It’s going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.

Most people I’ve talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.

I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.

China will figure this out.

I tried several other app recently put of curiosity and none come close to Sync for usability or aesthetic appeal. Personal preference, of course, but I’m going to stick with this app.

I would like to add “please” to this.

If anyone did, I’d say it was the AG at the time. His father basically got Epstein started and there’s no way he wasn’t thinking about all the dirty laundry that was going to be aired.

Allegedly, and so forth.

Sure

It’s just trolling. Next magas will say “he’s scared of Trump” and so on.

Modeling themselves after Tolkien where magic is only used in the direst of circumstances, maybe?

UHC systems sometimes get overloaded and lead to overworked doctors and nurses making errors, too. I am Canadian and the provincial government where I live is very conservative. Their goal is to wreck the public system so people are ok with increasing privatization. It’s working.

So progressive.

You are correct and I’m not aware of anyone I know on the drugs receiving this type of therapy. This is in stark contrast to gastric bypass surgery where in Canada you wait a year, receive counseling before and after the surgery and people still often end up back where they started a couple years later despite it probably being much harder on them physically than cessation of a drug. You can see why I am concerned.

I have an ileostomy (like a colostomy). When I first got it, I could only eat small amounts of food. I lost 60 lbs. If was wondeful. I’d eat small meals forever and reach my healthy weight.

Well, a few months later my body could easily tolerate more. And I ate more. Gradually at first then more. It wasn’t more than six months before I was back to my weight before the operation.

A few months of imposed restriction did not alter a lifetime of habit.

I thought this was something I did wrong and researched it. Turns out it’s how the majority of people behave.

That is my thing. As soon as they stop, the habit is still there but the inhibition will be gone (I say this as a lifelong person who has issues with over eating).

How about two eggs, a tortilla, some hot sauce, and a banana?

These have outcomes that may not be ideal and the results do not persist if you stop taking them.

If know a lot of people on these. A good percentage of them are using it as a cheat code to continue their existing patterns. A couple have used it to assist in behavior modification. They seem to have better outcomes.

We’ll see how people are doing in the long run.

The recipe for weight loss is simple. Changing a lifetime of behavior is not. I speak from experience.

I think these drugs are the new gastric bypass surgery. For some they will see results but they will go back to their preferences before long. For a smaller group, long term behavior change will occur.

Fingers crossed that there are no longer term health problems from these because so many people I know are on them.

I think the next generation of these will be better…

Agreed

The back up had the same data that caused the app to crash before.

Did you try just logging in to the fresh install?

I think if you are in a community it searches the community, if you are in Subscribed it searches subscribed, and if you are in your local instance… You get the idea.

Not sure if the depends on the app, etc.

I can’t speak for the Dev but I am guessing they have other things on the go. Releasing this app as quickly as they did and following up with subsequent releases for bugs and quality of life features probably meant neglecting anything else that wasn’t of major importance.

They are probably getting back on track with that stuff?

I have a core group of friends that I grew up with and we all loved role playing games. After using every gaming system you could (late 80s) we just knew how it worked. We’d play any scenario or setting with our common understanding a couple d10 and some notes for inventory and special abilities (or disabilities). So much fun. :)
