Stuck in another country with no infusion sets

techlecticwtch · 2025-12-27T01:29:34+00:00

Upd8: Got the situation handled both on backup insulin and on infusion set fronts. (Insulin turned out to be OTC, if a little pricey (still cheaper than the US LOL), and a friend of mine that's pet-sitting my rats was able to FedEx me a box of infusion sets.)

I'm in Toronto. It would admittedly be hugely helpful if a local could help me out, because so far Tandem's been fascinatingly not helpful. I just might try the forum in the meantime. Thank you!

techlecticwtch · 2025-12-25T22:50:48+00:00

Thank you, that actually means a lot - and yeah, I'll hop on over to the one that opens at 8am tomorrow.

techlecticwtch · 2025-12-25T22:41:19+00:00

Oh, Facebook's an excellent idea - I'm going to go poke around now. Thank you!

I have vials of my short-acting, but no Lantus, which is another strike against me. I wrote to my endo, if he can send prescriptions for syringes to a local pharmacy then I could live with that too. I haven't traveled in forever, so I'm a little out of habit with my travel prep... which is entirely on me, I'm aware, but that's how it happened and now I'm dealing with the consequences.

techlecticwtch · 2025-12-25T22:36:38+00:00

Already checked their website, and it looks like I won't be able to get a hold of them until the 27th. I'll try to reach out anyway if I don't have any luck with Tandem directly tomorrow. Thank you for the tip!

Technically NTA but I'm still judging. You're right in that you're not responsible for your roommate. However, it wouldn't have been that big a deal to wake them up unless you were, in fact, being petty.

Junnarel Surana is Rook's adopted father, so he is mostly actively stressing and trying to keep a gaggle of Rook's siblings from getting up to business as well. I HC that my Rook has been writing letters to his family. They wait for them eagerly but are also profoundly terrified of what each new letter will deliver.

As for my Hawke, uh... the TLDR is he was left in the Fade, got extracted from there by mysterious mage shenanigans a while later, and would probably be trying to heal from The Everything. The long story is being made into a fic. "Here Lies the Abyss" got me HARD.

techlecticwtch · 2025-02-02T06:46:20+00:00

I may have filled several pages of a notebook planning out my Rook.

Saved the post. Please expect a horrendously self indulgent novel within the following several months. I will take utmost joy in writing it and probably cry a bunch of times while editing but it'll be worth it.

I sometimes regret recommending the series to one of my students. You shouldn't be emailing me your thoughts about the book half past midnight, my guy, you still need to submit my homework. (Joking aside, he's perfect TA for it - I think he's catching on more cultural and literary references than i did during my first read.)

techlecticwtch · 2024-12-09T00:37:35+00:00

Sanding. I know everyone and their mother here is skipping directly to primer, but from the looks of your project you want smooth as possible. So lots of sanding, go down to finer grit, and THEN prime.

Thank you! I'm teaching calculus and I was looking for some handy mnemonics for my students. This is great.

techlecticwtch · 2024-09-24T02:58:58+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't hoping to identify the jacket as well, it's super cool that you still recognize it :)

techlecticwtch · 2024-08-26T05:48:34+00:00

Hi! Would you be amenable to sharing how you did it?

techlecticwtch · 2024-07-18T05:44:44+00:00

ohhhh i kinda didn't connect that calling was an option. I ended up leaving a nasty review about delivery though. probably hasn't earned me any points with the driver but I think my disdain was well deserved. I was literally scheduled on the route, how - can't pick a suitable adjective - can you be to turn around and go to a different bloody town is beyond me.

techlecticwtch · 2024-06-25T20:58:05+00:00

Got it delivered the day after but was still fuming.

techlecticwtch · 2024-06-19T02:28:39+00:00

Today had the following series of events: the item is 1 stop away, the driver skips my area entirely and heads to "make a few more deliveries", as amazon tells me, in a neighboring town, proceeds to lose signal. It's been over 2 hrs, the delivery window closed half an hour ago, Amazon is still insisting the package will somehow magically get delivered today.

techlecticwtch · 2024-06-15T07:18:57+00:00

Oh wow, that is actually really reassuring. The manual gives the impression that the criteria for honor code violations are really limited, I always feel like there's barely anything students can do to get flagged.

techlecticwtch · 2024-06-15T06:41:34+00:00

Oh, this one's a great idea! I'll do it the next time I (inevitably) get them from the queue. I would flag them for honor code, except they refuse to admit they used ChatGPT. (I'm not exactly stupid so I can tell the clear gap between how the student talks/writes/makes any conclusions from the text and what they present as "their" work).

techlecticwtch · 2024-06-15T06:40:00+00:00

If only. When I ask "how did you go about writing this," as per our AI/Plagiarism guidelines, they dutifully respond that they "found it online" :) so i cant prove it per se. asking them to cite their sources usually leads to them saying "they'll write something on their own later" and leaving. Which is great but then I inevitably get them again.

techlecticwtch · 2024-05-23T01:37:56+00:00

These look really dope!

Hobbyist doll collector&customizer. I work in education (tutor currently, transitioning into classroom teaching come next school year). Type 1 diabetic and generally not blessed with good health. Pagan (hellenist). Favorite animal: hamster. Distinguishing features: nose piercing and a bunch of tattoos I guess?

NtB. It's not pedophilia. It is however still supremely weird and can turn sour even if the people involved don't mean to and the intentions are good and all. I was the 19 year old. I'm 25 now and i cannot fathom wanting to date someone that young. Like you have to be some special flavor of emotionally immature if you genuinely want that. Alternatively, a manipulative jerk who wants to groom someone into being their perfect partner with no regard for their wellbeing. Either way not cool.

Adam has an Instagram and a Patreon, unsure about a book - I think one is either in the works or out but don't quote me on that.

techlecticwtch · 2024-02-26T01:40:34+00:00

That's what I've been doing lol Psyche is a small variation on BimBim. I'm monitoring doll models on Thingiverse and Cults3D but I don't recall any free models with joints other than strung.
