The movie is great too. It’s on Peacock.

I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

In many places you can bicycle on the sidewalk, provided that you yield to pedestrians.

The insulin produced now has benefited from advances in technology just like most things. The fast acting insulin is predictable and works in 45 minutes to an hour and a half. The original insulin took hours and wasn’t nearly as predictable or stable. Testing/monitoring technology has seen even more significant advances.

I owe Banting and his colleagues my life, but it is different. That’s not to say that the continued well being of the public should be profitable and exclusive.

Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

I’m as offended by receiving survey requests for any and everything I buy or pay online. If it weren’t disingenuous I’d be fine with it, but it’s usually the retail marketing version of a push poll. There’s no way that they would get that something is off based on the normalized survey values without reading the non-normalized text box that corporate probably doesn’t care about. Therefore, they get a consistent value of 1, (you suck) to every question. If I had a positive experience I just don’t bother unless some poor bastard went out of their way to help me.

If you cook them until they’re mush with plenty of oil/butter, a bit more salt than I’d like to admit, pepper, dill, and a few drops of hickory smoke flavor, they’re amazing.

Insulin is only a part of the treatment/cost, and most of us are on several different types (fast-acting/long-acting). If you’re on a pump, it’s usually just fast-acting, but pumps are expensive. There’s also monitoring devices like glucose monitors and test strips, which are pricey. The sensors for continuous glucose monitors are about $100 a piece without insurance and last a week or two. Glucagon is a pretty useful thing to have on hand if you’re on insulin. It’s like Narcan for insulin, and it’s not inexpensive. There’s also that little matter of increased doctor’s office visits and frequent bloodwork, even with insurance, the copays and deductables can be burdensome. They won’t write the script if you don’t show up regularly. My diabetes doesn’t cost as much as my food, but it’s close, and I have decent insurance. All of that, and you’re still likely to have complications to some degree in your old age. Nothing about having diabetes is reasonable- universal healthcare would make the pill easier to swallow though.

Double spaces after periods can create “rivers.” This makes text more difficult to read for those with dyslexia. Whatever is used as a text editor is probably stripping them out for accessibility reasons. I suppose double spaces made sense with monospaced fonts.

Never half-ass two things. Whole ass one thing.

This has been my mantra ever since he said it, and I have repeated it in countless meetings. It’s generally received well.

Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.

At least there wasn’t a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.

I’m not too sure where the source data for this post originated, but here is the Wiki for US Ecoregions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ecoregions_in_the_United_States_(EPA)

I usually test with a multimeter after carefully exposing the endpoint or whatever I’m working on. I had no idea that NCVTs were that untrustworthy, thanks.

A quality hand truck and a couple furniture dollies come in handy much more often than you might think.

If you’re the DIY type, make sure you buy a non-contact voltage tester pen (‘beepstick’). It beeps when it is in proximity to electricity.

Edit: see the mic_check_one_two comment below. Apparently I’m lucky to not be a crispy critter.

What OS will that tablet be running?

Slightly pedantic, but electrocuted means you’re dead.
