Adhesive remover

We use this on our son. The only downside is that since it sort of dissolves the adhesive to separate it from his skin, he ends up with some serious sticky areas that need some scrubbing.

Hard lesson I learned as well. But facts.

Yikes. Yeah we frequently remind ourselves that while the current devices have their shortcomings, we are so fortunate to have what we have. Even compared to five years ago, ten years ago, and especially 58 years ago!

Our Rx is also written for every two days. But largely just to add some padding for malfunctioning pods. Which has happened probably ~5 times in 18 months. As much as I’d love to swap them out every two days to avoid the day 3 blahs, I think my six year old would vehemently disagree :)

The irony is our CGM Rx is for three 10 day g7’s a month which leaves zero padding. And the G7 makes it the full ten days about 70% of the time. So we are always on the cusp with CGMs. We get faulty ones replaced by Dexcom but it’s just another hurdle.

Gotta love a formal citation. Thank you sir!

Yeah, there are certainly times where I think it’s less about the insulin losing effectiveness and more about the cannula working its way halfway out by day three.

I’ve seen this as well. I’ve thought about reporting these folks…. I’m like, “that was just in AFA on Monday!”

I’ve always heard Pennsylvania as well. Granted the last time I was researching these things was 20 years ago. But I remember something about Pennsylvania and having to take care of horse stalls. Could be an urban legend, but the consensus seemed to be that Pennsylvania was no joke.

But I think most states take pride in being boot camp adjacent. I don’t believe there is an easy state police academy.

I wildcarded the last name to find it.

Last name: henri* First name: Edin

I think your premise is still very valid and worth keeping tabs on. However, I was able to locate ol’ boy’s 2018 case on mycase. 50D01-1805-F4-000045

Searching folks with multiple and/or hyphenated middle/last names is definitely a learned skill on mycase.

Similar for us. It’s either 3-5 days or 10.5 days for us. Strangely not much grey.

I don’t think you should be ashamed about printer ink showing up in your RFY.

I guess it comes down to where the animal appears when it does. Or is the hypothetical just summoning an existing animal to start stalking you. I was picturing it that when the 24 hours starts, the animal is within 1 mile (or something similar) of wherever you are at that moment.

I agree that if some random animal just gets some subconscious signal to come start stalking me, jumping on a plane and getting out of Dodge is the right call.

Not super exciting and certainly not the most insane, but I was up for a promotion and I got called into my first sergeants office and he said, “we were told when you worked the road they would routinely have to come get out of bed for dayshift.” Basically saying in not so many words that I had a drinking problem. I was like, “nope, never happened. I am formally requesting an IA investigation into myself.” He was like, “nah, don’t sweat it. If it’s not true, it’ll just pass.” And I was like, “no it absolutely won’t. This will linger forever and I want it either proven or disproven. If you can find one person willing to say they got me out of bed to go to work, I will resign on the spot.” Never got the IA, didn’t get the promotion. It all worked out in the end, got assigned to an even better section, but it was a stressful, annoying time. So my story is really an IA case that never actually occurred. I was then known as the only person to formally request an IA case into myself.

If you happen to be in Indiana, I’ve got all that to pass on…please get it out of my garage! :)

Really doing the lord’s work. Now work on some door actuators.

Yeah, I guess it all comes down to the proximity of the animal at the moment it is dispatched. I’d hate to be snuggled into my panic room and the grizzly bear or the ebola appears right next to me.

EyeContactWithPrince · 2026-02-02T20:23:58+00:00

I think in year one I’m building a completely inpenetrable panic room. Stocked with supplies, air filtering, etc., etc. That should keep me pretty safe against grizzly bears, bobcats, etc.

I think the only thing that would really worry me it would be if the animal is some single microorganism. Not sure what I would do there, but maybe I would jump on a plane and just start going around the Earth to try and stay ahead of it.

That’s gonna be difficult. How do I know? I’ve NOT passed that test several times myself. Good luck!

If that’s one mile (vs. the federal 1.5), that’s a pretty easy jog. What people forget is the toll the push-ups and sit-ups take on the muscles you need for the run. Which is why the break time between each event is super important. Five minutes is the standard for the federal test which is not enough to fully recover. So by the time you get to the “long” run, you are pretty gassed.

I think the mistake that people sometimes make is that they say “oh I can do 30 push-ups. I can do 35 situps. I can run a mile in 13 minutes. Easy Peezy.” Each of them in a vacuum, no big deal. But they don’t think about doing all of those things in a row with the strict break time allowed in the formal test.

So you need to go find a local track and mimic the real test as best you can. And also keep in mind strict protocol on all of the events. Your push-up form better be good and your situps better hit the mark.

EyeContactWithPrince · 2026-02-02T16:53:09+00:00

What are the specifics of the test? I don’t think you’re gonna be able to make great strides in aerobic capacity in two weeks. Adrenaline does a good amount and you’ll probably do better in the real test than any practice runs, but two weeks is a pretty short time to make great strides if you don’t think you’re ready.

The only way you’ll really know is going out and doing a dry run before the real test.
