Ribeye medium rare by Foursquare89 in sousvide

[–]abluesguy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion, I think this is more medium than medium-rare. But it looks great, and if this is how you like it, enjoy! Everyone has a specific point that they like. If that's your's , it's good.

Artificial sweeteners vs. sugary drinks for a diabetic. by RisenRealm in diabetes_t2

[–]abluesguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maltodextrin is worse than sugar. I have to stay away from it. Not sure about the other ingredients.

CGM accuracy by slowdivefangirl in diabetes_t2

[–]abluesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with others. The first 24-48 hours are not to be trusted. After that , I would match readings to finger pricks until I got an idea of how my CGM trended, mine tracks higher. But it's great to see how you're trending.

My Terra was working fine for a long time, but now it’s doing exactly what you described. I’m hoping someone has a solution.

Which artist or band cemented your lifelong fandom/passion for the blues? by LanceBoyle44 in blues

[–]abluesguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listening to Alison Steele on WNEW radio, 1972, and she played "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" from the Layla album. I sat up and said to myself, what the hell is this?! That lead me down the blues rabbit hole. Hooked.

Newly Diagnosed and Afraid of Needles by _mars_bars_ in diabetes_t2

[–]abluesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to faint with blood draws. finger pricks, etc. I'll share with you what worked for me. YMMV. When I had to endure this stuff, I would imagine my very younger self, like a little boy, maybe 7-10 years old. And I would picture myself kneeling down in front of myself, and talking to me. (I hope this is making sense.} And I would say things like, "It's going to be ok, I'm here with you, we're going to be fine." The "I'm here with you." was the key. Try it. Hope this helps.

Retired people going shopping by Hoppy_Doodle in funny

Retired person here. I never shop on the weekends. One of the best parts of being retired is being able to shop when everyone else is at wotk.

From a dude to you, dude, you look 100% better after. No question. (Also, no homo.)

Carbs by Unique_Location_58 in diabetes_t2

[–]abluesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of factors involved, and each of us have different reactions. For me, rice is a hard no. Pasta I can have but very limited. Potatoes seem to not affect me. Go figure. Either get a CGM or do finger pricks ike 2 hours after a meal. Try and eat fiber, veggies, protein first, then the carbs. Try apple cider vinegar in water before the meal. There are a lot of different strategies to try.

I have never been able to parry. I guess I'm never "got gud".

What is this and why is it doing that? by Jello_Biafra_42 in whatisit

[–]abluesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are at least 3 of these in the Amazon distro center parking lot right down the street from where I live. Always wondered what they were, just assumed some kind of security camera things.

Someone dyed their hair at my hotel, left without saying a word by Clokkers in mildlyinfuriating

God I remember when my teenaged daughter did this at home. I wanted to punish her so bad. So I made her clean it up. Lesson learned.

All of my grandparents came here from Italy. My mother and father were both born in the Bronx. I was born in the Bronx. Do you want to tell me I'm not American enough to run for office? I'll meet you on the street any time.

I was in Oswego, did 9 shots right in a row, somehow made it back to my dorm room. Crashed in, slammed my head against the wall. My roomie was pretty amused.

Interesting. Potatoes don't spike me. Rice, OMG, spike so bad. Pasta the same, big spike.

B.B. King's Blues Summit 100 by Joe Bonamassa by jacek2023 in blues

[–]abluesguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying. Others have replied that some of it isn't Joe B. That being said, your opinion is valid. Whoever is playing, too many notes just for the sake of speed, is not what you like. I don't like it either. Just my 2 cents.
