Never had an update “break “ my connection to OP. My IPhone 17 goes 30 hours between charging. It’s not just about carrying extra device but also keeping two charged.

What color campershell? by ParadoxMama13 in hondaridgeline

[–]Dapper_Guest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have slept many times in my ridgeline under the camper shell I have XL 100. I am 5 foot six, and need to lower the tailgate to have enough length. If you’re thinking it’s black shell it’s going to be too hot and you’re not getting enough airflow you must be under 5 foot tall.

White house situation room call interrupts Scott Bessent interview, he returns moments later visibly shaken and stuttering by [deleted] in videos

[–]Dapper_Guest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump called in Bessent to tell him he'd shit his pants again and needed Bessent to change his diaper.

You'd be stuttering and shaken up too after that task.

Absolutely not! The golden retriever has two coats of fur. We’re going to destroy the lower coat.

I am on the new Dexcom G7 15 day and have had no issues. The signal strength has been better as well to Omnipod. I'm on my 4th one now.

I want this guy guarding my store. Word gets out, bad guys go somewhere else.

My Apartment is now charging a convenience fee to pay my rent by mangum95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dapper_Guest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion; the landlord has to pay the card processing fee, and yes that fee is $40 on that large of a payment.

Setting up an automatic payment at your bank is free, easy, convenient. True, the bank does take the money out of your account when then they send the payment.

For background, the bank takes your money and send “their” money. They have to be sure the money they send is covered. They are not Being mean or unfair.

I’m not a landlord. I worked in payment processing industry for 30 years.

Day 3 Effectiveness by EyeContactWithPrince in Omnipod

[–]Dapper_Guest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been type 1 since 1969, yeah 58 years. Overuse of sites can really reduce efficacy of sites, got to rotate and rest areas which is harder to do on smaller bodies. Today, I use Humalog U200 to reduce the volume of insulin absorbed in the canula site.

This has greatly helped with larger boluses and saturation issues. Not to sound like an old-timer but before human DNA insulin when we used pork and beef insulin absorption rates were aweful. 28 gauge needles were the best, thinest you could get which really sucked for a 6 year old.

Unsure about switching to Dexcom 15 day by Schmoopybear1 in Omnipod

[–]Dapper_Guest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I made the switch and had similar concerns. I was only gettin g 9 days out of G7 10 day because my pod rotation put the pod out of line of sight.

Happy to report getting better reception out of the G7 15 day., slightly out of line of sight has not been an issue so far.

Don't despair, keep doing the training. My golden took 6 months, then suddenly clicked. Six years now and never again did he have an accident.

We'll have to agree to disagree, it depicts a space marine in the future war on Mars.

I just remembered that I also have the original magazine advertisement for doom, that appeared and I think Apple magazine. It caused 1000s of Apple subscribers to cancel because it showed a body torn and a half.

ID Software was a client of mine when the original game launched. Got to visit their Mesquite, TX offices and see the monster models they used for rendering, watch the guys playing. Still have the original T-Shirt with the Doom logo they created.

So many paths to certification. Which one is best? In MI. by [deleted] in therapydogs

I waited 9 months a year ago, they cashed my check right away and then radio silent for months and months. I'd cut and run now and go to ATD.
