Does smoking cause diabetes?
Thanks. I agree that feeling shitty was my normal. I didn't have insurance for a long time and then when I finally got it, I was so used to the feeling I didn't even think to go get checked out for anything. Of course I had just converted from a consultant to full time employee a couple weeks before so I was between insurances when this happened. Not really looking forward to seeing how much the hospital trip is going to cost me. The scariest part was after we got my blood sugar in check, my vision got so bad I had to pick up a pair of 3x reading glasses to even be able to see the TV. Thought ...

Does smoking cause diabetes?
I have Type 2 Diabetes. I'm assuming my blood sugar was so high because before I was admitted to the hospital, I was feeling so dehydrated that in 12 hours I drank a gallon of milk, 3 32oz powerades, 5 cans of pop and about 20 glasses of water.

Does smoking cause diabetes?
Probably more than you wanted to know. The definition of Diabetes is having High Blood Sugar levels. Type 1 means your body is unable to produce insulin. Insulin helps convert glucose in your blood stream to energy. Type 2 diabetes is caused by being overweight and eating more carbs than your body can keep up with. Having too low of blood sugar is called Hypoglycemia. About a month ago, I ended up in the hospital and was diagnosed with diabetes and I have been a daily pot smoker for almost 20 years. Luckily, my body has reacted well to the medications and change in diet. My blood sugar was ...

Guys whose WAR is surprisingly HOF-worthy
No doubt. According to , Kirby Puckett was a below average OF. In the 7 season stretch that he won 6 gold gloves, he was -1.0 cumulative dWAR. I'll believe my eyes over those numbers.

App making
I'm guessing TDoodle just worded this poorly (at least I hope that is the issue). I think he meant don't say go learn to code but rather give him some tips on how to learn to code. Like what software he should be downloading, if there are any good tutorials on the process, etc. The answer to that question is that it is going to depend on your target audience. You will want to either create an iPhone app or Android app to begin with as trying to learn both at the same time would be more work than a beginner could reasonably be expected to accomplish. There is some software that will allow you ...

39.6 percent tax rate!!
That may be true. But I'd like to see them complaining about how it's used instead of how much they are taxed. It really doesn't matter how high we raise taxes right now it's still not enough to cover the expenses.

39.6 percent tax rate!!
I would never suggest everyone should be equal otherwise no one at all would have reason to work hard. But the payscale for the top of the chain is growing out of control. Just because you can find another unskilled worker capable of doing the same work isn't a good enough reason to not pay a liveable wage. There is no reason a company should be making $40+ billion in profit in a year. Either charge less for you products making them more affordable for more people and/or pay your employees better.

Is Tony Hawk a bad parent?
Our society is so overprotective these days it is sick. I never wore a helmet riding a bike as a kid and had plenty of wipeouts and injuries. Accidents happen. I wouldn't force my kid to wear a helmet because there is a one in a million chance they might need it to save their life.

How's your high school football team doing this season?
My school started 5-0 and is ranked 3rd in the state. They were just forced to forfeit the first 2 games of the season for having had an ineligible player play. So, officially their record is 3-2 now.

IRL help - Work Review
Did you look up average pay for your position' How does your pay compare to that' 10% is a pretty dang good raise unless you were vastly underpaid compared to your peers. Even then, you've only been doing this for a year (unless you had prior experience doing the same thing). The biggest raises usually come when you get promoted or leave for a new job.

Diablo 3
Needing the latest service pack for your OS is what hurts me. Trying to install service pack 2 for Vista 64 fails for me. I've tried every solution I could find online without success. Guess I'll have to play on my laptop until I can get Windows 7 installed on my desktop.

(web page guys help plz) Help creating a fahrenheit to celsius converter using java
Hateflops code works if you just need a temp converter on a single page. Is it required that that clicking submit or whatever causes a page reload' If yes, you'd have to use the url parser to check if there is a parameter. If there is then you display the converted temp, if not then display the textbox and buttons for submitting a temperature. If you really want to learn this, I suggest following tutorials. It isn't that hard to modify the code that they provide to come up with working solutions. You're next assignment will be harder to do if you don't learn this one.

(web page guys help plz) Help creating a fahrenheit to celsius converter using java
Make page 1 verify the value and display an error if it isn't a valid entry. In the case of a valid entry then pass the entry onto the second page through the url (replace VALUE with the entered number) such as this yourURL\tempconverter.html'temp=VALUE. Page 2 would look like this: function getUrlParams( name ) { name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]"); var regexS = "[\\'&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)"; var regex = new RegExp( regexS ); var results = regex.exec( window.location.href ); if( results == null ) return ""; else return results[1]; } function convertTemp() { var a = ...

Job Advice Needed
I would take job 2 in a heartbeat. I'm not a salesman so job 1 likely wouldn't earn me more money than job 2 especially with added cost of gas plus loss of up to 2 hours a day commuting. Plus, I would be willing to make sacrifices for an opportunity in my career choice field.

Alcatraz
I assumed she was someone from the past before we ever saw the clip at the end. Hauser said to her a bit earlier in the show, "You always wanted children so go babysit." That sounds like something a man would say to his gf/wife/ex and with the age difference it immediately made me think she was his age as well.

What are you doing with your life (career-wise) and are you happy?
I was working as an insulator for 7 years which was a pretty crappy job but decent pay and good amount of time off. Then Obama pushed out ARRA which boosted my income pretty substantially. This allowed me to buy a new car and a house. Decided I didn't want to go back to the old pay rate so I finished my 2 year degree in computer science over the last year. Am now working at a Fortune 100 company in software development which is what I always wanted to do. Love my job and hope they hire me on when my contract is up but even if they don't the experience should be enough to land me the next gig.
