 2023: we all want it to be better. COVID will  and say no, I'm here to stay.EASY predictions: STR will have at least a couple of massive meltdowns and wind up in the hospital at least twice (probably for at least one detox session). We're gonna lose more people to COVID. I got the elephant out of the room, someone else can do the rest. Seriously why did it take so long to get a 23 thread going aside from the two white elephants? We all know STR is beyond broken, Rhyno is still worth saving at the moment (even though it'll be nearly Feb before he can rejoin us). We all know this is a US-centric forum, so the typical "keep your loving politics out of my loving polytics" poo poo applies (but outside stuff is always welcomed and encouraged). Most gun stuff goes into TFR. Head into D&D for debate. I'm sure you can find a forum for most other stuff, this is primarily for us AI nerds to scream into the void. Please remember this is an international forum - just because you think your Ford is best vehicle ever doesn't make it any better than a Trabant! (in fact I will argue a Trabant is better than most Fords...) Just respect each other, agree to disagree, and party on, bros.  The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing. edit: we can still talk about foreskins too, if we absolutely have to. I know that was A THING in the 2022 thread, and if there's one thing the internet has taught me, it's that someone that's been snipped can... uh... regrow. And a note from the AI mods for you to consider -

Hopefully not as dour as STR's overview, but I don't think he's too far off...

Yesterday the Subaru dealer saved me from doing something stupid by telling me that the order books for BRZs were closed for MY2023 In the meantime, I guess I'll look into a gaming laptop and VR headset for iRacing to make use of the G29 + Playseat Challenge sitting in a closet

Woke up to a message not in my contacts that started out with “sorry to message early but this is girls name and I felt on my heart I needed to send this…” Hey maybe someone has come to their senses and a girl is going to chase me nice 2023! No…oh no. It is my best buddy’s new fiancée who he just bought a house with for them and his THREE kids - she’s telling me his drinking is out of co trim and she is going to leave him if he doesn’t stop TODAY. I just messaged back I support that and will do whatever and I know he loves you and his kids more than anything but you can’t stop drinking after 25+ straight years cold turkey. Sigh…this was not hidden or a secret…she supported it just fine until they are done moving in the house then she expects someone to change? This is going to not be good

Happy New Year, goons! This morning I finished this LEGO my family got me after about four sessions. I couldn’t really sit still at the table and do it all at once due to my hip, but it was pretty nice taking it slow.

Goddammit it, Woke to find my van had been tossed. Luckily they couldn't get into the back where all my tools were, but they stole all my jackets, a few measuring tools and my dash cam. OH and my phone chargers. Hope the couple of bucks of crack you Fuckers get was worth it.

I think I need a project car in my life, without one I seem to be turning my summer daily into a project... Ended up buying some nice parts and itching to install them once they, first, arrive, and second, it warms up enough to work outside again.

gently caress dude, you okay? Need some insulin? I'd give you an old pump I have but you'd have to get your own supplies and that poo poo isn't cheap.

I'd start at https://www.uship.com I can't vouch, since it's a bidding site and you don't know what carriers are going to bid, but with multiple cars, someone with a 3 car trailer or car carrier would be interested.

Mustache Ride posted:gently caress dude, you okay? Need some insulin? I wouldn't know what to do with insulin or a pump, TBH - I'm on metformin and glyburide, never done my own insulin (I've had it when in a hospital though), and my insurance won't cover a pump ("experimental treatment"  , same with a CGM). I was going to hit up an ER if I couldn't get it below 300 by now, but I took the maximum daily dose of glyburide (20mg, spread across about 8 hours) and it came down to ~275 after a few hours (now at 230). Just gonna have to keep an eye on it all day, if it spikes again I'll go get an insulin drip (and if it drops too low, I have glucose tablets and ice cream).It always gets whacky when I'm sick, but I've only seen it this bad when I had covid. My normal fasting is around 100-120. Haven't had poo poo for an appetite for several days, but also been feeling too lovely to check it daily. Recognized early signs of DKA last night.

Just be careful and check it every hour so you don't go too low with the glyburide. I don't know poo poo about it though, I'm a type 1, and I always thought you type 2 guys got the shaft with the technology.

Why is selling a car to a deal still such a loving nightmare? Hour 2 of sitting around waiting for the check after agreeing to a price and dealing with GM Financial. At least I brought drinks and snacks this time.
