  2. Then the article should’ve adjusted for that and not listed events sequentially at 12:42, 2:14, 1:26 AM. Sloppy work, NPR.
  3. This timeline is wrong. It’s pretty irresponsible for NPR to make this mistake given the timing of the warnings are going to influence the perception of who is at fault. The mistake is highlighted below. NPR reports the post at 2:14 AM. The link shows the timestamp of 1:14 AM. The article describes events at 12:42, 2:14, 1:26. This confused me and led me to click on the link. Sloppy work, NPR. Link to X at “2:14 AM” timestamp shows it’s actually 1:14 AM
  4. I believe I posted the hartman snl clip in some thread somewhere but it’s, once again, appropriate here.
  5. We’re vacationing in maine in a couple of weeks. We’re staying in kennebunkport for a few days then driving up to camden. I’ve had oysters a number of different places but my standouts were a place in whistler and king elders pub in damriscotta maine. I’ve had damriscotta oysters in damriscotta, portand maine, and the hudson bay restaurant here in dallas. Damriscotta river has a number of oyster farms. I’m planning on stopping at Glidden Point oyster farms on the damriscotta river on our drive to camden. They have a seafood market on the river where various farmers bring in their oysters each day. You can order online as well, and they’ll ship them. I haven’t done this so I can’t speak to how well this works. https://www.gliddenpoint.com/
  6. Mrs GenXer’s ig feed has bern bombarded with oasis concert footage. The feed worked on us. We picked up tix to the pasadena show a few minutes ago. We got tix to the chicago show several weeks ago. This fall is looking up. 2 oasis shows, austin F1, father john misty, alabama shakes, garbage, stews, black rebel motorcycle club, lord huron and kevin morby, and probably a few others.
  7. Our soul. It cost us our soul.
  8. Hanging on my patio with my two dogs (avatar checks out), and this comes on my ig feed. Breaks my heart. I’ve always really bonded with dogs. They’re wonderful.
  9. We got a prison surrounded by alligators and performative wrestling on the lawn of the white house. This sounds familiar but I just can’t quite put my finger on it.
  10. Yeah. My anger at her stupidity got my wires crossed.
  11. I’m done having empathy for my fellow T1Ds. Die the slow uncomfortable rotting fruit death of hypoglycemia, you stupid motherfuckers. Insulin for me. None for thee.
  12. 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?
  13. This is where ai really shows its value
  14. 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.
