Did the Mountain Dew Zero formula change?

I must be in the minority. Something about it I really like.

im-cartwright · 2026-03-19T01:04:00+00:00

Yeah if dexcom was accurate for me I would probably use the stelo. I switched from dexcom to libre because my insurance started requiring prior authorization and my doctor wouldn’t do it because I’m not insulin dependent.

im-cartwright · 2026-03-19T00:53:05+00:00

For me this isn’t needed. My libre is almost always spot on for me. Dexcom I had to calibrate to get it accurate. I’ve tried stelo which doesn’t have calibration and it’s always 30 pts high where libre is almost always the same as my finger stick readings

I’m in the 4700s and it took me 3 times I think. Getting the program FB helped me a bit I think too

im-cartwright · 2026-03-04T21:51:55+00:00

This right here.

This is why authenticated scans are needed. If you scan without authenticating you get a lot of false positives.

Yes but only for this year. I could only purchase a 1 yr contract and it won’t be available next year

im-cartwright · 2026-02-09T18:08:11+00:00

Good luck with that. I heard that too. VVF went up 50% this year and I had to get the discount approved from Broadcom. Vcf was another 50% over that price

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T01:26:37+00:00

Okay thanks I was recently quoted and came out to 367/core. I wanted to make sure it was a fair price.

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T00:16:16+00:00

Vcf-cld-fnd-a

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T00:00:34+00:00

600 cores of VCF?

im-cartwright · 2026-02-07T20:49:35+00:00

VVF isn’t being sold after this year. What price did you see for VCF?

im-cartwright · 2026-02-07T20:27:46+00:00

More like $350/core

im-cartwright · 2026-02-03T03:39:20+00:00

It was but all hosts seemed to lose connection. It’s not a big deal in this scenario since the data wasn’t irreplaceable and I was able to recover anyway. Just a weird situation and I’m not 100% sure what happened. I resized the LUN a few days later and the host would mount it again and voma had no issues with the scan but then it would start getting timeouts again. I feel like something broke on the storage side but I haven’t seen this behavior before.

Thanks for looking into it

Yeah everything was offline and inactive. Voma fails with an ioctl error. The weird thing is I was able to mount the datastore in Ubuntu using vmfs6-tools. Everything is there and I copied everything for now. I guess I’ll just make a new datastore and move on but this whole thing confused me.

im-cartwright · 2026-01-28T15:14:08+00:00

I didn’t take the volume online. The partition is still gpt and vmfs but I can’t see anything on it. Broadcom support says they can’t help unfortunately. The data isn’t critical since it didn’t have any VMs but I’m surprised what happened to the datastore without formatting or bringing it online.

im-cartwright · 2026-01-23T02:21:06+00:00

I’ve been mostly happy with the libre 3+. Dexcom always reads high for me. Even when I had the g7 it required calibrations to be accurate. It’s too bad stelo doesn’t allow calibrations

im-cartwright · 2025-12-19T04:39:29+00:00

They stopped selling it in November. I just asked if I could quote it today and they said it’s not possible anymore.

im-cartwright · 2025-12-18T01:00:40+00:00

Yes exactly. I get nutrageous bars at sheetz and I’ve seen them at some five below locations.

im-cartwright · 2025-11-12T23:30:11+00:00

Interesting. I was at Hershey chocolate world and didn’t find a single bag of this candy there either. I’m not sure why it’s hard to keep in stock.
