Tirzepatide, a potion of regeneration for me
On the recommendation of posters here at the Motte erwgv3g34 / solowingpixy to read this useful article, my health has shown great improvement only 3 weeks in.
After reading the Cremieux Recueil article, I immediately wanted to get some retatrutide. However, buying peptides directly, mixing it with bacteriostatic water, then injecting it seemed too daunting for me, a person completely unfamiliar to self-administered injections. I compromised by settling for compounded tirzepatide premixed vials, which is what I'm using now. Compared to the retail monthly price, I'm paying exactly 1.67% of the uninsured cash price at my current dosage, making it extremely affordable.
The benefits? I've lost about a pound per week with mild to moderate hunger suppression. My blood sugar feels more stable. I'm current taking a low dose of 2.0mg weekly, which is lower that the recommended starting dose of 2.5mg. I was concerned about side effects as a tested borderline type 2 diabetic, so I thought it was best to go low and slow. Personally, I feel no serious side effects - the only annoying thing is that my body is warmer at night - probably from increased metabolism.
The greatest, most unexpected benefit is that I think my skin is regenerating. Yes, you heard that right. I've long had skin tags in my armpit. Last month, before starting any tirzepatide, I grew a new annoying skin tag on my neck making it difficult to shave. My dad has the same issue with skin tags, and he warned me not to attempt cutting them off as from his personal experience they would bleed profusely and then grow back. My dad's dermatologist warned him from trying to remove any further skin tags.
Well guess what, the new neck skin tag fell off after the second dose of tirzepatide, and healed fully without a scar by the third week. I thought that might just be a coincidence with my tirzepatide dose, but I decided to keep a close watch on the skin tags in my armpit. There are two skin tags there that have been bothering me for at least 10 years.
I just took a shower one hour ago and I noticed a black ball in my armpit hair while washing, that I quickly recognized as dead, shed-off skin. I am ecstatic. The top skin tag in my armpit has shriveled up and left a tiny bump. The lower armpit skin tag remains, but it looks like it is getting both longer and thinner. If anyone told me that tirzepatide had a chance to remove skin tags, I would have taken it for this benefit alone.
Will report on my health in a few more weeks. For me, I don't see a need to get retatrutide now as tirzepatide already seems to be very effective and cheap.
Fun or not, I'm glad you mentioned Kavinsky's passing. I only know his Nightcall song from youtube, but it is one of my top favorites. Thanks for the links to his other works.
There is a certain sadness to Nightcall, but also a feeling of the easy confidence to overcome all challenges. It's that uneasy balance between sadness and confidence that makes the song really good, I used to use it as workout music before a bench press or squat set. I would in fact do my other exercises first listening to whatever, and before the most difficult part of the workout Nightcall had to be playing or it didn't feel right.
Oh, I used a more upbeat remix of Nightcall by breakbot for workouts. This remix.

Dunno. The thrill of permadeath makes trash fights captcha fights. Swingy damage only makes it more...exciting? Or its supposed to be like that at least.
Tab fighting in DCSS is great though. But I miss the old days of carrying rations and food, it gave the game more character.

I'm more surprised that in 2019 anybody still identifies as Soviet. It's a been a few decades since their fall, c'mon now. Maybe the Soviet Jews came in such large numbers that they have some different subculture or something. Anybody know?
My local groundwater was contaminated and has been the focus of a regional cleanup effort over decades, with the cleanup pumps are still actively filtering the water. About half of my neighbors have both water softening and a undersink RO system for their families. It wasn't that expensive compared to buying bottled or delivered water either, about $300 for the RO system and ~$150 in yearly replacement filters.

Can anyone comment on the dangers of drinking low total dissolved solids (TDS) reverse osmosis water on general health, especially with a baby in the home? I recently installed a reverse osmosis filter and then discovered that low TDS water can potentially be dangerous because of a lack of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphate. My RO filter doesn't have a remineralization add-on.
One reverse osmosis study from India
Assume that me and my baby otherwise have the very best foods and baby formula available. Some random reddit comments indicate that eating a high quality diet filled with meats, fish, and vegetables accounts for 97% of mineral intake, so there's no need to worry. Or is there? Is reverse osmosis water unusually leeching of minerals in some way?
I'm not that worried for myself because I add in keto salts for my water while fasting, so my water is already remineralized. But is it bad for a growing child? I'm not feeding my family the typical SAD diet, they get the best home cooked meals made with fresh groceries that we can afford.

