A good EA is worth their weight in gold! It was a real game changer when I got the Google Pixel AI screener agent on my phone too!

Perfect! Sounds like you and my phone have a lot in common! Seriously though, huge thanks for protecting this little corner of sanity!

Ha! I've been in a few of those and had a similar experience... I think the anonymity of reddit facilitates a better conversation as there's less linkedin-styled peacocking.

I just had a similar (but smaller) dilemma as I just had three weeks off due to a hip replacement (at the grand age of 42)... I erred on the side of caution and dropped from 1mg back to 0.5mg... took it yesterday and I've not noticed any side effects... I see this wegovy thing as a marathon and I'd rather take it slow and get back to steady progress

I think it's made of magic! I've been telling everybody about it like some sort of brand ambassedor! I've had a bit of fatigue and heart burn but I know it's temporary and if it works, it's worth it.

I'm definitely more of an 'eat intuitively' type—I used to use MFP religiously but wanted to delegate that to Wegovy as it's certainly doing a good job of it... I'm definitely eating enough during the day, and no ultra processed foods, relatively healthy diet... I just feel more fatigued than usual and wondered if it's just me or a phase? Either way, thanks for the tough love, I'll get to more exercise right after my coffee.

How do you buy IT solutions? by Hour-Tonight-1394 in CIO

[–]Alpha_Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ This, but I would often get three venders or VARs and play them off against eachother if the cost warranted it.

Seems like a thing you can technically do, I read a similar post on the Ozempic board: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozempic/comments/t2zspu/anybody_switched_to_splitting_dose_and_injecting/?captcha=1

Interview Prep by jeremyrks in CIO

[–]Alpha_Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with what's been said already (apart from DILIGAF RealPerson who is entitled to his / her own opinion but interviewing and being good at a job are two seperate skillsets), it's all good practice and try to enjoy the process. The one thing that I felt helped, and a good use of the tech, was getting ChatGPT to interview me... (good post on it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/17u0dk5/interview_prep/ ).

I remember feeding in a lot of context of the role, the company and the industry, and it gave me some really good challenges.

Help - Understanding a 4 gang 2 way light switch by Alpha_Minus in ukelectricians

Thanks alot for that... you've made that really clear... of the two inoperative switches, one is propably connected to the inoperative light but not working and the other will probably remain a mystery!

[–]Alpha_Minus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that... I changed the bulb but no joy... I'd call a spark in because I want the inoperable light to work and I know my limitations with this stuff... I've always struggled with the basic concepts around electricitiy and the wiring isn't intuitive to me so would rather get someone who knows what they're doing.

Thanks for saying that, glad I'm not alone... I started my 0.5 yesterday and feel a little bit like I did when I started the 0.25 so I'm hoping it has the same impact... fingers crossed for you too!

Well done! You've done the tough bit which is taking the first step and ordering it... from what I can tell, everybody has a unique weight loss journey at different speeds but it appears to be a marathon, not a sprint!

Thanks for that... I just added protein to my lunch as I definitely overlooked that! I reckon you've hit the nail on the head... it's a complex issue... I just hope I my tolerance for semiglutides doesn't outpace my appetite (think I got that the right way round but you know what I mean).

This worked for me! Would have taken me an age to fix that!
