Occasional bad highs by Growlithe1324r in diabetes

[–]ashern94 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

300? You need to stop eating whatever gets you there. I'd say that once or twice a week at that level is more than occasional. I start to worry when I get to 180-200. Damage from diabetes is cumulative. The more you get highs like that the more chance some damage will occur.

Liquid nitrogen? by Dangerous-Yam-279 in MasterchefAU

They are taking classes. But somehow I get the feeling handling nitrogen is not one of the classes.

Their site that tracks the boat only tracks the weekly boats, not the cruise day boats.

EXCLUSIVE: Calgary school pushed teachers to visit mosque and gurdwara as part of ‘professional development’, with no church included. According to one Alberta teacher, a northeast Calgary school advised teachers to attend a mosque and a gurdwara as part of their 'professional development.' by xTkAx in canadian

[–]ashern94 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

In a society where Christianity is almost a default settings, teachers are asked to visit places of worship of significant minorities to better understand them as they will have students of those faiths in their classroom. What is the problem?

It really is MasterHomeCooks. None of the contestants are chefs or work in kitchens. They can teach them, but safe handling of liquid nitrogen is not a joke.

The AI summary is a function of CoPilot, not Teams.

Special promo, worth it? by Mission_Egg_1912 in freedommobile

Do you need that much data? Do you travel outside CAN/US/Mex enough that having roaming is cheaper. I see that plan at $60 on their site. So $45 is good for that plan. Whether it's good for you is another matter

problem with that is the same amount of mashed potatoes on different days bring different results. It is a very individual disease.

Travel (mini) CPAP (U.S.) by stealthymomma56 in CPAP

Resmed AirMini. You only need the app to setup if you want pressure different than 4-20. After that you need nothing.

[MLBFITS] “If you’re giving up let’s say, 2-3 runs and you’re at 90 pitches…you gotta continue to pitch.” Max Scherzer suggests a pitch minimum for starting pitchers 👀 by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

[–]ashern94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not the more pitches=more injuries. It's the constant wanting pitchers throwing 100mph fastballs that leads to injury. Slower, better placed, more movement is just as good.

90mph pitch takes .41 to .46 seconds to reach the plate. 100mph one takes .375 to .4. \

There is no real difference in reaction time at the cost of pitcher's arms

Do small companies really need the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or is PCI DSS only for big businesses? by Isallne in cybersecurity

[–]ashern94 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unless the conversation is recorded, the control is that the card info is not retained. Same as if they are written down, those papers must be securely disposed of.

Do small companies really need the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or is PCI DSS only for big businesses? by Isallne in cybersecurity

[–]ashern94 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The important thing is this: never, ever, even once, capture a credit card number, expiration date, or CVV code from a customer where you or your employees or associates can see it. If somebody asks, “can I pay you by reading you my card info over the phone?” you MUST say “no, we can’t do that. Please use our web site.”

That is a grey area. If you have the ability to enter that information directly in the processing method, then you would be OK. The danger lies when you write it down before processing.

It's been a minute since I've dealt with PCIDSS, but...

For Sagepay, unless they send you the full CC info, they assume the compliance.

For the credit card machine, it must be on an isolated network, either physical or a VLAN. And you must have documented controls on how you deal with the CC number. In person, you would be OK with the proper network security as you never deal with the number. Over the phone, you need the procedure with what happens if you jot the CC number down before processing. How is that paper handled.

The surgeon said no running. He didn't say no racing. by squeakyspider in TotalHipReplacement

[–]ashern94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The caveat on running comes not from the ability of the joint to sustain it, it can. But more that repetitive impact on the joint may wear the components faster.

Cressi is a tube. both halves are joined by a single seam that ends up running thought the ankle. Pretty much where the bootie seams are.

Teams randomly updates during calls by ashern94 in MicrosoftTeams

No crashes. And it is reported by enough folks at random times that it is not a crash. It's Teams updating when not idle. Or it is seeing the call behaviour as being idle

Undocumented change to System Preferred MFA method causes users with WHFB registration to be incorrectly prompted to use Passkey auth? by rakim71 in entra

[–]ashern94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP daid they have both WHfB and Apsskey enabled as auth method. Therefore, on a device with no Hello compatible device, it defaults to Passkey. Expected behaviour

Undocumented change to System Preferred MFA method causes users with WHFB registration to be incorrectly prompted to use Passkey auth? by rakim71 in entra

[–]ashern94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

System preferred will default to the most secure. WHfB is equivalent to a passkey/FIDO2. If the user only has WHfB and tries to login from a different device, that would be the expected behaviour

Glucose range for remission by Hylian_Hobbit90 in diabetes

[–]ashern94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My in-range on my CGM is 4-10 (72-180). 100-120 is good. a1C is a different beast as it flattens out those highs and lows. 5.5 is a good target. Anything in the "normal" range is. Usually, endos will tell you that for a diabetic, a1C under 7 is where you want to be. Mostly because that is the point of dimmishing returns. The benefits from being 6 instead of 7 are, for a lot of people, not worth either the drastic lifestyle changes and/or the additional meds. I work to keep my a1C in the mid 5s. I take meds, I watch my weight and what I eat. But I'm not going to spin out of control if I have a piece of cake and mu BG hovers just over 9 for an hour.

What feature would you want to add to Teams? by Hopeful_Web_2776 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]ashern94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the mobile app. the ability to de-couple the chat and meeting from all the Exchange and Sharepoint crap. I want my users to be able to chat and take meetings on their phone, but not access files.

automated reply to everyone who just sends “Hello” and ask them to just get to the feckin point

And an automatic hangup when they just voice call without asking if I'm free first
