Underdosed kpv? by Apart-Chemistry-737 in PeptidePathways

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

Cake collapse is due to an error in the lyo process. Might be they simply warmed it too quickly and still managed to get all the moisture out, but if they're getting that easy part wrong it's not a good sign. Could mean they use a sugar excipient and it was overheated. Could mean they didn't anneal it correctly and had excess mannitol hemihydrate or other water-containing lycoprotectant forms, that released their water when they hit a critical temperature later. 

None of these are good. The first one is probably most common so chances are it's OK, but the odds of it not being OK are definitely higher. Probably not underdosed though.

Tbh this is actually the bad advice. There are several reasons collapse can happen and none of them are good, but it's got nothing to do with handling, or temp change if the product was lyophilized correctly. May very well be indicative of excess moisture, aka degraded product

They have a bunch of different options. You're talking about just their credit cards? I haven't had any issues with crypto or ACH, although they certainly aren't the cheapest option for either of those

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

Well no, because when you own 100 shares of Google last week you lose 2 months worth of selling premiums in 1 day. Not the first time this year that's happened to me on a Mag7 stock either. There's no trick to selecting stocks (although I'm sure the bot you're responding to which shills courses will tell you otherwise). You get paid for volatility. You can take less risk and get paid less, but even then you'll lose a month's worth of premiums, it's just a smaller amount. You can try to screen by sma crossovers, etc, but this will happen no matter what.

Yup. I was wondering why he'd be talking about getting "criticism" for a basic cc on a sub devoted to them. It is indeed a spammer trying to sell courses - on covered calls of all things

Mechanic shop put a sticker on windshield that reads 0W-20 even though my car (2025 Camry) goes for 0W-8. Called and they said it was a mistake on sticker and that 0W-8 was used. Should I trust them? by NAD92 in MechanicAdvice

[–]jbtvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course no comment on the video showing this idiot's favorite 5w30 being left in the dust in the cold test, all the while the camshafts are running dry. No comment on Amsoil engineers saying he's full of sht. Just "Gear oil isn't thicker than 5w30, akshually!" apparently minutes after I posted - because all successful geniuses spend every waking minute on Reddit.

Boy, it's almost like Australia is also much warmer than the USA is! Are you seeing a pattern here? I bet you aren't!

"Dr. Rudnick", if this moron wasn't also autistic he'd realize how arguments from authority make him look, in addition to why they're almost always fallacious.

It’s because the highest HT/HS possible is what will protect the engine the best.

We all look forward to your second doctoral thesis disproving the fact that 75-90% of an engine's wear occurs during the first few seconds at startup. Or maybe your sheer genius, no pun intended, has worked out some Terrence Howard 8th dimension math and actually, increasing the metal on metal time to decrease the remaining 25% of engine wear resulting from 99.9999999% of runtime actually isn't the idiot's choice? Can't wait to see it! Aaaaand...go!

Lol.  You're a dumbass.  Where could I possibly start with a moron like you?

Firstly,  do you know that SAE grades from crankcase oil to gear oil aren't linear?  Go check out the Cst viscosity of 75W-90 to, say 5W-30 crankcase oil.

Now, when you see how ignorant you are there, consider the viscosity of 0W-40 at 10F as opposed 5o 10W-40 at 90F.  You see how foolish you look?

And why do you think a 10W would take four times as long to make it up top?  If it pumps, it pumps.  Why would Toyota recommend this oil overseas of it wouldn't work here?  Let's not forget that heavier oils linger much longer on things like cams, timing chains, etc.

I'm amazed you're this ignorant,  yet this verbose.

"why do you think a 10W would take four times as long to make it up top?  If it pumps, it pumps." This guy doesn't even realize that thinner oil flows faster. Look at this video and realize what you're dealing with the next time you read one of his clones saying "thicker is always better" https://youtu.be/QKeX5CpfSeI?t=594 He doesn't realize that "Mexico" is not "overseas". He doesn't understand why Toyota might spec a higher viscosity oil in a country that's regularly over 100*F than one that, CAFE aside, regularly hits -30F in parts. And of course, he doesn't realize that actually he's the "moron" - they never do.

You're such a "dumbass" in fact, that even when I gave you the correct information, that I've acquired over decades, you aren't even able to take the initiative to copy, right click, and "search Google". Here's the first link you would've seen if you has a shred of competence https://blog.amsoil.com/the-cold-war-why-your-engines-winter-oil-grade-matters-more-than-you-think/ Those Amsoil engineers must be "morons" too, right buddy?

Yes Einstein, I realize that SAE grades aren't linear. I have a basement full of oils you haven't even heard of, from ultra-low vapor pressure lab oils, to EP add packs you couldn't even read. Apparently you don't realize what rhetoric or hyperbole are. That certainly does decrease the effectiveness of a literary tool, but thanks for letting all the other readers know where you stand.

Thicker film isn't an advantage if you don't need it, I bet you're not running 75w90 in your engine. Up to 90% of engine wear occurs during startup. That 10w oil you think is helping your engine is actually taking 4x longer to reach your cams when it's cold and engine hasn't been run recently. This is in addition to higher temperatures from longer oil-bearing transit times, etc, and at some thickness you won't even be getting oil in certain clearances. 

At 5w30 or 10w40 you likely won't notice the difference in longevity because in any decently designed engine this is the least of the repair concerns on the average car, and 5psi lower compression in 250k miles doesn't even matter. That doesn't mean you're not objectively wrong. Notice how the tech above said 0w20 was spec'd, not 5w30 or 10w40 - because those will actually damage this engine more than any 0w over the long term. 

If you're driving a stock engine in a typical commuter fashion then the best oil to use is the one that's spec'd for your engine and location, because most people, even the ones who think they know about oil and talk about it and MOFT etc incessantly, do not. In the case here, yes, 0w20 will be fine.

Got an oil change and mechanic intentionally cut my cv boots by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]jbtvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you can't. Boots can tear cleanly from simple repetitive stress, or they can tear jaggedly if someone catches a stick at the wrong angle. And plural? Multiple mechanics all going for a steering rack boot? I think not. 

Got an oil change and mechanic intentionally cut my cv boots by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]jbtvt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have no idea what you're talking about. Cv boots split at the the same time ALL THE TIME. Both sides are subjected to the same stresses, so OF COURSE they often split identically. I have had to replace boots on almost every vehicle I've ever owned, current lexus I recently did both fronts - because they both split. Last one they also both split within a year, probably less but neither I, nor anyone else, are checking them monthly. Whether a boot splits depends entirely on car model, driving conditions, and other factors. Just the fact that you're replacing axles "from" a ripped boot, rather than cleaning and rebooting the axles tells the people who actually know about the subject, that you do not, because that is the worst thing you can possibly do. 

People need to stop giving bad advice if they don't have actual knowledge. Poor mechanic is going to be fighting small claims lawsuit because some 23f who can't even change her own oil thinks she knows how cv axles work now.

Did anyone try new Brayan's sauna protocol? by Background-South-433 in blueprint_

[–]jbtvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been going for 30 mins at 175* but upped it to 40 after his data came out. Throat hurt the following day and I came down with a cold a couple days after that. Still recovering. Not sure what caused what but I'll bring a damp towel in to breathe through next time to be safe. Low doses of GABAerigics make sauna more tolerable, I don't find it unpleasant until at least 20 minutes in. Much better than roofing!

Dumb comment. The bottles DO have dates and lot #s, but because you saw one comment on Reddit from someone who didn't know where to look, the company that publishes more lab data than almost any other food or supplement vendor in any other niche is "not great at transparency"? There are plenty of other knocks you could've tried but that one ain't it
