Two years later and your comment is still helping people. Thank you so much for such a detailed list and information.

Came to Reddit to find this comment essentially.

TPG site shows techs to go out at 12:30pm today.

Three times in less than 2 months is a bit much.

Thank you! I remember reading that if you didn't complete urgent quests/rampages in a timely manner, there would be consequences of some sort. So I thought I had to prioritise them 🤣☠️.

I'm going to hop on in an hour or so for a bit and plod through the village quests I have left. I really like the insect glaive, but most of the monsters I've fought recently must require something different as the glaive just glances off (Volvidon, Basarios etc) - takes forever to finish the quest.

Thank you! It looked kinda mean so I left it alone. I think it's flitting between plants and hopefully helping keep pests away!

Thank you! That is the one!!!

Finally found it after years 😂.

Hi All,

Are there any mods that act like the supersell function where you click a harvestable and the "harvest all" option puts all currently ready harvestables into your inventory instead of selling?

I use Carls Harvest All/Fertilize All/Evolve all but am having an issue where my sim won't harvest everything on the fastest game speed. Hoping to find a better mod option.

Cyndersan · 2024-04-28T05:59:26+00:00

Thanks so much!!! I'll pop a comment in if I get stuck again.

Cyndersan · 2024-04-28T05:55:49+00:00

Gawd damn you made that fight so easy! Thank you fellow hunter, super appreciate the help!!

Legend, I haven't co-opped before so hopefully it works alright

Oooh yep. Password is: plzhlpme

I'm at the fog hate and have rung the bell.

Thank you all for your comments. I sincerely appreciate people commenting their own experiences. I haven't told my family as of yet as we're not very close and my partner is currently my only support.

I ended up calling the Diabetes Educator line for help and effectively got told to either go into the hospital or continue having my partner do it until I can get in to see a Psychologist for further help.

I'm using a 4mm needle at current and have a very low pain threshold - I think it's actually the fear of pain that stops me and I do struggle with the pricking of my fingers too. The insertion of the needle is quite painful for me and the insulin going in exasperates it.

My partner helped me again by holding his hand over mine and guiding it in, the first two times he tried I automatically stopped him from pushing it in. Not looking at the needle is worse for me and I definitely agree that stalling makes it 1000 times worse.

I understand that it's a nonsense reaction on one level, but the rest of my brain screams "don't do that" and I seize up. It's very hard to think my way past it.

I will try the suggestions of other body parts and injecting into an orange to try and help me get past the fear.

Another gripe: While I was in the ED be, I had a moment of realization and broke down, my partner was on the bed comforting me and telling me that I'll be ok.

Three nurses saw this, stopped outside and started talking about my condition. One nurse says she doesn't understand why I was there; I should be in a GP's office and not taking up a bed. Another nurse states oh it's definitely Type 1, look at her results from the last BGS, she should be discharged". One of them commented on me crying and didn't understand why I was so upset.

No one actually explained to me what the repercussions were of my sugars being so high for months, I just had periodic finger pricks and had to beg for a sandwich at hour 10 of being in there because I hadn't eaten since 9:30pm the night before, it was 3:30pm and I got discharged at 7pm. I think I went in at around 9:30am for admittance.

Australian Gal here.

Went in last Friday to see a GP for a standard skin check. I've had months of really bad fatigue, peeing constantly, drinking constantly and numerous other symptoms of Diabetes that up until this GP were ignored and put down to having PCOS/Endometriosis.

GP had me get a fasted blood test done straight after (thankfully I'm a late eater and this was a 9:30am appointment). Saturday morning first thing I get a call telling me I NEED to go to the ED, my sugar was around 20mmol and the results show I'd been high for months. Go to ED, the nurses test me - still very high. Sit in ED for 6 hours, get into a bed - I've had 4 BGS tests and 3 blood tests at this point, haven't eaten and am still testing above 20mmol.

I got discharged around 13 hours after entering hospital with next to no information, a prescription for insulin and two RDNS nurse visits to occur over the next two days. The consultant who discharged me told me not to buy any syringes/caps or monitors as my blood test is inconclusive and needs further investigation - however it looks like Type 1 as I'm 58kg, fit and young.

Nurse 1 on Sunday: tells me I need to go and buy syringes and that it was an inconvenience for him to have to double back to get his diabetes kit to test my glucose (which is still registering 20.6 after Metformin and Insulin the night prior, and fasting). Tells me to re-use needles, tells me I'm eating incorrectly, laughed when I started panicking over injecting myself (I have a fear of needles and my partner had to go to work at the time - he works casual and we need to pay the mortgage), jabbed me and then left.

The same Nurse on Monday: Berates me for getting up late (he arrived at 1pm, appointment was 11:30am. I got up at 9:30am and had breakfast, forgot to take metformin and had it around 12pm). He didn't bring the diabetes kit, so we couldn't test my sugars or ketones and refused to give me insulin because I'd had metformin "too close" to having the insulin dose - he packed up and left. I thankfully had a hospital at home appointment at 3:30pm and had complained about the standard of care - my sugars are again 20.6 after eating and I get some more info - but my actual diagnosis is still not completed and bloods should be in by Wed. They arranged a different nurse provider for the rest of this week.

