I'm really glad they have several ways to communicate. You don't need a license to use a walkie-talkie, along with whistles that's a fantastic backup. While it's easy to listen in, the range in a city is only around a mile. Given the sprawl of the Twin Cities, there's no way they could pick up everyone.

Wow, I didn't realize how big of a span the pricing covers. I paid $600 two years ago for mixed cord half madrona (local hardwood) and half pine. The source of the wood is what the firefighters cut down in the local national forests, so it's not like they're running a tree farm or something.

They were first approved for diabetes, and is described as a medication that lowers blood sugar for diabetes, but suppresses appetite for folks who take it for weight loss. I was on Ozempic for almost a decade to control my chronic hypoglycemia, and it did a decent job of that with the help of some other medications.
There’s not a switch you can flip to make it do one thing for some people and something else for others based on the intention of a doctor. If appetite suppression alone were enough to cause weight loss, there would not be overweight smokers or coffee drinkers.
