Pesmerga posted:This isn't quite true - my dad is type 2, and he would go hypoglycaemic every so often, usually if he'd continued to take his medication but had been particularly busy and hadn't got around to eating/drinking anything. Warning signs were him being very pale and sweaty, and if left for much longer, HUGE irritability and anger over irrational things/reasons, or conversations that didn't make any sense. I'll attest to those being the symptoms of hypoglycaemia, at least for me. The non-physical symptoms vary because the effects of low blood sugar are very similar to being blackout drunk.

Warning signs were him being very pale and sweaty, and if left for much longer, HUGE irritability and anger over irrational things/reasons, or conversations that didn't make any sense. Depends on whether they're on insulin tbh. Very unlikely though perhaps possible occasionally on oral medication like metformin. Doubtful Abbot is on insulin if she's only been diagnosed a few months. If she was hypoglycemia then sure thst would account for it. High blood glucose on the other hand can cause tiredness and thirst and blurred vision but it would have to be pretty loving persistent to get to that level. And even then it shouldn't have any cognitive impact short term. My issue isn't with Abbot because I agree that it's being blown out of proportion and we all have off days, I just get wound up when people use diabetes as an excuse because it brings both the insufferable 'LOL FAT MAYBE LAY OFF THE CAKE' and equally annoying 'oh the poor sick dear how vulnerable' types out. I get frustrated because the media always wilfully misunderstands the nature of the condition and people using it to excuse themselves directly contributes to oversimplified and often plain wrong attitudes to it. I'm probably just bring precious but obviously it's a topic I have a personal investment in. ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Jun 22, 2017 |

You have to admit Abbott was something else during Corbyn's speech. If you followed her eyes then she was staring unwaveringly at Boris without breaking contact and continually mouthing stuff like sit down, put your hand down, shut up, at him.

josh04 posted:Ah sweet, an excuse to post all the videos of bees I filmed out of my window at the beginning of the month. Between 12 and 6pm they were just methodologically working over this one bush which leans into my back garden. Since it got really really hot I haven't seen them out. Bees are p cool. A while back an absolutely enormous queen of (I believe) Bombus Subterraneus flew into my apartment. One of these but very gigantic, thought she was a giant hornet at first glance  Just gave me the once-over and flew out like she was all "yeah cool apartment dude thanks lol but no". Bumblebees don't give a gently caress. Also apparently some idiot british thieves are stealing fifty Swedish Bombus Subterraneus queens every year to release in britain because you've destroyed all of their habitats. Thankfully Brexit will put a stop to that particular immigration

The government has said that 600 high rise buildings are covered in flammable cladding. The residents haven't been informed. We're going to need EU labour to remove all the cladding and install sprinklers.

DesperateDan posted:What times of day were you looking? I planted a load of wild flowers in the far corner of my garden (mainly because I assumed they wouldn't need much in the way of care) and there's always at least once big fat bumble bee doing her thing around them, and last night when I went out to water them there were six or seven obviously enjoying the evening coolness. Didn't have the heart to chase them off with an artificial rain storm.

learnincurve posted:Because we worked out the connection between bee murder and Nicotine based pesticides and banned them. Bare in mind that there are now over 500 peer reviewed papers and reports that prove this connection, and the people with a vested interest in these pesticides keep on rolling out the same few pet scientists with their bullshit "evidence". Kinda weird that places that haven't banned neonicotinoids are also seeing their honey bee colonies thrive. Also A+ understanding of the scientific method in your post.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:It's more that having a hard border violates the GFA. If so it'll be amended. Somehow I don't think Gerry's going to dig up his armalite because a tangential aspect of the GFA has to be changed to reflect the new situation. The GFA has already accomplished its purpose. Nationalists have their seat at the table, policing, housing and employment are not massively discriminatory. The troubles aren't coming back.

Yeah dissidents don't have anything approaching popular support and SF is not going to launch a policy volte face to reembrace physical force republicanism and abandon the consent principle as it would destroy their position in the Dail and their greater goal of becoming the legitimated elected government.
