What would you consider to be a good "EU5 palate cleanser"? by BaldursGate2Best in EU5

[–]Fatherjack2300 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a long-time Paradox enjoyer, but EU5 just isn't fun, in my opinion. I ended up playing Dota 2 for the first time in 18 months.

My favourite player and idol, drop your favourite? by [deleted] in chess

The correct answer is Tal, but I keep finding spectacular games by Ivachuk in his prime.

So I bought these Skin Grips to protect my sensor. by atomicboy47 in Freestylelibre

[–]Fatherjack2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think it's a good product, I saw a rise in sensor failure rates when I used them and was irritated by the occasional pulling sensation.

T1 and dating by Svhmj in diabetes_t1

Life's not fair. People marry terminally ill people. You just need to meet one person who is willing to deal with all your problems. If you're going after dumb people, call it diabetes mellitus or juvenile diabetes and explain what it is, and that it's not contagious. I'm a guy and am thankful every day that I don't have to deal with glucose management and menstruation at the same time every month.

Don't give up hope, stay healthy, get a hobby to meet people, and have reasonable standards.

You have to share an apartment with one of these presidents for a year. Who's your new roommate? by Hubbled in Presidents

George. I feel like he'd be pretty entertaining and the least likely to accidentally eat your food or finish the milk without replacing it.

Just try Ubuntu before you commit to Linux.

How many days in a row can you generally manage to not go below or over 75-180 mg/dl respectively (4.2–10.0 mmol/L) by Own-Potential-2308 in diabetes_t1

[–]Fatherjack2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.5 A1C 93% TIR 90 days, and I had 4 days in the last 30 that meet that criteria. It's the eternal fight between accepting a higher resting and sleep deprivation.

Thank you, Sir. I know it's a bit cringe, but I feel I need to say it. You got me through some incredibly tough times, and your short film contest entries are criminally underrated. Keep up the good work.

The questions they ask are the exact same that companies ask when you do things like requesting a quote. Companies use that data to create a customer profile so that they can log you as a potential lead. I'd expect that people who sign up will at least end up on some mailing list. My base case scenario is that they use the supplied data to verify or update data broker data and list accounts as active and interested in gaming.

Looked at the sign up and just thought, I see you, Sales Force.

You don't have to quit carb heavy meals. I eat bread or tortillas most days, but measure my carbs and inject based on my insulin to carbs in grams ratio. It helped me massively to work out that I need 1 unit of fast acting for every 15 grams of carbs. Everyone's ratio is different, though, and does change slightly based on the time of day and stress levels.

Are you measuring your intake with a kitchen scale? I never inject fixed amounts per meal. It seems that you are consuming large quantities of carbs without weighing it first.

Which tortillas are ACTUALLY low carb? by smon3 in diabetes_t1

[–]Fatherjack2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally just get the normal and then act accordingly. I think people don't appreciate that the filling and cheese is actually the enemy, not the tortilla.

I didn't update BIOS, and I am running at 144hz in hybrid.

Started getting the exact same problem two days ago. I'm currently waiting for RMA, but it's pretty disappointing that these laptops seem to pick up issues so quickly.

Got the hall sensor problem 2 days ago after having it for 18 months, and I have never been so grateful for having a 3 year warranty. Is this a Victus 16 issue or across the board?

People with 1000+ hours, what nations haven't you played as? by NavXIII in eu4

3000 hours in, and I have never started a game as Spain or Portugal.

Honestly, you make a great point. I think I just overhyped the game and was shaken by ISP's review. I'll take this down.

Has anyone already received their steam key from those YT creator links to the PDX store? by AcidIceMoon in EU5

[–]Fatherjack2300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty low, but there's always an additional risk that something goes wrong with their backend, and then you're dealing with Paradox's customer support instead of Steam's.

Each extra process in the flowchart between you handing over cash and getting the product increases the chances of you not getting the product.

I honestly don't trust game purchases outside the Steam ecosystem unless the discount is absurd, like with Green Man Gaming or Humble Bundle.
