It was neglected for over ten years, which is why I stole it for $1500. I should re-post the story and cleanup effort, which was lost to our data loss recently. But yes, staying stock is a big deal for me. That seat thing was done to a spare seat.

Oh, other testing that was interesting... Most people recommend using only Hospira/Pfizer bacteriostatic water, because so many others have tested poorly. Moriah has a NIST certified pH meter, and a basic but decent microscope. She tested some Chinese bac water at well over 9 pH, which is ridiculous. As Phillip said above, that is a problem for peptides. She also was able to spot foreign detritus in both water and in a very shittily made vial. The labs have done the same and found all sorts of fuckery in the water. In a bid to stop us from doing this safely, the feds have been cracking down on requiring a prescription for the water. I shit you not. Eli Lilly owns the FDA. Of course all it did was raise the price by many times, and drive the purchasing farther underground. This vial was given to me for testing. It was made by skinheads in a trailer park, and sold as "safe." I again, shit you not, which is why sourcing and testing is critical.

That same lab did tests that proved a lot of previous fears were wrong: Lyophilized vials left in a garage in Texas for over three years: No damage, about 98% peptide survival, zero issues. Reconstituted vials at room temp for 1/3/6 months: Same as above. Bac water several years beyond date, unpunctured: Zero change. Bac water several years beyond date, punctured, 1/3/6 months: Zero change. Unused pens around a year beyond date: Within margin of error, no bacteria, no issues. Multi-use pens partially used and left out for months: Also fine. They DID prove that liquid peptides which sat at higher temps for a day were damaged.

For that reason, in my video I tell people to add bacteriostatic water. This also helps with re-dosing since a 15mg pen only has 50u of liquid. One of the testing labs we "all" use took a vial from a dissected pen, LET IT SIT AT ROOM TEMP, and then tested it three months later. It was within the margin of error when tested for actual peptide content and purity. Over the last few years many rounds of testing have shown that peptides are far less fragile than previously though, bac water lasts "forever" not 30 days once punctured, etc. We were all being ultra paranoid about it all, but facts are facts. These are most of my peptide videos: Yes, on the group buy. Not if you do it right. My video was made for the people who don't have the money, and for whatever reason, don't want to buy the vials of third party peptide. I agree that the smartest option is just to go that way. I did it originally because I was asked to, and given pens. I wouldn't pay for them since there are better options. You have unique access to things that most people don't, and a lot of money to throw at problems, most people don't.

Wait, goddammit, you got me.

Me neither. My 2000 leaned pretty far also, even before mods. So I wonder if Joe's are different, or he doesn't care/notice (and really I shouldn't care, but I do). Now I'm gonna need to put it next to the Zero and measure. I should try to figure out if the forks are too low. Wonder if that's in the manual.

So my 1200 mile unicorn should be...10k?

The lack of any meaningful numbers relative to actual dietary consumption. But your new quote which contradicts the earlier ones is actually pretty accurate. Got this today... https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/are-potassium-chloride-salt-substitutes-worth-trying/ In a randomized controlled trial, households had their salt replaced with just a quarter potassium chloride. At that level, most people either couldn’t tell the difference or even preferred the salt with the potassium mixed in. But did it actually do any good? The use of even the quarter salt substitute was associated with cutting the risk of developing hypertension in half. But what about actually following people out to see if there’s any change in the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease? Five kitchens in a veterans’ retirement home were randomized into two groups for about two and a half years, salting meals with regular salt or, unbeknownst to the cooks and the diners, a 50/50 blend of potassium chloride. Those in the half potassium group cut their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by about 40% and lived up to nearly a year longer. The life expectancy difference at age 70 was “equivalent to that which would have naturally occurred in 14 [years],” meaning that just switching to half potassium salt appeared to effectively make people more than a decade younger when it came to risk of death.

It's the stock unicorn with (now) like 1200 miles on it. It's *plausible* that the fork tubes could be too low in the tree, don't recall their normal height. Visibly there's a mild suspicion about where they are. While stock, at one time it did have all fluids changed including fork, by a Honda dealer. Well, here we are, that's my request. I'm also done touching body parts to the ground, no longer interesting.

Reminds me of another dietary fallacy... Multiple consumer nutrition surveys confirm that more than half of Americans believe steak contains dietary fiber. This misconception stems from widespread gaps in baseline nutritional literacy across the United States. [1, 2] Key Surveys and Statistics The 53% Misconception Study: National consumer nutrition polling evaluated by food analysts and health organizations reveals that 53% of Americans explicitly believe steak is a significant fiber source.

You've never let me pay, since it was in "trade."

I mean, the numbers are just numbers. You can keep repeating that, but it doesn't make it true or at least, useful, as a part of a normal diet. There's also the matter of reducing sodium. Go look at the ACTUAL numbers of what you'd get, particularly relative to the things you may not want to increase (calories, saturated fat, mercury, etc). There's no room for random opinions here, go run the numbers. IF THE ABOVE WERE TRUE or useful as part of a diet, then we wouldn't have rampant deficiency, right?
