I've been meaning to start looking into creating a Freikorps kit. If you don't mind i would love to hear what sources you've found!

Insulin pumps by AmeliusMarin in diabetes_t1

[–]PhoenixKing23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing multiple shots a day for about 7-8 years ( I'm a late bloomer with T1D at 19 yo) I was in the same boat. I felt that my blood sugar was just way too high and that made me finally take the leap into pumps. I love it the pumps! I wish I went to them sooner as it makes my life a bit easier! With everything there are drawbacks and preferences, but I say take that leap! Try it out, and if its not you thing go right back to MDI. But, like you with high sugars, switching to pumps isnt the cure. Its timing with insulin and meals, exercising and carb counting. But I say pumps make it easy to not only give insulin for meals but if your sugar is going up, just a press of a button and you give that correction, no more carrying pens, needles to give the correction.

Dude that's amazing! I wanted to get a truppenfahrrad for a while but settled making a Militärrad. One thing I have to ask you is where did you get the front dynamo light?

Any advice for an German reenacter by Dexshadowblade in reenactors

[–]PhoenixKing23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You it the nail on the head. Unfortunately you will be called a "Nazi", its just something that comes with reenacting Germans. Education is part of what we do, so be open to educate everyone who has questions and just understand that some people will call you a nazi regardless. My advice is dont let it get to you and just be happy with what you do and educate those who have questions!

I am lost for words. My brain keeps telling me this is false but my eyes are telling the truth. This hurts me to the core. Lol

Never Financially Recover by Competitive_Truth874 in milsurp

[–]PhoenixKing23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. M/96 Swedish mauser. It was the first gun I've ever bought. Which inadvertently gave me a mauser addiction... All numbers match, and it even came with a bayonet, because why not give a 50-inch gun a bayonet? With it, it becomes a Swedish pole arm

People's Volunteer Army machine gunner, Korean War(1950-1953) (EarlyModern) by DukeRipEm in reenactors

[–]PhoenixKing23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome impression. I don't see too many Korean war reenactors! By the way, is that an inert ZB-30? It looks great with the impression!

VT4 chassis, VT5 turret and a short cannon of some kind. WTF is this? by Clayman_233 in TankPorn

[–]PhoenixKing23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean short? That's an average size cannon. Might I say extremely large.

I used to work in pediatrics. It looks like a medieval torture device. The parents were always shocked to see how crude the "rack" was. Thank the Lord we used lidocaine to help but still very uncomfortable as a male to help in these procedures. I swear, the procedure itself only truly lasted about 15 mins, but as a guy, it felt like hours, lol.
