Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
comment on week 56 check-in — 12kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/coa · 183 points · 9 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

comment on three years of sulphur burps threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/sideeffects · 42 points · 10 months ago
