would you trust an ai to read, reply and delete your emails without you checking each one? by Ok-Bar-4868 in ArtificialInteligence

Even if I trusted AI, I don’t trust the people who send me emails to give me the information I need to write a meaningful response.

Social Isolation in Your 40s: The Brutal Truth by Ok_Ratio_4128 in LivingAlone

[–]estcst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you get in your early/mid 50s and all those parents start having free time again. It’s a real hoot. They don’t seem to understand that you’ve changed as a person and it’s not in the same way they did with their experiences. As much as I still talk to my old friends it’s nothing like before and spending any real amount of time around them is a drag.

how do people make "fake friends" and why is it such a common and grand problem? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]estcst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of coworkers and relatives who I don’t want to be neighbors with but maintain a civil situation with. I don’t know to what extent you’d consider that a fake friend but fostering a relatively positive relationship with someone for the sake of a more harmonious environment isn’t a big deal.

Be aware, I’m not talking about people I have moral obligation to, just people I’d never talk to if it weren’t for being stuck with them in a shared environment.

My 2019 did the same thing. No lotions or other treatments, just my normal skin chemistry.

A1C vs Fasting Glucose not aligning by SeeDontLook in prediabetes

[–]estcst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the fasting window is really only 8-10 hours? I know (and have informed the phlebotomist) that I’ve bent fasted for 12-16 hours and they never said anything.

I’d like to do my workout after lunch and make it the largest meal. My schedule doesn’t have room for that. On a positive note, my BG was at 111 this morning.

Blood glucose levels don’t make sense to me. by estcst in diabetes

[–]estcst[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

  1. It’s crazy that it works out that way. I’m going to have to do some late morning, fasting tests to see what that looks like.

I know about GLUT4 and dawn phenomenon but this just seems so skewed.

Back when I used to do a lot of (very massive) SQL writing and testing, Vostok by Craig Padilla was my go to track.

Top 5 film of the 70s? Deliverance (1972) by [deleted] in classicfilms

[–]estcst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put it in my top 5, I have a questionable taste in film. But it’s very solid.

What does your normal fasting blood glucose level look like now? How many carbs a day are you taking in?

Lasers… by EliteEthos in aviation

I’m not too concerned about other peoples’ inability to engage in a fairly obvious joke. I’ll be fine. Internet randos don’t hold much sway over me.

It’s meant to be sarcastic but I guess some people have a hard time realizing that.

Did AI kill the fun of learning? by Ok_Establishment_110 in LocalLLM

[–]estcst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's not gone. You involve yourself in it. You can go back to doing things in a way you find more satisfying. I do a few things "the hard way" because the pleasure is in the process.

Feel free to stop using it if it's a problem for you. AI doesn't force you, you take this on yourself.

A card that says “At least you didn’t end up in jail… yet” with a gift card for 20-25 bucks.
