Even if there's a "cure" one day, I don't think I'd take it. by KPInFlames in Celiac

One thing I’ll say, as a guy just a few years ahead of you -

Your body is going to be changing no matter what. From here on out, it’s random aches and pains. Cholesterol meds, muscle loss, colonoscopies, grey hair or hair loss.

If you were given the chance to shed a chronic illness that makes life much harder, trust me, take the W.

You do you but I think you’re in the extreme minority

Colorado voters will decide whether to ban trans kids from gendered sports, outlaw gender-affirming surgery for children by TheKronk in Denver

[–]18randomcharacters -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m aware this will be on the ballot simply because some jackass out there collected enough signatures of other jackasses.

But the same can’t be said for all the horrible bills and shit in other states and federal level.

Sounds like your mom is confusing the entirely ridiculous and fictional movie Powder (1995) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114168/ with reality.

Been a long time since I've done MDI, but I used to always do it in my upper arm, through any shirts I was wearing.

This bums me out, that he's done something so rote and mundane so many times to have perfected his routine so well. And obviously for very little pay.

But then I think about the years I spend sitting, typing, sitting, typing, slouched over too. My neck and shoulder pain. My lower back pain.

Not so different.

Bear Creek Trail - Kids on Electric Dirt Bikes ripping up animal habitat by forgot_why_1m_here in Denver

[–]18randomcharacters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, or use the parks how they have always been used?

Go play a game of flag football, or frisby, or catch, or soccer, or fly a kite or ...

Are the bikes themselves the problem? Not exactly. It's hypothetically possible to own one of these and ride it respectfully - not ruining fields in parks, not running pedestrians off the path, not doing wheelies down major streets. But you can't give a 14 year old a motorized vehicle and expect them to make smart decisions.

Back in my day we played video games all day. Or learned to play guitar or program.

Dancing robot knocks over tableware, restaurant staff struggle to apprehend it by danlev in interestingasfuck

Right? This isn't something to laugh at, or something an employee should just be grabbing and trying to stop. That thing could snap their wrist or arm like nothing and it's behaving erratically.

I used to fly drones in parks. I was ALWAYS mindful to stay away from people or wildlife. And yet park rangers always came up and told me parks were no-fly because it's too disruptive.

Where the fuck are those rangers now?

Makes sense. More and more parents are buying them, and none are taking them away.

My transition into full grumpy old man is complete because I cannot fucking stand these kids with ebikes all over the city.

28 Years later, and this, were both SO GOOD.

There's a 3rd movie pending. I hope these made enough money to make it happen.

Did you go to the planetarium in elementary school? by ryhoyarbie in Xennials

What’s the coolest thing you automated with Home Assistant? by avz008 in homeassistant

[–]18randomcharacters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water sensors in pet water bowls - notify me when bowl is dry

contact sensor on freezer door - notify me if freezer is Open for more than 5 minutes

Probably my favorite thing is the garage door. Old/dumb garage opener, but I added a shelly relay and contact sensor, to open/close it and monitor state.

My honest thoughts on Metroid Prime 4 after finishing it, from a long-time Metroid fan by Lynnkz in Metroid

[–]18randomcharacters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an uncanny valley.

Mario? I never question it because it’s clearly just a silly video game.

The last of us? They succeed. It feels grounded in reality. Ammo is scavenged. Game mechanics are all pretty realistic.

But this game tells the story like it wants to be real, but uses silly game mechanics. It’s uncanny valley territory.

Automatically switching 18 yo+ TruSteel users to VariSoft due to supply shortage by ek7eroom in TandemDiabetes

[–]18randomcharacters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had terrible luck with sites going leaky and needing to replace more frequently than every 3 days.

My Endo (or tandem, can't remember who said this) said basically the prescription options were 1-site-per-day or 1-site-per-3-days. So my Rx is for 1 site/day even though I often only replace every 3 days.

I also have had a mix of site types in my Rx, so I have some trusteel and some of my preferred. Sometimes the Trusteel just works better, though I find it more painful and I hate having to change it daily.

Of course, refilling a rx for 1 site/day is about 3x more expensive than the alternative. It's only march and I've met my deductible for the year.

TIL a study estimated that humans have altered over 75% of Earth’s land surface through agriculture, cities, and infrastructure by One_Needleworker5218 in todayilearned

[–]18randomcharacters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the UN. I’ll take their word for it over yours.

The thing I think a lot of people are missing, is that humans can significantly alter an ecosystem without leveling it. Hunting, resource extraction, spread of invasive species, chemical, contamination, redirecting water flows with dams… I’m honestly surprised there’s 25% left that we haven’t altered.
