Short term either DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) or HHNS (Hyperglycaemic Hyperosmolar Non-ketotic Syndrome) both of which will put you in a coma in the ICU, and HHNS is more common in type II and puts DKA’s sugar readings to shame. I’ve seen photos of glucometers from ICU nurses with an error message that just says “HI” as in, this shit so wild the meter can’t read it.
The long term complications are both waaay worse and waaay more likely.
You can’t give glucose (sugar) through a peripheral (arm) IV when somebody’s on IV nutrition because the sugar crystals literally shred smaller veins, and your body not being able to control its own glucose will do the same thing. This is bad because there’s multiple central and far away parts of your body that rely on little veins.
First of all your internal organs rely on capillaries to bring blood to their individual units, no matter what those cells are doing. Kidneys are a common thing to fail, because those tiny capillaries are what feeds each one of their tiny little filter units.
Your kidneys will also see a lot of the sugar because when your sugar goes up your body will panic and start trying to dump it out in your pee. (That’s why uncontrolled diabetic pee looks syrupy, btw, and you might start getting bladder infections now that your pee could put southern us sweet tea to shame). Once your kidneys start failing it will start messing with your blood pressure in addition to the sugar crystals shredding your veins and all of your arteries and veins will start losing elasticity. This makes them more likely to both clog and burst from the pressure, either of which can cause strokes and heart attacks.
Your extremities on the other hand, especially your fingers and toes, rely on those capillaries to bring oxygen, nutrients, and if needed white blood cells to control infections. So the nerves in your fingers and toes will start dying and you’re lucky if they just go numb. Sometimes the nerves just decide that if they can’t feel a signal from a part they should just tell you it hurts all the time. That’s called neuropathy.
The other thing that will happen is your extremities won’t be able to heal wounds, and not only can they not fight off infections (the white cells can’t get through the shredded veins), but now your blood is also sugary and delicious to both bacteria and fungi. You’ll also be too numb/always in pain to even notice if you get a paper cut, stub or cut your toe, or even just get a sore from new shoes. So if you’re not constantly inspecting your toes for tiny cuts, by the time you even notice an injury it’ll be huge and infected. Gangrene and amputations are extremely common in uncontrolled diabetes. I’ve met numerous diabetics with bilateral above-the knee amputations because it got that far before they realized.
By the way, you’ll start having to pay for a podiatrist, like, a licensed medical doctor, just to cut your toenails. They’ll have to inspect every new pair of shoes you buy too since a sore on your heel can threaten your life now.
Even if you’re constantly inspecting your feet, eventually the blood supply will be so bad that the cells in your fingers and toes won’t be able to keep up and you just get sores anyway, and they’ll almost definitely get infected as described above.
Also, to cap this all off, you’re also gonna go blind. Those glucose molecules are also going to shred your retinas. Diabetes, being high blood sugar, affects everywhere the blood goes.
And because your body is constantly inflamed by both the infections and being shredded every day, you’ll be at extremely high risk for multiple inflammatory processes, particularly strokes. When my psych unit was briefly used for COVID-psych, I had a diabetic stroke out with 0 warning (oh also don’t catch COVID with uncontrolled diabetes that’s one of the biggest risk factors for it killing you or, more likely, permanently disabling you. I’m sure your parents will be much easier to deal with when they’re making fun of your slurred post-stroke speech).
Really had to do a double take. Like, what the fuck, the ocean is boiling, it can’t be that be that bad, right? Then it clicked that you’re using that weird Fahrenheit system.
Yes, sorry, it’s weird. Celsius is easy - water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 and there we go…
I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don’t really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It’s a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don’t know what this plant actually wants....

Well this is the most dystopian thing I’ve seen today. The RFK article alone is a single right leaning source quoted twice and does 0 analysis on any claim.
If you fundamentally believe quoting NBC and the NY post is useful as ‘both sides’, I think you’re a shame to your name, or beyond sheltered.
I’m not even endorsing it, but if you want at least a veneer of lefty opinions start with Jacobin, they’re the ideological opposite of Fox news if there is one. And even on the worst day the content is better sourced.
Quoting fox news and NPR is useful if you have something to add, or analyze, not scrape and then provide no direct quotes.
You want an actually useful AI project? Take every direct word from public speeches and fact check it from public/govt DBs.
Background: I was in high school (public) and our school just got back from quarantine, and had everybody to take a mandatory covid test every week. Our teachers rounded us up and these people swabbed and tested us. We didn’t sign anything, we didn’t ask for this, we were just told to line up and do it....
What year was it done? Up until recently it was federally required for all insurance to cover COVID tests, including rapid tests with NO copay.
In California insurance is still required to cover all COVID testing with no copay. But this doesn't apply if it is a private plan through your job for example.
Back in 2021 I had a urgent care clinic pull this shit, fighting to get me to pay $300 for a test and refusing me to give an itemized bill. That did not end well for them after I called my insurance and told them about that. Ended up paying them $0 and my insurance paid them like $7 cause it was a rapid test. I had anthem back when that happened.

