Here's some forward video using the magnetic mount on my t-shirt: And tripod-mounted front video: 360 video...

It's the "Twin Edition" which has the front-facing action camera, plus the full 360. It's a neat setup where you can very quickly reconfigure it for different uses. https://amazon.com/dp/B09S5H6TYH I'm obsessive about protecting my cameras so they are perfect. I also added a silicone protector for the camera that's not in use, always stored in that, and then in a large system case. This is like, 1/3 of all the stuff. Oh yeah, wireless mic and mic adapter, which I've actually used in a helmet, and used for narrating creative/hobby videos. So much extra.

I decided to look and yeah, it's fucking complicated. Somatropin has 191 amino acids, the GLP-1s are in the 30s (so it's really a protein, not just peptide). There's so much to go wrong. Now, not all highly complex polypeptides are more fragile, it's just that their structure lends to more ways to go bad. And potentially more ways to defend themselves with folding. Proteins have ultra complex lives, and we know that so much of our food proteins "go bad" pretty quickly even with refrigeration. There are so many places for damage, and a bit of damage can result in a very dangerous protein. Bottom line: This is way fucking complicated. But I'm also pretty confident that you can't extrapolate anything from one to the other.

The camera thread reminded me to sell this thing. Any interest? I have no idea on price yet but it will be a good deal, otherwise it goes to eBay. It's a fun, and really good camera. It's the multi-lens/sensor kit to do 360 or regular action cam recording and pics. Thing is, I don't use it. I have used it, and it's good, and in the long run, I don't really care about videos. Takes great pictures, but my phone takes better pictures. It's faster for me to pop the phone out of the mount than to reach into a pocket for this. I have a really great mount and stick for it, so you can attach it to anything really. Solid tube/edge mount that simply won't fail no matter what, based on 1" Ram balls and solid clamps. Extra battery/charger, aluminum frame, remote, really the works. Underwater stuff, you name it. Fun. And I guess wasn't my thing in the long run.

I have only the barest awareness of what that is, but do know that it's a highly complex polypeptide, while the GLP-1s have a fraction of the number of acid chains and complexity. I don't know how that changes things however. The more potential linking sites in a peptide, the more potential "breakage" is my basic understanding from spending some time with a pharmacologist discussing it. And it's a growth hormone targeting totally different receptors. What I can tell you across nearly four years of this... Zero instances of any reports of a GLP-1 going bad across months of cold storage. I've run mine out to three months at least. MANY tests proving that it's still 97% or more intact. Zero tests showing bacteria, even after six months. On a different small molecule peptide, DSIP, I just keep it on my desk for daily usage. Since again, tests show most peps are room temp stable.

Back to the original question, there are a few good sources of Pfizer Hospira water at around $25 each. This sucks, as I am still working on a case I bought when the entire thing was $90. Eli Lilly got Pfizer to increase controls on the water being prescription, and it went to $300/case with singles having a huge markup. They'd rather we not have safe water in order to protect their patents.

It's always been official advice to store it in a cabinet, not the fridge. Not terrible either way. The official 28 days have been very thoroughly disproven by testing. Same for storing your mixed peptides. In short, all tests show all of these things are far more hardy than previously assumed. There was a lot of fear about safety years ago, nearly all of it disproven by empirical evidence. I did a peptide Mythbusters series a while back, now mostly all deleted since so many of my Reddit accounts got banned for helping people get peptides.

This is false, ignore it. This has been directly tested by the same labs that test peptides. They tested years old vials, zero issue. They added bacteria...killed it. Nothing to worry about. Cool DARK place and it's fine. Not the fridge, just a dark close in the house.

No. Until this thread I didn't even know it was still a thing. Just never hear anything about it any more. Yesterday I noticed that Safeway will pay me $20 to get the flu vaxx, but I've never had flu that I know of, don't care.

One of the positive results of going through COVID has been a massive leap forward in mRNA research which is likely to be a major key to controlling disease in the future. Tapping into an individual's cellular structure with a custom cure. https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/10/personalized-mrna-cancer-vaccine-cut-melanoma-death-recurrence-by-42/ Personalized mRNA vaccines against melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—reduced the risk of death or recurrence by 42 percent compared to standard treatment in a late-stage trial, pharmaceutical partners Merck and Moderna announced Thursday.

Yes. Made up bullshit, again.

Zep-bound to happen...? On our recent group buy fiasco, one holdup was that a previously good source tested with endotoxins. Again, why we test. There was also a compounding pharmacy that killed a few people due to lack of sterility. They are the professionals, don't trust "research peptides" however.

"Pharma is always safe, you never know what you're getting on the gray market." Meanwhile, we actually test each batch. https://www.nj.com/news/2026/10/glp-1-recall-mounjaro-zepbound-ingredient-risk-raised-to-second-highest-level.html

I spent a week in Portland for a job once. Didn't see the sun even one time. Around 9am it got slightly less gray and dark then returned to more dark and gray at 4pm. That is some fucked up shit.

I still haven't unpacked the one you sent me, but eventually it will be cold enough here. Actually it is too fucking cold already, and I've had enough of winter.
