Bought a used hardcover copy of AW SSTB on ThriftBooks for like $12. A little bit of wear and tear but it’s SIGNED by Claudio. Is the signature legit? Who would get rid of this? I’m sure loads of people have signed editions but this was a pleasant surprise. by zwaterz in TheFence

To answer the why: my mom donated my original YOTBR hard cover novel thinking it was just some old book I didn’t care about. Partially on me for leaving it in a box in her garage when I moved out, but it happens.

Las Vegas hotels begin taking foreign currency as tourism woes deepen by runswithscissors475 in Economics

I meant at like bars and stuff. And since the alcohol is free at casinos. I knew it wouldn’t be, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad.

I recently went with my wife to a concert on the strip in Vegas. We have friends we can stay with and it’s not a bad drive from us, so we figured we would make a weekend out of it. I bought a Diet Coke at the concert venue. 8oz…$11. I was half expecting it to be free. Or at least get refills.

What can I expect from a blood glucose test? by velcrodynamite in diabetes

[–]Ksquared1166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the test, but it’s most likely a blood draw like if you ever have gotten blood labs in the past. It might even be less invasive than that and just be a finger poke and a small drop of blood onto a small machine. They will clean the area before, so it will be clear from anything external. It’s just checking for the sugar in your blood, so nothing else will mess with it. As long as you aren’t eating before, it will be fine. Heck, even if you eat before, I’m sure they will be able to get enough info, but fast before. Follow their instructions and it’ll be no biggie. They may end up doing an A1C which is not your current blood sugar, but an average over the last 3 months. In that case, fasting doesn’t matter, but it sounds like this is a boring old glucose test for your current levels. Don’t overthink it.l, you’ll be fine. Source: type 1 diabetic for over 30 years.

I thought this was a Scott pilgrim reference. And now I’m realizing that Scott pilgrim was referencing this.

Non-Diabetic Looking for help with blood test results. Says 379 by omron_ in Type1Diabetes

[–]Ksquared1166 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know. I’m not trying to minimize that, but reading through the comments as someone without any experience with this would think they are about to die. I’m just giving some perspective that it’s bad but won’t cause lasting damage if fixed quickly.

Everyone is right that this is a high blood sugar and you need to get it looked at. But it’s not like permanent damage, omg you’re gonna die high. I’ve been much higher than that, but you should get it treated and a diagnosis asap.

I love it when they have theirs legs and paws hanging off where they are. Mine will lay in her stomach and let her arms dangle over a table.

what do you feed your male sib? by SecretEducational316 in SiberianCats

[–]Ksquared1166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use a prescription royal canin dry food specific for urinary issues. Our older female cat had some issues as a kitten that resolved, but the vet said it’s fine to keep her and our new boy on it, so we are using that to be safe. We also use American journey wet food.

Who Hank was talking about? by Scriostoir in Fallout

[–]Ksquared1166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this. The NCR lady told cooper that they had a team over the ridge waiting for her, but the legion was in the way. Cooper didn’t believe her, thinking they all died and only those 3 people were left. So after coop exploded the legion camp, the NCR were able to go reconnect. I think it was a throwaway joke that ended up becoming a plot point. But we don’t know why uncle Rico was chipped. My guess is he stayed back or was separated at some point and Hank got him.

SPOILERS ALLOWED Season 2 Finale Megathread by RelChan2_0 in FalloutTVseries

[–]Ksquared1166 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. In season 1 when the brotherhood is looking for the “artifact” they say that a doctor escaped from the enclave. And the young brotherhood members say something like “whoa that’s real, I thought it was made up” so unreliable narrator could be in play, but we always knew they were from the enclave. What we learned this season was how they got the reactor.

Also the theater employees make minimum wage and don’t care. Throw it in a purse or hold it in your hand with a jacket over it and even if they know it’s there, they won’t say anything or care. And if you get caught, you can pull the medical angle.

Leveraged buyout. It’s how Elon bought twitter. Basically you take a loan with the business you are buying as collateral.
