Stelo is basically just a consumer packaged version of the Dexcom G6, and in both cases they warn you to use a finger stick to verify unexpected readings. But finger sticks can be really inaccurate, too. For many diabetics it's not a l

How is the law targeting men? As far as I know, it's just as illegal for women to create and possess deepfake porn. And, again: you do not need deepfake porn to have love and happiness, even an illusion of it. I personally think better

1) Sukarno had less to worry about than a schoolteacher (like in the article), perhaps. Teachers can get fired for even a hint of scandal. 2) Victorian men loved porn, prostitution, etc. The "prudishness" of the Victorian era was
