  1. The "iLet Bionic Pancreas" has been a game changer for me. At first, being connected to a pump made me feel like a tetherball, constantly aware of the device. But it quickly proved its worth. All I have to do is input an estimate of the carbs in my meal (usual, more, or less) and that’s it. The device takes care of the rest—administering, monitoring, and making any corrections. It automatically adjusts my dosage to keep me within range, adding or reducing insulin as needed. What makes it "bionic" is its ability to learn my needs over time and adapt. It communicates with my Dexcom G7 and makes all the dosing decisions based on my history—no carb counting, no correction factors, and no manual adjustments. The lone drawback -- and it is a significant one -- is cost. I was able to get in on a deal for the device through my endocrinologist, but the cost of the supplies is egregious.
  2. It's available, from beyond the grave.
  3. Tell me more. I had a chain snap a couple of weeks ago and it whipped me across the shin. Nothing was broken, but holy fuck I bled like a stuck pig. Stump is still there.
  4. So, when they need NIL money they rub one out?
  5. Perhaps. But it does say he didn't lock them down. Over the past three days, I must have heard a half-dozen times that Sharma's strongest connection through the recruiting process has developed with Courtney Morgan, Alabama's general manager, and how difficult it would be for Sharma to make the call to Morgan to tell Alabama "no thanks."
  6. There's a lurker here on Surly Horns who led the FBI investigation into the Byrd murder and received the Bureau's "Medal for Meritorious Achievement" for putting an airtight case together against the perpetrators. It's a hell of a story, but not mine to share.
  7. ^ This. Absolutely. Matt Galante spent countless hours working with Craig Biggio in Kissimmee when he switched to second base. While the rest of the team rushed out to make tee times, Galante and Biggio stayed on one of the back practice fields taking grounders and practicing turning double plays. They would go all afternoon. We'd grab lunch, return to the hotel to write, log tapes, edit stories, and satellite them back to Houston, then hustle back to the facility for the 6 p.m. live shot. More often than not they were wrapping up or had just left.
  8. Be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy on a fish... And I'm not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock.
  9. This video is not an introductory video; it is footage captured from the arresting officer's body camera.
  10. Maybe he's going to hire the OU softball coach to replace Pierce. Improve our baseball program and our softball program at the same time.
  11. 6'5" with the afro.
  12. Disregard. Tik Tok. They should ban it.
  13. Reports out there that Bruce Willis has passed away or is very close. Don't want to jinx it.
  14. The difference is that OJ wasn't calling the shots. Trump completely derailed his case and his attorneys' screwed up by indulging him. For instance, he insisted on denying the sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels happened whatsoever, and what ensued just hammered home that it was a lie.

  16. Just another reason that we prefer the frozen boundary waters!
  17. On this day in 1974 - 50 years ago! - Two female fans streak nude through the outfield during the seventh-inning stretch. The Cardinals then gave up three runs in the bottom of the seventh and the Astros beat them 4-1.
  18. Timmy, you ever seen a grown man beg?
  19. Biology/Biomedicine
  20. Well. It’s all over but the crying. My kiddo was capped at Texas, but did get into Univ of Chicago, Purdue, Washington Univ, Ohio State, and A&M. Go figure. Time for her to blaze her own trail.
  21. I was still the weekend sports producer at KTRK. My night off and I dropped everything, went to work, and watched the live satellite feed while the entire city melted down.
  22. I agree. It's ass, my dude. Turrrrible.
