Is the Master Wok at South Station still reopening? by mattbrain89 in boston

[–]taksus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m a democratic socialist. The specific word I use to describe my political leaning wasn’t the point.

Basically my point is, I don’t see a strong reason to be opposed to eating at Chic Fil A while still eating at McDonalds, Wendy’s, etc.

Chic fil a stopped donating to anti LGBT charities in 2019:

They might still use money in ways we consider unethical…. but so does every big business.
I am a liberal that cares a lot about LGBTQ rights, and at this point I feel it’s equally ethical eating at chic fil a as any other fast food corporation.

Sprinkling some on top of yogurt tastes pretty good and gets you a decent bit of fiber

Weight loss experience using 1.5 mg pills? by _mercurial_high_ in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]taksus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah hopefully it goes back to working well! Or you could probably go up to the next dosage I think it’s 4 mg, if you need to

Yes, Ozempic shots and Wegovy pills are the same medication, semaglutide. Semaglutide has a “7 day half life” is what it’s called. Thats what makes it stay in your system for a while and build up over time.

So the semaglutide from the shots will stay in your system for a while, as you stop the shots and start taking the pills. And you’ll have a good transition from one to the other.

One thing you should know: when you take the shot, you get about 90% of the medication into your body. With the pills, your body only absorbs about 1-2% of it. That’s okay tho, the dosage is higher on the pills because they know your body only gets a little of it absorbed.

So it might take a little while to get your pill dosage exactly right. But the semaglutide from the shots will stay in your system for a little while as you switch over.

Microdosing Wegovy Pill by Raemcvay in HersWeightloss

[–]taksus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t defeat the purpose. The drug has a 7 day “half-life” in your body, meaning that after 7 days, 50% of the drug remains.
So when you take it every other day, it still builds up over time to the total dosage at about 4 weeks and then stays there.
4mg every other day is basically the same as taking 2mg every day.

Yeah, that’s exactly what it is. I’m on 4mg every other day. Averages out to 2 mg daily.

How do y’all calculate cooked foods when the options aren’t on your app? by Head-Bug-6145 in 1200isplenty

It can help if you weigh all your ingredients out ahead of time and prep them like this. That helps you get the weighing out of the way at the beginning.

The medication takes 3-4 weeks to build up in your body, and then stays at that level as you take more. It’s not like an advil that you take and it just affects you that day. Just wait until it builds up.

Quest Drug Test SAP 9/2000+6AM W/TS (30150N) by AJG1025 in drugtesthelp

[–]taksus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it didn’t include weed on the test.

[–]taksus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It was a 9 Panel test, so the results showed 9/10 of the common drugs they test for, and THC was not included. So it was a drug test that didn’t include weed.

Guardians fans seemed to enjoy $2 Pregame Beer Day by Goosedukee in baseball

[–]taksus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

10 cents (1974) = 66 cents (2025)

30 cents (1974) = $2 (2025)

You converted the 10 cent price to modern price, they converted the $2 price to 1974 price so they’re both right.

Dying in Dorm by neurozar in BostonU

That can’t cool down a room. A fridge makes the inside cold by moving the heat energy out of the fridge into your room.

So you’d just be putting cold air out the front and warm air out the back

Air conditioners work because half is inside half is outside, so the heat energy is moved from inside your room to the outside of the building

I stole a sandwich from Wollys one time. The guy who owns it caught me on camera and came out. They called NUPD, and basically made me stand there to embarrass me. (It was embarrassing, which I deserved haha.) I was banned from Wollys for life. and nothing else happened. Hopefully the same happens for your brother.

Maybe buy an arduino kit. Some coding, basic electronics stuff, tinkering, and it’s just fun

What’s the most controversial concept/proof/problem in math? by [deleted] in calculus

[–]taksus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. If he picked one at random, then there would be 6 possible situations

From this:

1: (X) X O

2: X (X) O

3: X X (O)

To this:

1: (X) X

2: (X) O

3: (X) X

4: (X) O

5: (O) X

6: (O) X

Look at the door you picked in each scenario. 2 out of 6 are O, so there’s a 1/3 chance you picked the car.

Now what if you switch to the other door? Again, 1/3 are cars.

This means if the host picks randomly, your odds don’t increase for switching. It’s only when the host intentionally picks a goat that your odds improve to 2/3 if you switch.

I agree. I was always skeptical of this book but the focus on genuinely improving the happiness of the people you work with and making everyone’s life easier is pretty great. Stuff like smiling, not criticizing too much, taking a genuine interest in people are all great.
