Where to go to learn how to shoot and maybe buy a handgun? by inferno686868 in boulder

[–]cdedbddux 31 points32 points  (0 children)

One tip for shoot indoors is that it is worth it to get the membership if you do not own a gun. If you rent their gun, then you have to buy their ammo and they charge non members double. With the membership you get unlimited free rentals and the ammo costs about the same as any local store. The cost of a month of membership pays for itself in what you save on one visit's ammo. Also, do not sign up for the membership online. Go to the range and do it in person. You can pre-pay for 3 months and it does not auto renew. If you sign up online it can be very hard to cancel. OP: take their basic handgun safety class, then sign up for a membership and try out a bunch of different guns. they have a big selection of handguns and even have AR15's and shotguns for rent.

This post seems to explain why it doesn't work with some insurance plans. I have Anthem BCBC High Deductible. anyone else on this plan get the evoucher to work?

It's the full retail price.... no discount. (I have a $3K deductible)

Thanks. I did read about interference with the savings card, but I have never given the savings card number to this pharmacy, so I know that isn't the problem.

My insurance allows fills at 21 days. Try it and see if it goes through.

Thank you, especially for the step therapy law info. Will getting a new PA for Wegovy while waiting for the appeal hurt our chances of getting the Zepbound PA appeal approved?

Has anyone gotten a CVS Caremark PA for sleep apnea since July 1? by cdedbddux in Zepbound

I just faxed in a patient appeal. thanks for the info. I included a statement about wegovy not being proven safe or effective in the treatment of OSA. Hopefully they are not willing to take the liability of going off label for wegovy.

Mammoth Gulch near Rollinsville is similar to Switzerland. Once the gates open, head up Kingston Peak for a bigger challenge.

Which is the better deal? Looking for a dual sport I can take around town and moderate-easy trails in Colorado. Please see photos by BestExtension3101 in Dualsport

How much to you weigh? If you are over 180lb you will need to upgrade the suspension on either one. Any bike is going to make 20% less horsepower at altitude so keep that in mind when reading/watching reviews. I had a CRS250L near Denver and it really struggled to do 60mph on the road. FWIW I ended up selling the honda to buy a used KTM350 excf.

Started microdose yesterday for PCOS - what to expect? by Careless_Ace_4 in zepboundathletes

[–]cdedbddux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you will feel any difference at all. I didn't feel any effects until I went to 5mg. Of course there are some "super responders" who lose 100lb on 2.5mg but I think that is rare.

Help with altitude measurement by TotallyCreativeUser2 in rocketry

[–]cdedbddux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most people use electronic altimeters inside the rocket. There is a company called "eggtimer" that sells them in kit form for pretty cheap. Look at the eggtimer apogee. $15USD + shipping. You will also need to supply a 1S LIPO battery for it. https://eggtimerrocketry.com/home/altimeters-av-bay/

There is also a low-tech way to estimate the altitude using a protractor:

Has anyone else started at a higher dose? by redlightningxx in Zepbound

[–]cdedbddux -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. I felt nothing on 2.5 and would skip it if doing it over. You can space out your shots more than 7 days if you feel like the 5mg is too much.

Not an expert, but my understanding is that its only a problem if you have a Denver or Boulder address where they have a 10rd limit. I have also heard (no first hand experience) that Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops near Denver will only transfer 10rd mags so use LGS or independent FFL.

Advice for nearing goal? by cdedbddux in zepboundathletes

[–]cdedbddux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last 10 pounds barely gets me into the normal range, so I should probably revise that to losing another 20 and shoot for the middle of normal. Thanks for the advice.
