Those commercials are about to stop interesting enough. They were only able to be on market due to the main drugs being in a shortage, which allows special pharmacies (compounders) to make knock off versions without going through the whole process the main drug did and bypassing patents.

The main drugs are now no longer in shortage, so in a few months, these compounders will not be allowed to sell those drugs.

My understanding too is that these pills work alongside lifestyle changes. They make it a bit easier to make the lifestyle changes in part by helping control appetite. But if you don't implement the lifestyle changes while taking them, you'll just put the weight back on when you stop.

This comment is from a random guy on the internet familiar with some patient support programs that help people on these meds make those changes, so I would love corrected if I'm understanding this wrong.

There's no guarantee you can draw a circle through the bottom of the four legs of a table (opposite legs can be off in the same direction). Also, most floors are not perfectly flat, therefore you can't assume the floor is at one elevation.

His model actually accounts for whether polls were taken before or after an event, and raises and lowers their impact and error margin based on that.

In this particular case, OP said none of the others met their needs. I would like to know what new functionality this one has to know if it's something I'm interested in or not. It's not a critique - it's helping me understand if I want to check it out or not.

Escape from Tarkov. Yeah, I'll be dead shortly.

I bought the official dock and have struggled a bit with it. It sometimes doesn't recognize my TV and has other connectivity issues that seem to only be solved by repeatedly restarting it. I had an extra HooToo adapter lying around at work and holy crap that thing is such an awesome adapter for cheap that connects to the TV or my monitors and peripherals so easy and I've never had issues.

The insurance is based on the cost to rebuild the home, which has also drastically gone up, so it makes sense that it has risen too

The expression you can't outrun your fork has hit me hard. I'm up 30lbs since I started running a decade ago, some of it's muscle, but most is I just need to eat better.

Vast majority don't, but I found after awhile that my favorite does (Ale8). That was on me - it's clearly marked.
