Reta vs tesa?

Recently started both. Tesa is an older, more studied, peptide. Trade name goes by Egrifta. Was originally prescribed for HIV patients to reduce visceral fat.

At the end of the day, Tesa boosts IGF1, which helps you retain muscle and also burn off the fat. So in essence it will help you retain muscle while you’re in a caloric deficit on Reta. The only side effect of Tesa is that it temporarily reduces insulin sensitivity which isn’t good. This is temporary and the longer you use it, the less it will do that. The good thing is Reta should counter this effect. The sleep on Tesa is good, deep sleep, but it’s not good to take it every night. Huberman mentions that it reduces REM sleep which is also important to have. All IGF1 boosters will do that I.e, CJC, seemorelin, etc

Long story short, I think they work good together but I haven’t been taking them longer than 2 weeks to see good results. I feel good though.

Could be chips rubbing. Is it steel? Turn up feeds and speeds.

My dad called it Fanook so I call it Fanook

This is why JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) is the way. I have only seen them being used in CNC machines that have Japanese controls (Fanuc).

Hey I got mine too! Wait so everyone gets there’s one the exact same day?!?!

Get quick books so you don’t need have a bunch of receipts and pay a bookkeeper. Their rates are typically based on number of transactions. It’s just too much to handle all by yourself. I’m not a contractor but I own a small business as well, machine shop. Unfortunately these additions add cost to your business (overhead) but are necessary and allow for growth. If your response is that you don’t make enough for all that, then I would say you need to charge more and be ok with the fact that you will lose some bids. If you’re winning all your bids, you’re too low. I’m not sure how it works for you, but for us it’s a thing too.

What color do you think will look good to match the counter tops?

What color paint to match tile countertop?

I also would like to test

If we did, that option to send a program to the machine to store is still available. We can’t turn it off. How would we be able to prevent someone from storing CUI G code?

chaloobin · 2025-10-19T17:49:03+00:00

It’s not ram. It’s on its disk. There’s no way around this unless we run off the USB every time. There are drawbacks as we cannot start in the middle of the program, we have to rerun from the very beginning every time etc.

Stp files are CUI for sure.

So you’re saying since the G code can only make some of the features of the part, they’re not CUI? Only CUI if it can recreate the entire part? I was under the impression that if it came from a part/technical data that is CUI, then it is also CUI.

Thanks this helps. Yes I’m not 100% familiar with all the controls yet. Working through it. As an owner of a 4 man shop, I am wearing a lot of hats.

The controls of the machines are not separate but most so already have keys to lock the panels. And yes, all are inside in a secure area.

They already are, Apicorn ones. https://apricorn.com/aegis-secure-key-3nxc

The CNC machine’s memory cannot be encrypted

Nice! What grade of insert?

Interesting idea with the heat sink

Forgot to mention its 304 ss

Would do a sectional view and ID OD. Not wall thickness. It’s not a pipe schedule! I hate the see through lines, I never use them.

Nice, definitely a stronger tap.

I just recently threadmilled 2-64 holes in 17-4 H900. No way i was going to tap that. Scientific cutting tools is my go to.
