  • By SPA I mean “single page application” it’s currently the dominant approach and powered in a large part by technologies like react and node. I’m not certain when it started precisely… with technology it’s more a case of “rising to prominence” rather than “first happened” I think it probably really started going around 2014 with HTML5?

    SPAs are still pretty hot but they’ve waned in popularity due to overuse and general complexity. Essentially your website becomes a single page that just swaps out what’s shown to the user as they “navigate” between different parts of the site. When well done this can make a site incredibly responsive, but it’s often quite poorly done and responsiveness can end up blocked by server requests anyways.




  • Oh, I’m sorry, that’s such a shitty process to go through (it’s even shitty up in Canada). I’ve usually been able to luck my way into one… there’s a hilarious loophole up here where if you lack a gp and see the same doctor in a walk-in clinic enough times you can force them to be your gp whether they’re accepting new patients or not. I accidentally did that when I first moved to Canada because my BCBS VT insurance only had a single doctor in network in Vancouver.


  • It’s been a few years since I was in the US but can’t a family doctor/gp write scrips for you once you’ve gotten the physche eval? When I last lived there getting a scrip written and filled every month felt like a task designed to make people with ADHD fall off medication first time they slipped up but I could usually get the scrip written by my gp.

    Also, not to make yall jealous but I moved to Canada and HOLY FUCK it’s awesome. I get my meds filled in batches of 90 with a phone appointment (no going into the office), it gets faxed directly to my pharmacy (no losing the fucking paper) and because I am out of country my last fill from my gp was a 180 day supply. I feel like a fucking human who is actually supported by society.
