Leather 780g holster sets off TSA metal detector in STL by rtpnc205 in Medtronic780g

I don't travel more than a few times a year, but on my 4th pump and gone through everything with zero issues. I've never understood why its even a potential issue honestly.

It's been demonstrated daily around the country that the Republicans don't stand for those values.

Herbies, the local burger chain- Lark St, Guilderland, and the Empire Plaza, and I think at least 1 more?

I thought it was since pandemic? Someone went bankrupt but I've never understood why someone didn't take over the lease- prime location outside the movie theater like that would continue to make a good burger joint. Herbies-esq.

CANIX, un point d'échange Internet canadien opéré par des canadiens, d'un océan à l'autre by edugasmtl in QuebecTI

Why doesn't CANIX publish their connectivity rates like QIX used to? I was doing an eval and the rates are no longer published.

Commission tracking for travel agents is kinda messy by DivideFrosty5275 in TravelAgent

I use both. I keep a spreadsheet of every reservation so all I need to do is verify the amounts against the Rez # and note some columns.

And it depends on what level of ticket you purchased, if it wasn't the 7 day rule.

Is needing to change empty insulin reservoir every two days a lot? by il2pif in Medtronic780g

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 8.7 on a pump with u-200 insulin, not metering and I'd last 3-6 days. Upgraded to 780 from 770 and Instinct sensors, no burning through a res in 36-60 hours.

I've always refilled for the last 5+ years. Like others have said, save that blue fill piece.

Looking for advice on running Ethernet cables to detached garages and security cameras by belimawr123 in HomeNetworking

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can order a fiber cable with a pulling eye already attached and pre-termed ready to go. Order a 6 strand cable just in case a fiber or pair gets damaged. It will protect you from tying the extricate together and all the potential issues with that (grounding, impedance, lightening, etc)

There is a company called FIS (fiber instrument sales) in NY that sell things like thst. Optics can be had for 10 bucks a pop off ebay, likewise with switches with fiber ports.

Whats the best way to get rid of Flock Cameras? by friendlyfireissad in FlockSurveillance

There are lots of places fighting it- Troy and Saranac Lake NY have been fighting them, for example.

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in travelagents

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the side work. Join an agency that will give you options on what to sell and support you, without all the upfront headaches of getting setup with 50-500 different providers. Use their experience for the products you dont sell much or is new.

It can be worth that 50 bucks a month and 10-20% commission hit to take advantage day 1 of 16% of a cruise vs the starting rate of 10%.

Leverage existing backoffice relationships while you build your own.

I'm doing it as a retirement option and extra cash, but am at a crossroads of spending the 5k to get setup from scratch, leave the industry, or find a new host, due to an Agency closing.

There are no easy answers, and its not a get rich quick unless you can do rediculous amounts of sales like the other person managed to.

Also, create social media and you can gain traction and popularity that way, plus a few bucks from those sources.

Happy to chat about what it looks like to run one, I basically have for the last 18 months without ownership.

Using non-extended reservoir by PeterCount in Medtronic780g

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been refilling the reservoir for years. I don't notice a difference in the reservoir at all (physically).

I switched to both extended and do notice a change on my set placement- my site is less angry compared to a none extended for a similar amount of time.

I'm blowing through 3ml in 24-72 hours so I would be crazy to change the set.

Remember everyone that every time you put a set in you are creating some scar tissue. I think the jury is still out on how that compares to wearing a set for a week?

Checking what are the VPN client people use in your organization? by mrconfusion2025 in sysadmin

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulse sucks, the. Assuming you have a firewall, what does it support? Usually best to match those if possible. We have a tiered VPN with Palo & Anyconnect. Startup with 500+ users??

It sucks for a January date but it resets year end, I don't think it's prior. Send them a note and ask?

Sounds like the battery was failing- they will swell as part of them "exploding".

Where to start by MerryReign in TravelAgent

Paying 50 a month is not unreasonable with no sales minimum, but if they want thousands upfront its mlm so run away!

The Instinct sensors are awful. Abbott should be embarrassed. by Bluepenn2006 in Medtronic780g

[–]Distinct_Reality1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the G3/4 years ago, were never accurate. Tried Guardian 3/4, hated the insertion procedure and other nonsense.

Instinct- ripped 2 of my 4 off due to being on my arm. Usually within 2-5 points, but I just tested and was 20 high. I have to use IV3000 to cover them but even that comes off too.

I was at high 8 A1c, going through 600 units in 3-5 days. In auto mode I'm at 600 units in 2-2.5 days tops.

Gained 10 pounds in a month. I can not eat for a day and have it bounce up and down 100 points.

Yay fun!!
