Was looking at a Pi 5 but was also considering the Jetson Orin Nano instead. The project would require it to be housed in a smaller box and it would function like an alexa controlling my smart home stuff, calculations, weather, etc...

Was just wondering what would be the best thing to get or if there is something else out there within this price range that would be better?

Had a phlebotomy session today and while I haven’t gotten an update on my iron from my specialist yet I have been keeping my hemoglobin levels monitored every session.

stupidly donated today when it was already lower than it should. I got some food to help compensate the low iron but curious what you guys do when it gets too low?

Keeping this stuff in balance has been interesting these last 9 months since I found out I have this.

Getting another year older in a couple days and it’s always been frustrating to me that as an external processor I can’t ever really share my thoughts of growing older and the revelations that come with that to older folks without instantly just getting “eh, you’re young” or “oh you’re SO old! I’m turning 78!”

The blatant dismissal just sucks ass and makes me think is it just me or our generation as a whole that is just left with no older folk advice or support?

I am about to either exchange it at the store or contact Leatherman. I have tried different lubricants and it just wont loosen up. My wave + didn't have this issue. I can still use them but just a bit frustrating to be working them back and forth and just getting nowhere.

Anything I should just try other than lubrication?
