Getting close to a number I picked somewhat arbitrarily at the start and now second-guessing whether it's actually the right number or just the number I happened to…

comment on bought a second-hand HPLC. worst best decision of my life. AMA in c/hplc · 41 points · 4 days ago
"worst best decision" is doing so much work in that title
comment on genuine question, what does "tapering" actually mean for a weekly injectable, there’s no pill to cut in half in c/tapering · 21 points · 4 days ago
fwiw this question genuinely comes up constantly and the "no formal protocol exists" answer should probably be pinned somewhere
comment on quit cold, regained fast, and I’m still working through how I feel about that in c/darkspot · 12 points · 4 days ago
fwiw take whatever time you need, this thread isn't going anywhere
comment on went up a dose over a stall that turned out to be dehydration, learned an expensive lesson in c/maintenancephase · 19 points · 4 days ago
fwiw this kind of "here's what I got wrong" post is worth more karma than it usually gets, more people should write these
comment on [Non-Scale Win] almost asked about going up, fixed protein and sleep instead, stall broke in c/progresspics · 11 points · 4 days ago
fwiw drafting the message and then not sending it is a very relatable stage of this whole process
comment on [Lab] GL Biochem raw material vs a reseller vial of nominally the same compound in c/coa · 37 points · 5 days ago
“worst best decision of my life” re: buying a second-hand HPLC is still the funniest thing on this site
comment on scale hasn’t moved in nine days, week 4, am I stalling already in c/semaglutide · 14 points · 5 days ago
fwiw my week 4 wall lasted exactly until day 17 and then dropped 1.4kg in three days. bodies are weird and lumpy about this.
comment on [Resolved] restarted after a year off, zero shame framing allowed in this post in c/darkspot · 13 points · 5 days ago
fwiw the RetaAndRegret2 comment up top made me laugh in a good way, nice bit of levity in an otherwise heavy thread
comment on how many independent tests before you trust a vendor. my number is three. in c/vendorvetting · 31 points · 5 days ago
zero, i test every order. it is cheaper than a wasted vial and i have the disposable income of someone with no social life.
comment on [Paper] receptor distribution and why the GI effects were predictable in c/glp1science · 10 points · 6 days ago
comment on what is bac water and why does everyone keep saying it in c/newbiequestions · 40 points · 6 days ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is what is. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on tapered slowly over four months instead of stopping cold, regain was 4kg not 24 in c/maintenancephase · 6 points · 6 days ago
fwiw this is the most useful tapering post I've read this month, appreciate the honesty about the n=1 limits
comment on almost quit at week 4 because "it stopped working", so glad I didn’t in c/progresspics · 26 points · 7 days ago
this is why I stopped weighing daily and switched to twice a week, took the emotional rollercoaster out of it entirely
comment on why does GIP agonism seem to reduce nausea rather than add to it in c/glp1science · 26 points · 8 days ago
The incretin literature is interesting but rodent models do not scale linearly to human dosing.
comment on [Side Effects] alcohol hits completely differently now and nobody mentioned it in c/sideeffects · 0 points · 10 days ago
This is correct. The sulphur burps is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
comment on [Results] nine months, one boring spreadsheet, and three fake "stalls" that weren’t in c/progresspics · 7 points · 10 days ago
fwiw stall #3 at week 22 having the shortest rolling-average blip is a nice detail, later on the noise seems to settle out faster for you
comment on how do i know if my dose is working in c/newbiequestions · 31 points · 12 days ago
Week 9 or week 32?
comment on someone explain gastric emptying to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1science · -31 points · 1 months ago
do not extrapolate rodent data to human dosing without saying so
comment on someone explain gastric emptying to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1science · 104 points · 1 months ago
gastric emptying is real and explains most early nausea
