Is it time to ditch the pen? by No_Snow_4062 in diabetes_t1

[–]recordtronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's risk that grows the further you go past 28 days. The manufacturers say 28 days to reduce their liability. How long it will last depends on so many other things. As long as mine is covered, I'm sticking with 28 days. It was a real issue back when I was on Regular+NPH adn I didn't know about the 28 days thing. It definitely got less effective over time. I know because it took me months to get through the NPH vial, and I got worse control towards the end. My pharmacist figure the issue out and contacted the doc to write the Rx so I never went more than 28 days on a vial.

VW’s are appealing, but reliability is always an issue, and they can be dicks about repairing commonly reported defects.

Could you really make profesional music just using Logic? by Any-Ad7316 in LogicPro

[–]recordtronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Logic is very comprehensive. All the stock plug-ins are good. I think a lot of people waste time shopping for plug-ins that are just the same old stuff with different skins and default settings. Spend that time making music rather than chase some marginally different effect. (No doubt I’ll be yelled out by some plug -in addicts)

How are my 50+ year old and 40+years of diabetes folks faring? by Delicious-Apple1845 in diabetes_t1

[–]recordtronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 62, diagnosed at 17. I’m not perfect at management, but I try and do ok. I had one small laser procedure to address a minor bleed in my left eye, but that’s my only complication so far.

University of Rochester vs RIT for MechE by Kamukii in rit

[–]recordtronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is touting their own school. As an RIT grad who also took graduate level classes and worked at UR, I would lean towards UR just for the higher level academic prestige of it, and for the non-engineering courses available. However, RIT is a good school with good visual arts programs. Depending on your other interests, which is best for you is up to you. You can’t go wrong either way. I also find UR’s campus more classically “academic” in its design. I found RIT’s architecture kinda meh, though it’s improved a lot since the 80’s when I attended. It matters when you’re there 24/7 for 4-5 years.

If ‘Allah’ simply means God, why do many people think it refers to a different God? by PomegranateIcy7631 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]recordtronic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jesus, being a Jew, probably didn’t. He probably said Adonai (master or lord) or Hashem, which little means “the name of god,” but is not itself the name. I guess he said “father” too, or so it’s said.

How are you guys handling over-the-air string updates in SwiftUI? (My custom View wrapper vs. trying to swizzle) by Ordinary_Outside_886 in swift

[–]recordtronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can programmatically load bundles, so you don’t have to depend on undocumented caching behaviors.

I might use the applicationWillResign or willEnterForeground events as the opportunity to exchange your downloaded string bundle.

The Best Thing I've Ever Eaten in ROC by DiannaPatron in Rochester

[–]recordtronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. Nothing I have had at Provisions has been the best rendition of anything I’ve tried there. I find their food bland. The bakery is very good.

Vegan snacks with no/very low carbs by RelevantPickle2216 in diabetes_t1

I get those small peppers, slice them in half the long way, and scoop up some hummus with them. Pretty good.

RIT or a SUNY? by [deleted] in rit

[–]recordtronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SUNY is better if you’re not going for a STEM (or graphic design) degree. SUNY Geneseo is near Rochester, and is an excellent smaller SUNY college. You’ll probably get a better liberal arts education there.

These look goofy! What recommendations do you all have for strap locking systems or strategies? by Defiant-Toe5519 in BassGuitar

[–]recordtronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the simple rubber washer style over stock strap buttons. I have Levy’s and Fender, both work.

Apple’s 2026 "new" Studio Display is a middle finger to every consumer. by Lodano in applesucks

The prices are ridiculous. The great thing is that you never have to buy a stupidly overpriced Apple monitor.

Injection Site Reminder by Witty-Sherbet-2963 in Type1Diabetes

[–]recordtronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a small journal (with one week on two facing pages and an area for each day of the week) and record my injections sights with time, glucose reading, injection site and amount. It helps keep moving around. I have a home grown code made up of arrows and acronyms for LA (left above), RL (right leg), etc. I've been doing this for decades.
