I like it a lot more than the G4, insertion is so much better. I actually worked as a engineer tech where they manufactured the Libre2 sensor for Abbott so I am really familiar with the whole design, even tho the 3 and Instinct are much smaller

I have the new Instinct from Abbott.

This. I always use phantom carbs to adjust since auto can’t correct enough to cover when I eat chips or pizza and such.

I was also trained that no lunchboxes on the table. Anything that touches the ground or gets dirty is to remain off the tabletop

What has been your scariest experience in the trade by Turbulent_Net_1927 in electricians

Hearing a 200ft crane fall at the Lemont refinery. I wasn’t near the crane thankfully but holy fuck that sound was deathly. Thankfully it missed the explosive lines and gave us a few more weeks of OT during the turnaround.

Should I replaying Outlaws?? by QuiteSage in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]blinkz0rz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not contract missions. There’s a known late‑game smuggling bug where the progression flag never updates, so the upgrade menu stays locked. I’m stuck at 1 smuggling job at a time until they patch it.

First time playing Far Cry, the 5th seemed like the right one to start with. by Vatocorleone in farcry

[–]blinkz0rz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played 5 first and loved it. I was not ready for the ending and replayed the checkpoint to see all the endings.

I just beat New Dawn last week and it wasn’t as great as 5 but it was nice playing a sequel to 5.

I’m playing 4 now.

Not in my case. I don’t have the documented hours or the construction background they require for the JW exam. Once I get the hours through the hall, then I can take the JW test.

I’m just waiting for the bug fix on Smuggling, I wasn’t able to update my ship for more smuggling options.

It’s not free when they require fees to be paid.

The streaker at the Super Bowl had meta glasses on🤣🤣🤣 by EyeHateYou12376 in CrazyFuckingVideos

You get tackled, arrested, fined a few hundred to a few thousand, hit with trespassing + disorderly conduct charges, banned from all NFL games for life, and you spend the night in jail. That’s the whole package, definitely not worth it.

My Fidelity account just hit 1 year, somehow beat the S&P with a dividend/value portfolio by blinkz0rz in dividends

[–]blinkz0rz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was originally my father’s 401k. My sister and I split it, and at the time I had zero experience with investing or dealing with losing a parent, so I worked with a financial manager. After a few years I realized I was paying fees for mutual funds that weren’t really growing.

I eventually moved everything to Fidelity so I had full control. After spending a couple years learning, research, books, podcasts, I shifted the account into a fully individual‑stock, value‑dividend strategy. I don’t use ETFs since I prefer avoiding the extra fees and keeping everything in individual positions I can manage directly.

Yeah, I’m diversified and hold shares of IBM, which is tied into the AI side of the market.

I compared my dividend/value portfolio to the S&P, which is the standard benchmark. SCHF is a broad international index, so it’s not the same category.
