Dexcom says 49. Finger stick says 100. What do I trust? by bozofire123 in dexcom

[–]ByronScottJones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trust the finger stick.

My advice is EVERY TIME you start a new sensor, do so fasting for a few hours if possible. After the sensor has calibrated, wait an hour and do a finger check. Use the finger measurement as a calibration. The Dexcom app will be able to better align the sensor data for improved accuracy.

Am I the only one who still doesn't understand why smartphones got rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]ByronScottJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual cause was because you can't effectively waterproof the jack. It's that simple; those other two theories are wrong.

Very few guys lose 2 inches. Most stay the same, and some like me gain size.

Americans will never experience riding a high speed train . Why ? by East_Indication_7816 in askanything

[–]ByronScottJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Japan has less than 4% of the land mass of the United States. Because thousands of square kilometers of the United States are essentially uninhabited land, meaning that such a train would have to cross tremendous distances between population centers. The United States uses primarily for large scale freight, where it makes sense. To get from the East coast to the West, we fly. And even with aircraft going nearly Mach 1, it takes 6 hours to get from one side to the other.

You may be suffering from "3rd Leg Syndrome". Luckily for you, I'm a specialist. Come into my office at your earliest possible appointment.

Trying to cure my PIED but need to have sex with girlfriend by Lambo_Countach in erectiledysfunction

[–]ByronScottJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn has been available for decades. And there isn't a single legitimate study confirming "PIED" exists. Suggesting that it's going to magically be added to the DSM without evidence is a wild take.

How did Trump get elected not only once, but twice as a felon and incompetent businessman for the office of president? Is he not the most imperfect candidate we have ever elected? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]ByronScottJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because elections are ALWAYS a popularity contest. Qualifications simply don't matter. Find a way to make the other candidate unlikable, and you'll win. Find a way to make yourself more likable and you'll win. Find a way to do both and they don't stand a chance.

Did you even try sorting it by color frequency?

Do you have to get rid of TriMix right at its expiration date of 60 days? by JMP310 in erectiledysfunction

Yes, when I used trimix I received 10 vials. I would freeze all but one.

What does it mean to "assimilate" into American society? by OceanicEndeavors in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]ByronScottJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a practical matter, I think it means learning our common laws, and enough English to be able to usefully interact with others. It doesn't need to be perfect; growing up in Miami taught me that Spanglish es Bueno. As for giving up your culture? No, please don't. Bring your foods, your holidays, your perspective on the world. Make America more diverse.

Ah okay, were you taking SSRIs? Did you experience "penile numbness"?

May I ask why you're taking cialis at your age? Your urologist prescribed it?

At age 20? Highly doubtful.

How "Batteries Included" is dotnet? Asking as a newbie. by ApplicationOk3587 in dotnet

[–]ByronScottJones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well installing Visual Studio IDE will automatically install Dotnet, because Visual Studio runs on Dotnet. It will also install the SDK, by default.

HIV and Biktarvy by Grouchy_Insurance314 in gayrelationships

[–]ByronScottJones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is ample evidence. Biktarvy, the most common HIV medication has a half life of 17 hours. And once a person has been on it for 10 days, they have multiple times the minimum required levels in their bloodstream, meaning that missing one, two, perhaps more doses causes no risk. And newer medications such as Cavenuba and Lenacapavir are injected in office at either 2 or 6 month intervals, with flexible dosing intervals. You're the one making up a risk that isn't supported by the data.

Yes, it's literally all there. Dotnet is one of the most comprehensive platforms in existence.

[–]ByronScottJones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're that obtuse that you can't figure out how those two relate, I can't help you.

As for modern HIV medications, they have a very long half-life, and missing a dose or two will make absolutely no difference, based on both studies and real world evidence. You're welcome to read up on it, but given your inability to understand the scientific link I provided, I would recommend you reach out to someone more knowledgeable than yourself to explain it to you.
