Nah that's pretty accurate.

Type 1 is characterized by an autoimmune response against the beta cells specifically. There are other type 1-ish conditions that can be caused by pancreatitis for example. And then there is of course LADA, double-diabetes etc.

Conversely a type 1s pancreas still produces insulin early on especially in the remission/honey moon phase where they might not even need injections for months (this is where all the people who are not educated on it or falling for health gurus trip up)

Iirc more recent research has also shown that T1Ds produce small amounts of insulin. But not enough to really be clinically relevant.

(Got the sake of brevity, diabetes here refers to diabetes mellitus cause nobody ever talks about insipidus)

Ugh don't you hate it when an active connection blocks the use of the stargate network for everyone.

Truly a 90s moment.

Not only that, according to his lore they also had psionic powers and could make stuff levitate.

Wonder if they were friends with the lost civilization on Mars (yes, he also believes this)...

They used to be moderately common in the before times, like 2.5 inch IDE HDD times.

For added horror those often where Y cables, too.

Yeah, very funny giving it such a cutesy name so you drop your guard but once you learn what it is actually called you won't be laughing anymore:

Japanese long-tailed bushtit

I'm just glad the parents named her that before the last season of GOT released.

Otherwise it would be even more concerning.

This all could have been avoided with a Discworld-style Thieves Guild

Kobolds are originally just the "small folk" of German mythology with all of them being gnome-like but with varying degrees of hospitality. That's why you get your mine Kobolds, your Heinzelmännchen and your Klabautermann.

Bonus fact: Dog like Kobolds in DnD derived media are not exclusive to Japan, in the Everquest lore they are also dog like (and a bit hyena like, whereas gnolls here are fully canine)
