Maybe stop eating food that gives you diarrhea. Nah... that's crazy. Forget it.

Yeah? She went on a diabetes drug to lose weight. She lost weight and dropped the drug. Then she gained it all back.

Nowhere in the article does it say she tried combining the drug with healthier diet and exercise, or mention either at all. Because the drug makes you not hungry. When she went off the drug, her appetite came back hard.

Diabetes management (and prediabetes) is more than stabbing yourself in the rear end once a week. If she's unlucky, she'll get to stab herself in the rear end several times a day (or get a pump and she can influence for Meditronic or Dexcom).

Both of my brothers and both of my parents are diabetic, so I've been hearing "combined with a healthy diet and exercise" my entire life. I'm just lucky, or weed is staving off type 2.

I misread it as increased binge eating on the drug and then even more off it.

I wonder if movie theaters are still selling off snack packs and giant bags of popcorn you can pick up for takeout like they were at the start of the pandemic. I saw some ads for it that seemed less gouging than say normal theater snack prices.

This + popcorn kernels + a silicon popcorn popping bowl for a microwave + coconut or vegetable oil will produce stuff that is identical to what you got at the movie theater for pennies a tub.

They're synthesizers. But he's suggesting they could have branched out into less niche tech stuff.

look teenage engineering make cool toys that are extremely expensive for what they are but are also well made. they're high-quality niche products.

it was more a comment how that guy is completely befuddled that a company like that can exist. why not lower standards, broaden product offerings, conquer the world??? how can you just do a small number of things well and make a comfortable, consisent profit that allows you to keep doing that? how can you be satisfied without exponential growth of your customer base? leaving money on the table! they must be idiots.

I assumed the link to the gameboy with a crank meant they already had branched out to even more niche electronics. What's also funny is that there are countless stories about companies dying from trying to grow too fast. Ranging from Worlds of wonder ramping up after 3 of the biggest holiday toys in the 80's and banking on always having the next teddy ruxpin/NES/Lazer Tag to Craftsman Tools dedicating so much of their production capacity to Sears that Sears was able to drive them out of business and buy them out.
