Question: Doesn't a carb-free (carnivor/true keto) diets eliminate diabetes?
daydreamnation · 10 months ago
no. type one diabetics do not produce insulin. the immune system attacks insulin producing cells in the pancreas. there is no "elimination."

Ha My university (University of Florida) doesn't even keep it's graduation records. They have an error in my 30 year old graduation records but it has been impossible to fix because they don't maintain the records anymore, at some point they outsourced it to a 3rd party who is almost impossible to contact.

logging into a long dormant account to say i went to uf and there were hard copies of masters theses sitting on a shelf in the corner of one of my classrooms dated to the 70s. sounds about right for them to mess up.

In other news, $2100+ for a small unit is viewed as 'affordable' for grad students to UC Berkeley administrators. I know there's a rent crisis out that neck of the woods, but that's some quality lack of perspective.

it's insulting to have this called affordable

Am I the only person who thinks this is luxury?

> The modules are effectively ready-to-go 310-square-feet studio apartments with a bathroom, closets, a front entry area, and a main room with a kitchenette and sofa that converts to a queen-size bed. They come with flat-screen TVs and coffee makers.

Affordable my ass. They built these things to bilk young people out of more money because they know my generation and Gen Z grew up spoiled and have suburbanite parents that think nothing's too good for their son or daughter.

If I was going to university, and was serious about getting a worthwhile degree, the last thing on my mind would be TV, and why the hell would I want to blow so much money on a fancy studio that I'm going to use primarily for sleeping? I'd prefer something much more minimalist, perhaps even with community restrooms and showers. Give me a closet with a cot or even a hammock for all I care, so long as I don't have to waste even more student loan money on what's essentially nothing. Boy, we're sure spoiled these days.

I blame the parents, not the kids.

I agree on the affordable part- I live in a major college town being filled up by "luxury dorms" that are shoddily built and have cheap furniture stuffed in to the gills but are 725 a ROOM in a 6/6 apartment.

but I don't know, the tv is whatever in this age of cable cutting but after sharing a dorm bathroom with 40 plus people for one 16-week semester, even if i just come home to my apartment now some nights to sleep between work/class having my own space does wonders for my mental health.
