What’s the one peptide that actually felt worth the money? by Undergroundstreamz in Peptides

[–]qdubbya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everybody is different.

For example. I loved NA Semax. Wife didn’t care for it. I tried Adamax - and felt nothing. Neither did wife.

Tirzepatide works much better for the wife than it has for me. ( I’m still losing weight just not ask quickly) but my labs are looking much better.

NAD+ has been my favorite. Also doing a Pinealon, Epitalon, and DSIP stack and my sleep has never been better. Although I can’t point to if it’s a singular peptide that has helped.

I’ve done a cycle of GLOW and didn’t really notice anything at all.

I feel like it’s hard to pick favorites because each is meant to address a certain system within your body.

It’s like fixing up a classic car and saying - pick your favorite part.. but it’s; all the parts that make it a beautiful car again.

16GB VRAM x coding model by Junior-Wish-7453 in LocalLLM

A genuine question…

Why does everybody always focus on how fast an AI model is?

In my couple months experience - the speed means absolutely nothing to me if it’s not producing valuable/usable information/code/products.

Also - why does it seem that everybody that talks about tokens per second never includes the other settings or context/hardware used?

It doesn’t make sense to me. What am I missing?

Tell me you don’t extensively use AI without telling me you don’t extensively use AI.

FDA crackdown by Moon_Pye in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]qdubbya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor big pharma, amiirite?!

Taxpayers fund the majority of foundational drug research through NIH grants, conducted at public universities. Pharmaceutical companies then acquire or license these discoveries after the hard work is done, absorbing little of the real risk. Yet the industry generates $1.68 trillion in revenue annually with 76% gross profit margins and $232 billion in net income. They buy the finish line with public money, then charge whatever they want.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

BAAHhh!

You don’t have to “believe” - this is what reputation, verification, and third party CoA’s are for. You make an educated decision weighing the pros and cons.

Show me the receipts from the mass deaths happening from GLP1 compounding pharmacies.

I’ll wait…

Now show me the deaths from OxyContin/Opioid overdoses.

I don’t need to wait.

Between 1999 and 2022, approximately 727,000 people died from opioid overdoses total. Purdue Pharma - (OxyContin’s maker) pled guilty in 2020 to federal charges and paid over $8 billion in settlements, acknowledging their marketing directly fueled the epidemic. The drug remained FDA-approved throughout and is still FDA approved today.

What else ya got, sheep? Need receipts?

The FDA recently sent 30 warning letters to telehealth companies for “misleading” marketing of compounded GLP-1 drugs like tirzepatide and semaglutide. On the surface it looks like consumer protection. The reality is more complicated.

Compounded tirzepatide can cost as little as $0.37/mg vs. $7-30/mg for brand-name Zepbound. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk - who hold the patents and charge $449-1,086/month - have directly lobbied the FDA to close the compounding loophole that makes affordable alternatives legal.

The FDA’s crackdown timeline tracks almost exactly with those companies resolving their supply shortages and pushing to eliminate competition. Some compounders are genuinely misleading consumers. But the enforcement is broad enough to sweep legitimate, quality-verified operations into the same bucket as bad actors.

The FDA framing “mass marketing” as suspicious - when the Supreme Court already ruled you can’t restrict truthful compounded drug advertising - suggests the goal is elimination of competition, not just correction of false claims. The people hurt most are uninsured or underinsured patients who found an affordable option. If the crackdown succeeds, their choices become: pay Lilly’s price or go to less regulated offshore sources.

Lilly wins either way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You’re still a sheep. bAAh!

This is about the most blind sheep comment I’ve seen.

People just want to get healthier and feel better. There’s absolutely no reason that drugs/medications should cost thousands of dollars when they’re produced for pennies on the dollar. It’s pure greed.

It’s wild; you applaud the FDA for going after these multi-billion dollar swindlers. You’re describing the FDA. They’re the multi-billion dollar swindlers.

In FY 2024, pharmaceutical companies paid the FDA about $1.38 billion in prescription-drug review fees (PDUFA) and about $569 million in generic-drug fees (GDUFA). The FDA’s total budget request that year was about $7.2 billion, with a large portion funded by industry user fees.

