A Dragon 32 from the BASIC manual that shipped with it. This was in 1982. My parents had bought me the machine, which was fortunately blessed with a great keyboard, but it had almost no games for it, and no shops stocked them. So I made my own using the book.

"and lifestyle intervention". You're supposed to use the drugs to help you get healthy, then stay healthy yourself once you've re-set.

Yes, people will probably have to bounce on and off them, but that's not the same as a lifelong addiction.

Not sure what your beef is, they work, they're helping millions get healthier and live longer.

I agree, which is why most people aren't just taking the drug. They're using the drug to help improve overall health, from better eating, reduced obesity related issues (joints/sleep/metabolism) and are able to start getting healthier. It's not a magic bullet, but it's a significant leg up.

The implication being most overweight people are lazy and impulsive. This is totally broken, there are factors that make some people more inclined to put in weight and what these drugs demonstrate is that our environment of unlimited and manufactured food breaks the normal mechanisms keeping people in a healthy weight. These drugs aren't a magic bullet, what you're able to do on them is exercise the control that many people who don't struggle with their weight can do every day.

My very basic understanding is you customise the mRNA payload towards the immune system targetting the mutating cells that have caused cancer in a patient (after the cancer material has been surgically removed). This prevents the cancer from re-occuring.

It keeps your history on segments and rides for years. Really good for that in fact.

Plus the cocktails of SARMS and other experimental / unapproved drugs that are circulating currently. And bodybuilder test doses are nothing close to HRT Testosterone from doctors.

They are secretive about taking drugs though, because they're things like unsafe doses of anabolic or 'not for human consumption' experimental or substances intended for animals.
