I asked Yondr again. They replied immediately this time: We have a special wristband for ADA requests that allows guests to keep their phones unlocked. A Yondr representative can issue these wristbands at the venue.
So... there you go. And thanks for reminding me why I long ago stopped participating in Slashdot discussions.
If you use your phone to monitor your blood glucose, but the venue forces your phone to be locked into a Yondr bag, are there ADA repercussions? Seems that the answer would be "yes".
For example, an ADA-related consent order: https://www.ada.gov/sfxinc.htm6/, and this line specifically: "Clear Channel Entertainment agrees not to discriminate against any guest with diabetes with regard to their bringing diabetes related medical equipment or diabetes related food into a concert venue.â
I sent a brief, polite message to Yondr 1.5 years ago asking if there is a protocol for this situation. https://www.overyondr.com/contact/
No response.
Obviously, there are back-up strategies like bringing the stand-alone G5 receiver, use a meter, exit the concert to check your Bg, or not to go to the concert at all, but all should be unnecessary as having a phone at your side for monitoring blood glucose is a reasonable accommodation.
The Yondr bag will definitely cause issues if someone uses their phone and a CGMS transmitter to monitor, and react to, their blood glucose. There are work-arounds, like bringing a separate non-phone receiver, bringing a separate meter, leaving the concert to have security let you check your Bg, or not going to the concert at all.
I'm certain there are some ADA concerns here that nobody has touched on yet. Also certain that the security people who enforce putting your phone in a bag do not have a protocol for this situation.

At my son's school, across the street from our house we had a classroom in a portable. And not just *any* portable: Built in 1941 for the army, and installed at the school in 1943 to temporarily help with overcrowding in the regular classrooms. Our neighbor, who is 95, lived here when it was installed and her kids (who are now great grandparents!) attended class in it. My son, now 13, also enjoyed this classroom.
This "temporary" portable, literally spitting distance from the Hayward fault, wasn't even anchored to the ground - elevated by four feet of stacked blocks of wood . Even crazier... the thing was riddled with asbestos tiles, and had a mold problem.
The portable went away last year - 70 years after it was installed. I'd like to think that the paperwork I submitted to the city and state to have the portable declared a historical landmark worthy of preservation had something to do with it.
We've had insulin pumps for decades, and continuous glucose monitoring systems for many years. This is just a small iteration on top of that. The new thing? If the CGMS thinks your blood glucose is low, the pump is instructed to stop giving insulin.
This ain't an artificial pancreas by any measure - even the manufacturer says as much.
The show was set on the United Galaxies Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, an interstellar garbage scow operating out of United Galaxies Space Station Perma One in the year 2222. Adam Quark, the main character, works to clean up trash in space by collecting "space baggies" - unfortunately for Quark, while circumstances frequently dropped adventure into his lap, he was always ordered back to collecting garbage when the action was over.
Not to mention that with the pump you HAVE to eat when it's time - or else.
I'm a Type 1, and have been on an insulin pump for 13 years. Pumps afford the exact opposite of what you say here. The basal rates you program into the pump should allow you, when done correctly, to NOT eat at all - if you ignore plain old hunger. If you're having to ingest carbs to counteract your basal dosages, you're doing it wrong - and I can't state this strongly enough. Bolus dosages - e.g. the ones you take when you eat - work exactly like your eat/shot strategy you describe.
A type 1's blood sugar will rise - in the absence of both food and insulin - and I'd be really surprised if this wasn't the case for you.

Seriously. Think about your attitude, and the absolute reality that your life and comfort will be dependent on today's children at some point in your miserable hateful life.
You (and people like you) are exactly why we are in this mess to begin with.
Excuse me? We're in this mess because the candidates I once supported broke their promises and forsook their principles?
I don't blame the politicians... I blame YOU. There were plenty of us out there over the last few elections saying exactly what you're saying now. They have NO principles, and you can't trust them to keep promises. That you voted for these criminals says more about you than them.
You'll come to understand that snickering with a bunch of geeks about death - around people who are materially impacted by it - puts you in negative karma territory. And don't think for a second that a Slashdot public forum isolates you from those who are impacted. As Google indexes these conversations they will be *easily* found by the children as they learn to use the internet... think about it.
As to maturity... seriously? "Fucking joke", "ass-stick-ectomy"...? Need I say more?
That's about right - I can't take a joke on this topic for exactly the reasons I gave. (And how you interpret this to mean I can't generally take a "fucking joke" - I've no idea...) If this apparently funny story wasn't actually happening around me, and I didn't take part in the search event at the park last weekend, I likely wouldn't have responded at all.
Neither tacky nor cute - the comment is simply mean-spirited and shows a complete lack of empathy... when you grow up, you'll understand...
Just this weekend there was a search for Nina organized at the park across the street from my house. The children went to a local school. These same kids have lost their mother - and if the Oakland police are correct - they'll be losing their father. My kids are exactly the same age and it causes me physical distress thinking what the Reiser children are going through right now.
Why the hell does anyone need more than their book & a passport anyway?
If I ever see you on a plane, I'll have to assume the following is just dandy for you:
I'll need to insert a straw through your abdomen and into your pancreas - and somehow remove any insulin you create. Otherwise, I'd die.
As you believe items like crayons, toys, etc. are necessary... You'll be extremely happy entertaining my 5 and 8 year old boys during the flight. Should be FUN for you!
You can go back much further than the MS effort. In the very early 80's we had a motion sensitive joystick - Le Stick
Was mercury filled, and sensed movement when tilted. In practice, it made game playing more difficult since it was hard to keep it centered.
Are you using a hacked version of the Tivo software? If so, your disagreeing Tivo isn't answering the right question.

Nixon is a truly tragic American President, because he did accomplish much (as you say) but nonetheless fell. The height of his heights makes the depth of his depths all that more poignant. But in the end, he really did attempt to overthrow the proper functioning of the American political system, turning executive power into imperial diktat. There is no redemption for that crime, no matter what you put on the other side of the balance.
Strangely enough, if you replace Nixon with Anakin, you've essentially described the story arc of Star Wars - just with different political entities.
Anybody working in the

Huh? What's infamous about it? Curious, since I'm pretty much in the loop on infamous VCS games.
At the time, it was well reviewed. Nothing like the real infamous games: E.T. Pac Man, and Custer's Revenge.
It isn't clear to me where Quicken's "internet" features intersect with downloading or importing transaction information from your bank.
That is, if I purchase Quicken 2005 - in 2008 will I be able to access my transaction information, in some manner, via Quicken?
I'm happy doing once-a-month imports vs. using the automatic-download from within the aplication.
FYI: My bank offers two download formats: ofx, and qfx.
