It's been approved since 2021 just not available, much like Mounjaro is approved but only available in vial form. Mounjaro is the superior drug but since you have to inject via syringe less people are opting for it.

If you're on 1mg you will plateau, weight loss was a side effect of Ozempic, 2.5mg was the magic number for consistent weight loss. I heard they had people on 3mg during trials but the side effects outweighed the benefits.

I think you mean Wegovy, because I pay $220 for Ozempic at Costco, coworker pays $280 at SDM (Loblaws gotta take their cut)

Rybelsus the pill form of Ozempic is more expensive but I heard it's in the $400 range similar in price to Mounjaro.

You've gotta be on Wegovy

Edit: Also based on your replies below you're losing too much weight for it to be 1mg of Ozempic. Sure you lose some weight at 1mg but after a couple months you plateau and some of the side effects you describe are more inline with Wegovy. I've been on Ozempic 3 years and it affects my life absolutely zero at this point. It keeps my blood sugar in the optimal range and helps me avoid the snack food aisle but that's about it

Yea I'll stick with Arch for the AUR, so many times I've come across something I wanted to try and I see .tar.gz and I'm like ehhhh

9/10 it's on the AUR

VM, I run Virtualbox in full screen on a second monitor for my work stuff. Works great.

Oh well if everything you do on your kindle is above board then I imagine it's a great device. Having had my jailbroken kindle auto updated to the latest version without me noticing and with no way to revert it, it has left me rather salty about the device. It can still read epubs but it now only receives KFX files from Amazon which can't be de-drm'd anymore.

Kobo is where its at, Amazon has locked down their ecosystem to prevent piracy. Which also made my paperwhite garbage. Unless you're using Kindle Unlimited its not really worth going for kindle

ESET Endpoint, ESET used to be easy to pirate, box+Mara fix, then they patched that loophole and I was forced to subscribe to it (until I switched to Linux anyway) but I thought about putting eset on my windows VM and checked out the latest options for pirating it and I found out about ESET Endpoint which is self hosted antivirus for corporate environments. So we have pirates running their own Endpoint servers...virus definitions hosted by other pirates. That scared me a bit.

He said "arch based" my guess is he didn't want to say "I run manjaro btw"

Obviously, people said that if you had a newer card it was ok. I say nay nay.

Glad Weston allows it to run in X11 because every attempt to switch to wayland fulltime has been painful.

I'm in the same boat, but all the Win11 drama finally forced me to transition over. Now all my work specific applications run in a Windows 10 VM. I leave it running in the backround. I used one of the debloat PowerShell scripts, killed most of the background bullshit. All my windows apps are on it, it's the best of both worlds. It doesn't affect the performance of my machine at all.
