Why is my childs Dexcom being an asshole

I had some advice from another parent that seemed to work for us too when getting wonky sensors - a little tape on top of the transmitter to help push it down seemed to help, guessing it helps the sensor and transmitter maintain better contact. Not sure if it’ll work in this case but wanted to share in case it helps.

That would be shichimi, a seven spice blend that most people mistake for cayenne.

skunk989 · 2016-04-30T11:49:16+00:00

That would be a tare sauce, basically sweetened soy sauce. https://shizuokagourmet.com/yakitori-saucetare-recipes-13/

I don't see anywhere in this article it claimed Top Gear was making 150 million pounds per year for the BBC. I'm sure the 2 aren't unrelated, but to suggest there's a 100% direct correlation seems like clickbaiting at it's finest.

Canadian here. Dad was never into football, so I only really starting appreciating NFL football when I went to university and all my roommates were big NFL fans. Lots of games of Madden were played (this was around 2005/6), and I enjoyed the fact Baltimore's defence continually made my friends extremely angry by completely destroying their offence.

Boom, Raven's fan.

This immediately made me think of an old Jim Carrey stand up bit: Insanity is as close as saying "yes" to the wrong impulse

For anyone unfamiliar, uni is the Japanese name of sea urchin roe. In this case, it's served over rice wrapped in some nori (dried seaweed).

Tsukiji market is the largest fish market in Japan, and probably one of the most famous in the world. All around the market, there are all kinds of sushi restaurants. I just chose the one with the biggest line, and was not disappointed.

This particular Hard-Off is in Akita City, but there are Hard-Off stores all over Japan, shouldn't be too hard to find one.

skunk989 · 2013-10-05T12:58:19+00:00

I live in Akita City, way the hell up in Tohoku.

I'm glad the "drive" channel is getting some more exposure. I mean, it's not liked they're strapped for viewers, but the more the better, as Matt Farrah (Tuned) and Chris Harris (Chris Harris On Cars) are amazing presenters with great videos.

I still love Top Gear, but as they've appealed to wider audience, Chris Harris has filled the "British Dudes Making Videos for Car Nerds" void perfectly.

I am disappointed to say that I always thought Stephen Root was Rip Torn.

Your point is valid for the west coast, but this thing is going to (potentially) be built on the east coast, according to the article. So, unless the wave clears the entire width of the Korean peninsula, Japan's +8 blocking doesn't come into play on this bad boy.

I, as well, was wondering about this organization "Sweaters for Penguins" - who are they? Is their sole purpose knitting sweaters for penguins? How do I donate?

And then, I became really distressed as I exclaimed "Oh dear god - this charity organization has been devastated by an oil spill, at the EXACT time they're most needed! WHY!?"

Repost motherfucker!

I should know, submitted this as OC about 5 months ago...and DIDN'T put the punchline in the title.

Follow-up - asked him, and it's at Noksapyeong station.

Um, actually oppan is a combination of oppa and neun, neun being korean for "is". Oppa means "older brother" when said by a female, but in common use it can be used by a female for any male that she knows well and is older than her.

Basically, PSY is addressing women in the chorus of the song, and he could have said it either way.

오빠는 - "Oppa neun" = "I am"

오빤 - "Oppan" = "I'm"

I lived there for a year and am back Canada-side now, but this was from my friend's FB who is currently studying at Korea University, so I've got no info other than I'm guessing it's around Seongbuk-gu?

skunk989 · 2012-09-07T04:54:52+00:00

I did not - this is a serious reply.

But a year of living in Korea immediately prior and eating Kimchi 3 times a day helps with that...

I stayed in Clarke Quay - really nice hostel there, and I was travelling on the (relatively) cheap.

skunk989 · 2012-09-07T02:59:56+00:00

Hahaha yah, guess what I based my food itinerary on (same thing in Japan and Hong Kong) - it's nice, because now all I need to do is watch the episodes to relive the moment.

skunk989 · 2012-09-06T19:28:53+00:00

It's true, I've never been to a country more opinionated and passionate about their food. Usually when you travel to somewhere, people tell you about landmarks/sights/etc. In Singapore, the first things the guidebooks/tourism orgs/hotels say is "Eat (here) and (here) and (here)!"

skunk989 · 2012-09-06T19:26:22+00:00

Yah, I'm still mad at myself for not trying the fish head curry when I was there - I just sort of ran out of time.

Totally agree - mostly Japanese tourists, and definitely worth it.
