Really cool to hear today that Lilly is working on a version of Brenipatide + GLP+GIP (Mounjaro/wegovy) that is specifically to treat addictions like alcohol and opiode use disorder.

That the diet of the American people - not by choice - has been degraded by money grubbing corporates that have addicted ppl to crap food through marketing and over processed foods? Yes, I agree with that.

nice! You are one of the very few who can do that. I ran marathons for years and couldn't keep it off on 1500 calories a day. But on tirzepatide, I was doing 600-800 cal a day and dropped 110lbs in 10 months.

>obesity rates have grown dramatically in America over the last few decades.

Yes, carbs in the avg diet went up in the 70-80's by a stunning 40-55% (google it - cdc "Trends in Intake of Energy and Macronutrients --- United States, 1971--2000"). That increase equals those in their 40's and 50's getting over weight from 90's to 10's... Sugars are the great enemy of the healthy.

> lack of exercise

Is not an issue for most over weight. I ran marathons for a few years and put on weight.

>What will their health be like in the long term

Mass majority drop in A1C, liver enzymes stabilize, cholesterol comes down, blood pressure comes down, heart rate comes down. All that is good news for health long term.

Well, it goes far beyond that. Studies in progress are showing most people that have issues with various addictions (from caffeine, tobbaco, drinking, and even harder drugs), are having success kicking-the-habit while taking glp1's. ( I quit coffee after 2 pots a day for 40years...wasn't even trying)

You are not alone, that is the typical uneducated view with many people who are uneducated about obesity. It is a disease, not a "personal responsibility condition. Meta studies - over and over and over, that diet and exercise do not equal long term weight loss. It simply doesn't work. The last study had 10k people in and 5 people were able to keep more than 20lbs off after five years. (google it)

That was before isp's started throttling Youtube (via sniffed packets) and rewriting google Adsense Ads. Suddenly, Google got the religion on HTTPs and - oh, they even wrote a thing with Verzion called Net Neutrality. Nothing to see here - move along - move along.

Remember when all we could talk about was AI slop? Then they started fixing that stuff one-by-one. Well, next up is browsers.... and they'll fix that stuff one-by-one. *yawn*...

The only difference in the web from then and now is Google. The web was rewritten in page ranks image.

main phone is a s24ultra and biz phone is a s9plus. The s9 is have the thickness and weight of the 24 ultra. Man, the smaller thickness and 2/10smaller screen size is nice after a week. I've always loved the bigger screen, but using this combo for a few months and I am about ready to buy an Edge for my next phone.

I just think the whole concept of "location" or psychical "thing" is not correct. I mean we didn't allow states to regulate TV or radio broadcast - we shouldn't allow states to regulate the internet either. The net is closer to a broadcast medium that a business address. If you aren't going to stop there - why not let them negotiate their own trade agreements with foreign powers too.

We really went way wrong when we allow states to regulate interstate commerce with the internet.

11k? Honestly, it is surprising that it is that long. Slacks is just basic server/client chat app. With some well placed calls to load js libraries off google and other cdns, I think you could do it in half that.
