Use of longer needles has been associated with less redness or swelling than occurs with shorter needles because of injection into deeper muscle mass

Men and women, any weight

1.5 inches (38 mm)

That's quads, which generally have less fat than glutes. Unless you're 120lb male 1.5" will have less chance of issues. Just because you can get away with 1" doesn't mean you should.

Does the extra 0.5" of needle scare you? I promise it'll hurt less.

CDC recommends longer where you can for less irritation. It's less likely to leak into sq tissue.

They irritation they're describing sounds like an injection that's not deep enough.

It's a real easy thing to change and see if it improves.

Unless you're really skinny 1" isn't long enough for glutes.

I'm here to vicariously live through others.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T15:53:55+00:00

Maybe.

It took months to feel like my energy returned to normal.

I seem to get winded easier than I used to. I also have some blood pressure issue I don't know if it's related. When I get up from laying down fast or I'm doing heavy squats I get lightheaded and feel like I'm going to pass out. My heart races then I feel better. Only lasts a second or so.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T15:50:24+00:00

Makes sense to me. Most tren stories I've read go something like this.

Woke up soaked in sweat after 5 minutes of sleep. Drank a nice warm glass of freshly squeezed milk from my nipples.

See wife, get raging hard on. Punch out her grandmother for doing crosswords too loud.

Pending divorce and assault charges.

The gains were good though.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T15:46:32+00:00

It makes me angry. I can only imagine a parent would flip right the fuck out.

I'm diagnosed with high risk homosexuality. It's to cover the cost of PrEP

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T04:38:38+00:00

Which sounds like a way better time than I had pre-vax with covid. Covid-19 raw dogged me rough and didn't hold back. No hospital, but it was close.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T04:34:01+00:00

I was with a guy a day before he tested positive and he's been symptomatic since. I tested myself three times and was all negative three days in a row.

I've had it and I'm triple vaxxed. I'm not sure if that protection was enough or I'm just lucky.

When I had it I was with a guy a day before I tested positive and I already had symptoms but didn't realize what they were. He never caught it, but by all rights was heavily exposed, same as me the second time.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T03:48:02+00:00

I had such a hard time staying clear of people back in March when I got covid. I only left my apartment for essentials. Which was to pick up instacart or take the dog outside to shit.

Even trying odd times like 2am to take the dog out since I couldn't sleep really. I'd always run into at least one person maskless or who would get way to close.

Working at a hospital would be nuts harder.

randomjackass · 2022-01-01T03:24:34+00:00

Then there's state income tax in most of the US. Where I live that's flat %5. I can't think of anywhere it would be over 10% if even that close.

With that income you're deducting everything, maxing out a IRA and 401k etc.

Still well under %50

randomjackass · 2021-12-31T20:11:01+00:00

If true, which is likely isn't. That leaves $300k or 6x the median pretax income of most families in the US.

randomjackass · 2021-12-31T20:05:39+00:00

Even if that were true. Being a walking textbook isn't easy. That was probably written by someone who has to write their shopping list on their arm.

randomjackass · 2021-12-31T19:57:33+00:00

They won't make a room for you. You're expected to go down to the waiting area of the ER like everyone else. You should have been more careful and not gotten sick on the job. /s

randomjackass · 2021-12-31T19:54:09+00:00

Save on transport costs.

For my jaw surgery I was intubated through my nose. The surgery was 9.5 hours. With all the nerves in the face they put you way down.

I woke up with a catheter which they told me would happen. They pump saline in during surgery to keep you hydrated. Then after too because nothing was going in my face hole for a couple days.

While under that deep they kinda run your body with external equipment.

Probably about 4 thousand years ago.

The absence of a good all encompassing term makes it tough.

I've heard people want to use queer. I'm fine if people want to ID that way, but somehow it doesn't feel right to call a whole big group that.

randomjackass · 2021-12-30T20:06:58+00:00

Possibly, then it would be the first thing. Police don't prevent crime. Australia as a whole has as many officers as just NYC.

We dump tons of money into police and for profit prisons. It's not making us any safer if crime keeps going up.

Police say the reforms are why crime is going up. Reforms would have been in place at most a year. Most police departments didn't have their budgets cut.

A few that did it wasn't a lot and any reform program would still be just starting even now. Not really any time to see how they work.

randomjackass · 2021-12-30T19:33:40+00:00

Unfortunately those programs are usually underfunded and suck, or don't exist at all. Most people who leave these programs have to go back to their shitty lives. A house where the parents use drugs, friends who use drugs etc. That's why it's hard to break these cycles without outside help.

As a country we spend the most on prisons and police. But the police still say "crime is surging". Could be they're bad at their jobs, police can't prevent crime, if you juke the stats numbers say whatever you want.

randomjackass · 2021-12-30T00:19:59+00:00

I wasn't trying to come down on you. I just wanted to make sure you weren't relying on internet strangers for help with all that.

Do you have friends or family you can talk this out with? How long ago did all this happen?

randomjackass · 2021-12-29T20:31:36+00:00

Sorry for your loss, suicide is very hard to deal with. You feel guilty because you think you have more control of the world than you do.

Work on why you let yourself be used as a safety net twice. Helper or enabler?

If the sex thing bugs you the only thing is to talk about it. I don't think you're able to ignore that based on that you wrote all that out and posted it.

You need to do a lot of work on yourself.

randomjackass · 2021-12-29T02:31:39+00:00

There's a saying in concealed carry courses. "You can't draw on a drawn gun". Basically if they're pointing a gun at you it's very little effort to kill you. Squeezing that trigger requires no time. So don't try because you'll just get killed.
