m far less worried about the imminent supply shock to the economy and far more worried about the long term damage to things like the FDA. We’ve decided we’re going to try to go from ~10% vegetarian to closer to 80% or 100% because I simply don’t trust that thing like meat and milk can stay safe to consume. I do have a solid amount of food in my house, and if shelves start emptying I think I’ll be okay for a bit, but that’ll pass. I can’t really leave this country, so I need to be planning for longer term problems too.
