    Stelo glucose sensor experience

    https://www.stelo.com/en-us So my latest A1C test came back a bit high and my diabetic care nurse suggested that I order Stelo, which is made by Dexcom. This is a wearable sensor that you apply to your skin, it's active for 15 days and report your glucose level to the app (on your phone) every...

    College applications discussion

    Having a team sports background means you're physically fit and a team player. The military recruiter is less likely to receive an email like this: "SGT Volkin, I work out every day and I get straight A's in school. My fear about basic training isn't about my capabilities to fail; my fear is...

    College applications discussion

    I studied fencing back in college. There's an on-going joke today that when you visit local fencing school for kids, the coaches look Russian and the students look East Asian, with tiger moms looking to build college applications.

    Let's see... Bought META @ $500 Bought NVDA @ 99 My AMZN and GOOGL limit orders didn't hit today, will see what happens. As for Costco, although a recession would reduce consumer spending, their business model and target demographics makes them somewhat more recession proof. People who live...

    M4 Macbook Airs

    Is 116 Sunnyside reasonably priced at $1.80M?
