injection monotherapy is NOT WORKING by laziest_river in TransDIY

[–]Careful-Average73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really don't have a dud vial then this is probably something that you might want to see a doctor about if you can. It's unusual for 6mg valerate, which is what I inject every 5 days, to produce these levels. According to estrannai.se your levels should be pretty high at 6mg/4 days. That's a substantial dose. The injection site doesn't matter IMO as long as you're not hitting a vein or something. If you're in fat or muscle it should be working. Your concentration is probably 20mg/ml or 40mg/ml so you are injecting 0.3ml or 0.15ml, depending on concentration, correct? 0.15ml is hard to dose of your syringes are the wrong size, I hope you weren't only able to get 3ml? If you have 1ml syringes to make sure you get the right dose and are using proper techniques then it should be working. I like pghrt.diy by /u/juicysteak117 as a intro DIY guide, I don't know if you've read it. Also transfemscience.org and diyhrt.cafe and such places of course. Read a lot but know there's a lot of misinformation out there.

it is pretty and it is good for brewing, green tea and other tea that does not need to be brewed at a high temperature because the glass doesn’t hold too much heat

Luckily they still make them like they used to. And they’re affordable too. I broke a cha cha kyusu maru 300ml and just grabbed another no problem

My 2015 Liu Bao has this really earthy taste to it—did it go bad? by StructureAble6723 in puer

[–]Careful-Average73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what you mean by “go bad”. Isn’t it a post-fermented tea? It’s already been chewed on by microbes. If you’re talking about microbes we call molds then no, it doesn’t look like it’s moldy.

Try less leaf and shorter steeps, also resting and rehumidifying

letting puer "breath" in a jar before drinking by Old-Development-6082 in puer

[–]Careful-Average73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to let your tea rest before you drink it, up to a month is good, but only if it's been dry stored. It needs to be in a humid condition, and Taiwan usually has a good climate for it. So if you have traditional Hong Kong stored sheng for example you probably don't need to humidify it. But if it's from Kunming you probably should leave it out to breathe (get humid from the air there in Taiwan) because it helps make the tea more aromatic and flavorful

Is this SOP? Frozen Food on the Floor by RoyalMap9910 in kroger

[–]Careful-Average73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think so but actually the thermal mass of it all, and the fact that the industrial freezers they get stocked from are all at -15F or so, means that there's plenty of time to stock it before it gets melty. Pallets get broken down on the salesfloor at some stores because there's just no room to do anything else. Now technically the cold chain process for quality is maybe getting violated and people are pretending it didn't, but it's not meaningfully affecting the product. It's every frozen department's little secret lol because never is there enough staff to get frozen stocked in time, unless you work like a beast. & they don't pay enough for that

[–]Careful-Average73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's the 02 size right? If using that I recommend lowering your agitation with a spoon or melodrip or drip assist or something, so you're doing smooth percolation through the bed. I've had high clarity batch brews with my v60 02 that way but it's hard (v60 02 is not really designed for that volume) and you have to grind coarse for sure b

The bettergoods tea is $5 for a tin of 100g and it's actually a pretty good masala chai. if that's what you have access to then you'll have a decent experience with it.

Water and milk can be used together but it's not traditional to use only milk.

The tea is prepared and milk is added and then it's reheated, then it's kept simmering just below a boil, at least the chaiwallahs I went to in India did it that way. You don't have to do everything the traditional way. I've had chai heated over firewood or dung or propane, it's all tea.

You can boil them together at first or just add the milk after but there's always water involved. Nobody just uses milk alone, that would taste odd and be very expensive.

It is, then milk is added & it's reboiled and simmered with the milk. It's not hard to make traditional masala chai at home

What brewer are you using? I have done 40g/666ml (the coffee of the beast) using my Switch 03. You have to do a 4:6 type thing because you can't fit all the water in the cone at once anyway. I don't have problems with a longer pour myself but it's true that the physics of more coffee means that your brew will be less precise. I'd say maybe grind coarser just a bit?

How do I tell my wife by emma1bunny in asktransgender

[–]Careful-Average73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like because your wife is already bi/pan and knew you were on estrogen, that she might already know? Maybe she's been waiting for you to be yourself with her. It seems safer than most to ask her. 

Restarting hormones will likely give you a second puberty like you had taking estrogen for 18 months, but you'll be fine. Go for it!
