You have to upgrade between day 60 and day 90. Typically if day 90 falls on a holiday, it is delayed by a day. If you want to prevent it, upgrade before day 90… not sure why you’re waiting for the last min. If you’re doing it the same weekend as July 1, you won’t get the certification to upgrade the next day anyways, they typically give you it a week later.

Depending how wide that hole is inside, maybe you could use a 1/2” woodruff cutter to get it started then get the full undercut with a fly cutter.

What did the ER say? Did you ask them questions what you should do until the appointment?

Instant oatmeal, variety flavour packets. Sidekick dinners are my go to favorite. Bonus bring some cheese to throw in them and experiment with 2 flavors mixing together. Golden grill dried potatoes. Hot dogs are so full of preservatives I’ve left a pack out of the fridge for over a week and they were still good (don’t test that). 

There’s only so much anyone can do to inspect it for road worthiness. If it looks ok how else are they supposed to know? You wanted them to stress test it? Are they supposed to be able to see a small nail on the road? Are they supposed to wait at the side of the road with a flat while they invoice you to make a decision if they should replace it? You pay for boat storage and launching, not maintenance. 

I get why you’re upset, it sucks and its costs a chunk. But shit happens. If I were you, I’d simply pay the invoice and chalk it up as a loss. Take the trailer to be inspected and serviced, replace the other tire too and be glad your boat is fine and it’s just a flat tire.

You said they did inspect it and it looked “full and sturdy”

I think it’s clearly A. 

Automatic tool changing does not use tool compensation. It has a tool length capacity and you cannot go over that length when tool changing (unless the engineer has me use a grinder to cut a slot into the machine to “make it work”).

While worded poorly, manually changing the old tool to a new tool (same tool/geometry) uses compensation to adjust the tooling geometry during the cutting operation as one tool is never the same as the next, and uses offsets to compensate for the difference to achieve the same cut. 

Haha honestly I did the same with university and I think many people do. I wouldn’t say it was a waste because I learned how to critically think and problem solve. But I love what I do now.

My advice is to try your best to find an apprenticeship before going to school separately. You’ll go to school anyways during an apprenticeship and those pre-app programs don’t guarantee anything coming out. Many people find it just as difficult after doing the programs. Talk to unions, employers, whatever works. Going to school for experience is ok as a last resort but most employers don’t care so much, they want to see experience working or doing things similar. Depending on the field, things like “I fixed ___ on my own car” or “I built ___” even help. They want to see you’re willing and like doing physical work because that’s what it is. Mention you have a degree but don’t focus on it or they’ll assume you’re more interested in academics than trades.

I work industrial millwright and electrical. I’ve worked with 2 women, they both enjoy what they do. I’m sure they’ve faced some pushback for being women sometimes (unfortunately) but not debilitating. You get what you put into it and they do well. 

Unfortunately you don’t have experience in the field which will be difficult to apply to apprenticeships when you’re experience is as a receptionist… quite a field switch. Pre apprenticeship programs are pretty shitty with no guaranteed work after but it is a way to get some “experience” if you don’t have other options. Not having a vehicle is only an issue for jobs that require it. Some jobs may provide a vehicle, some are within range of public transportation. It really varies what you’re doing. 

The best way to do it is to find someone/a company willing to bring you on as an apprentice and they send you to school. That may involve working as general labor first to get a foot in the door and to prove you will stay during an apprenticeship. Coming from a receptionist and university, you’ll have many people doubt that you’re serious enough to stick it through. But if you can get enough experience to prove it is what you want, companies love bringing on a varied work force ie women in the trades. 

Lots of things that that could account for the results but that’s also typical of cohort studies. Theyre cheap studies used to identify potential links for prospective studies. 

I agree, very unlikely high physical activity, maybe moderate that they consider to be “high”.  

Let’s not forget over 60% of study users were overweight or obese

I fully believe this was not quite an accident. With recent events this is too good of a coincidence. As soon as I read his helicopter crashed I thought for sure he’s dead for one reason or another. And the weather conditions were bad enough to take blame which is exactly what someone would want. It just wreaks of something not quite right. But it is what it is either way. We can argue natural or conspiracy, it doesn’t really matter. Just IMO

Calm down he is clearly not hurt. It bounced off his chest at the padded sweater

Dam you a professional PI or what? 

