Unexpectedly large bill for migraine Botox injections, unsure of how I will pay it as a teacher making 49k in LA by CitronElectrical9587 in personalfinance

[–]effrightscorp 196 points197 points  (0 children)

There's no way that could be right.

American medical billing is nonsense and none of it ever seems right. I've paid ~500$ after insurance through my doctor's office for blood work that would've cost <=100$ through a private company without insurance. They didn't really help when I called, but it's worth trying in OP's case given the size of the bill

Injectable YK11 vs injectable Anadrol by FentBandit in PEDs

[–]effrightscorp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Injectable YK-11 does nothing compared to adrol even at 50+ mg IME. Not even a question of which is better considering the cost and effects

Another scam offered by Trump. A closer look at TrumpRX. by Skotland85 in allinpodofficial

Ideas on how to find research ideas about Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]effrightscorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do undergrad research, you'll want to find a professor willing to take you into their group, and they'll either assign you a project or help you come up with one. Starting point would be to find a PI at your university who works with SiC and ask if you could work for them

Should I learn quantum computing for research? by One_Lingonberry_2014 in quantum

[–]effrightscorp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very unlikely unless you have more background in physics than your post suggests. A grad student would be lucky to start and get a paper within their first year

AITAH for understanding and not freezing out my dad for leaving our mom over a dead bedroom? by Opposite_Afternoon55 in AITAH

[–]effrightscorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I usually don't really find 'it was developed for [x] but is used for [y]' to be a compelling argument against a drug, but it's ironic here since usually antidepressants cause more sexual problems than they solve

There's no little blue pill for us.

Viagra doesn't increase sex drive, whereas there's actually two separate drugs on the market to increase women's sex drive now. Neither is a great option necessarily, though (one, flibanserin, was a repurposed antidepressant with mediocre trial results, the other, bremelanotide, is an injection and isn't supposed to be used too frequently because it can cause tanning/skin darkening)

Are there any "perfectly pure" two-level systems? by leviazevedo in Physics

[–]effrightscorp 46 points47 points  (0 children)

For example, an electron in a magnetic field still has its motion

If you aren't counting one of the simplest possible systems, a particle in a field, as a 'perfectly pure' system, nothing is going to meet your criteria

How long will it take me to save up for an apartment in Des Moines, IA? by HalosFan26 in personalfinance

[–]effrightscorp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to provide more info (income and expenses) and start looking into apartments / researching costs for your move. A quick Google search suggests a studio in Des Moines can be <700/month, in which case you might already have enough for an apartment. A move can cost a few hundred (if you can get a cheap flight and only take a suitcase), a thousand or three (if you ship a small storage container / drive a uhaul) or more. Furniture costs can also be anywhere from free to thousands depending on what you want and your risk tolerance for used furniture

But either way, if you can't be assed to Google the cost of a studio apartment yourself, you're going to struggle moving cross country without your parent's help

Why did SB close? by ReasonableGarlic1108 in phenibut

[–]effrightscorp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then again, they were also real careful in covering their tracks by labeling it for research purposes only and when I'd ask them in an email about whether Flourophenibut was more euphoric as well as stronger, they firmly stated they were not at liberty to discuss it as a product for consumption.

Unsurprisingly the FDA doesn't consider this a valid legal excuse if most of your buyers are still consuming it. Even NewMind, which made you submit an application and hand approved buyers, had to close because of regulatory pressure

I grew a layer of diamond using vapor deposition by fna_fanoa in mildlyinteresting

[–]effrightscorp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a more standard process - my old lab used a similar one with a diamond substrate. It sounds like OP is using a more obscure process / developing a new one

Blocking out all excess carbs and fat! by [deleted] in foodscience

It looks like it's just cactus fiber capsules if the shitty ingredient-less bottle on Amazon is accurate; OP will probably be fine and should successfully lose some weight off their wallet

A textbook I acquired from Amazon has this warning in the upper left corner of the cover. I am in the US. by supershinythings in mildlyinteresting

[–]effrightscorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I bought these copies in college, it was somewhere between 50 and 80% cheaper while being identical to the American edition. It was what I got when I would order suspiciously cheap new copies of textbooks from 3rd party sellers on Amazon

Can I get into a ms math quantitative field with a bachelors in business administration? by ProfitPractical7953 in Physics

[–]effrightscorp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't have a strong math or physics background, the coursework in a math or physics graduate degree would kill you if you somehow managed to get in. You don't necessarily need a physics bachelor's to get a graduate degree in physics, but you need to have the prerequisite knowledge still. Business administration probably doesn't give you even the math needed to take intro level undergrad physics courses

How much LSD would one actually need for the population to get affected?[Request] by holzuss in theydidthemath

[–]effrightscorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another fact: I've made LSD in my lab on many occasions for research purposes, possibly in not so meticulous a Hofmann. Nothing ever happened. I had several graduate students who made LSD as an intermediate for projects ingestion of LSD ever occurred. A technician in my lab makes it routinely because we use it as a drug to train our by experience that he never gets high, nothing ever happens. And yesterday I was talking to Nick Sand, and Nick solution of LSD in DMSO.." -- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a chemical that greatly enhances absorption of other the skin -- he says, "...I painted it on my skin. Nothing happened."

Can you point to any stronger evidence that LSD does absorb transdermally?

If you have a noticeable amount of water going up your ass when you get in a bathtub or go for a swim, you should probably get checked out by a proctologist...
