Biggest difference between medicine in 2008 and 2015: lipid therapy is basically atorvastatin if you have insurance, simvastatin if you don’t, and most American men over 45 are supposed to be on one or the other.

I have 30% suspicion audiobooks playback position sync is being exchanged not by the device “iCloud” account but rather by the “iTunes” account. Can’t prove it yet, sync is also intermittent/flaky. Of course can only see if iCloud != iTunes.
