comment on [Lab] SWB BPC — VendorInvestigate came back 98.5% against a claimed 98.0% in c/researchpeptides · 1 points · 1 year ago
Agreed — identity first for anything off the well-travelled list. The purity number is meaningless until you know what it is pure of.
comment on does fraud actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/scamalerts · 62 points · 1 year ago
Reported something here with dates and screenshots and was asked for the document trail. Fair challenge, and it made the report worth reading.
comment on [PSA] lane is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/intlshipping · 198 points · 1 year ago
The rigid outer with no rattle in it was the thing that told me most about that supplier, before I had tested anything.

Do they publish a reship policy, and did you read it before ordering?
comment on how much of what we believe about scam actually comes from PDF metadata threads in c/scamalerts · 39 points · 1 year ago
What dates are we talking about — order, payment, last contact?
comment on ferritin — 15 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 128 points · 1 year ago
same lab, same conditions, or you are comparing noise
comment on import is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/customs · 10 points · 1 year ago
do not post your own address details when asking
comment on my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether contraception is why in c/glp1women · 3 points · 1 year ago
Correction: that trial did not enrol the population being discussed, so it cannot support the claim.
Adding the one thing nobody warns about — fertility can change, and quickly.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about baseline labs until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · -14 points · 1 year ago
Nobody here can interpret your panel and this comment is not doing so. What a board can usefully do is help you ask better questions of somebody who can.
comment on the ApoB thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 1 year ago
Added ApoB to the panel after a thread here. It told me something the standard lipid panel had been hiding.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about scam is guesswork in c/scamalerts · 81 points · 1 year ago
Left up. It carries dates, a domain and a document trail, which is what a report on this board looks like.

Lost money once, years ago, to a shop that pushed hard for a decision the same day. Every time I see that pressure now I close the tab.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring carrier at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/intlshipping · 271 points · 1 year ago
A lane is an origin, a destination, a carrier and a season. Change any one and the distribution changes, which is why supplier-level shipping averages are close to meaningless.
comment on transit time — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 1 points · 2 years ago
the median is more useful than the fastest anybody ever got
comment on nobody warned me about reflux and I would have liked the warning in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 2 years ago
Same view — ApoB if you add one thing.
Adding the obvious one — take it to whoever ordered the panel. This board cannot read it for you.
comment on help me understand group buy, I have read the wiki twice in c/scamalerts · 543 points · 2 years ago
Is this a shop, a group buy, or an individual reseller? They fail in different ways.
comment on help me understand group buy, I have read the wiki twice in c/scamalerts · 1.1k points · 2 years ago
Left up. It carries dates, a domain and a document trail, which is what a report on this board looks like.
comment on [Question] thymosin — what am I missing here in c/researchpeptides · 74 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced. A purity figure without a stated method is not comparable to one that has a method attached.
comment on [Lab] HJ tirz — Janoshik came back 97.4% against a claimed 97.0% in c/scamalerts · 46 points · 2 years ago
Retitled from an accusation to a description. Same facts, and now the post survives being wrong.
comment on personal import — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/customs · 21 points · 2 years ago
Push back: personal import allowances are narrow and specific, and the general version of them circulating here is wrong.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ApoB until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · 20 points · 2 years ago
draw at the same point in the week if you want comparability
comment on [Discussion] the scam advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/scamalerts · 11 points · 2 years ago
Left up. It carries dates, a domain and a document trail, which is what a report on this board looks like.
comment on [PSA] lipids are not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 2 years ago
Reference intervals are typically the central 95% of a reference population. By construction one person in twenty falls outside one on any given test without anything being wrong.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Medutest and Janoshik — 96.2% and 97.4% in c/scamalerts · 150 points · 2 years ago
Push back: "nobody has tested them" is a fact about this board, not a fact about the company. Say the first one.