Since that's a L17 player ability, I'm betting the point is that reducing to 0hp is generally more damage than (55) 10d10. So as a DM I'd rule it that it still takes you to 0 and doesn't do massive damage (instant kill)
I’ve been on lemmy.ml for a while but have not figured out how to join other instances of lemmy (like subreddits?). The couple of other groups ask for a login but my current login doesn’t work. I don’t know how to proceed or where to look for a guide. Thanks for any assistance.
In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you’ll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It’s just taking longer to find the community.
Dark energy is basically what we call a force that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the universe. Something is pushing spacetime itself to expand in all directions simultaneously, and that something isn’t accounted for by any other fields or forces.
There is a cosmological constant associated with dark energy, Λ (lambda). It represents energy density of dark energy across our universe. This is why the article (and the paper itself) mentions ΛCDM model — that’s the simplest dark energy model, where vacuum has constant energy throughout the universe and that’s what drives the expansion. There’s a special parameter w, which is a ratio of pressure to energy density of dark matter. It currently seems to be exactly -1, but different values of w yield different predictions for future fate of the universe.
What you need to know about w, is that if it’s exactly -1, it means that dark energy is indeed constant and the universe is going to continue to expand ever faster, ultimately headed towards Heat Death.
If it’s less than -1 (what’s called phantom dark energy), then the amount of energy somehow increases over time and we’re looking at the Big Rip scenario — the universe will eventually expand so fast that I’ll rip everything apart, even atoms. There’s some fun stuff that might happen if that’s the case, like boiling into a new big bang when trying to rip apart quarks (only works if there’s a lower matter energy state, I think), but that’s another topic and it’s highly speculative anyway.
And if it’s between -1 and 0, it means that dark energy decreases over time, and the expansion is going to slow down and eventually reverse, leading to a Big Crunch, and possibly Big Bounce, implying that the universe “beats” like a heart.
You can google Heat Death, Big Rip and Big Crunch to learn more.
Now, what the paper is suggesting (I think, I haven’t found/received the original paper yet to read it in full) is that recent JWST observations might turn out to be a piece of further evidence that the cosmological constant might not actually be constant, but more like some parameter that can change over time and space. That would kinda lower the importance of w, since the constant becomes parametrized and the “fate” can change in the future regardless. But it doesn’t remove dark energy in any way (it’s a phenomenon that demonstrably exists), just alters our understanding about how the universe operates.
Jeez that turned out to be a long comment. Hopefully my explanation wasn’t too convoluted :)

ich weiß schon wie zinsen funktionieren, mein kommentar hat eher auf den quatsch abgezielt den lindner immer labert von wegen "zinskosten gehen von 4 auf 40 milliarden*
das Ziel wurde nicht zurückgestuft sonst wären die zinsen ja nicht jahrelang bei 0 gewesen + QE. außerdem machts das ja nicht zu ner weniger politischen entscheidung wenn se von der EZB getroffen wird.
dazu kommt dass der zins ja offensichtlich absolut nutzlos ist was die inflationsrate angeht, das ganze sollte in der hand der Mitgliedsstaaten liegen die haben da viel mehr einfluss.
außerdem ist das ganze dann immernoch kein argument für die Sinnhaftigkeit der Schuldenbremse
Bought it on launch on Stadia (RIP) had 0 performance issues and loved every one of the 200+ hours I put in to it. I know that was a pretty unique experience compared to other folks issues at the time performance wise (0 crashes only some hilarious physics moments). But, it felt like the future streaming this beautiful, well crafted world on to my tv, laptop, phone or tablet. With Stadia shutting down it really was a moment of gaming that I’ll never get back. Honestly thought we were there for a minute.
Anyways, this was my pandemic game. Exploring Night City, there was some amazing views and I accumulated a few hundred screenshots. It was almost like digital tourism for me at a time when there was no travel happening anywhere. My only complaint after a few different playthroughs is, we deserved more Jackie dammit. That big bastard got the short end of the story stick.
Grandview seemed to do the best in clearly identifying the character 0. Is it an O, 0, I, l, or 1? Even without an example of O clearly visible in the sample text, the shape of 0 was very clear and seems like it should stand apart. Not the only reason to select a font, but it might be important to some.
I would definitely argue that Linux has good music software… But better? By what metric?
By the metric that windows is a closed box while linux can be tuned to be a much better machine to play and make music. Not having the possibility to route audio is a joke and an even bigger joke is using windows to play live with 0 control over what it does
This is correct. The natural numbers are better known as the counting numbers, and do not include 0 or the negative numbers. I personally think the classification is a bit bullshit given how they really only matter in meatspace. I have never seen the distinction between integers and natural numbers come up in real mathematics
Idk if you are trolling, but in most cases 0 is considered a part of the natural numbers. And there is a huge difference between the naturals and the integers: the naturals are for induction, the integers are for algebra.
