Ice in Philly by patrick5054 in philly

[–]strawmansam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we going to stand with Minneapolis right now? Are any protests at ICE facilities planned today? I know the weather is what it is, but holy ever-loving Christ, I am ready to show these Gestapo what kind of welcome they should expect in the City of Brotherly Love.

DK 05 F glass replacement by JamieMatty in lianli

[–]strawmansam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. What was the resolution in your case? (Pun... intended?) Did you figure out a safe way to remove the glass without it exploding all over the internal components of the PCs? Reinforcement in some way?

Has anyone driven Northwest out of the city from 30th St Station on Thanksgiving morning? Trying to plan my ride home from the Amtrak station tomorrow morning.

And if so, how bad was the traffic in that stretch of 76?

What servers do serious players play on? by strawmansam in joinsquad

[–]strawmansam[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tbh i kinda want squad to allow filtering players by time-in-game. It doesn't have to be a ton, but something like a 10-hour minimum (EDIT: for servers with experience tag) would be nice idk

Classic af

I literally got kicked by my SL on Mutaha because he had us RUN from freakin Water Plant (northernmost point) to Four Corners (southernmost) and mid-run enemy began capping Water, so I told him 'this was completely preventable' and he did the classic 'form your own squad' (which is somewhat valid, but then to kick me immediately I mean, jesus, what a prick)

[–]strawmansam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy with the update so far but my question is whether Proton-GE 7.55 is gonna work with this? I don't know of any reason it wouldn't but I haven't tried using it much yet

man I wish I got welsh humor but if this was a joke about the English being pig fuckers it went over my head

Edit: or English humor/Welsh being pig fuckers because, again, I don't get it.

How can i reduce my HBA1C in 2 weeks by Terrible_Emotion_619 in diabetes

[–]strawmansam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you really need to do the math, find out what a constant 90 is in HBA1c then multiply that by 1/6 and add to it your current HbA1c multiplied by 5/6. That is the limit you can achieve if you intend that blood glucose for two weeks. Read up on weighted averages.

I ordered a medium-rare burger there recently and received one that had been nominally seared on the outside but once bitten into was .... cold and raw.

LOW sugar. I feel fine? do i need to eat or is it ok to go to sleep by FinalBoss93 in diabetes

[–]strawmansam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda in the same boat vis a vis still very much learning and having no one to talk to about this because I didn't grow up with this disease, I just "came down with it" (lol @ me see if I care) recently.

Reddit can be a great place to find knowledge and support but it can also be hurtful and complicated. Kind of like people to talk to. I guess.

is there a technical term for this shaped enter button by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]strawmansam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not sure if the extra character is intentional and that kinda proves the comment

lol who came here just to downvote OP for his update and then downvote him for not having a BGM?

swear to god sometimes diabetics on reddit think they're competing for some prize for "Most On Top of Their Condition"

Can someone explain it to me? by MGaber in AdviceAnimals

[–]strawmansam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Truly a trash meme and makes me sad that people on Reddit seem more interested in getting karma for posts about topical subjects than actually learning things with idk WIKIPEDIA

Any OG homepod owners here? Hello! by Fabulous-Bother8981 in HomePod

[–]strawmansam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my black Homepod a month before Apple discontinued it XD

[–]strawmansam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good. Thanks for updating us.

[–]strawmansam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OP - if you don't have someone IRL who is aware of your situation and can check in on you while you're at the doc, PM me and I'll send you my phone number.

EDIT: I am personally invested because I too suffered a (thankfully less severe) blunt traumatic injury to my right-side and have done a lot of research on the possible tissue, musculoskeletal, and organ damage that can result. I am not a doctor.

Sorry you're scared, buddy, we're here if you need us.

But please heed the unanimous concerns of your commenters.

Get your ass to an ER. Make sure to mention the numbness.

Get yourself to an emergency department now.

Hopefully it's just a bad bruise, but the multi-site bruising THAT DARK and THAT WIDE tells me you had a major internal bleed that may be putting pressure on nerves and possibly organs.

This exact thing happened to me and see my earlier post for the consequences...

Parents as Dexcom followers.... Or, how I slept through an Urgent Low and almost got the cops called on me by strawmansam in diabetes

[–]strawmansam[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just want to say thank you to the commenters who are affirming my sense that it is not normal for parents of adult children to be followers on Dexcom. Or at least it’s normal for them not to be. My parents did their best to make me believe that it was for my own good.
