the Netherlands: shipping, and what it actually costs here
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 1.0mg to 15mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 15 weeks…

comment on three years of transit time threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/intlshipping · 3 points · 8 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 12–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on disclosure is the most under-discussed thing in c/maintenancephase in c/meta · 3 points · 8 months ago
Yeah, the evidence standard works.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 38 weeks to accept.

the moderation decision is logged
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on genuine question about transit time that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/intlshipping · 59 points · 11 months ago
Not to be pedantic but reship and EMS are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring discontinuation at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/tapering · 100 points · 12 months ago
the people who came off and restarted without shame
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on carrier — my 6-week log, condensed into one table in c/intlshipping · 431 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.
comment on my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether interval stretching is why in c/tapering · 39 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
comment on my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether interval stretching is why in c/tapering · 94 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
comment on my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether moderation is why in c/meta · 3 points · 1 year ago
rules, moderation, ranking, wiki
comment on [Results] 11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/tapering · 45 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, regain is not a failure.

personal-import allowances differ by country

the Denmark import rules are specific to Denmark
comment on [PSA] lane is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/intlshipping · 248 points · 1 year ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [PSA] lane is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/intlshipping · -12 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
comment on the Netherlands: shipping, and what it actually costs here in c/intlshipping · 1 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with shipping, not with what you concluded.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify regain in c/tapering · -1 points · 1 year ago
coming off deliberately, not by accident
comment on small win: tapering stopped being a problem at week 30 in c/tapering · 8 points · 1 year ago
cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing regain rates
comment on [Results] 87 weeks, 36kg, and interval stretching was the hard part in c/tapering · 4 points · 1 year ago
interval stretching versus dose reduction
Disagree on that part. 97.6% and 97.9% on the same vial is normal.

[Results] 87 weeks, 36kg, and interval stretching was the hard part
Week 72 update. 28kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 29. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…
