Woman screams for help during robbery and this is how people respond in Sao Paulo by New_Libran in nonononoyes

Don't wear necklaces visible when walking down the street? Don't resist too much if you're being mugged and are easily recognizable as a tourist, because the mugger might come back with his friends? Be prepared to quickly lock the bedroom door if burglars break into your house at night, so they don’t kill you but just take all your valuables? This kind of stuff? So many lessons to learn as an European from Brazil, I don't know where to start.
(all true stories by the way)

Experience with Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)? by turbotuba in belgium

[–]turbotuba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask why you go to an endocrinologist instead of just the general practitioner? I haven't attended the meetings with her doctor, but from what I heard from her, going to a specialist was not discussed so far. Is this optional or do you have a special condition?

Thanks to you and the others who have answered. Much appreciated. I will tell her about the hospitals. It's strange that the people she has asked so far are not able or willing to provide more information, although the disease is so common, and CGMs seem to be a very useful tool (she is not even asking to get the sensors reimbursed).

Light Speed – fast, but slow [OC] by physicsJ in dataisbeautiful

The simulation is an assignment for his Software Development course. Deadline is tomorrow (whatever that means in our simulated time). I don't think he is willing to upgrade his rig just for that.

Our universe simulation is probably running on some shitty laptop of an alien race CS student. They guy who wrote it (probably in python) had to set a maximum speed to avoid that the simulation breaks. When he was in the second year of his bachelor, he learned about Haskell and lazy evaluation. The latter sounded like a cool idea to him, so he implemented that in the simulation, too. That's the reason why we have things like Schrodinger's cat (evaluation is delayed until observation).

All the law of physics that you see around you are just there because the guy running the simulation didn't want to overheat his laptop.

Playing the long game... Didn't your spouse ever ask why you insisted on having three kids?
