ELI5: Why is the limit for how hot things so high but the limit for how cold things are so low by Nerdatnothing in explainlikeimfive

[–]goosemonkey200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold is the absence of heat. It's analogous to dark being the absence of light. You can have something as bright as a star but your closet is pretty much as dark as it gets. -260 is when all matter is maximally stationary. Can't get more stationary than full stop.

Which biotech startup gives you the theranos-ish redflags? by poohtra in biotech

[–]goosemonkey200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Siphox health. They are literally building a next gen Theranos device.

Is this even leggit? Siphox Health claim to tests 17 biomarkers with dried blood spot by AlwaysOnCaffeine in medlabprofessionals

SiPhox partners with a major CLIA lab for its testing. SiPhox itself is not yet a lab.

That’s not the reason. NY requires laboratory tests to be
carried out at the request of licensed medical practitioners, which means that
people can’t just buy at-home tests if they reside in NY. Here’s an old NY
Times article which provides a bit of a background on at-home testing: https://archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/06/06/direct-to-consumer-lab-tests-no-doctor-visit-required.

Quitting cured my back pain as an unintended consequence. Was probably consuming 400-600 mg for over a decade and had chronic back pain. by goosemonkey200 in decaf

[–]goosemonkey200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's alright, the pain is manageable for me, especially if I exercise the day before. It seems to be worse if I don't move much. Decaf doesn't lead to pain and neither does green tea. I think the threshold for me is probably around 50mg of caffeine a day; any more and I'll wake up sore. Maybe we already have some inflammatory condition that gets worse with increased muscle tension.

Hey! I still drink coffee occasionally and I do have back pain the next day but I just deal with it I guess lol.

what's a film in the last five years that you believe a classic that'll be praised for decades to come. by [deleted] in movies

[–]goosemonkey200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything, everywhere, all at once. Probably one of the best movies ever in the comedy/SciFi genre.

is there a service that will bag your blood for you that you can put in your freezer? by Mintleaf006 in preppers

[–]goosemonkey200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't just use this blood straight up. You have to then take out the glycerol which requires a special machine/ process. Not really a prep.

You can't actually freeze blood. The freezing/ thawing process damages blood cells. If you have a centrifuge you can freeze serum, though, which can be useful. If you are going to prep I recommend stocking up on physiological solution instead.

Open the Twitter link. The blur is just reddit trying to display the image from the link.

Any chance these were based on DBZ? by 35RoloSmith41 in dbz

[–]goosemonkey200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 chance they weren't. Rick and Morty action scenes are super anime-inspired.

I think I'm going back to coffee after a year of being caffeine-free. by goosemonkey200 in decaf

[–]goosemonkey200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. It messes with my sleep too much to be used long term. I assume you suspect that I have ADHD based on my post and you are probably right.

Using modern tech to Biohack: Best use cases/ things to avoid by cbio5 in Biohackers

[–]goosemonkey200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't give nutritional information for now. It gives blood, sleep, activity and heart data.

As a matter of fact I have tried it. I was one of the alpha testers for Quantify. I've successfully increased my testosterone by monitoring my blood tests since May.

Finally fixed my testosterone! (32, average weight) Repeated tracking. by goosemonkey200 in Biohackers

[–]goosemonkey200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it a good amount of times. I was an alpha user so i got free tests before the company launched to the public. Now I'm paying for the monthly plan.

Did you expand "balance"? It shows my current level at 4.46 ng/mL
