hi

“Yeah and here, it looks like Italy is a boot!”

“A boot?”

“Oh, it’s a like… A big shoe.”

“Ohh ok, ha yes! I can see that!”

“But look, it also looks like France is a lion and is eating the boot.”

“You humans sure love to do that.”

“Do what?”

“See things, but make them visible first. Like the stars.“

“Oh you mean the constellations? Yeah it’s just a thing we do to do, personification or like anthropomorphing, I can’t remember which.”

“I find it very interesting. My species do not do that. When you show me the const-…”

“Constellations.”

“Constellations, yes. When you show me those or the Italy boot, I only see it until you point it out.”

“What?! So you’ve never looked at your planet and tried to see what things your geography make?”

“No never.”

They pull up a detailed satellite view of their planet.

I am stunned into silence.

The winding coastlines, the vast mountain ridges, the dots of civilization clashing with nature…

The same image is repeated all over the planet.

In stunning detail, in all shapes and sizes, me and the alien, 69ing, at least 6 times.

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

I have four muffin tips for making bakery style muffins at home.

Tip number one:

Rest your batter for 15 minutes in your mixing bowl after you make it. This is gonna allow the starch molecules to swell and absorb, creating the thicker batter and the thicker batter is known for doming!

Tip number two:

Fill your muffin holes with at least six to eight tablespoons of batter. That’s like a heaping half cup okay. You want them super full so they’re gonna create that dome.

Tip number three:

Kinda goes along with tip number two. You’re only gonna fill every other hole in your muffin pan. And why we do that - that’s so the muffins that are baking can spread and dome without running into their neighbors. Because when they run into their neighbors they get like square edges but we want perfect dome circles.

Tip number four:

You’re to bake your muffins at a high temperature initially. That’s gonna be 425*F for the first seven minutes. And then keep them in the oven and lower the temperature to 350*F for the remaining bake time. Starting the muffins off at a high temperature initially allows the muffins to rise rapidly and it sets the outer surface of the muffin, producing a dome shape.

This ABSOLUTELY works.
