That's the type of meter the VA issues to me. And, I send my readings to my Diabetes Coach about once a month and we discuss how I'm doing and adjust things if needed. I've been doing this for about 20 years, and am very well controlled.

Much better then finger sticks 20 times a day leaving the tips of your fingers covered in bruises, pin pricks or just numb.

Man, you must have some seriously major case of diabetes if you need 20 sticks per day! I take 22 units of Lantus every morning and Novolog on a sliding scale with each meal and only four sticks per day. One before each meal and one at bedtime.

Why do you think that he's going to take the time to look up references for you when you never do?

If they buy the Mona Lisa and decide destroying it is what they want to do that is their decision.

Destroy the Mona Lisa? It's been done before. Nobody noticed.

From what I can see from reading TFA, Europe has not one, but two problems, both climate related. One, of course, is the heat. The other, that nobody here is talking about, is a massive drought. I'll bet that we're reading about crop failures and famines later this year.

Maybe they could call it 20 minutes into the future" .

No, no, no! That's DeadRat! Can't you get anything right?

I'm using Fedora f43 and running 7.1.5-101. Debian is falling behind.

However, they are very cryptic with brevity seemingly valued over understandability.

Agreed. However, all a new user needs to learn to get started in a CLI is one command: man. Once you have that, and a little practice in understanding what it's saying, you've got everything you need.

We have levels of wealth inequality that are worse than the gilded age right before the Great depression.

Where did you get that utterly wrong idea from? Not that the Gilded Age was a time of great wealth inequality, but that it was just before the Great Depression during the Roaring Twenties, roughly a century ago. If you'd bothered to check, you'd have learned that it ran from the late 1870s through the late 1890s, decades earlier.

So echo chambers for singers with weak voices are still OK, right?

Tell us you've never served in the military, without telling us you've never served in the military. :)

And when did you serve, and where? I was in Uncle Sam's Navy, '69-''73, including time in Tonkin Gulf.

If memory serves, his work on thiotimoline was just a sideline to the work that earned his doctorate. And, if you want to try to confirm his thiotimoline results, you can find it on Madagascar, a large island in the Indian Ocean, mostly inhabited by Zuni and Pueblo Indians.

Thank you. I'm a retired computer geek and was wondering. I use Fedora on my desktop, and update it every morning while making breakfast. Generally, I see a new kernel come out once every week or two, but lately they've been coming down two or three a week. Now I know why.

I want someone to turn the whole "president Jack Ryan" stuff into movies/TV.

I always figured that that's where Tom Clancy ran out of ideas, rather like Daffy Duck at the end of The Scarlet Pumpernifckel.
