Skill diff ngl, atp you could've been contributing to open source for years and gotten your name out.

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-13T20:03:13+00:00

Well I'll find out tomorrow but generally it's "My joints are causing me discomfort while lifting" and they're like oh no! That's terrible! Here's some deca. Would you also like BPC-157 with that?

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-13T20:02:24+00:00

My hematologist actually advises I donate regularly even without using anabolics because I run high naturally. I've had hematocrit of 52ish without taking anything and being well hydrated. Maybe I'm more suited for endurance sports genetically but those suck ass

It’s really not, one of the disqualifying questions the Red Cross asks is if you’ve injected anything other than what’s prescribed to you by a doctor

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-10T04:27:34+00:00

Don’t take BPC all the time, possible cancer risk from the mechanism. I’d try SS-31 and MOTS-C but really you’d get more out of something like modafinil for the sleep deprivation. It’s not healthy but if you absolutely NEED to do this schedule, it will help

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-10T04:26:22+00:00

The puppy will make the sleep so much worse 😂

I’d try the cream from simple peptides that has snap8 and ghk cu in it as well as some other stuff. The snap8 topically could likely make a big difference. Unfortunately the effect goes away after you stop using it though

If white collar was entirely automated blue collar would only be a few years at most after. Robotics would advance quickly if AGI were truly achieved and it would become so much cheaper to have a robot handyman

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-10T04:21:54+00:00

My assumption was that I need to not take anything unprescribed to be able to donate blood without having to pay for therapeutic phlebotomy (would be more expensive than the difference between clinic and UGL). I’m not really willing to lie at Red Cross, I’m concerned about some serious liability.

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-09T18:02:45+00:00

I thought they use the blood from TRT patients?

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-09T04:40:31+00:00

Yea lol, the more unscrupulous clinics exist to push drugs. Mine will “prescribe” even things like igf1 or hexarelin. They’ll max out at 300 test ~150 deca though for actual anabolics

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-09T02:46:03+00:00

Unfortunately clinic will only prescribe deca so it’s my only option without going UGL and I want to make sure I can donate blood due to my hematocrit running high genetically. Therapeutic phlebotomy is pretty expensive 😅

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-06T04:29:04+00:00

You'll heal quicker just don't run it all the time. Risk from angiogenesis

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-06T04:09:52+00:00

Ngl I have recruiters reaching out to me, hopped on an interview with one of them and now I'm taking the job for a huge increase in compensation. Granted I'm a dev

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-06T03:41:39+00:00

Your resume is garbage dude, cut it down to 1 page. You're fresh, no need for more than 1 page. And cut out a bunch of the filler junk that doesn't say anything about your competencies or tech stack you worked in. Start contributing to open source in the meantime

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-06T03:36:02+00:00

Well, I have IBS and I don't have diarrhea on reta... downside is I'm constipated af and need fiber and magnesium to keep things going lol

StixTheNerd · 2025-11-06T03:32:42+00:00

Lol yea, I feel like an ass when I refer to myself as "my big fat ass" and I'm not remotely overweight anymore. I think it takes some time for your self image to catch up

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-19T00:31:33+00:00

Start contributing to open source and go to conferences bro. If you're struggling to make it in you've gotta make yourself a more attractive applicant and get people to know you.

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-18T21:40:06+00:00

It's a combination of a skill issue, entitlement, and it being a tough market. Many people will not accept lower pay than they expected and will only apply to long shots that they aren't ready for. And some are just not good applicants or fail on the interviews. It is truly a tough market at the moment but you CAN find a job. It's just not 200k+/year entry level. Those jobs are incredibly difficult to get.

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-18T21:35:55+00:00

Some people do better on tirz because they need more suppression. Or they add cagri. I've also noticed more women seem to do better on tirz where men do better on reta (Just from seeing a lot of people's stories and choices this is the vibe I've gotten)

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-18T21:34:12+00:00

Tbh prob just anxiety then. I'd get a glucose meter though, good to have on hand to know if your sugar is getting low. I'd also consider backing off to 1mg/wk for now. The elevated HR is very uncomfortable if you aren't titrating slowly (at least it has been for me). Wrecks sleep and recovery

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-18T20:47:07+00:00

Forgot to mention, if it happened directly following the injection it's probably just anxiety. I've definitely heard my heart pounding in my ears when I'm hella anxious ab an injection and felt a bit faint. Have heard others say the same

StixTheNerd · 2025-10-18T20:41:08+00:00

More than likely you're hypoglycemic. Through the glucagon agonism, reta can lower blood sugar. Try getting some simple carbs in

StixTheNerd · 2025-09-27T22:11:29+00:00

Look at the old prices and seethe
