They've also sold personal massagers that were used as (and sometimes quietly designed as) sex toys for many years, too.

Stelo is basically just a consumer packaged version of the Dexcom G6, and in both cases they warn you to use a finger stick to verify unexpected readings. But finger sticks can be really inaccurate, too. For many diabetics it's not a life-or-death matter (only 1 in 4 type 2 patients end up using insulin), and the important thing is the trend over time.

I've personally found my CGM to be really useful in understanding the effect of diet, sleep, stress, etc. on my blood glucose, like the OP says, but you definitely get some weird readings sometimes. Yesterday a new unit told me that my blood glucose dropped below 70 for 2 hours. It definitely didn't! After a while it got itself straightened out in time to scold me for eating some corn chips.

What fad theories are you thinking of?

Maybe you should consider this evidence that gay people aren't a "protected class" in the first place.

No. Freedom of expression is a human right, not a privilege of citizenship.

Yes, you can get infections from poorly maintained CPAPs (or respirators -- are those a scam, too?) but that's not going to spread to your whole family.

I was in the hospital for a month and was specifically prescribed BiPAP while I was there. I was completely unable to tolerate it and the technicians sent up to adjust it for me did not know how to access the clinician settings -- they just fiddled with the patient-facing controls, which are very limited. These were people who I am sure have lots of experience working on respirators and oxygen, but at least three different people clearly had no idea how to begin adjusting a ResMed BiPAP. Eventually, I was strong enough to get out of bed and adjust the settings myself, and finally I could get a good night's sleep.

That is to say that I agree: basically nobody outside of sleep clinics seems to know how they work, and even they don't provide much more expertise than you can get from publicly available information and tools.

Your claim is that CPAP gave this person a _communicable_ chest infection, which was then cured by herbal medicine? How could that possibly happen unless your local distilled water supply was contaminated with tuberculosis bacteria?

1) People who are not fully awake often do things for no clear reason -- I regularly wake up finding that I have no memory of removing my mask after 2-5 hours.

2) If you're prone to nightmares, waking up with something covering your face that causes bizarre sensations when you try to breathe through your mouth or speak may disturb you enough to tear it off.

And there similarly was a market for relatively low-budget and/or pornographic and/or copyright-infringing computer games in western markets, it's just that people today find weird old ecchi VNs with anime art more interesting than weird old strip poker games with digitized photos.

People making money off of something doesn't make it not a disaster, obviously. Within the past month crypto's biggest headline has been its use in bribing the US president.

Feist didn't write the game, however.

How is the law targeting men? As far as I know, it's just as illegal for women to create and possess deepfake porn.

And, again: you do not need deepfake porn to have love and happiness, even an illusion of it. I personally think better of men than to think that a fake nudie pic of the neighbor's wife would be the keystone of their mental wellbeing. If anything is misandry, it's thinking of men as a bunch of sex-crazed gremlins.

1) Sukarno had less to worry about than a schoolteacher (like in the article), perhaps. Teachers can get fired for even a hint of scandal. 2) Victorian men loved porn, prostitution, etc. The "prudishness" of the Victorian era was enforced on women. Deepfakes are just part of the same long tradition of women being deprived of sexual agency and autonomy.
