HA! Good call on smashing things, I guess we all need to get out the rage from time to time.

This is very humorous now. Nice move @CatLady!

Also, @Eric once posted about how to silence a pod alarm, seriously, [over on this other thread](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/how-to-silence-a-pod-alarm/1742). And when @EricH was testing out a real pod with just water in it, we forgot to start out by silencing it. So we wound up using a safety pin, which worked better than our paperclips to silence it while it was ON his arm. I will say, that was difficult, and I think that it is better to silence it off the body. But it CAN be done, if you’re testing the thing.
