I dont know much about BW as a person but what an absolute icon he was to me as a kid. Its sad to hear about his condition but encouraging that it is being used to raise awareness.
I'd rather drive 18 hours than fly three hours. Mostly because the three hour flight is really more like six to nine hours because of getting to and from the airport, security, delays, etc.
The worst part about airlines isn't the actual flying. That's safe and just as magical as the first time I flew in a plane when I was a kid. I still say "WOW!" out loud when we climb up through the cloud layer to that brilliant sunshine and perfect blue sky.
It's all the parts except for moving through the air that suck. The seats, the other passengers, the airports, the fees, security probes, waiting in lines, uncomfortable and expensive terminals.
They took an amazing, magical experience that was a dream for thousands of years and enshittified it.
Adding on too, the pandemic-era increase in the airport enshittification experience.
Airports have restaurants and services, then the pandemic starts, and of course, a whole bunch of them close. Now a few years have passed, those services have more limited hours, and some never came back. It is much more difficult (and of course, expensive) to have access to services in airports than pre-2020. I’ve been through several hubs recently and it’s just flabbergasting how terrible it is to even try and find something basic like food.
Airline passengers are a captive audience trapped in an airport, especially during connecting flights. Airlines/airports should bear the cost of ensuring services are available any time flights are. They should bear the cost of keeping restaurants open later than 5PM. A quantity of airport services matching the passenger load should be available at flight times in respective terminals.
It’s easy to figure out, they know the manifests and schedules.
They should also have some sort of fallback process in place for when flights get trapped overnight in airports to take care of the passengers. It doesn’t need to be a free service, but at least doing something like: on call employees come in to run shops so passengers can buy goods.
Only if you give the car permission. My phone (Android) has a popup when I connect to a car, asking if I want to give permission to read my text messages. I usually answer no.
I wonder if this interacts with Android Auto. AA essentially uses your car’s speakers and screen as peripherals for your phone, so hopefully it’s sandboxed out of the car’s systems (except then it’s Google reading your messages).
I just turn the phone on silent. In fact silent is the default mode. To many spammers. There is nothing important enough in my life that requires immediate attention. Might change if I find a woman and get kids but not likely.
That’s not what this is about. This is about old uncirculated bills. There’s a lot of old money that is worth more than face value. Not sure why this is making news.
That’s what I’m saying. Any old bill will be worth good money. Just because it’s a $2 bill doesn’t mean it’s worth more, it has to be old and in good condition too.
I would, at the very least, have all judges and politicians retire once they reach the expected lifespan for their demographic. Men born in your birth year have a life expectancy of 68? You retire by 68. A life expectancy of 84? You retire by 84.
We have age limits that state how old you need to be to run for office, I see the logic in setting limits. It’s just hard because a 75 year old can seem like they’re about to curl over and die or they can be just as sharp as a 55 year old. On one hand, with age they have a ton of knowledge and experience, on the other, their cohort is rapidly dwindling and their ability to relate to the shared experience of younger cohorts is deminished. Ultimately for me, officials that have to run for reelection i think we should let the voters decide if that person is fit, but for judges with lifetime appointments we need to have some sort of cut off.
What disqualifies him for being a viable sheriff isn't that he's a ratfucker. It's because he couldn't get any of his fellow ratfuck deputies to do his dirty work for him.
Between the ADHD medication wreaking havoc with my hunger signals and the non-diabetic hypoglycemia causing me to go from "not hungry" to "dying of a sugar crash," the Wegovy gave me actual satiety for the first time in my life, and evened out the crashes.
I'm a big fan of more options along these lines, for whoever they might save.
Unfortunately people gain the weight back once they stop taking the drug if there is no lifestyle change which there often is not. A guy I know owned a good chunk of Sequence which essentially fast tracked access to Wegovy through telehealth and working with insurance companies. He was pushing to partner with a company that could provide that lifestyle change info so that people could keep off the weight when they stop using it. Weight Watchers bought them so hopefully they can help provide that lifestyle change.
So far the side effects of Wegovy are fairly standard but it has only been around for 10 years and widely studied for an even shorter period since it has only been on the market for a couple years.
I know that it's a lifelong drug. I don't care. I'll take it. Especially because of the evened out crashes! Not having a sugar high or a sugar low is so wonderful for someone who has spent 37 years enslaved to snacks.
Okay so everyone is different but I just found out my non-diabetic hypoglycemia was almost entirly caused by my stimulant ADHD medication. I had been taking it for 12+ years and always thought the hypoglycemia was just how my body was, but it has been night and day. It was very hard to move away the the meds but but I know EXACTLY what you mean by the sudden “dying of sugar crash”. Obviously the ADHD still needs treat but I will be moving to a non-stimulant for treatment.
I'm upvoting you and I'm going to share your story with others but unfortunately I know this isn't the case with me, as I was adult diagnosis ADHD and dealt with the hypoglycemia since elementary school. I only tried stimulant medication for the first time two years ago.
But I wonder if any studies have been done about frequency of ADHD and hypoglycemia comorbidities! Seems promising!
