Ozempic (Semaglutide) - What's the Geek Consensus?
MTSkiBum replied to KSB2424's topic in The Geek Club
Amazing drug, I think it will be prescribed much more in the future than now. The side effects are well known and glp-1's have been on the market for 20 years for diabetes. The only thing that is new is using them for weight loss. There is a slight cancer risk they are studying but it is difficult because being overweight is also a cancer risk. The studies performed so far have been inconclusive. Practically all drugs have side effects it is just the pros outweigh the cons. -
It seems like a decent number of people that believe that gun restrictions should not be strengthened because of the Constitution also believe that it is ok to keep an entire religion from immigrating to our country even though that is also a constitutionally protected right.

https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow GDP dropping this fast is not a good sign. Latest estimate: -2.8 percent — March 03, 2025 The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2025 is -2.8 percent on March 3, down from -1.5 percent on February 28. After this morning’s releases from the US Census Bureau and the Institute for Supply Management, the nowcast of first-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and real private fixed investment growth fell from 1.3 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively, to 0.0 percent and 0.1 percent.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully it can heal enough on it's own so it can get back close to normal.

I hate the project, waste of money but this project started months ago. The blame should not go to any president, but if it did go to one then Biden is who need to blamed for wasting government money on this project. Edit: And a link to 10 months ago. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openai-plot-100-billion-stargate-ai-supercomputer

I need to get the flu vaccine this week, we are starting to peak in Texas according to the maps.

Does not solve the problem. The main problem is that the largest search engine is also the largest distributor/seller of ads. They need to force Google to sell either the ad business or the search engine, not the browser.

There are layoffs in my industry and budget will be cut further next year. I am going to lose a developer at end of year unless something changes
-
I paid for this year and next.

I will pay tomorrow. Sorry, was busy and then sick with something the kids brought home. I was just lucky I managed to set most my lineups.

I checked all my pms again and did not see it. They were probably full and I just delete oldest first. Can you please resend.

8 hour timer only works if nights and weekends are paused for longer. I prefer a 12 hour draft timer with pausing only midnight to 6 and no additional weekend pausing. I also think if someone has vacation planned far enough in advance then the start date can be moved with a 3/4 majority.

I have to work one more hour, sucks I know. Send trade offers or will pick after I give this presentation.
-
I would rather wait 30 minutes to an hour to wait and see if an offer comes in.

I texted him to let him know he was on the clock.

And I still don't know where to pay
-
I still don't think I have paid.

I am fine giving continual time. We should not have started the draft until everyone was signed in and paid. This has not soured me on the league, and I hope @devilwoman changes her mind during the season.

Are human drivers as an occupation going to go extinct?
MTSkiBum replied to nobody's topic in The Geek Club
I agree, but that is a long way in the future. You have to get to the point where automated driving vehicles are the majority of vehicles and then wait 20 years for all of the regular driving cars to wear out and be replaced. What you are forecasting is at least 30 years out it sounds like. -
The short height of most asians was related to poor diet, the newer generations are all quite a bit taller than their parents. Also the basketball players are still taller than average over there. Below is the link to the team that won the league last year where this is taking off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busan_KCC_Egis

We should make sure all owners are aware the draft is starting, before the draft starts. I had no idea the draft was going to start, i expected you to wait for all payments and the start date of the draft to be pushed back to be honest. I would have sent out more trade offers. I suggest we give @taco breath enough time to login to the site, take care of everything, and then make his own draft pick. We are not in a rush at this point in the season.

I was busy and had no idea the draft started. I think we should give him time.
