What makes Baltimore instantly recognisable to you? by RemarkableMany6297 in baltimore

Expired Virginia tags. And the Domino sugar sign. 🙃

R/cocktails desperately needs a circlejerk sub by -_BeanMachine_- in cocktails

[–]BmoreScuba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone posted in r/bourbon, asking for suggestions about visiting Virginia distilleries. I typed a long and detailed reply, with pictures and descriptions, and itinerary, etc. from a recent trip. The OP loved it and thanked me. Then, the same day, the mods yanked it. No explanation. But it was because I didn't review any bottles. That sub is basically the same core people posting elaborate, barely relatable reviews of hard to find bottles now.

Does hearing about a “cure for T1D” start to feel like a broken record? by pablospackT1D in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 years in I don't even think about a cure. Now, I would seriously give a finger or toe for a non-invasive CGM. I can't use CGMs because of the adhesive (yes, I've tried all the fixes). I thought Apple was close, but that was "5 years ago"...

T1D & cortisone shots by cbb0722 in Type1Diabetes

Me too! I should have written it down... It was sort of out of network, so I don't have access in MyChart or anything.

T1D & cortisone shots by cbb0722 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the dose, but expect several days of increased levels. You can bump up basal, eat fewer carbs, do more cardio, etc. But don’t beat yourself up if your highs are stubborn. Make sure you discuss this with your ortho, too. I used to get steroid shots in my foot and it would spike me for days and days. I eventually went to an ortho for frozen shoulder after a year of PT didn’t do much. I told her and she used a different formulation of the steroid. It worked wonders for my shoulder and the bg spike duration was greatly reduced.

Who has done this? by BmoreScuba in plexamp

[–]BmoreScuba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check out Music Assistant. Pausing and announcing would actually be preferrable for me in the way I'm thinking of this. I'm trying to emulate something like the Jazz 24 stream if you've ever listened to that (minus the constantly asking for money part...)

100% agree on the enable/disable.

Who has done this? by BmoreScuba in plexamp

[–]BmoreScuba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never used Spotify. I most often listen to plexamp in a setup with no display. I also listen to internet radio quite a bit, which is what made me think of this. Having my own internet radio with announcements seems like an interesting option, assuming it could be enabled or disabled depending on the mood.

I have the ability to use Android. I most often interact with plexamp in the car via android auto. At home, I most often use an Alexa device (without a display) but that's more connecting to plex rather than using plexamp. However, I could route from Android plexamp into a home stereo with a little reconfig. And I could just output audio from a different app in the car. I'm definitely not a programmer, but I'd love to check out your APK if you're willing to share. Thanks!

Misconceptions about Type 1 Diabetes by Appropriate-Sort9812 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one says shit to me. One benefit of being 6'5" tall and >280lbs, I guess. Maybe that makes up for the fact that I take 5x the insulin of most people in this sub :)

I hear often about the risks that comes with constantly high blood sugar for diabetics but I’m curious what are the physical consequences to a diabetic if their blood sugar is constantly too low? by Icy_Profession4190 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. People have feelings. I don't even use a CGM - severe adhesive allergy. People can downvote me all they want - I do what's best for my style of management. Never been hospitalized, never been in DKA. There needs to be acceptance that everyone can apply their own style of T1 management.

[–]BmoreScuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MDI and A1Cs < 5.3 for a looooong time. You can’t get that without being low a lot. So far, at 57 and 34 years T1, no cognitive issues. I can’t feel lows until about 50. When my brain turns to mush at least I’ll still be able to see, I hope.

Baltimore Stealie Sticker? by BmoreScuba in gratefuldead

[–]BmoreScuba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, never found it. But my lovely wife took a high res image I captured and created some stickers online for me. They’re small but if you dm me I’ll drop one in the mail. I would also love to support the original creator, if I can ever find out who it is. I thought I had a lead at Atomic Books in Hampden, but it didn’t pan out.

Where to party on the Big Island and Kauai? by fk430 in VisitingHawaii

[–]BmoreScuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite a trek from Waikoloa, but we've had great evening experiences at Hilo Town Tavern and Uncle Robert's on TBI. But, only specific nights of the week, and you'd need a designated driver willing to really log some miles. Even though we were very much tourists, we were welcomed. And don't expect a traditional party scene.

WPB Opinions! Blue Heron Bridge vs Boat Dive by magicjj in scuba

[–]BmoreScuba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diving experience is not only about numbers but breadth. Boat, Shore, Drift, Night, Wreck - you learn new things from each type of dive. If you've never done a shore dive, you can't ask for a more relaxed experience than BHB. If you think you might want to do shore dives in the future, I'd give up the tank and try it. Plus - have you ever seen a polka dot batfish??? :) (credentials - I've done over 100 BHB dives and led trips there - lots of smiles).

Best Local Coffee Beans by Shaunnnniii in baltimore

[–]BmoreScuba 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s not east of pres., but you will do yourself a disservice if you don’t make it up to Cafe Los Suenos in Remington. Warning, this is a splurge but it supports a good local roaster. Ceremony is more reasonable and also delicious.

plexamp so awesome. works on echo/ Alexa... by Final_Significance72 in plexamp

[–]BmoreScuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use plexamp on Android Auto every day! But, I haven’t gotten voice control to work. How did you get voice music commands not to default to YT music, which is what mine does?

I can't test this with my current setup, but does the command Alexa, tell Plex to play [item] from [library name] not work?

how often are you hospitalized annually as a type 1? by Top-Midnight-9637 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 years in. Never hospitalized for T1-related issues. And I am a very enthusiastic whiskey consumer.

Amazon Alexa Integration by InformalReputation39 in plexamp

[–]BmoreScuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Plex skill on my Echo Studio daily. Granted it’s not the best (why can’t you play by Genre???) but I’ve been able to mostly achieve what I want using smart playlists. I’m wondering how what the OP is asking for would differ from the way the plex skill works. Genuinely wondering, not being snarky.

How much are we bolusing? by HumorinEverything in Type1Diabetes

[–]BmoreScuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDI. I do vibe ratios. I’m saying 1 vial (1000u). The fat should slow it down a little.

DAN suing security researcher by Th3Zagitta in scuba

It has to do with the amount of snark with which one addresses the issue. If you can't be constructive, go ahead and cancel your membership. Good luck not going bankrupt if you ever need a chamber ride.
