I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    This old lady I know went and got a prescription filled last week. The co-pay was $24. Not bad, I don’t know what medicine it is. Then she got home and couldn’t find it. After looking everywhere and not finding it (probably threw it out by accident) she went back to get a refill and said,“I’ll just pay cash for this, I fucked up” and it rung up at $10. The cash price was less than half the insurance price. What the fuck is that?

      I work in a pharmacy and never understand these stories. That’s just not how insurance billing works.

      Good chance the people at the pharmacy used some sort of discount card that brought the price lower than her insurance. I see that all the time. But a copay can’t be higher than the cash price. That would result in the pharmacy paying the insurance company minus cost to fill the prescription which just wouldn’t happen.
