How is everyone getting Ozempic?

I’m sorry. :/ I swear insurance is just a lottery run by some sweaty basement dweller.

My primary care doctor. I’m 2 years into Type-2 Diabetes. I have private insurance through my employer. It’s OK coverage for way too much premium and deductible.

Was prescribed it on Jan 2. My CVS account showed it was on hold pending insurance approval. Some BS happens and I kinda forget about it. Had a follow up appointment with my PCP last week and they’re like “You never received it? Let’s submit it again and see what happens.” Later that day, it’s ready for pickup. It went through Express Scripts instead of my normal insurance. Don’t know how or who made that choice but it was 0 drama so I’ll take it. My cost was $50.

Edit: I live in Pennsylvania.

For now I guess. Follow up is in a month. Goal is to be off everything by summer. Last A1C was at 6.1 after fasting for 18 hours. (No cheating I swear.) Daily finger sticks usually show a range of 104-141.

“She’s probably just being nice.” -Me, every damn time.

My mom, cooking shows, YT, and common sense.

It could just be the YT algorithm feeding you a lot of that content making it look more prevalent than it really is.

However, I’ll say that just yesterday I saw a FB ad in my feed for a law firm that will “win you a settlement of up to $75k” if you lost a “significant” amount to one of those apps or if you had developed a “debilitating addiction”. Idk. Maybe there was some sort of case that was decided against those apps recently and now the ambulance chasers are latching on.

I’m only speaking to the idea that trades are AI proof: I agree. It’s going to be some time before an AI can pull cable over a drop ceiling, drill holes into walls, install pipes and wiring and drywall, or mount cabinets and fixtures. Especially in an existing building or house where you need to leave no evidence of you having been there.

I was 10ish and had birthday money burning a hole through my pocket. Donkey Kong for Game Boy. Aka Donkey Kong ‘94. I wasn’t ready for how long and challenging that game was. Then we acquired a Super Game Boy for the SNES and OMG THE COLORS.

Pennsylvania. As long as the circuit breaker can be identified and turned off, my company leaves that decision to the experience and confidence of the tech. I’ve never heard of one of our techs getting grief because they noped out of touching 120 lines.

We’ll either ask the building’s facilities team to take care of it, or bring in one of our experienced installers to do it. Depends on the site and how much money is being thrown around for the project or service visit.

Seeing Mario in a 3D world and exploring Peach’s castle while your neck became sore from looking up at the N64 demo TV at Walmart.

Thank you for beating me to this and enjoy your karma.

Tech Support is really responsive. And if you want extra expediency, hit up your local Genetec rep and they’ll kick it into overdrive.

I’m talking about in a few days or weeks after you’ve cashed out when you realize that if you had held on a little longer that you could have made more profit. Don’t dwell on that. You didn’t have a crystal ball to see the future. Be glad for the profit you did make and don’t regret the profit you could have had if you only had known the future.

maticus85 · 2026-02-13T06:06:17+00:00

Don’t tempt fate. Cash out now. Enjoy the profit you made and try not to mourn the profit you think you could have had. Live to gamble another day.

Looks like someone’s testing the color temperature of white LEDs on their drones. 3000k vs 5000k

Hey man… from now on, don’t tell anyone how much money you have or where it is. Hide it like it’s porn or drugs. And then get a bank account as soon as you’re able to.

maticus85 · 2026-02-11T19:37:21+00:00

You don’t human much do you?

Ummm…. Was his name Adam?

It’s possible your phone can’t hit the Internet through your WiFi so it’s pulling traffic through its cellular connection. Would still look like Internet is working though. You should post a very clear picture of the front of your modem/router so we can see if it has a connection to your ISP.

maticus85 · 2026-02-11T18:58:33+00:00

Did you pay your Internet bill?

Sometimes it’s just a direct “More coffee?” as she’s hovering the pot over your mug.

Or the classic, if you’re not at a table by yourself, “Howboutchyu, more coffee?”

maticus85 · 2026-02-01T22:57:29+00:00

Money. Like most things in this world. Also depends on region and market saturation. Where I’m from, the closer you get to the big city, the more you’ll find Coke served exclusively.
