@kdfrawg that's called a subsidy. Happens in many industries. There's something on your site that will let you get the meter for free, even!

@kdfrawg the scary thing is that it's cheaper to buy a new meter (this was less than $6) than it is to buy the batteries in the meter…

@kdfrawg they are somewhat better, but I don't get free refills on those.

There is not enough coffee to deal with today.

@matigo this one is "bluetooth enabled" but for whatever reason they didn't decide to hook it in with HealthKit. Which is kinda annoying…

New blood glucose meter. The #bgnow result is great, too.

@kdfrawg I've done that in the past and it's still like drinking battery acid.

@kdfrawg Don't remind me. :P

I know the brewed coffee is not drinkable without mass quantities of heavy cream.

I'm trying to cut back on my heavy cream consumption. Fortunately iced coffee at Starbucks is drinkable without it. Wonder how that will work in the winter.

Today I realized I've basically been a forum/mailing list admin on and off for 30 years, starting with BBSes. That's… kinda frightening.
