The kirkland signature tortilla chips with some kirkland signature mexican style shredded cheese on top toasted for a couple of minutes makes a great nacho snack.

Finally had the cookie... I can put away 4 slices of Costco cheese but that cookie is just sickeningly rich and doesn't pair with anything.

Take it up a notch, and chop some of that rotisserie chicken onto there. Or, if yer real trashy, a Kirkland signature Polish.

Mmm hotdog nacho style snacks

We keep them frozen, and use them with scrambled eggs. 30 seconds in the microwave to soften them a little, toss them in the skillet while breaking them up, then add some spinach. Once the spinach is ready, add some eggs and the Costco Mexican cheese blend, absolutely perfect. Also probably a couple days worth of sodium, but delicious.

I had to do this with a 3 year old LG OLED that started to die (a band of discoloration developed at the top). I forgot the warranty existed until I went to look at my old email from where I ordered it. I think ordering online helped streamline it since they sent a corresponding email directly from SquareTrade when I bought it saying I was already registered.

The claim was quite simple. There was some back and forth where I had to send pictures and a video of the TV, but in 3-4 days they cut me a check for the price of the latest LG OLED model and said keep the dying TV. They have some options where they send you a TV directly which confused me, but it's not mandatory. So now the old one is in the bedroom until the problem gets bad enough to dump it, and a brand new TV is in the living room.

They approved my claim with some photos in a couple of days, like you said, but offered a new replacement. The TVs are trash tier LEDs at 1/3 the cost of my original. Seems their MO is to low ball then you have to fight it. Now they said an expert would "manually" find a better replacement. I have to approve or deny that once received. I just want the refund so likely need to keep fighting.

I got the email offering a replacement as well, and was very mad so I called them up. However, my experience was when I called they immediately just offered the cash instead of the replacement before I could even explain OLED vs LCD like I was all hyped to do.

semaglutide cuts your risk of total death by a fifth, so you'd basically have to double total cancer rate for it not to be beneficial to your health

also 5% of all cancer is attributed to obesity, so i guess like, 2.1x

For tortilla chips, last time I made some layered dip I had it with those sweet potato corn crackers. They're actually just tortilla chips but labeled as crackers for some reason.

I personally prefer the multi-seed kind of tortilla chips over plain tortilla chips though.

There's nothing magical about it, it mimics hormones that make you feel full or sickeningly full, so your stomach empties more slowly and you eat less. If instead of taking it, someone locked you in a room and restricted your meals by the same amount, you'd be losing the same muscle.

If you don't seriously hit the weights and prioritize protein you're gonna be skinnyfat, and even then you're still going to lose some lean muscle mass when you're cutting calories.

These things like "lose all your muscle" or "oh you get ozempic face" are all like yeah, that's what happens when you're doing a starvation diet. You'd need to dial back the dose to avoid it, but it seems like even the default is really aggressive.

Yeah, I heard in my head that it's actually lost bone density, not muscle.

Get a tape worm going, and do something to leech the minerals out of your body (dead weight anyways), and enjoy the thinner, cooler looking you!

Having tried it before I wouldn’t call it being full more so just not thinking about food and even if you are hungry you don’t care to eat even if you smell something that would normally trigger it.

It’s kinda wild.

I went yesterday and got some stuff like the Fitcrunch bars, not realizing that the sale starts tomorrow. :cripes:

However, when I was checking out, the guy boxing my stuff up said "Hey, a bunch of stuff you have goes on sale soon. Make sure to bring back your receipt to get that money back!"

personally I’d still be cautious with a lot of the medication weight loss until we have a better grasp of the long term effects, several doctors I’ve talked to including my bariatric surgeon agree with that stance (post-surgery, I got the surgery right before this stuff started getting big). I think if you’re looking for a massive weight loss of like ~100lbs surgery is probably going to be the right option but it’d be good to have a moderate to small loss option around.

Anyway waiting for the new sale to start, I’m going to buy so many goddamn fitcrunch bars. I’d like to try the other flavors but they only ever seem to have the peanut butter ones at my Costco. Not that they’re bad!

My dad is in his 70s and diabetic, although is fairly good shape physically - he hikes and isn't overweight. Last year his doc put him on ozempic to help manage his blood sugar to give his kidneys a break from his other meds, I have never seen someone go downhill that quickly.

He suddenly couldn't eat anything. He felt nauseated after a few bites of any meal, and his stomach would stay full for 6+ hours after eating. He went from healthy, to unhealthy in about 2 months of that drug.

Makes me wonder how miserable all these celebs on it are.

I tried a couple different ones for quitting smoking, and they both gave me strange, and terrifying dreams that were more convincing than reality.

Sleeping with the patch on gives about a quarter to half the dream bending strength.

Getting a serious nicotine dependency not from smoking, dipping, or vaping, but by trying to dream harder. LoL
