Insulin pumps (and their cannula; not a "needle") are installed 24/7. They can be "suspended" and the insulin delivery hose unhooked, but they are generally there, and active, at a…

That would make sense if you could meaningfully recycle filters, like you can glass bottles. This would end up being a false economy subsidy more than likely. No thanks.

This is an oft-repeated falsehood. The majority of cryptos I have looked at (the big, non-pre-mined ones in particular) are not and will not be for many, many years. They are disin…
