Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

ISUCyclones2015
Anyone on them? Know friends on them?

I do think these are crazy (in a good way) drugs that has the power to change the world and fight an epidemic of diabetes and obesity, especially in the US.

Pricing is a concern of course but with more and more companies getting into the space, the competition will bring prices down much like Blood Pressure and Blood thinner medications did over the years.

If I ever qualify, I’d definitely consider it. My insurance has a bunch of hoops for those without diabetes.

Maybe one day nearly everyone just does a once a year injection to help regulate blood sugar.

High School Baseball/Softball Concession Stands

cyinne
My daughter is a rising junior, and her class has now taken over the baseball and softball concession stands as a fundraiser for prom and after-prom. My wife and I, along with another couple, are the lead concession managers.

We willl already have most of the standard items:
Water, Gatorade, soda, Bubblr, popcorn, candy, nachos, sunflower seeds, brats, hot dogs, burgers, walking tacos- I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things, but that’s the bulk of the menu.

What I’d love to hear from all of you is:
What are some unique or popular items you’ve seen at outdoor concession stands that people really liked?

We’d prefer items that are relatively low-maintenance and easy to prep/serve. Bonus points if they’re things we could pick up at Sam’s Club or Costco.

Thanks in advance for the ideas and advice!

Cell Phone Options

C
I've been with one of the major cell phone companies for a LOT of years. In reviewing our bill, we only use like 5 GB per month data but have to pay for unlimited usage - they don't offer an option. We could cut our monthly cell bill in half with one of the newer companies. We would need to find different insurance coverage, however. Have any of you switched to one of the low cost companies? What is your experience?

Friday Free Thread: Red or Blue Button?

WIBadger

Which Button?

  • Red Button

    Votes: 30 46.9%

  • Blue Button

    Votes: 34 53.1%
See comments…

This was a question that I saw going around the internet, and it's a modified trolley problem. Angie asked that I it as a Friday Free Thread since she's in a meeting this morning:

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button do you press?

The Beat Reporters: Donovan Davis commitment, Reliving 2002 Cy-Hawk Game, Campbell ESPN Article

Aiden Wyatt
Jake Brend, Rob Gray, and Ben Hutchens break down the impact of Donovan Davis’ commitment and what T.J. Otzelberger’s dominance in Wisconsin means. The guys dig into ESPN’s article on Matt Campbell and what could’ve happened if he took the Lions job in 2021. Then the show finishes by “spinning the wheel” to tell Hutchens old Iowa State stories.

I’m an introvert, do I need help?

clonedude
I’m a big time introvert…. is that okay??

Any kind of social gathering of any kind, and I’m just anxious and stressed out and would like to crawl into a hole and disappear. Even family gatherings too when I know everyone.

But then you see all these studies about how everyone needs social interaction, and being a loner is not healthy at all.

But I’m perfectly happy when I’m alone. I read somewhere that there’s a big difference between being alone, and being lonely. I’m definitely not lonely at all. Thoughts?

Welcome feedback on my recent TEDx talk

C
Recently, I had the opportunity to give a TEDx talk. It’s something I’ve been working toward for a while, and more importantly, something I’ve been thinking about for much longer.

The talk centers on a simple idea:
That we may have misunderstood what “calling” really is—and in doing so, we sometimes aim at the wrong things.

Here’s the link if you’d be open to watching it:

If you do take a few minutes to watch, I’d genuinely value your perspective. Not just whether you liked it—but what resonated, what didn’t, or what felt worth thinking more about.

And if it brings someone else to mind who might find it meaningful, feel free to pass it along.

Either way, I appreciate you.

Womens Tournament expands also

D
Not sure why they would do this. The women's tourney is already terrible since the top teams are so loaded and poor teams get destroyed by the top teams. Oh well. Guess I know the real reason. Money and they don't want to treat the women different. in my opinion they should have cut it down to around 48 teams.

ISU Away FB Game - Baylor

yler4cy
Hello CF,
Our group is planning on attending the away game this season in Waco. I see that ISU just pushed out their email for away game tickets and figured I would come here first for suggestions. It looks as if Baylor jams away fans up in the corner of the stadium. Does anybody know if the alumni association does anything and Waco and if so will they be selling tickets?

**** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

LLCoolCY
With the regular season ending time the transfer announcements are starting thought it was time to start the tread.

Early indications are a lot of the roster that can return will which should be a top 25 team. Still losing Tamin and Joshua means there are roster spots to fill and should be attractive to a couple of players that fit Cyclones MBB.

One thread to post and discuss potential additions to next years roster.