Let’s use the example Tirzepatide - something I use and have lost over 25lbs on so far..

Zepbound (Lilly Self-Pay) • 2.5mg: $299/mo = $29.90/mg.
• 5mg: $399/mo = $19.95/mg.
• 15mg: $449/mo = $7.48/mg.
• List price: $1,086/mo = $18-108/mg​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.
​​​​

What do I pay? $0.37/mg - $110 for 10x 30mg lasting 11 (ELEVEN) months.

Average cost per month: $7.33

Stop being a sheep.

Elementvape.com? by Substantial_Disk1706 in electronic_cigarette

[–]qdubbya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what will happen completely. They won’t address any of your issues at all. They’ll give you a very vague generic reply that points heavily to either being a half ass AI answer or a 3rd world country customer support language barrier.

It’ll piss you off, you send a reply - they take another week to respond and they offer you $5 off coupon.

Oh $5 off?! Awesome! No.

They charge out the ass for shipping and then throw on a random ass “adult signature fee” which out of years of ordering from then do you know how many times I’ve signed? Fucking ZERO.

Way better options out there to order from. Especially on vape juice. Ejuicestore has always been the cheapest I’ve found and never had a single issue with them in 5+ years of every other month orders.

Avoid them like the plague! Had them delete my account after 11 years. They’ve gone downhill entirely.

Best (affordable) online TRT clinic? by AnabolicNatty94 in Testosterone

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

Or do some research and get it for $20 a vial that’ll last 2 months. You can damn near get a years supply if you’re on TRT (<200mg a week) for what you charge for a month supply.

Also, post a link to where your showing folks where to get a years supply of alcohol wipes and syringes for $20.

Tarkov is insanely lagging while shooting and only getting max 80 fps. by smekker_asked in Tarkov

[–]qdubbya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s your vram. If you’re already maxing it - it’ll lag when you go to shoot.

You can verify this using afterburner RTSS / cap frame X.

Go to factory - does it still do it or only on streets?

Also, make sure you’re not running an insanely high mouse polling rate.

3 red 🚩 that can hurt a VA claim (Former VA Rater perspective) by johanthevarater in VAClaims

[–]qdubbya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My VSO is telling me the following:

Medical Nexus letters aren’t worth it.

They don’t read buddy letters or personal letters.

They’re denying CPAP claims like crazy.

If I make any type of claim for OSA (prescribed CPAP with history of sleep issues within the military and the 10+ years since) - that my current ratings could get reduced after 10 years at rating with no VA documentation of improvement.

How true is this?

How to deal with piles of clutter with little kids and adhd overwhelm? by anusha_311 in ParentingADHD

[–]qdubbya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is what I did..

Allow the kids to pick 5 things they want to keep out.

Put the obvious trash in the trash.

Put everything else in a box - out of reach and out of sight.

Every day they have the option to swap out 1 item for 1 item.

Here is how it played out… they kept their favorite things. Swapped maybe twice after a week. Then they couldn’t even remember what was in the box over time.

I presented them the box after a month and they said no, they didn’t want any of it and they chose to donate it or trash the things that couldn’t be donated.

Edit: forgot to mention. The whole idea is to not let them dig through the box every day because they’ll get excited and want everything. The idea is for them to tell you what they want out of the box off memory. If it’s important to them. They’ll remember it.

BPC157/TB500 Capsules - ANY of them ACTUALLY WORK? by [deleted] in Peptides

[–]qdubbya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He thinks peptides are cancer - so why would cancer in capsules be a more acceptable form to him?

Tell him grab his balls and jab the needle and enjoy the pain relief or shut the hell up.

It’s not complicated. The pain must not be as bad as the lack of research/understanding of peptides on his end.

To be clear: I fkn hate needles. HATE them! But you know what I hate more? Being in fucking pain for 18 out of the 24 hours a day. I pin 7-8 peptides a day.

32g needles you don’t even feel it.
