I'm so over Google Messages. Multiple group text chains aren't working properly. Some people get the text, some don't.

Pics cropped. If they even go through. Sent a pic to my wife this morning and wouldn't go through no matter what I tried.

Inconsistent, unreliable.

Ridiculous.

So frustrated. Last year I was diagnosed prediabetic via fasting glucose and an A1c of 5.7. So I made a lot of changes. Went low carb. Exercise daily, minimum 12k steps and weight training. Cut out sweets. Started taking apple cider vinegar. Get decent sleep. Alcohol only on weekends.

I'm 6'1, 160 M.

Every morning my finger prick glucose is over 100, and lately it's been 110+, so actually trending worse.

I'm just so damn frustrated. I can't really do much more. It's been a year of this and it's worse?? WTF is that?

I might as well say fuck it, eat what I want and go on meds. Sigh.

Can't do polling, can't delete or edit a message after the fact, can't send a picture that doesn't get cropped... Garbage text app. How can it possibly be so terrible?

I get tons of ads on my social media for these caps because I bought a few over the years but every time I click on one that I like it's out of stock like 90% of the time. How does a company constantly have no stock?

Is there no way to send a poll to a group chat?

Does Tony's justification/rationalization of murder almost make sense in a weird way? He explains to Melfi that being in the Mafia is a choice and everyone that decides to be in that life has made an active decision and knows the stakes. He describes them as soldiers, who kill based on rules and a code. Obviously, murder is never ok but in the warped world of organized crime doesn't this kinda make sense?

Question on why a package would take a particular route. Two days ago the package arrived in my hometown and sat there for a day before being sent to a different UPS distribution center in a nearby town where it is now sitting. Why would it arrive in my hometown only to go to a different town and now is scheduled to be delivered next week?

Recently I've ordered a few baseball cards that need to be authenticated for their autographs and they are getting sent across the country to California. I live on the east coast and the cards that I ordered were also on the East Coast so I find it odd that they're going all the way to California and then all the way back to me. Is there only one authentication center for eBay? Seems nuts to not have an East Coast hub.

Can anyone explain why Lexus has a "build" button on their website that does absolutely nothing except send my info to the nearest dealer?

Why wouldn't Lexus want to allow customers to order a vehicle, secure financing, etc online? Why do vehicle manufacturers insist on utilizing a dealership? I hate dealerships and don't want to deal with their nonsense. The entire process is so stupid. I'm literally trying to give them $90k, why make it difficult?

Ok I know this will upset people on here but I gotta ask... Does this show get better? I started watching because I watched Widow's Bay and loved Matthew Rhys in it and then saw he was in the Americans, which had amazing ratings. So a couple weeks ago decided to start watching. I'm just about done with season 1 and I'm just not getting into it. The show is fine I guess, decently written and ok pacing. But I'm just not at all getting hooked. I don't like Keri Russell in the role, it just isn't believable. At times the writing is not great. I dunno, I was expecting more based on the threads here and other viewers reviews. So, does it get better or is it just not for me?

I ordered a $200 item from eBay. It was shipped USPS and no signature required. Tracking via eBay doesn't show delivered but the tracking number shows "Your item was delivered to a neighbor as requested at 10:39 am on July 11, 2026" when I click tracking. One, it hasn't been delivered. And 2, I never requested it to be delivered to a neighbor, nor would I.

So now what? Contact the post office I guess but is it lost? How does something like that happen without me requesting it?

For those that have used a CGM can you recommend which one you used if it was accurate? The ones on Amazon have terrible ratings including the one by dexcom Stello. Lingo also has terrible ratings mostly because of accuracy. So anyone have a recommendation where it was accurate? Kinda pointless if it's off by 20 points.

Ever since Google health took over the tracking of running distance is way off. I run 3 miles everyday and it was always tracked appropriately before the switch and now my runs are getting under valued by a lot (between half mile and .75). I know how far the runs are and while the time run is correct the distance is not. Anyone else notice this? Very annoying.

If I eat every 2 to 3 hours (healthy meals plus healthy snacks) am I not keeping my glucose elevated all day and essentially causing insulin resistance? My fasting glucose is always around 100. Then I have breakfast. Lunch a few hours later. Snack a couple of times before dinner. Then dinner. So basically my BG never gets a "break". Do I need to fast to allow it to dip? I've always eaten small frequent (healthy) meals and snacks but maybe that's causing prediabetes?

Feeling frustrated. Last year I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes with an A1C of 5.8. I made some drastic lifestyle changes including working out everyday and eating much cleaner. I'm happy to say my A1C came down to 5.5 at my last test and my finger prick test have been really good. But last night I decided to have some pasta and a little piece of dessert and this morning I wake up with a fasting glucose of 107. Like seriously wtf? I just want to be able to eat pasta once in awhile without fucking up my glucose Is that too much to ask? Stupid diabetes.

I live in NE US and it's been up and down with weather. Hot days and cool nights, cold days, cold nights, etc.

I have a 1 year old in ground pool about 20k gallon. It has an auto cover and we've been heating it.

Last summer I don't recall topping it off very often but this year I've run the hose each week about 2 hours each time.

I measured and am losing about 1/8 inch a day.

That seems high with an auto cover. I don't see any water anywhere including around any of the equipment.

I keep the cover closed when not using the pool including at night.

Does it sound like a leak? And yes I will do the bucket test just wanted to get opinions.
