re: Will GLP-1s end extreme obesity?

Seems like ozempic and these shots have killed the bariatric stomach stapling surgery business. I heard that from an anesthesiologist.
All of these are nothing more than “The Opt Out Bowl”. Not watching

Until it takes your job, friend of mine was an app developer for years. Lost his job a few months ago due to AI.

Yep- every serious runner has taken an explosive poo in the trees/garden/behind a building at some point in their careers.

Maybe a couple of Baja blasts could help blast out the crunchwraps every 5 miles.
There were some really bad Wagoneers (lemons) produced in the past few years. I know 2 people who bought them and forced a return.

Eventually, Amway shifted online in the early 00's to something called Quixtar


I got pulled into a Quixtar intro meeting while my sophomore year at LSU by a "friend". I remember them saying that it was not Amway!; and if you only paid the $80.00 signup fee, you would have your own immediate business.

I didn't pay it nor did I ever talk to those people again.
AI is going to put most of the Indian call centers in the poorhouse, anyway. But 100% in favor.
Federal judges have way too much power… no term limits, and I’m sick of that joke that they think they are Gods.

Comps for table players absolutely suck m, now, this really applies to any casino though not just Vegas. If I sit down at blackjack for 3 to 4 hours, give me a damn free meal and don’t argue with me about it.

Most US airlines are crap compared to the rest of the world, especially in first class
We flew first class on VirginAtlantic to Scotland last year, and had to take Delta first class on flight back.

The difference between first class Virgin Atlantic and Delta was like going to Galatories and then going to McDonald’s. It was unbelievable how nice Virgin Atlantic was, all good looking women, extremely nice, beautiful amenities, food great. Delta ….complete opposite.

Make sure you get that “winter season” payment in for whatever travel ball team you are running.

A few of these congressional trading sites I looked at show trades that the politician made over a month ago, usually several months. How does that help anyone right now, though?

Maui Jim all the way. This is why Maui Jims are hidden all the way in the back of sunglass hut these days- luxottica owns Sunglass hut, Rayban, Oakley, and lots of others. I no longer go to sunglass hut bc of this.
Taco Bell late at night like i’m in college again- Mexican pizza, 3 taco supremes, burrito supreme, bean burrito, and a crunch wrap supreme, all with loads of fire sauce and Mountain Dew.

The consequential damage (mental health, especially with older people) is overlooked a lot after disasters like this. People also forget that the Jefferson Parish idiot President Aaron Broussard had no pump operators at the pumps during Katrina, effectively intentionally flooding the entire parish and destroying many homes and lives.
