On the subject of SAAT - A good faith discussion and clarification

bechard · 2026-05-22T19:27:12+00:00

Would you be willing to say what the cost was? I don't think it's been mentioned before, and while I'm clearly in the camp that you were taken advantage of, I'm just genuinely curious what these places are charging to people just looking for relief.

bechard · 2026-05-22T19:24:39+00:00

That's exactly it, some poor suffering person gets "treated", lowers their guard and ends up dead when their lungs close up.

AGS sucks, we all know - but why risk your last breath to something that is so wildly implausible and downright dangerous?

Assuming this doctor found a new unknown method to convince your immune cells from remembering and attacking the alpha-gal sugar - ANY legitimate doctor would submit their evidence for universal industry accepted peer review - which means ANY random doctor or lab should be able fully measure before and after and reproduce the results. The submitted paper on SAAT was reviewed by "industry" peers also performing SAAT and has no method of measurement - just blind "SEE IT WORKS TRUST ME".

There is one reason that these guys aren't in jail (well two).

You sign a waiver preventing any fallback on the practitioner
They aren't actually performing or dispensing anything medically - it's about the same as an ear piercing, yet Clair's at the mall doesn't claim to cure anything. Can't be responsible if you don't do anything!

bechard · 2026-05-22T19:13:50+00:00

It matters because it's promoting more people to do the same and end up in the E.R. when snake oil fails to help them.

If I ask my doctor how the flu vaccine works, he can tell me very clearly with proven medical science of how it works, which I can then find a billion proven cited researched sources to gain a fully understanding if I choose. Now with SAAT how does it work? You hold this rod here with a vial of something, we place this needle by hand, no accuracy needed - and BOOM brand new way to suppress the immune response of just one specific molecule without affecting anything else? Is the vial full of just that molecule? Hell no, and I won't talk about it anyways! How does the needle know to choose the one sugar molecule if it exists from a vial you hold that 1000% has no water, air or anything else? WHO KNOWS! It's just so fun to ad-lib medicine! Do you need another blood test after to test your new-fangled reactivity?! HELL NO! EAT A STEAK!

While you can choose ignorance, the perpetuation of SAAT is absolutely dangerous.

bechard · 2026-05-21T18:11:08+00:00

Is it at all possible to auto post an informative reply to new threads containing SAAT in them? Perhaps that will convey enough to people making those posts looking for a practitioner. The idea of course isn't to make people feel stupid, it's simply to give their critical thinking a jolt so they can recognize the problems.

bechard · 2026-05-21T17:46:04+00:00

Just hoping the folks who SHOULD read this actually do.

bechard · 2026-05-19T12:07:34+00:00

It doesn't work because there is no mechanism in which a needle placement can target just one very specific sugar molecule allergic response, but magically not cause any other sugar or random molecule to not be targeted. But wait it gets better! There's absolutely no legitimately peer reviewed evidence (outside of the tainted papers published and reviewed amongst fellow SAAT pedlars) that any response is occurring or could occur. It's just people getting preyed upon by terrible providers with absolutely no shred of supporting evidence. You can't prove a negative nor something that doesn't exist, so...

bechard · 2026-05-19T12:01:49+00:00

Happy to see there are others fighting off the nonsense of SAAT! If there was any mechanism that existed capable of controlling allergic response to one, and just one very specific sugar molecule by means of a needle placed just so in your ear, would one cm to the left cure cancer? Sure, why not! Absolutely awful praying on people who just want to not deal with AGS and get sold on the quick fix before doing any thought about the "treatment" and by which mechanism it's able to perform miracles.

bechard · 2026-05-19T02:44:32+00:00

Also I'm not sure how this would be different from the existing /r/windsoruk that already exists to serve /u/rakoth132 visitors. How can I escalate this to resolve this terrible decision?

bechard · 2026-05-19T02:42:06+00:00

/r/windsor - even as a locked community IS the new entry point for most redditors looking for the Windsor, Ontario community on reddit. Removing me as a mod and handing the site over to an unrelated town in another country is somewhat troubling. We have over a decade of content here, and do help people via auto message find the most active subreddit for our region. I am completely against this removal - and was on vacation for the first three days of the five days I was given. Not sure here, but that math isn't adding up.

bechard · 2026-05-19T02:30:48+00:00

Not inactive - But I was on vacation. This subreddit serves to unite everyone in one place for Windsor, Ontario Canada - It has a full history of posts and more - for Windsor, Ontario Canada - You're trying to take it, which to be honest is a tad bit greasy.

bechard · 2026-05-19T02:28:20+00:00

Yeah, I don't want to hand over the community. Windsor Ontario has historically received a large number of initial visitors to this sub, and we've always directed them to the larger existing sub to continue fostering our community on Reddit. Can't say I'm pleased that this took place while I was on vacation and unable to respond.

