Twitter is going through some things.

What do you think of theory that Elon bought it to burn it to the ground and take a huge loss so he doesn't have to pay his unpaid taxes?

Nonsense.

Musk recently told everyone they need to work mega hours for Twitter 2.0...or they can quit and leave with 3 months salary.

Looks like most are opting to quit! 

Man, this guy is an idiot.

I also LOL @ "“Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”   Musk has been anything but exceptional since taking over Twitter.

Rumour has it there are only 238 people left at Twitter HQ,  Elon is scrambling to hire people back.
Oh yeah, and everyone is locked out of the office until Monday, key cards don't work.

Ya!!  Apparently ~75% of the approx. 3,000 people left decided to take the 3month severance and hit the road!

I find that number a bit hard to believe. Anyone on an H-1B visa can't just quit and I suspect there are a bunch of those at Twitter.

From the pics I've seen, they are all that's left.

[OliverD]

Looks like there's about 300 people on H-1Bs there. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7z5px/twitter-employees-on-visas-cant-just-quit

Interesting, possibly a drug treatment for obesity that actually works.

I'm on it. Started my 3rd week yesterday.

 I've been gaining weight on a low calorie diet since my thyroid went to hell.

We're trying to see if this will  help with boosting metabolism.

I must say, the pen/drug delivery unit is impressively designed. I've NEVER had to inject myself and this is super, super easy.

Is it the same or similar to an insulin pen?

I haven't the slightest!! 

It's a little pen with a clear sight window. You remove the end cap and screw on the needle. It comes with 6 needles. Remove 2 safety caps on needle.

You rotate dial to prime (only necessary for first time using a new pen). Push button on end. Device is primed.

Now rotate dial to dosage until you see dosage in white sight window. Gently push needle onto body. Push trigger button until you hear click. Count to 5. Done.

Put safety cap on needle and unscrew needle to dispose.

Not sure how similar to insulin this is?

My curiosity did get the better of me and I tried to measure the needle. I got .2mm (.008") It's a tiny thing!!

[PJungnitsch]

Interesting. Sounds way better than using a regular needle. I was giving myself injections into my belly fat old school for a year or so, and it was definitely not the highlight of my week

Yea, that's where I'm doing it.

But the needle is so tiny and is only a subcutaneous injection I can't feel a thing

So that’s what that drug is for.  I kept seeing the ads on TV and just assumed it was sex health related.  You’ll have to let us know if it works for you or not.

Well "Ozempic" is technically for Type 2 diabetes.  But they found that those using it lost substantial amount of weight. 

So they made a higher dose version called "Wegovy" (1mg vs 2mg) for weight loss.  Same ingredient.

I'm not morbidly obese or anything, so we're staying with a low dose.

We'll see how it works.  Though I'm sure I won't see anything for awhile since we're easing into the full dose.  Will be 12-16 weeks until I'm at the full dose.

Yep, exactly like an insulin pen. Hope this works out for you.

^^We'll see!!

If it doesn't I guess I'm OK with being a fat .
