Wearables in less than 4 years
Wearables have been a tremendous thing for type 1 diabetics. They’re expensive without health insurance and have a lifespan of only 2 weeks.As a T1D, the pancreas is defective and does not produce insulin; you have to inject it. The question is: how much insulin do I need?
The traditional solution is to puncture your finger tops with a blade, squeeze a drop of blood on a test strip, put the test strip into a small device, and the device reports your blood sugar. That’s a lot of gear to carry around all the time and your fingertips get worn badly after 3-4 tests everyday over the years. 30 years in my case.
The wearable solution is to attach a device to your tricep area that pairs with an app on your phone. I can open the app and get my blood sugar at any time. It can send me alerts if I’m at risk of low blood sugar. It can show me day over day trends using graphs and charts. I discovered I have a thing called the “dawn effect” when my blood sugar is normal overnight and starts rising when it’s morning even though I haven’t eaten anything.
A manual test 3-4 times a day simply can’t do any of this.
There are drawbacks: it’s expensive if your health insurance doesn’t cover it, the device has a lifespan of only two weeks, the adhesive makes my arm break out in a rash so I spray some allergy spray on the skin before adhering the device, it’s too easy to bump off doing normal stuff.

Try as they might they can never get back the feeling of an 80s arcade. There's no Rock-Afire Explosion. There's no more tokens. There's a few places here in DFW called Freeplay that scratch that itch with old arcade games. As a kid, I wanted nothing more than $20 in tokens and that could last me a few hours at Putt-Putt or Aladdin's Castle. Now when I play these games at a place where you pay a set fee and everything is free play, it's a lot easier to just get bored quickly with a game and walk away mid-game. At least Freeplay has decent food and beers.
I ain’t walking away until I get my three characters on that leaderboard.I showed all those yale punks up in new haven how genX does it at barcade.

Once upon a time there was a streamer who made mad cash streaming…
He didn’t understand federal taxes. At all. Not even a little bit.
Lacy the streamer likes money. Lacy the streamer makes money. Good for him.
Lacy the streamer does not like the government taking his money. Donnie2Dolls gets his support because money.
It’s actually impossible to explain to Lacy the streamer that it’s D2D’s tax code. Trying to explain it to your dog would achieve the same level of success.
Lacy orders a new exhaust system. Streaming happens.

Too on the nose. I vote fake news.
That post may be fake but there’s likely 10,000+ people that are living that reality right now.T1D here with retinopathy. I have nightmares about losing my vision. It’s going to happen. It’s a question of when.
A T1D girl I went to high school with lost her vision in her twenties and died at 30.

Exactly. I see no epiphanies happening among Trump voters like these memes present. Medicaid cuts haven't happened yet, so no one is feeling the pain. The Trump voters I know are happy with how he's running things, are fully convinced we're in the start of his promised Golden age and remain relieved that Kamala didn't win. So I question whether anything in this thread that is presented as regret is real or indicative of any real movement in the minds of his voters.
I don’t see this at all. We must be in different industries.
I hear comments about how it’s impossible to plan with tariffs looming/shifting. I’ve heard this directly from our CEO and from a guy several offices over that was walking around and promoting tucker carlson and joe rogan.
The backlash about selling public lands was heard by congress and pulled out of BBB. This doesn’t happen if everyone is pleased with everything.

Let’s check in on those proactive fire prevention measures in oklahoma
New fire prevention measures being considered based on previous recommendations from the Finns.
Make Rakes Great Again!
Live look at gov stitt’s reaction from his farmhouse to trump administration’s denial for funding request.“I’m usually on the side of my state”. That’s some exemplary representation right there, folks.
And how did the people of moore oklahoma vote for their congressional representatives?
No worries though. Moore hasn’t been hit a third time by an EF5 tornado. -

15 minutes ago, Biff Tannen said:To expound on this, people shouldn’t get a pass for being stupid and making stupid decisions. Not only stupid decisions, but ones that actively hurt other people. It’s not ok. They should be shamed. Maybe eventually forgiven if they change, but not just an immediate “it’s ok, you didn’t know” and now everything is good. This is serious shit.
They can only be absolved through public contrition.1) A full unmistakable admission of their stupidity on social media
2) Attendance at a minimum of five protests per year through 2028 carrying a sign that says
I voted for trump
I was wrong
Protest attendance must be videoed and posted to social media so that they can be reminded of it when foxnews cranks up their misinformation campaign in Sept 2026 and Sept 2028
Anything less is unacceptable and just pathetic impotent lip service.
Here’s an acceptable submission for #1

How is it that conservatives can be perfectly okay with unidentified masked goons disappearing brown people without due process when they lost their collective shit over perceived lawless government overreach and abuse with Cliven Bundy, Ruby Ridge and Waco?
Because republicans are disingenuous cunts.
It’s in their DNA. I recognized this immediately when I moved to dallas in the early 90’s. Always talking free market while at the same time the wright amendment existed.

There should be an SNL skit where Trump orders the strike and everyone in the war room starts pantomiming an air attack on Iran. Running around with their arms spread like wings and making whooshing sounds while others act out explosions and scream “Mercy, Trump! Mercy!” Then JD Vance speaks up to say, “Mr President. Through your daring leadership, you have completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program and ushered in a golden age of Middle East peace.”
Tulsi Gabbard raises her hand and says, “Wait… we are getting intelligence reports that we may n…”. JD cuts her off “SHUT THE FUCK UP, TULSI!!! YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!!”
Needs an ending.

I’m actively rooting for irma’s demise
No pronouns. No healthcare. You chose your priority. Eat shit, irma.
As a T1D, I literally could not interview that moron without bringing her to tears as a result of her own stupidity.
And how did their representative, david valadao vote on BBB?
