  • I play computer games at night - before I was on Mounjaro (okay, not Ozempic, but I guess it still counts) I would have loved a beer or two with that almost every night. Had one once or twice a week.

    Now… no more desire at all. Sometimes, when out in a restaurant I still enjoy a pint - and I also sometimes ejoy getting a bit drunk. Way less often than before.

    I feel liberated. I feel I make the choices now - before I was constantly fighting the cravings.



  • The pricing is absurd. In Denmark it’s like $80 for four weeks. in USA it starts at $1000. But medicine in USA is a whole other can of worms.

    In Germany it starts at $300 (2.5mg/week) and goes up to $540 (15mg/week). But then if you get a 15mg/week prescription and happen to only need 5mg/week (possibly supported by taking it more often than once a week), and also make use of the 1.3 (my guesstimate) extra doses that are in the syringe (but a bit difficult to extract) you pay like $120/month. This is what a proper gym costs in my area. And honestly, you safe on food, too. And on your weight watchers subscription!






  • I believe it was slackware. it was gifted to teenage me ca 1994, was on the CD of some magazine.

    I wanted to try it, so went dual boot. it (or I?) partitioned my 800MB hard disk into a 300MB and an 800MB partition. stupid young me thought this was great and I just gained 300MB. when I noticed date corruption, stupid young me started to copy over important data to the assumed good partition. things didn’t end well.

    I took a two year break from Linux afterwards 🤣





  • I’ve traveled a lot, and it’s pretty common to have to specify your place of residence on your entry card. i remember my guide book telling me to just pick some place you intend to stay from their accommodations section.

    but I have never been asked to document my full stay as long as you can show an exit ticket within the allowed time frame.

    once I went to Thailand, planned on traveling there and down to Singapore later - as the flight back from Singapore was later than my allowed time in Thailand I was forced to buy an early enough flight to Singapore on site. so yes, there are all kind of requirements in all kind of places - but they can be handled in much better ways than what this article is describing.