Nice! Glad you resolved it without escalating 

I would grab this info and respond to the landlord in a friendly manner with something along the lines of “I was doing my taxes and an accountant friend was reviewing it and helping me out but advised me I need a receipt that conforms to the following and contains all the following information on a single document. Can you please provide this receipt?”

Open alcohol containers can be stored in the trunk out of reach. Or else you could also be charged with returning empties without fully cleaning them. Stop giving wrong advice. 

If the passenger is in the car with the alcohol then it is not automatically yours. To reduce any trouble, always keep alcohol, open or closed containers, in the trunk. “In a separate compartment out of reach”. The passenger must be present with the alcohol at all times (it is their alcohol…). 

My ratios are just what I’ve noticed over time. I’ve read it may be from higher fat intake around Christmas time but it usually lasts for me until spring/summer. When I left for my trip I was 1:3 and now after, I’m 1:5. Just funny things.

Adapting is certainly the key. It’s much much easier now with the sensors that give constant readings vs testing every 4 hours! Before the sensors I would have to let it run even higher and just feel for the lows. For a temporary trip, high sugar is far less a concern compared to going too low in the middle of nowhere or running out of carb sources from chasing so many lows. If I’m active and moving, I worry less about it being high. When we settle for the evening or in the morning before doing stuff, I work on correcting it back within range. I think lots of water helps your body achieve equilibrium too, which carb free drink mix like MIO certainly helps. 

Normal I take 1 unit for 3g carbs in the winter, 1:5g carbs in the summer. On the trip I was taking 1:20g carbs, sometimes 1:10g depending on the trends. 

While on the move, it bounces anywhere from 5 to 15. The libre sensor is really nice to watch how it trends. I can’t say I ever get nauseous from having high sugars but usually my issue is running low when I’m doing that much activity. I can certainly feel the highs above 9 with dry eyes and mouth. Do you normally get nauseous from highs or could it be nauseous from something else like water that hasn’t been treated properly or food?

Normally I take 20 units of Tresiba and 1:3g meal ratio of Fiasp, 1:1 for correction. When I tripped I ended up lowering it to 10 units and 1:10g or 1:20g meal ratio. It’s important to watch how your body reacts and adjusting for it next time. A good chunk of my snacks were used in the first days figuring out where my body was. At night it would creep up but during the day it would always trend down. Mornings were 1:20g and 1:2 correction. In the evenings it liked to drop consistently. If I ran a low after supper, I would eat more (instant noodles 50g or hot chocolate 20g later in the evening) but not give any insulin. It usually took something like 2-3 hours after travel for my sugars to stabilize and trust it.

The worst was a 3km portage with double backing. I did not take any mealtime, 60g oatmeal breakfast + 80g sidekicks right before the portage. I spiked very high, above 20, but I knew it was going to plummet from intense activity and I was sitting at a 5 at the end. I think I barely have insulin at supper that night while chasing the down trend.

I pack lots of fruit gummy packs (Mott’s fruitsations) because they’re compact and react fairly quick and granola bars or celebration cookie packs to chase them. Probably 5 each per day, I think I came home with 10 each. My emergency is Tang drink mix, a box from the store has 3 packs in it that each have 90g/pouch. It’s also all sealed so after also keeping them in ziplocks, I worry much less about bears and animals at night. Some smaller meal snacks were instant noodle packs. Variety instant oatmeal for breakfast. Hot chocolate mix packs at night for an extra yummy boost. Sidekicks for dinner. Lots of water so your body can filter it all out. MIO drinks are nice to help get more water in you. 

I’ve done several. Type 1 for something like 18 years. Just did a 5 day solo trip two weeks ago. I don’t mind discussing it but I don’t know how many people would agree with the way I do it. It’s certainly adapting to the situation and I let my sugars run higher than normal.
