[Discussion] we are measuring shipping at the wrong time and calling it noise

Discussion Long Haul ×9 Sourced ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking shipping against triglycerides for 39 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

DHL was 23 days door-to-door but reship. EMS took 32 days but cheaper and fine.

Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.

Crossposting this to c/glp1aus because the people who need it are not reading this community.

Australia to Australia: CPC with 20 days is the average, variance is 10
