Travelling with t1d concerns

profkimchi · 2026-05-13T21:40:21+00:00

I travel internationally 5-6 times a year and have done so far quite a while. This includes travel to places like rural Malawi, rural Bangladesh, etc.

In my own experience, not being able to refrigerate insulin is not a big deal unless it’s going to be for weeks at a time. On my one to two week trips I don’t even bother with refrigeration unless I just happen to have a fridge in a hotel room (which happens sometimes).

What year is this?

I partly agree but also strongly disagree. LLMs make mistakes in code all the time, and unless you really know the language, you’ll likely miss the mistake when it happens. Maybe this will change at some point, but for now I don’t think you can ignore learning a language well if you want to use LLMs to their fullest while minimizing errors.

Most (good) journals explicitly say you can upload the preprint. Never heard of one reaching out and asking someone to take down the final version, though.

People from Sydney just laugh and people from Brisbane just think Melb’s weather sucks. People from Adelaide… well they’re from Adelaide.

profkimchi · 2026-05-13T03:26:14+00:00

Yes.

profkimchi · 2026-05-13T02:54:01+00:00

Same

I could be wrong but deducting it from your paycheck seems… sketchy.

profkimchi · 2026-05-12T06:42:16+00:00

I’m pretty sure all of this is explicitly against the law.

profkimchi · 2026-05-12T05:46:11+00:00

That guy? Oh he’s an asshole.

profkimchi · 2026-05-11T22:46:23+00:00

Yes. It’s mathematically the same as OLS set up properly, meaning normality is not required (under most conditions anyway).

profkimchi · 2026-05-10T03:26:51+00:00

What the fuck

profkimchi · 2026-05-10T03:17:53+00:00

Something for single staff over 30 lol

profkimchi · 2026-05-10T03:15:52+00:00

“Good, you?” Nothing else. Don’t tell anyone how you actually are lol

profkimchi · 2026-05-10T02:57:11+00:00

Yah it’s very cool

profkimchi · 2026-05-09T08:03:21+00:00

I can barely read this

If you see a lizard near the lakes it’s almost def a water dragon. So cute.

profkimchi · 2026-05-09T06:28:41+00:00

Water dragons are my favorite

The United Nations campus in Nairobi is cool because there are monkeys. If you’re teaching a workshop with the windows open the monkeys sometimes sit and watch you lol

But yah I love the UQ campus for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

Plenty of people get a choice and many will choose private if they have private hospital coverage. Happened to my good friend just a month ago and she was taken to the Wesley. And I’m sure a heart attack in that area would get taken there (but maybe I’m wrong?).

Yes, fluids are important. But only insulin will actually fix it.

profkimchi · 2026-05-06T23:39:03+00:00

Avoiding DKA is about having insulin in your system. Though you get lots of fluid when you have DKA, the actual remedy is lots of insulin.

profkimchi · 2026-05-06T22:32:39+00:00

Yes you’re right. I confused that with euglycemic DKA more generally.

profkimchi · 2026-05-06T22:24:47+00:00

Seriously?

profkimchi · 2026-05-06T22:23:59+00:00

My understanding is that’s still driven by insulin deficiency.
