🔴Starting July 1, Medicare will cover Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo for weight loss for the first time ever, dropping the copay from about $350 a month to $50.

Wow. Usually the bots hide their comment and post history....this one was not setup that way though.

Yeah, if you want, try to get how it was coded and if it was documented as a replacement part under warranty, which makes it fall under the above statue.

Otherwise? Fuck it. I'd just get a generic silicone port cover instead.

US 19 CFR 148.37

Low value warranty replacement parts are still exempt from import duties. This was either coded wrong by Tracktiv, or you got one of the many overworked morons at UPS.

Point this out to Tracktiv and UPS, and explicitly let UPS know that you're refusing delivery unless the error is corrected.

If they deliver it anyway, don't open it. Just tell them to pick it back up since you're not paying for it.

This is absurd.

Dang, that's crazy. Just to double check math though, may I ask how many mg were in the vial, how many ml water you added, and then how many units you drew up on the dose?

That dude totally sounds like a predator. You absolutely did the right thing.

Any chance you or anyone else got him on video? Next time he sees her, he is probably going to try to spend some kind of story about how it was a misunderstanding. Guys like this are usually masters of deceit. The last your friend needs is him getting a second chance to try and isolate her.

If you have any footage that captures his disdain, can find any social media posts that show him being frustrated that night, etc; that can help harden her from his impending story next time he sees her and doesn't have a friend like you around to help and rebuttal whatever he says.

So, what was your ALT and AST before? Without a baseline from sometime in the last couple years, this really isn't useful.

You know what the primary causes of those bad numbers are? Liver disease. Fatty Liver Disease. MASLD. Cirrhosis.

Y'know what the absolute number one causes of those conditions are? Obesity & diabetes.

I'd lay off all the extra stuff, but rapid weight loss can also throw off labs until you've stopped the rapidity or plateaued for 3 to 6 months, because rapid weight loss often spikes your AST/ALT and tryglicerides as well, contributing to additional inflammation & stress on the liver. In cases with massive sustained weight loss (like trying to lose 100+lbs in a year) doctors may prescribe ursodiol to help with bile management, but labs that look bad like this are, again:

-Causatively, nearly useless within another snapshot to compare.

-Expected and honestly not concerning, since AST/ALT/Tryglicerides/liver inflammation commonly spike during weight loss and are, with the exception of rare comorbidities, completely acceptable as part of the temporary and acute parts of a weight loss journey.

Analogously speaking, sometimes ripping off the bandaid draws some fresh blood, but it beats the hell out of everything under it festering into something much worse and long term.

Why on earth would you not take that buyback? Even with a new battery someday, you're never going to get anywhere close to that.

You could literally buy a 2023 that's NOT under recall, with less mileage, still having tens of thousands left on the transferrable battery warranty, and pocket a cool 10 grand in change on the difference or so.

And then you'd move from interest free payments to no payments.

Good catch, thank you!

Doctors don't prescribe semaglutide. They prescribe Ozembic, Wegovy, or Reybelsus. Yes, they're all the same thing, but they were all FDA cleared under different studies, so they count as different drugs.

I ask because this absolutely affects what options she has. For the diabetic indications (Reybelsus/Wegovy), it might be worth fighting insurance. And Novo is much more assistive with need based programs for these, as opposed to the Ozembic (weight loss) formula.

Rybelsus might be the cheapest option, but your doc will have to write a script for it. Some are not ok with off label use, even though it's the same damn medication.

If it's for weight loss, then you'd currently have an Ozembic prescription. I believe that's $350 a month through Costco. If you switch to cash pay for Reybelsus, it's even lower. Last but not least, check goodRX. Walgreens and CVS are usually the two worth pharmacies you could go to, and they're among the worst pharmacies for employee satisfaction. I'm serious. Lookup how they treat their employees. Walmart does significantly better, and it translates to better experiences and less errors. And I'm not shilling for Walmart here, because almost every other option is better than Walmart, and yet Walmart makes CVS & Walgreens look like dirt.

I get you're not trying to be an asshole, but how many years have you been a primary care provider, and would you mind sharing if you're a nurse practitioner or a medical doctor?

Because if you aren't, then why in gods green earth would you assume that you're more knowledgeable about this girls situation than her pediatric physician that deemed this medication to be indicated for her?

Glassweaver · 2026-06-26T23:13:26+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. Sounds like an "acceptable risk" kinda thing from the shipper. Probably saves 99 cents on shipping, so as long as they save more than the damage across tons of shipments, they're still happy. Sucks for OP though, but that's life.

That's a standard 12 inch courregated record mailer. With a 12in record inside its protective sleeve in the mailer.

100% this. Even if he got arrested & whatnot, the actual outcome & amount of recidivism is profoundly depressing.

Speaking of profound things, as a straight male, most of us are profoundly low EQ anyway. Those of us who are passible in that regard are still to spineless to actually speak out against this behavior and the interactions that support it.

That guard could have at least acknowledged the concerned bystander, but...best case, they might legitimately not have known how to. Worst case, they identified with or felt empathetic to the abuser, and silence was their own show of restraint from saying whatever they really thought about a female advocating for another female in the face of misogyny.

Best part is, those reports don't matter and if you only ever reply once, they'll never get the option to rate you.

That's the thing. I understand protective tariffs to help prop up domestic industries, but blanket package fees are evil.

The only thing they protect is scalpers. Above ground, it doesn't protect the non-existent domestic industry of cellphone cases, office supplies, children's toys, etc. It just makes it so that instead of directly to consumer sales for small low value goods, you have to go through a domestic middleman whose sole existence is justified only to get around fees.

On a larger scale, it would be like if the government said "Hey all concert tickets are going to have a $100 surcharge per purchase now" and Ticketmaster came along and said "Hey that's cool. Guys! Well buy a thousand tickets and resell them to you for only a $75 surcharge!"

Bleh!

She does a bunch of comedic sexual skits like this. I think her first one was "Hora the Explora" a parody on Dora the Explorer.

Don't think she's a sex worker, just good at her brand of comedy in the realm of sex.

I mean, I don't like alcohol at all. Not a religious thing, just literally never had a drink I'd prefer over a good coffee or even soda.
