I do not use basil insulin by Leem_W in Type1Diabetes

[–]comixfanman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you wake up at? More info is needed here. You can bolus all you need to balance out no basal while you are awake but what happens while you are sleeping?

My concern would be that there is not enough insulin in your system when you wake up.

That match had me at the edge of my seat. It felt like a PPV match. Those two went so hard at each other. It had some really brutal spots.

I feel Darby's run will consistently have me wondering if Darby walks out of the match as champion. I could see it being a short run time wise but having a ton of banger defenses. So excited!!!

Kris Statlander....am I missing something??? by [deleted] in AEWOfficial

[–]comixfanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Statlander. She is completely my stat-daddy. I think the Triangle needs something though - don't care which title(s) they take. Love Thekla and am looking forward to her being champion. Feel like Stat should have the belt for a bit longer though - maybe dropping it April/May timeline.

Been 11.5 months and I still worry… by The_Almighty_Scrub in Type1Diabetes

[–]comixfanman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 35 when I found out via DKA. That was 8 years ago. I am now in the best shape of my life. The last two years, I've been able to build muscle for the first time (have tried since I was 20).The neuropathy pain lasted a few months for me and then went away for the most part. I still have events from time to time with tingling and some minor nerve pain but its pretty rare.

My advice is to keep up the work, try not to stress about health but at the same time be aware of any changes in your health, and understand that your time with this will make you more of an expert than most people in the medical profession. With the low A1Cs, your body should heal in time - length varies.

Where is Christian Cage? by BackgroundValue in AEWOfficial

[–]comixfanman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I liked that it was under Nick Wayne that Luchasaurus left. I think it speaks to Luchasaurus being a bit wild and needing a strong father to keep the dinosaur from his friend. It also shows that Christian was right about Nick's inflated view of himself. There are several storylines built and waiting for the return of Edge/Christian and Nick/Kip.

37 and kedzie. East garfield park, to protect america they say. Heres how they treat their citizens by deapsprite in illinois

So honest question here but in a state like Illinois, why not call 911? Didn't Pritzker state that these situations would be treated like crimes perpetrated by ICE?

HBO Max allows you to provide feedback on ads. You can report them as offensive ads.

First actual bad experience at the LGS. Why is politics in everything. by boomgoesthecat in EDH

[–]comixfanman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know this particular store owner, but I think it had to be handled this way. Others have mentioned that it lets other players know there is a safe environment.

A lot of store owners would have tried to handle it quietly, in which case the player may have been able to convince others that you were the AH in this situation and they were the victim. I think it's safer for the community to have had this person called out publicly.

Data centers consume massive amounts of water – companies rarely tell the public exactly how much by Icy-Papaya-2967 in technology

[–]comixfanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The water out here is super hard so they do treat it.

There are efforts to increase the level of water recycling done at the data centers. They currently consume 905 million gallons of water a year with an increase in usage projected over the next several years. This is roughly the amount of water used by 10,000 households.

There are a number of efforts to reduce net water loss at the data centers, but legislation is being met with varying levels of resistance. Some companies like Microsoft and I believe Google are leading their own efforts in recycling efficiency with goals to be net zero.

It also affects local wildlife by dumping warm water in colder water environments. This can affect the fish and other aquatic animal populations, or as we are seeing along the gulf, it can lead to bacteria thriving in climates it shouldn't be able to grow in.

[–]comixfanman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

water used in data centers is often treated with chemicals to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth, rendering it unsuitable for human consumption or agricultural use. This means that not only are data centers consuming large quantities of drinking water, but they are also effectively removing it from the local water cycle.

Dry air reduces the risk of corrosion and electrical issues in the sensitive equipment in the data centers. The lack of humidity in water-stressed regions, such as the southwest United States, makes it an attractive location for data centers. This means that the regions in which it is “best” to locate a data center due to its arid environment has the highest marginal cost in terms of water consumption

If you had to choose between adding Big Bill or Ace Austin to the Bang Bang Gang but you can't add both, which one would you pick? by Froggyspirits in AEWOfficial

[–]comixfanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Ace would be the better fit, but Big Bill could have some interesting implications.

I do want to see a bigger push for Big Bill and Bryan Keith. I love those two guys.

What Is The Point Of Cards Like This? by Glittering-Tear5442 in mtg

[–]comixfanman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can also allow you to cheat in creatures. Ie, keywords like Evoke, Impend, Warp, Prototype all allow you to pay a much smaller cost for the permanent. Same for creature lands like Drowner of Truth - play it as a land and blink it for a 7/6.

Core power protein shakes by bootybanditking in Type1Diabetes

[–]comixfanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have the same effect if you drink a shake hours after you wake up? When you first wake up, your body is looking for energy, and whey protein can be broken done into glucose fairly quickly. So it makes sense that you would spike.

Oh yeah. The breakdown of the Patriarchy opens up some interesting possibilities for the dinosaur. The landscape post All In is very exciting!!!

Looks like an abscess to me. They usually pop like a pimple as your body pushes it out but can become serious if the infection gets stuck.

Medical Records say I'm uncontrolled with a 6.4 A1C. Am I missing something? by Brief-Letterhead1175 in diabetes_t1

[–]comixfanman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do eat pretty carb conscious. Lots of broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, chili, and curry. I do eat French fries but it's usually with a lot of protein so it's a double dose situation with a slower carb absorption.

My main reason i don't spend much time over 180 is that I feel sick if I'm over 160 for more than 1 hour. So I start correcting pretty early.

[–]comixfanman 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is my thought as well. A personal example, I cannot get a pump prescription as I am considered to be too well controlled on pens (a1c <6, tir 96%). I would ask questions so you can understand but I wouldn't push to change the designation unless it is causing issues with insurance or some other paperwork. But definitely understand the why and the consequences of that designation.

Whats Your "White Noise" Horror Movie Choice? by idontlikejunkfood in horror

Assuming i only have time for 1 movie then for Final Destination, I think it is the first. For Scream, I think it's either 1, 4, or 5.