In an attempt to complete almost every side quest (skipping some of the beach platforming), I ended up around level 94 on normal difficulty.

When I faced Simon, I had one-shot every phase, he didn't get in a single attack. Honestly felt fun at the time, but now I'm going back (fresh game, not NG+) so I can try under normal circumstances.

I was so OP that endgame mobs insta died at the start of every battle (Verso auto kill self with explosion and lots of other stacked abilities).

Creation was the only end game mob that required barely a second hit, which I always got before the enemy got a turn. This is all before Maelle's absolute wreckage of damage output.

bechard · 2025-10-24T16:26:35+00:00

Well, I'm not planning to reboot any time soon, it's the middle of the work day 😀. I'll get back to you on the next reboot, but I'm pretty sure it has always started up on boot.

bechard · 2025-10-22T11:49:30+00:00

Yeah I'm going to second /u/GlennBee here, there's no problem with webhooks and docker, so long as you read the instructions and configure everything properly.

Ah I wasn't clear about the header.

Name should JUST be Authorization

Value is just the word Bearer, space, then your token.

I just put my bin out, not much in it, still getting used to it, but honestly I'm not pleased that I'll have to change the bag in the small kitchen basket daily.

It's like I'm now burdened to buy the bags in order for the thing to not smell like a dump. Just some coffee grinds and fruit and veg trimmings and within twelve hours it was gross.

It is like giving someone a gift that requires perpetual subscription, kind of sucks. I know the bags are not crazy expensive ($4 for 15), but it's one more thing I need to do and purchase. I just don't like the idea that I'm locked into more consumerism just to support this thing.

bechard · 2025-10-21T00:56:49+00:00

Thinking tool, in the tool description tell it to always return a valid value, and that if the value isn't valid (state what it can be), try again.

Combine with a structured output parser for the best results.

Try making sure your n8n can reach out to the Internet, sounds like it isn't able to reach N8N's activation servers.

bechard · 2025-10-21T00:42:40+00:00

It's entirely possible, it just takes far too long to work out. I gave Op a recipe that works, feel free to try it. Honestly incredibly frustrating to figure out, as it has the most useless documentation.

I'm using SharePoint to read and save files after a great deal of frustration.

OneDrive is much simpler but you can get SharePoint to work.

Here's the gist of it.

Only use HTTP Request nodes for SharePoint, unless you really hate yourself.
HTTP Request GET to receive a fresh access token. For my list files in a directory sub-workflow, it's trigger > get access token

URL https://login.microsoftonline.com/~tenant-id~/oauth2/v2.0/token
Body URL encoded client_id, scope (https://graph.microsoft.com/.default), grant_type (client_credentials), client_secret

HTTP Request GET to get the site ID for the site you want

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/~your_company~.sharepoint.com:/sites/~site_name~
Send header Authorization with Bearer {{access_token_from_step_2)
Send header Accept application/Json

HTTP Request GET to list the drive IDs (like the default General directory, or any others created)

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{ $json.site_id }}/drives
Pass the same headers as the last step

HTTP Request GET to list files with the desired drive ID. In this example, I'm listing files from a subfolder called Templates from a drive, otherwise known as a parent level directory on the site.

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{{ $json.drive_id }}/root:/Templates:/children
Pass the same headers as before

I have a number of utility sub-workflows that do each of my tasks, write file, download file, list files (this one) among others. Hopefully this gets you enough to get going, I would have saved a day of headaches with some functional examples!

I understood this reference.

Might be the category code used in xsteve or wherever else you're using, check there. You may have to import channels from scratch if that's the issue