Found it, interesting. As for the "people" not listening to your comments and downvoting (cymbal sleeve), maybe it could just be bots? Dead internet theory and all that.

Now I am curious to see the content of your cymbal amd castiron posts, as well as the comments.

Wouldn't NYC or even Los Angeles be more relevant than Miami for keeping Jews in Burgerland? What's special about Miami?
This was my understanding as well. Don't ghetto babies usually become ghetto adults who are an even greater net drain on the country in terms of crime, prisoner maintenance, etc? A country should avoid increasing the amount of ghetto adults, you reduce future ghetto adults by avoiding ghetto babies in the present.
The ghetto adults would have not contributed much labor or taxes to the retirements of normal retired adults in many situations.

Are the little ghetto babies a drain on government finances or not? I'm confused by your logic. Maybe a missing word somewhere?

Nuclear power opposition has probably aggravated the air quality problems we have from burning all that excess coal. It's the most annoying thing about environmentalists.

Sunni Islam, Roman Catholicism, or maybe Christianity as a whole is the organization with the largest amount of organic female voluntary adherents. Groupies for God, if you will.

Yeah. I looked briefly into DIY CR Box air purifiers, and while they can be quieter, more efficient and/or cheaper I don't have the time or skill to craft them. Easier to spend $200 at Costco and get a ready made purifier, and snag sone KN95 masks off Amazon for when you need to be outside.

EU5 is so boring I can't even bear to watch my favorite EU4 streamers play it. Too much realism spoils the fun.

Costco.com, Winix C909 air purifier. It comes with a 2-year supply of replacement filters, which is a better deal than can be found at Amazon. Depending on the size of your home, get multiple.
I bought 2 and some jackasses stole the extra filters and returned it to Costco, then Costco shipped it to me. Had to return it and get a replacement. It was easy to rebox though.

It is surely the shady online services, and sometimes even cutting out the shady middlemen to buy direct from shady Chinese suppliers. It's the only way to get retatrutide at the moment. For tirzepatide, online compunding pharmacies abound. I don't think most people prefer semaglutide when it has been outclassed by the reta and tirz.

I got off the fence thanks to posts like this praising GLPs. In particular, thank you @erwgv3g34 for your post on Cremieux Recueil.
I'm getting compounded tirzepatide shipped to me at the moment. What I really wanted was retatrutide, but I'm too scared to buy the peptides without an intermediary pharmacy verifying the quality. I expect reta to eventually be available to compunding pharmacies at some point, so I will stock up on reta then if tirz is no longer effective for me.
While waiting for Reta, I might try your trick of a month off and using Cagrilintide as an alternative. So many options these days.

I see. In my time, the girls who met me at a location instead of me picking them up weren't seriously interested in me. Things are different now I suppose. I feel that if the guy picks the girl up the start of the relationship it just feels more normal/correct, it's a sign of female interest and trust in the guy with her physical safety. How times change.
I was hoping @Skulldrinker would read my comment attached to yours. (Mild) autism in men is usually unappealing to women, so it takes a bit more effort to get in a long term relationship. After a long term relationship is established it isn't a detriment to the woman's satisfaction, so rather than giving up he should just keep trying.
Skulldrinker is a bit mentally damaged by his ideal woman who returned to her ex, but if he keeps at it he may find a better partner.
Specifically, I would reccommend changing his physical location to a different part of the country or another country altogether.
BYU is going to be a good choice for you. I'm going to add on a few things. If you have the funds for it, I think you should think about taking a light course load the first year and plan to graduate in 4.5 or 5 years. Although, freshman-level classes are typically very easy, so you might breeze through even with a lot of classes. You would use the extra time joining clubs and/or service organizations to network with more people. Try a lot of different groups and stick with the groups you enjoy the most. There will probably never be another period of your life that you will have social access to young, single, virginal, and upwardly mobile women in great quantity and concentration. Since you prefer slightly older women, consider taking more elective-classes like foreign language that students of all ages enroll in.
Not mentioned yet is Black Clover. It has a really rough slow and boring start, but is good once it gets going. This is one of the few fighting animes my wife also enjoys, unlike Demon Slayer which is too bloody for her.
The Seven Deadly Sins is also a good action/comedy/sprinkle of romance with minimal blood and gore. Despite the name the setting is medieval european fantasy with arthurian flavor.
