The pancreas is an organ which produces a hormone called insulin, which regulates the intake of sugar from the blood.

In type 1 diabetics, the pancreas has been damaged by an autoimmune reaction, so they need to monitor their blood sugar and administer insulin to the blood using external equipment.

This can be done manually with a needle and glucose tester for measuring blood sugar, and a syringe for administering insulin, or an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor, which adhere to the skin and have continuous access to the blood through a cannula.

Being able to administer insulin without a needle or cannula would eliminate a common point of failure in this system. The cannula of an insulin pump can easily become dislodged from the skin when disturbed and leak insulin onto the surface, resulting in high blood sugar and wasted insulin.

I still haven’t gotten any popups at all on Firefox with uBlock, not sure what’s different about my setup

the PineTime can run for over a week in my experience, but it runs at 64 MHz and has 64kb of RAM, so telling time is pretty much its limit

the only good part of the last one was the mac-'n-cheese-induced divorce flashback, somehow that doesn’t give me hope for the future of the series

the last game I played was Duskers, so I’m probably either immediately dying in the vacuum of space or trapped in a derelict space station without any power.

if they sold DVDs of Netflix’s shows that would actually be pretty nice, but I doubt they would be OK with allowing anyone to actually own their media.

I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.

Every good result they serve you could have been an ad, so they’re incentivised to replace as many with ads as possible.

ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps

It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.

If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.

If you’re using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don’t do anything sensitive while it’s running it still won’t be able to do anything.

If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system

Good, if someone is selling their labor they should be protected as an employee.

Godot’s 3D is perfectly usable in my experience, it’s been a while since I’ve used Unity though so I can’t tell you how they compare.

I think you missed a letter…

That seems like a problem with Vim, then… Typically I don’t align at all, so I’m not familiar with editor behavior for alignment; I prefer to just indent one level deeper.

That’s not how you should mix tabs and spaces for alignment. You use the same number of tabs as the previous line, and then fill the remaining width with spaces. That way, when you change tab width, the alignment spaces will always start in the same column as the line they’re aligning to, regardless of the tab width.

Peanuts and dairy are usually possible to spot without checking the ingredients list, and they serve a distinct culinary purpose. They have valid reasons to exist, and are fairly simple, if a little annoying, to avoid.

HFCS does not serve a distinct culinary purpose (it’s pretty much just sugar but it benefits from corn subsidies), and is impossible to identify without careful scrutiny because it’s included in all sorts of foods that it has no business being in. The (purely financial) benefit it provides is far outweighed by its harm to public health.