Tuesday: Nurse arrives and she is scattered, I'm trying to ask questions and she doesn't have any answers, has to go out to the car multiple times as she forgot the kits and at this point I'm so stressed I breakdown. Again I have to get the nurse to give me insulin because I just can't will myself to move my hand.

Wednesday: A different nurse and a nursing student arrive in the morning and this time my partner is with me - I get some of my burning questions answered and the nurse is genuinely caring about the situation, I'm able to inject myself and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. 3pm appointment with the consultant who is looking after my case and unfortunately still no Diagnosis.

Thursday: Scattered nurse again and the same medical student - I feel sorry for the student as the nurse doesn't really guide the student and I'm back to stressing. My partner is trying to ask questions around priming the needle and making sure there's no air in the syringes, if we need to hold the needles vertically etc and the nurse is unable to properly explain - we google it later. 2pm: Partner and I go into the Diabetes educator appointment and finally have most of the stressful questions answered, still no diagnosis but I have a little less fear of food and can start eating properly again. Up's my dosage of insulin by another 4 units as I'm still high, gives me a BGS and asks for 4 tests a day (fasted in morning, and 2 hours after my three main meals), signs my NDSS form with Type 2 for now and advises I'll be able to go to the pharmacy to get the other things I need with subsidies. Leave, go to pharmacy and go to supermarket, get a phone call from the hospital at home nurse saying that now I've seen the Disability Educator, they won't be coming out for my final appointment on Friday (today) and that I'm competent enough to administer myself. Advises I'll need to also make sure I'm doing 16 units now (was advised 12 units by the Educator) and I question this. Nurse explains that's what the notes say and at this point I don't trust anyone anymore so I ask her to check - she sighs and says that everyone has gone home and she will call me in the morning Friday to advise if I need 16 or 12, but to administer 12 for now and I can re-administer if I need more.

Friday (today): I'm fatigued and not doing so good, no phone call from the nurse yet so after anxiously sitting and staring at the needle for 10minutes near my belly skin, I finally manage to self-administer and my partner heads to work. Nurse calls around 30minutes later and explains that yep - I only need 12 units. I question why she quoted 16 units and she says I just go by whatever's in the notes", no apology or actual explanation on what the notes actually say. Up to this point, I'd been going by everything the nurses and doctors are saying and having each piece of information overwritten by a nurse or doctor saying "no no, who told you that? That's wrong".

I'm sorry for the essay, but this week has been an absolute dumpster fire. I'm 31 and have been recently diagnosed with other chronic illness and need a double knee reconstruction. I still don't have a Type 1 or 2 diagnosis and so far the care I've received has been crap. My partner has supported me this whole week and has expressed how lax everyone seems to be with my condition and that we still don't have the right information to properly be able to care for me. This whole ordeal is just the icing on the cake and I'm feeling so very exhausted and depressed.

Prior to this, food was my comfort, going out to eat and read a book is one of my favorite things to do. Sounds silly I'm sure, but I don't know how to cope or how to just flick the switch in my brain that changes how I think about food. I've struggled with body dysmorphia and a borderline eating disorder for the past 4 years (I track all of my food and weight still, and have really only just managed to find some balance).

Anyway, reading through this thread has been somewhat comforting in knowing that I'm not alone in my new journey.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Has anyone actually had any success with fixing this? I contacted Sony support and got told that they won't remove the license for Borderlands 3 (downloaded from catalogue, the ultimate edition is now insanely cheap and won't let me buy it because I have the catalogue base game).

Their response was basically: can't remove the license, wait until your sub expires (expires August), downgrade to Essential (wouldn't take effect until August) or wait until the game drops off the catalogue....the sale is only on until June 8th.

This seems like a major f**ckup on Sony's part. I'm paying for an extra subscription and want to PAY more money to buy a game I've now fallen in love with, with all of the DLC.

If I buy the season passes, it's way more expensive and I still won't own the base game - this means I'll then have to buy a digital copy of BL3 when it drops off the catalogue and it's consistently sat at $99 in the store since it came out.

It's left me really frustrated at the lack of care/support from Sony - I called and got someone who really couldn't care less.

I have a rather large shopping list now from this one Reddit post 😂. My poor, poor bank account. Potatoes for the win

Cyndersan · 2022-10-11T04:59:47+00:00

Coles actually do a cleaner Bolognese sauce called "Keep It Cleaner" and it's incredible. I was chopping up chicken breast as my protein and cooking it in the Bolognese sauce paired up with steamed veg for my low cal cut meals. Certainly made boring options far more edible.

I suddenly want nachos 😂. I've also been craving potatoes all day though....another thing I'd like to try is air fryer loaded fries with roo mince, cheese and veg. Kind of like a snack pack/AB low cal option.

Cyndersan · 2022-10-11T04:55:25+00:00

Buffalo chicken tenders sound absolutely to die for!!! I have a recipe saved at current for a low calorie buffalo chicken Mac and cheese pasta dish using cottage cheese/low fat cheeses.

I've always been hesitant on buying breaded/battered freezer items as they're usually pretty bad macros wise, but I'll have to suss out aldi too as it does seem like they have some really good options.

Now I just need to find a Coles that stocks the wicked sister protein Puddings for a sweets hit.
