  • When a friend broke the saw blade on my Leatherman (which was ~15 years old), I sent it back to them for repair. A short while later I received a brand new Leatherman with a letter saying they were so sorry, but they didn’t have parts for my old model anymore, so they sent me a brand new, better model. The letter also said they understood people had emotional connections to their tools, so if I decided I wanted the old broken tool back instead, they would hold onto it for me for a few months, and all I’d need to do was email them asking to swap.

    10/10 the best customer service I’ve ever received.




  • I have Type 1 Diabetes, and I’m always looking for fun/interesting ways to help me manage it, including some Home Assistant tools, like the Nightscout integration.

    If your son is using an insulin pump, why are you taking a vial of insulin with you day-to-day? Even small pumps like the omnipod hold much more than one day’s worth.

    When I do need to bring vials of insulin with me (if I’m camping in the summer for more than a few days, for instance), I just use a Frio pouch. They’re little evaporative coolers that keep the insulin cold enough. I’m sorry for ignoring your question, but it sounds like you could be making things more difficult for yourself than you have to.
