I've read a lot (a LOT) of posts here and elsewhere that made me suspect I have ADHD. I made an appointment to get evaluated. Just curious about other people's experiences.

Hey all, I've been using the Omnipod 5 for 2 or 3 months now and I don't think it's going to work out. 4 or 5 times now, the cannula (the little tube that stabs into you) has fallen out, usually while I'm at my kickboxing class. When I woke up this morning, my blood sugar was high, the sticker that holds the pod on my arm was wet, and it smelled like insulin, so I thought it had fallen out in my sleep. Turns out it had started leaking and the whole fucking reservoir was empty. I'm pretty frustrated, I might just go back to using the pens.

Anybody had any similar experiences? Any other pump suggestions? As far as I know, the Omnipod is the only pump that doesn't have an exterior tube. I can't do tubes.

Edit: I'm really curious what that downvote was for.

I am of the age to have kids, some of my friends have them, but I have mixed feelings about it, just wondering about other people's experiences.

I've been shooting every now and then for the last 20-ish years and I'm a decent shot. I've shot a handful of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Leaning towards getting a pistol, not totally sure what I'd get. It would be for home/self defense but I like to go to the range sometimes. I'm considering:

• Some sort of 1911
• Ruger LC380 (is it even possible to get a CCW in CA?)

Any thoughts/recommendations?

First, a hardware question. I'm looking for a computer to use as a... router? Louis calls it a router but it's a computer that is upstream of my whole network and has two ethernet ports. And suggestions on this? Ideal amount or RAM? Ideal processor/speed? I have fiber internet, 10 gbps up and 10 gbps down, so I'm willing to spend a little more on higher bandwidth components. I'm assuming I won't need a GPU.

Anyways, has anyone had a chance to look at his guide? It's accompanied by two youtube videos that are about 7 hours each.

I don't expect to do everything in his guide. I'd like to be able to VPN into my home network and SSH into some of my projects, use Immich, check out Plex or similar, and set up a NAS. Maybe other stuff after that but those are my main interests.

Any advice/links for a beginner are more than welcome.

Edit: thanks for all the info, lots of good stuff here. OpenWRT seems to be the most frequently recommended thing here so I'm looking into that now. Unfortunately my current router/AP (Asus AX6600) is not supported. I was hoping to not have to replace it, it was kinda pricey, I got it when I upgraded to fiber since it can do 6.6gbps. I'm currently looking into devices I can put upstream of my current hardware but I might have to bite the bullet and replace it.

Edit 2: This is looking pretty good right now.

1st time printing with ASA and it's my largest print that doesn't have any straight lines. I typically only design things with straight lines, pretty pleased with how this turned out. Threw in a cactus to fend off the cats but fortunately they don't seem very interested. Printed on a Bambu X1 carbon with Polymaker ASA.
