Seven deaths linked to malfunctioning glucose monitors

I felt like this article had more information and the product name, FreeStyle Libre 3, is right there in the link to maybe alleviate some anxiety or find the right users.

My cat is diabetic and I have to use these monitors for him. I got an email alert from the company about it on November 26. I didn't realize there wasn't an actual recall out yet.

News articles are great but I think direct info from the source is more important here, though all of the stuff above appears to be correct. For something as potentially impactful on peoples' health as this, I think the barrier to getting to the information should be as low as possible.

This is the official website to use to check serial numbers. It has the tool to check and full instructions on locating the serial. There is also an FAQ page.

for people who are unfamiliar with how a faulty glucose monitor can cause someone to die:

Some FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors may provide incorrect low glucose readings, prompting incorrect treatment decisions for people with diabetes. When a diabetic's blood sugar (AKA glucose) is low, they may do things to make it higher or prevent it from getting lower, like skipping or delaying an insulin dose (which is used to lower blood sugar) or eating too many carbohydrates, which raises glucose in the body. These treatment decisions based on incorrect readings could cause blood sugar to be improperly controlled, resulting in serious complications and health risks, including injury or death. Some common complications of mismanaged blood sugar in diabetics include diabetic ketoacidosis, heart disease or attack, stroke, kidney, nerve or eye damage, and increased risk of infection.

okay, let's actually do this properly

Hey all, our game Daybreak Hearts is now in semi-open beta! You can access it here, although it's password protected to make sure it doesn't hit the front page yet. The password is "Ketanso".

Daybreak Hearts is a tactics RPG that uses gameplay as a vehicle for storytelling. It's broadly about connections, the challenge but necessity of forming them in a world that hates you. Each level features a different pair of characters, and explores their dynamic both mechanically and in writing. Here's the three duos at play:

-A magical teenager and her overbearing guardian -Two girlfriends with opposite emotional needs -The mom friend and the guy who refuses to be mothered

The game's still in development, and a lot could change, including the story! But I'm proud of what I've made so far, and I hope that by showing it to you, I can make it even better!

That said, I am kind of terrified of doing this. It is a uniquely vulnerable position putting a game like this in the public eye, so below the cut is some boundary-setting you should read if you're going to give feedback.

Feedback and criticism are very welcome, I'll listen to as much of it as I can! However, I decide how to respond to it. What you want the game to be might not match my vision.

I put myself into my work, inevitably for a game like this, but don't assume you know me personally by playing this game, especially an early build.

Remember I am human (among other animals, but you get it). Please do not treat me like a corporation or a machine for producing content.

[nightmargin]

I'm (formally) announcing my next game very soon!

The teaser trailer will premiere tomorrow, May 14th at 3PM PT

Top Surgery Scars for RPGMaker Generator by gensuta

rpgmaker top surgery scars for free 99

Hi everyone! I recently just made a small asset pack for RPGMaker since I saw there weren't any free top surgery scar packs out there yet for the Character Generator!

They're mainly good for MV/MZ but it should be pretty easy to get them into Game Creator Hub / VX Ace I hope. Either way, if you need any help getting this set up in your version of RPGMaker feel free to comment on itch.io ^-^ Also, I'm currently raising funds to make sure me and my partner don't get evicted so if you do have funds to spare, this asset pack is PWYW, but will always be free for all who need it! My ko-fi is also here in case people want to donate directly https://ko-fi.com/gensuta/goal?g=22 Thanks so much and hope you enjoy <3

If you would like to change that, call your reps cuz there’s a new bill that raises the limit from $2,000-10,000 for single people and $5,000-20,000 for couples and it’s bipartisan.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

discord as a filehost will no longer be possible by the end of the year

if you haven't noticed, copying a link for a file now appends special parameters to the end. these are a request signature, which indicates a specific request for that file. this request will expires after a few hours, so files will no longer be permanently available through a specific url.

while they are not currently necessary to view the file, they will be by the end of the year, assuming nothing changes.

please check that any websites you rely on are not hosting files through cdn.discordapp.com, and if they are, please archive those files through the IA using web.archive.org/save

thank you for your time

i think it’s very disappointing how much i see mae drawn skinny. the majority of nitw art i see depicts her as such, despite her describing herself as round in game. it’s a dialogue option that you literally can’t miss since the mirror scene is unavoidable

you can choose the other option, but you still see this one regardless of what you pick. mae is ROUND. this means she is NOT skinny. i guess some would argue that because her arms and legs are smaller that she is, but that’s literally just because of the game’s artstyle. EVERYONE is depicted that way, so it doesn’t change the fact that she is fat

another piece of dialogue describes her as “sturdy.” being a chubby person myself, this is literally what my mom called me when i was little. it’s really upsetting to see a character i love and relate to so much misrepresented this way when she is canonically built like me. it’s already rare to see good representation of fat people, so erasing the ones we get doesn’t help

next time you draw mae please try to keep this in mind. and to everyone who draws mae chubby already, i love you forever and always. thank you
