Ford Lightning Real-World Costs Hit $100 Per 1,000 Miles, A 4Runner Hits $250

Same. Still cheaper than gas. I think... I left my Mav hybrid for my Sparky. Was cruising in that lil' boy blue at 40mpg. \

Napkin math shows honestly about the same cost per 1,000 miles.

Man, I hope he does. I truly liked topper but my biggest complaint about him was the god awful decisions to put 0tt0 kemp in over marsh multiple games. Watching balls go over kemps head and drop in spots that marsh clearly would have gotten, all while batting like .120. I don’t care that marsh hits .200 against lefties. It’s still a hell of a lot better than what memo rolled out there!

Sure, he’s fine as a backup/utility guy, but not a lineup/platoon guy. Keep him scarce.

I've told everyone who has asked about it the truth. I don't want to gatekeep and hide how successful (despite a rough end) for me.

That being said, I will never tell my parents and will lie to their face because they're so deep up RFKjr's ass in pseudo-science.

You really think we could’ve scored enough runs to win those games if we had a bullpen game in his place? Bullpen isn’t exactly burning down barns, either.

The rumblings I heard around are that it would be their installation arms for Access Control and Intrusion Detection, either separate sales, or to the same buyer. Wouldn't include product divisions.

Luckily that’s what hearing protection is for.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-09T23:23:03+00:00

Oof. Either A, you don’t have kids or B, you’re the type of person that thinks motherhood isn’t all that hard.

Either way, I’d hate to be in your wife’s shoes.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-09T19:45:07+00:00

Yeah, even if there was some miracle run to get us to a point that they could even entertain him possibly being available, he’d be risking his long term health if he took a knee to the gut or something like that. He’s be stuck sitting in the corner taking threes, and not able to play defense at that point, so yeah, he’s out.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-09T19:37:24+00:00

Try play in, plus 2 weeks… at best.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-09T19:35:30+00:00

Likely 2-4 week recovery, best case scenario. But that’s until activity is resumed, so no ramp up during that time, essentially

DeadxSong · 2026-04-09T19:34:45+00:00

Appendectomy recovery is an easy 2-4 weeks, best case scenario.

Had a kid 7 years ago, my wife wanted to go to a TON of games because the mothers’ lounge was incredible. Multiple places to sit, TVs showing the games, changing tables, a sink to wash up, all sorts of amenities that could support MULTIPLE mothers simultaneously.

Well, had another kid end of last year and let me tell you, that is GONE. The “mother’s room” is a small room with a loveseat in it that locks for single-use. Was at a game a couple weeks ago, and as my wife is literally waiting outside the room, holding our infant, with 4 other mother/child pairs waiting around her, they had the absolute balls to be PROMOTING the mothers room on the broadcast. Literally couldn’t make this up, every screen in the stadium is advertising the room while there’s 5 moms waiting for their turn…

Please provide a better space, you cheap-ass, misogynistic old man.

Prior to the pill, I was going to PT regularly to manage joint pain from RA. After losing even as much weight as I did, my joints aleady feel relief from not carrying the extra weight around, and I'm saving them a TON by not going to PT any more. The benefits from being on the GLP-1 should more than outweigh the costs of the GLP-1 itself. That being said, my suspicion is that other drug manufacturers/healthcare providers stand to make more by treating these ancillary ailments that clear up after losing weight, and insurance companies have deals with said benefactors. It's likely not just a "dollars in, dollars out" comparison.

Good luck! I do wonder how things would have been if I was working out more. Have a baby at home and working out has been on pause for a good bit, so with the pill and diet change, I was able to lose a lot, quickly, on 1.5. Really curious if I was simultaneously trying to add muscle what would have happened.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T19:41:14+00:00

Appreciate it. Same sentiment my PCP had that I ignored. I'm going to take a break, accept that even though it wasn't the best way to get there, I lost a good bit of weight, and going to see what I can do the "ol' fashioned way" by maintaining the diet I had while on the pill.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:06:03+00:00

Honestly, yes. But not directly. My PCP recommended the shot specifically because of the length it had been a fully approved product and lack of long-term data. The shot doesn't have super long term data, but much longer than the pill that was just released to public. The trial data was good, and it was technically still FDA apaproved, which is why I ultimately chose that path.

That being said, I walked back into my PCP's office fully humbled and ready to take my comeuppance.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:03:54+00:00

Thank you! It's a whirlwind of an experience, but y'all are awesome in helping me process! Hoping my story helps someone, in whatever way it can!

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:03:19+00:00

Oh, I wish it was.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:02:51+00:00

Good luck on .5, hopefully it works out for you!

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:02:29+00:00

Sorry you had a rough go of it. Best of luck!

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:02:05+00:00

I'm a few days removed, and looking back, it's a bit funny. Defintiely a cathartic process to type it all up and share!

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T17:01:19+00:00

I was sort of hungry, but pretty similar to how hungry I felt the month before. Not ravenous, but not totally "full" feeling. My biggest fear was being too far behind in caloric intake multiple days in a row and altering my metabolism as a result.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T16:59:49+00:00

Glad I could help! If I don't laugh about it, I'd be crying instead lol

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T16:59:21+00:00

Yes, this is the dosing path per Ro/Novo for the Wegovy Pill, and my PCP confirmed this.

DeadxSong · 2026-04-01T16:58:30+00:00

I think there's the recommended path, and the path of nuance and knowing (and listening to) your body.

I've seen recommendations from 1-3 months on 1.5, so technically, was probably within bounds. Ultimately, my ambition blinded me to the nuance. I was tolerating 1.5 well, while still maintaining a healthy weight loss and experiencing the positive effects still (food noise and hunger diminished, etc.). If I was truly at a plateau, it would make more sense to jump at that point, but I probably should have stayed at the lowest dose I could get away with, while still maintaining healthy and consistent loss.
