Without the protection of a union, "just saying no" is a good way to get fired

It's not actually that hard, most companies are morally superior to Meta. Even the other evil ones.

Also on the Omnipod, and I also always travel with both extra pods AND extra insulin pens (basal and bolus insulin). That way I can switch back to MDI if for whatever reason my pods fail or I can't use them.

I'm on a pump but always take backup insulin pens and needles when I travel, so that I can switch to MDI if needed. My QOL with a pump is so much better than it was with a decade+ of MDI.

I'm trying to convince myself. But then it's just one more thing that the medical community is gatekeeping (you didn't book your followup appointment in time, so you're treated as if you're no longer in life-threatening danger of hyperglycemia is a reality for me, because I have a hard time with medical appts).

We really need some version of "permanent prescriptions" for insulin. Not OTC, because then insurance doesn't cover it, but infinitely renewable, so you don't have to go see an endo just to continue living.

Yes, I used to carry scripts for insulin and needles in my wallet just in case. NY implemented all bbut mandatoery eprescribe so I feel I have to use a national chain so my script can be seen if I'm traveling. And yes the notion a script for Insulin can be stale is truly insane. Of course regular checkups are best especially with being insulin dependent, but with 2 million T1D just in the USA this is just bad for everyone.

I think I'm actually going to go talk to my congressperson/senator/anybody who will listen. It's such an insult, that I have to go to an endo, who in my case probably knows some technical ephemera better than I do, but has done absolutely nothing to help keep me alive besides write prescriptions.

Like didn't even warn me of the dangers of hypoglycemia. After I nearly went comatose one time, "oh yeah, we have glucagon you can get if you'd like a prescription". Which is cool after you've been passed out in front of a restaurant, with people looking at you like they're going to hit you with narcan.

One of my secret terrors is getting narcaned by a cop.

AI makes code maintenance harder

Another option is just not using an LLM at all.

Go to a town 1000 miles away as part of your job without using a travel device at all, like a car or a train.

I mean you can, sure, and doing so will produce a journey filled with experiences, but no business would operate like that and stay in business.

That is the future of jobs where thinking is the work.

Businesses are going to regret going all in on AI. It'll take a couple more years before the cracks start to show.

Thank you, I was confused reading the comment above, because the article pretty clearly laid out the benefits and drawbacks of the system. I didn't see any idealizing.

This isn't true at all

DXM is also the active ingredient in the antidepressant Auvelity (combined with bupropion)

Lot of interesting studies and anecdotes on its efficacy as an antidepressant

A small dose of DXM boosts the effectiveness of Wellbutrin by 10x or so. It's not an antidepressant itself. It's a dissociative and cough suppressant.

This is incorrect. DXM is the active ingredient in Auvelity. Bupropion is included because it inhibits the enzyme that breaks down DXM quickly. The bupropion boosts the effectiveness of DXM as the primary antidepressant, NOT the other way around like you're suggesting.
