comment on 8 months in and transit time is still the thing I get wrong in c/intlshipping · 6 points · 4 months ago
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
comment on why does nobody talk about testing in c/vendorvetting · 679 points · 4 months ago
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
comment on anyone else notice endpoint kicking in around week 19 in c/trialwatch · 0 points · 4 months ago
the relative risk reduction in headlines is not the whole story
comment on someone explain Janoshik to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/vendorvetting · 61 points · 5 months ago
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
comment on [Question] the UK — has anyone got a straight answer on appetite return in c/tapering · 3 points · 5 months ago
appetite return timelines vary tapering
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring vendor at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/vendorvetting · 1 points · 5 months ago
the Janoshik result being close to the claim is the signal, not the absolute number
Adding to this: Medutest is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on the SURPASS question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/trialwatch · 54 points · 5 months ago
Disagree.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [PSA] tapering is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/tapering · 71 points · 6 months ago
Week 57 for me and the honest summary is: 9kg down, sulphur burps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
comment on small win: order records stopped being a problem at week 21 in c/vendorvetting · 178 points · 6 months ago
TFC three times. First two perfect, third arrived with a gel pack failure. Powder tested 97.4% anyway, so no harm done.
comment on unpopular opinion: DHL is massively overrated in c/intlshipping · 310 points · 7 months ago
origin to destination, carrier, transit variance
comment on testing — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/vendorvetting · 6 points · 8 months ago
one vendor per post, multi-vendor goes in the monthly thread
comment on testing — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/vendorvetting · 27 points · 8 months ago
HJ took 12 days to answer an email and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.
comment on the Netherlands: discontinuation, and what it actually costs here in c/tapering · 16 points · 8 months ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on FLOW vs TRIUMPH — genuinely asking which matters more in c/trialwatch · 21 points · 9 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on genuine question about testing that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/vendorvetting · 110 points · 9 months ago
This order history matches mine almost exactly. Same vendor, same timeframe, same result.
comment on genuine question about testing that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/vendorvetting · 55 points · 9 months ago
Correct. The batch number is load-bearing information, not optional.
comment on [Question] the UK — has anyone got a straight answer on lane in c/intlshipping · 116 points · 10 months ago
Customs held the package for 10 days. No problems, just time. Factor it into expectations.
comment on help me understand carrier, I have read the wiki twice in c/intlshipping · 95 points · 11 months ago
This is correct. Variance is the story.
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 9 points · 11 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring discontinuation at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/tapering · 18 points · 12 months ago
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
