Please see my comment to OP.

Not necessarily that it’s producing none or not enough

If your body is producing “enough” then you don’t have diabetes, type 1 or 2. That’s where they are incorrect.

If your body is producing “enough” then you don’t have diabetes, type 1 or 2. That’s where you are incorrect.

Type 1/2 terminology came about before any understanding of the pathology. “Diabetes mellitus” specifically refers to glucosuria. Its a symptom of insulin deficiency - absolute (typical type 1) or relative (typical type 2). It’s like calling pneumonia “cough type 1” and lung cancer “cough type 2”.

When you say “not necessarily… not enough [insulin]” You managed to get wrong what diabetes is entirely - it is necessarily “not enough” insulin again whether type 1 or 2.

Regarding your question about autoimmune destruction of the pancreas- if it is happening but there is enough insulin to maintain glycemic control, then again it is not diabetes type 1 or 2. I’m not sure if there’s uniform widely accepted terminology for it but something like “pre-type 1” is reasonable for layman terms . You have to be careful though because there’s cases of folks who had an autoimmune response but it abated and they ended up not developing (type 1) diabetes.

Its better to think of diabetes as beta cell function (and insulin) +/- and autoantibodies +/-. That leads to 4 combinations, typical type 1 is -,+ and typical type 2 is +,- but the other combinations are like 10+ % of cases (mostly being +,+ as in many “typical” type 2s have some autoantibodies but still produce insulin).

The betting odds are 96% that they’ll debate. No need to sell a bridge, you stand to gain 25 to 1 if theres no debate. You are way off what the market predicts.

This may be helpful from a cost / gram of protein but its a bit misleading on the grams protein/ 100 g axis for beans - those are the dry bean numbers.

Game theory is a tough subject, but it would be worth it for you to study to understand how you are acting against your less preferred candidate and helping what should be your least preferred candidate (assuming your ranked choice has the republican nominee below the democratic nominee).

Keep voting for 99% … gets us to the same place

You make it seem as though your protest vote does not also get us to the same place? Many voters have shared your mentality and voted accordingly for the past 200+ years and it’s not made a difference, what makes you think this time things will change?

Looks like it just matches long term inflation, beats 2023 inflation. Win for workers.

During the observation period from 1960 to 2022, the average inflation rate was 19.0% per year. Overall, the price increase was 1.36 million percent. An item that cost 100 pesos in 1960 costs 1.36 million pesos at the beginning of 2023. For October 2023, the year-over-year inflation rate was 4.3%.

A June 2013 poll conducted by DPP showed an overwhelming 77.6% consider themselves as Taiwanese.[140] On the independence-unification issue, the survey found that 25.9 percent said they support unification, 59 percent support independence, and 10.3 percent prefer the "status quo." When asked whether Taiwan and China are parts of one country, the party said the survey found 78.4 percent disagree, while 15 percent agreed. As for whether Taiwan and China are two districts in one country, 70.6 percent disagree, while 22.8 percent agree

should have let him win

Actually made me laugh. Guys, democrats just need to let repubs win and not hold elected officials responsible for crimes in office, come on.

From the article:

Mohamed Shalleh had argued that a friend he owed money to had tricked him into believing he was delivering contraband cigarettes.

You support this man being executed? Per the article it was for 54 grams of heroin which the state claims is enough for:

600 users for a week

Which is a blatant lie and evidence the state resorts to falsehoods to justify its barbarism. 1/2 a gram a day is common for an addicted user, so this man was carrying (unknown to him) just over 100 doses.
