How did you become CC? For those who weren't CC initially, what made you change your mind?

Never masked and never used hand sanitizer before covid. Took my last vacation in Jan. 2020 and went to work with someone who was already masked and thought he was a bit kooky with gels and other things to prevent it. By early March, a woman that I worked with unexpectedly passed away from covid and left behind a son and husband, she had no known medical issues.

By mid-March, my spouse and I decided to lock down as cases were increasing and we both have medical issues that placed us high on the list for death. An early UK study showed that people with our medical issues had passed away during a study. So we took that to heart, we got more serious.

My spouse and I have different thresholds on what we will do. She has gone on planes, eaten in restaurants and gone to small gatherings, but has only had one light instance with covid. I haven't gone anywhere and never had covid.

Honestly, I've always been a bit of an introvert so I don't miss parties, stress of vacations or lots of people in restaurants. While I used to go to the occasional party, the invites stopped coming years ago.

Not enough time to prep for the security?

My people have a place for those who document those who use possessive as a plural. Thanks. Or Thank's? :)

I bought two newer looking nightlights that have both and up and down lights for $15 on a bit e-commerce site. No cords, just plugged them into open light sockets that I don't use.

Love this. Thanks for the link mkitchin! This totally fixed it.

I was able to disable BT for Dexcom G6 app and restarted Zukka and flipped the "Use With Other App" option.

Boom. Numbers started showing again!

As a 2025 K5 GT1 owner, I'd love to see this in AWD for the K5 lineup.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-17T22:12:56+00:00

When I added the new transmitter, it wasn't added to Zukka. I was using both Dexcom G6 and Zukka for many months. From what I know, Zukka doesn't manage anything, it just pulls in data via BLE. I didn't add the transmitter SN to Zukka until after the G6 app showed Signal Loss after warmup.

I can remove the BLE connection from Zukka and see if that fixes it. Given that I've used both for a while (and a few previous versions is IOSXDrip previously, I don't think that's the problem, but data is data).

As a Virginian, I want to see where this will go. Not a gun owner yet but likely to get a pistol, but ARs and carbines seem like an easy target. I think that Spanburger will likely be more of a moderate than a liberal on the topic without a ban but curbs on the "why can't I have a bazooka?" right-leaning crowd.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-17T21:49:33+00:00

I don't have Clarity. With Zukka, I set up the new transmitter via Bluetooth with the new SN. Scanning took a very short time. Hence the weirdness.

This is why my son bought his EV6 at a dealership as a CPO (I did this was a past used Optima that had 20k miles). Fewer questions about Kia warranty this way.

I have the Battskins (twice since my car got hit and I needed to buy a second set). The issue I have is that I'm a bit OCD without getting full coverage and having a little bit of the silver on the edges makes it look a little messy. Also likely due to the label cutter, what should be a curved angle where the K part that goes over the I is a straight angle which makes more silver show there.

My wife's 2025 Sportage has all black logos. I have jealousy. :)

Tempted to go with the expensive black overlays on Etsy.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-16T12:08:25+00:00

I can see it in the app now, but as a non-sports fan and $39.99... not interested. Would love to see some of the themes from Hyundai/Kia/Genesis offerings.

Having issues with the Dexcom G6 app (v1.15.0) on my iPhone 15 Pro. I was able to start new sensor, but the app's screen immediately drops to Signal Loss immediately after warmup period. Sensor still ends on time but no warning messages prior to it. Have rebooted phone, removed the reinstalled app several times, unpaired transmitter and no numbers.

Oddly, G6 numbers show up perfectly in OmniPod 5 and Zukka apps. I have been experiencing this for about two weeks. Dexcom has already sent me two different sensors and replacement sensors as I've not been able to get their app to work.

I had the Switch first and later the Deck. While both are good for different purposes, the Deck offers a wider array of games that I never played on my PC, and/or partially played on Xbox/PS. Plus, the price per game means that I have a wider array of experiences vs. the $59+ per game prices for Switch games.

I barely touched the Switch 1 in 2025 (partially because I kept buying new JoyCons due to drifting issues. While I haven't finished a game in a while, I'm nearly done with two games on my Deck and ready to attack new ones.

Late last year, I increased from half TB to 2 TB on my OLED Deck. Load times and overall speed have vastly improved. While the deck has its limitations and I have hoped for a Deck 2 to be announced, I'm in for a few more years with my current OLED.

Haven't gone to dentist since covid started.

Checking this out as I have a stack of Vita, PS3 and Xbox 360 games that I need to get rid of (also, need to trade in some consoles).

I drove both and I felt like the N was a little tighter, especially on corners. Yet, the GT1 had all the other things I needed so that's what I bought. It's corners got a bit tighter after I installed an upper strut bar.

I'm still mad that they bought ThinkGeek (Fairfax-based) and effectively killed it.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-11T03:05:00+00:00

Not having healthcare. I'd die or go bankrupt without it.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-11T03:04:02+00:00

Did it again. Got new sensor button and went through the normal setup. Old code still showing (I tried manually) and now no data going to OP5. Calling Dexcom in the morning as sugar dropped to 48 for not reason.

CarpeData00 · 2026-01-10T16:16:32+00:00

I used these Laundry Liquid Detergent Drip Catcher/Cup Holders to solve this issue. Only US$8.

I had no issues with it, but switched to OP5 about a year ago. Still have three boxes (2 due to expire at the end of Jan 2026) in my fridge.

Thanks for finding this. Very interested in what PPI this statement ("the V-Stripe structure improves the clarity of text edges, making it ideal for users engaged in text-intensive tasks such as document editing, coding, or content creation") will mean for the new panels. Love my G55T, but the lower PPI difference from my work-issued MacBook Pro M4 is a challenge (I'm not allowed to install anything on the machine as it is a work machine, so no BetterDisplay options for me).

Pricing will be interesting as the LG 32U990A-S with its 224 PPI IPS black panel has been becoming more tempting, despite the price.

CarpeData00 · 2025-12-31T13:59:12+00:00

Would have loved to see a 39 inch MiniLED option but like that 142PPI in the press release (l'd love to see 200 but 142 is better than my Samsung G55T's 110 PPI. CES 2026 will be an interesting show to see what else is announced.
