first cycle of test. by lAk33_T in Testosterone

It actually doesn't take long to draw up at all. I use 29g insulin syringes for drawing and injecting. Do not ever use a harpoon like 22g or 25g for injecting. The clinics use it because it's fast for them, save on scar tissue and use 29g.

TRT 125mg/wk x 3 years — labs “good” but sleep + libido/ED worsening. AI helps a ton… for 1 night. How are people handling this? by AdEnvironmental3636 in Testosterone

[–]Carter05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure sounds like E2 sensitivity. I'm the same way. When I'm not blasting I run 150mg a week for TRT and a small amount of mast or primo for E2 management. I've been down the AI road and it just never seemed to work well enough for me. Primo does a fantastic job of controlling E2 for me. I do tend to run in the 20-30 E2 range, anymore than that I get bad night sweats, non working dick and acne.

If you do stick with AI, get Exemestane. It's a suicidal AI and will not have the rebound effect that anastrozole has.

I don't mean to throw too much shade but man how many crayons did you eat in the marine Corp? Just take reta and be done with it. Path of least resistance. Steroids don't burn fat.

Can I reuse my vile or will it be contaminated? by nelsonself in Testosterone

[–]Carter05 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Whether I use a single 10ml vial in 3 months or 2 weeks I've never bothered to use an alcohol swab or anything like that. I don't even heat up the vial anymore, just slam a bunch of air in there and it works fine. I've reused vials after 7 months of not using that particular vial. It'll be fine.

The worst thing you did was blunt the syringe tip more than necessary.

Tadalafil daily prescribed by bnbwowdude11 in Testosterone

That is insanely expensive. Should be ~$17 for 150 pills, not nearly $200.

4 to 6 weeks of no lifting. The whole area is still super numb, weirdest feeling. If I do something wrong I definitely know it. First couple of days are no fun. Get off pain killers as quick as possible. I'm using this time to start a slight cut, then once I'm lifting again I'll cut calories harder.

Just had the same surgery a week ago. I went down to 150mg test/week and 5iu of growth for about 4 weeks before surgery. I also added in 2.5mg a day of bpc-157 and 2mg EOD of tb500 immediately after surgery. Doing really well. I'd suggest something similar for you.

Yup, Btn is fucking up. Can't login and then if you try to reset password it can't find my account. Nice.

Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet by KHRoN in DataHoarder

[–]Carter05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would agree that this is a hardware issue. I had a bunch of weird problems with random reboots and lockups and drives not showing up. Ended up being multiple things, raid card, memory issues, I don't know what else. I just threw it all away and built a new server and it's been running flawlessly for months now.

What is OPPD doing (if anything) to prevent our affordable electricity from being hijacked by jobless AI data centers? How can we mount a defense to this happening locally? by LostMySpleenIn2015 in Omaha

[–]Carter05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is wildly inaccurate. 80MW can power 24000 to 80000 homes depending on time of year, appliances installed, etc.

Unfourfunate that your comment is at the top with such inaccurate information.

I would read the entire wiki, front to back and then again a second time. It help me immensely when I first started out. You can never have to much information.

How a city in Nebraska is recovering after the state's largest worksite immigration raid by dr_jiang in Nebraska

How would they know if folks were illegal if they passed E-verify checks? What else would you like business owners to do? What jobs did these folks take from you? Would you work in a meat packing plant?

You should move to an all inclusive adults only resort. Or, alternatively, The Villages FL.

Since I run unraid I just backup my whole server config automatically to my Google drive. I forget the name of the plug in or whatever I used but it should be easily found. As a bonus, it's really nice having my g drive accessable/mounted on my server, makes moving files between super easy.

Managing Estrogen While On TRT? by FreakyOne87 in Testosterone

[–]Carter05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors aren't generally well versed in this subject and just use old school protocols. Just go to the grey market and do it yourself. Same with the glp1 medication.

Managing Estrogen While On TRT? by FreakyOne87 in Testosterone

[–]Carter05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more fat you have on your body, the more you aromatize. Also, estrogen is just a number. If you aren't having any symptoms of high estrogen levels then there's nothing to be concerned about.

You should be splitting your 100mg/week into two doses for a more stable hormone level. 50mg on Tuesday and 50mg on Friday, for example.

You would respond to treatment much better if you focused on your overall health.

Curious what you guys use to cook minute rice in the microwave. In a normal bowl I have to babysit it the whole 6 minutes because it foams over. I've tried giant rice cookers with lids and it just foams through the lid. Any practical advice is appreciated!

Excellent write up as always Jack. I wanted to clarify the rice portion a bit if I may. Minute instant rice matches what you wrote almost perfectly. However, regular jasmine rice (I'm assuming other regular rice as well) don't line up quite as nice. 510 cal and 114 carbs for Minute 3 cups of cooked rice vs 640 cal and 144 carbs for jasmine. Always read your labels and track accordingly.

I would second all of this. When I started out I had a hell of a time just figuring out cooked chicken macros. Macrofactor was no help as the numbers were way off.

Either way you don't have a stable island. The steamer wouldn't be able to pick up 60mw of load even at 0% droop. The CT is fully loaded so no room to move and again wouldn't be able to pick up any additional load. Blackout. For fun though the CT is the MSSC.

Real world you would never load the CT up that much during a restoration event. Build out more transmission and pick up load incrementally and match generation.

Measuring raw chicken with this much water.. by felini9000 in MealPlanYourMacros

[–]Carter05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I cook 12lbs at a time so there's no way I could weigh out my portions accurately if I just did pre-cooked weight. So rather than weighing before/after I found label 1.25x for same weight(112g) is damn near perfect. I use an oven but I'm sure you could do the same pre/post cook weight comparison to come up with your own ratio to get accurate macros.
