    That sounds backwards. Shouldn't those with weakened immune response be first in line for the vaccine? The vaccine would give them a boost. Those with strong immune response have a…

    The problem (my opinion, not necessarily the op's) is using the cell phone number as the public id. An alternative id would promote better privacy. If Signal scales to even a fract…

    I reuse them until it becomes mildly discomforting at which time I know the lancet has dulled. Of course AccuChek prefers that you use it once;)

    Dominique Wilkins has type 2 diabetes. I would imagine his body fat is pretty low.

    I think there's a lot of confusion/ignorance with Type 1 and Type 2 and most people just lump them both under the same diabetes umbrella. Diet and exercise will never be enough for…

    I knew I had seen this somewhere else. I don't understand why C# doesn't support this since most C# code is mutable anyway. I can see why it doesn't fit well with functional langua…

    Technically speaking, C# does not have optionals so I don't think it can be argued that C# violates the patent unless it's generalized to include null propagation which operates on…

    one thing though, in swift you can actually mutate fields using optional chaining, e.g. person?.name = "Bob". you can't do that in c#. not sure about rust but in scala you would un…

    You can get novolin-n at Walmart for about $26 a vial without a prescription. I’m a type 1 diabetic and fallback to this when I’m unable to get a prescription.
