comment on stalled for 6 weeks at 1.7mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 8 points · 1 year ago
Correcting my own comment: the two draws were 6 weeks apart, not the figure I gave earlier.
greta_chukwu is right that a reference interval is not a target. It is a description of a population.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about ALT in c/bloodwork · 20 points · 1 year ago
same lab, same conditions, or you are comparing noise
comment on three years of regulatory threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 18 points · 1 year ago
read the actual papers, they are more modest than the summaries
comment on A1c: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/bloodwork · 15 points · 1 year ago
Right, and weight loss itself moves several markers, so attribution is harder than these threads assume.
comment on reading declared value threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/customs · 58 points · 1 year ago
ask the supplier what documentation accompanies the shipment
comment on [Lab] TFC BPC — Janoshik came back 98.3% against a claimed 98.0% in c/labresults · 64 points · 1 year ago
Correction: that is the claimed figure, and the measured one is the higher of the two in your own screenshot.
comment on [Meta] the FLOW rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/trialwatch · 2 points · 1 year ago
That is a relative risk reduction. Quoting it without the absolute numbers overstates the case considerably.
comment on import is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 2 points · 1 year ago
Ordered from the warehouse in France and the whole import question disappeared. 5 days, domestic, no notice, nothing to manage.

comment on import is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 22 points · 1 year ago
Right, and clearance time is not carrier time. Blaming the shipper for a customs queue is a category error.
comment on import is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 62 points · 1 year ago
Is there a deadline on the notice?
comment on how much of what we believe about purity actually comes from below spec threads in c/labresults · 14 points · 1 year ago
Tested three lots over a year rather than three vials from one lot. Cost the same and told me something completely different.
comment on the maintenance thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/maintenancephase · 20 points · 1 year ago
monthly weigh-ins are enough at this stage
Adding one thing — decide what maintenance looks like before you arrive at it.
comment on [Vendor] SSA order #5 — Sweden, 13 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/cryptopay · 309 points · 1 year ago
Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways payments go astray.
comment on rodent data — 9 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bpc157 · 63 points · 1 year ago
Short peptides in solution are subject to hydrolysis and, depending on sequence, oxidation. Storage state and time in solution are practical variables that this board almost never discusses.
comment on help me understand ALT, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 10 points · 1 year ago
Small fix — a reference interval is not a treatment target, and the post above uses them interchangeably.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about USDC is guesswork in c/cryptopay · 228 points · 1 year ago
Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways payments go astray.
comment on how much of what we believe about eGFR actually comes from A1c threads in c/bloodwork · 7 points · 1 year ago
a single hs-CRP outside range is a reason to repeat, not to panic
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 52 points · 1 year ago
FLOW was kidney outcomes and it is the one nobody quotes
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring goal weight at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/maintenancephase · 45 points · 1 year ago
That reads like a taper schedule and this board cannot hand those out.
comment on [Discussion] the chargeback advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/cryptopay · 7 points · 1 year ago
Disagree — a quote expiry is normal when a rate is being held. Pressure to decide immediately is a different thing.
comment on reading SURMOUNT threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/trialwatch · 116 points · 1 year ago
Right — trial participants get structured support. Comparing yourself to a trial mean is comparing across two different interventions.
comment on how much of what we believe about chargeback actually comes from crypto threads in c/cryptopay · 10 points · 1 year ago
Correcting myself upthread: it was 5 confirmations, not the number I posted, and it settled fine.
comment on how much of what we believe about chargeback actually comes from crypto threads in c/cryptopay · 37 points · 1 year ago
A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting process before the main amount moves.
comment on Medutest — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/labresults · 249 points · 1 year ago
A series across separate lots estimates a process. Repeat tests on one lot estimate the measurement. Both are useful and they answer different questions.
comment on the gas fees question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/cryptopay · 15 points · 2 years ago
the supplier cannot reverse it and neither can you
comment on [Vendor] FGP vs SWB on the same compound, same month — both cleared 99.0% in c/labresults · 47 points · 2 years ago
If the report gives a mass spectrum as well as UV purity, say so. Identity and relative quantity are separate claims and the log tracks both.
comment on chargeback — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/cryptopay · 40 points · 2 years ago
Escrow is not standard in this space. Wanting it is reasonable; expecting it as default is not.
comment on chargeback — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/cryptopay · 90 points · 2 years ago
Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways payments go astray.
comment on how much of what we believe about regain actually comes from lowest effective dose threads in c/maintenancephase · 553 points · 2 years ago
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos over days in stable people through fluid, glycogen and gut content. A range is not a trend.
comment on BPC-157 — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bpc157 · 5 points · 2 years ago
That is a purity figure, not an identity confirmation. Two different tests and only one answers the question asked.
comment on [Lab] 14th independent test on GGPeps — 98.3% on a claimed 97.5%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/labresults · 194 points · 2 years ago
Yes — date of analysis, because a result from two years ago describes a different manufacturing month.
comment on lowest effective dose — 2 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/maintenancephase · 4 points · 2 years ago
find the dose that holds, then stop optimising
comment on [Discussion] the PeptideMeter advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/labresults · 148 points · 2 years ago
Push back: three tests on one lot is one lot. It tells you about that lot and almost nothing about the next one.
comment on how much of what we believe about ApoB actually comes from baseline labs threads in c/bloodwork · 52 points · 2 years ago
That is a non-fasting value and the interval you are comparing it against is a fasting one.
comment on [Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on chargeback in c/cryptopay · 228 points · 2 years ago
The transaction hash is the canonical receipt: it is public, verifiable by either party, and it is what a support query should quote.
comment on genuine question about goal weight that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/maintenancephase · 174 points · 2 years ago
Maintenance is the phase with the least published guidance and the most individual variation, which is precisely why board consensus here is worth less than usual.
