    The insulin produced now has benefited from advances in technology just like most things. The fast acting insulin is predictable and works in 45 minutes to an hour and a half. The original insulin took hours and wasn’t nearly as predictable or stable. Testing/monitoring technology has seen even more significant advances.

    I owe Banting and his colleagues my life, but it is different. That’s not to say that the continued well being of the public should be profitable and exclusive.

    One for the mouse, One for the crow, One to rot, And one to grow.

    I like the old rhyme, but do they actually let you have one? I like your sacrificial dill. We did that one year, but with fennel instead (just because we have more luck with that). Ultimately, it was Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) which worked the best.

    I feel like the Adobe marketing is somewhat pointless. Anyone that has been in the target industries for any amount of time already know the deal.

    GIMP is not Photoshop. They are not competitors. It’s a difficult transition. I’m not sure we should even bother drawing a comparison.

    I’ve used Photoshop since 1992. I know, I’m old. I started using GIMP about four years ago. I recently got to the point where I can function.

    Money and momentum is a motherfucker. Adobe has fuck you money. GIMP has volunteers. Those that don’t like their site should volunteer time or money.

    Edit: fwiw I like the GIMP site better too.
