Compounded Tirzepatide now illegal (Zepbound, Mounjaro)

LOL, they are already marked as cosmetics with like $5 value, so... -
I've been invited to do a presentation at a peptide conference
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in Diet & health exchange
Absolutely no recordings will be made or allowed without written permission. Privacy. This presentation is specifically about two peptides for perimenopause, so...hopefully not applicable to you. Oh, would be applicable to a man on testosterone suppression (a friend will try it for this), and transgender M2F. Every research subject so far is responding, they are cheap, FDA approved with perfect safety, and nobody is paying attention since there's no money to be made on them. -
I have a fan-cooled MagSafe charger/mount on the dash. It's good, but in summer it still overheats while charging and the phone gets dark. I've been talking to this company about their new device for a while, and it was released last week. I got it yesterday. It's amazing. First, it's strikingly beautiful; the pics don't do it justice. Charging is fast, and as claimed, it actually gets COLD while the phone is hot, sucking out the heat. Not less warm, it's cold to the touch, and measured at just under 60 degrees while the phone was warm. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DT36JNYG https://everyamp.com/products/qi2-wireless-charging-phone-mount-with-semiconductor-cooling It has the vent clips, which I only use for rental cars, with a standard 17mm ball mount. So I can put it right on my existing dash ball. If I ever get my truck back. Also I want to add something here, because most people don't know this. USB-C can work as an intelligent negotiated protocol, or as just dumb power. If you want fast charging, you need a real USB-C port with all of the smart negotiation. If you use a basic dumb power supply for this, it will be ultra slow because some power is used for the cooling (~12w). So get a real power supply that has real USB-C, not Chinesium junk for $5. This is the only option I can find for full speed charging: RAM RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V3CU or RAM-GDS-CHARGE-V3C-1U. The latter is way overkill and more expensive. It can charge laptops. Or get this for another hidden install option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DT4TJFH8 Or any USB PD 3.0 lighter plug adapter for a quick but messy installation (it's what I use for rentals).

I got a friend to go on a diet and lose over 50 pounds by using a fisheye lens for some group photos.

Some of the drivers had this apparently bullshit spec: Battery voltage :7.8VF/4.2V WTF is a "VF??"

I can't believe that nobody makes a motor for these. Seems so obvious. So I had to DIY. $8 Ali Express screwdriver and 3D printed parts. There are two different versions in the video; one for the high mounts next to a wall, and one for the low blinds without the wall. Mechanical cranks are so 1899, ain't nobody got time for that.

No pressure. I've done a lot of speaking in my life, but on tech and business topics where I was already an expert. This is...fuck, I don't even know. High school dropout who decided to learn something out of nowhere and now is considered "expert" by some people? WTF. It's the only time I've been unsure about a presentation, I often just wing it since they are easy topics for me.

I guess I should stock up for the future before "everyone" turns Chinese and depletes supplies. That happened a year ago when they first talked about canceling the supply exemption. -

An annoying millionaire blowhard cunt said on her TV show today that people should just pay for the real thing and deal with it. Privilege is so blinding. I wonder how much she pays her personal chef and dedicated nutritionist? -
The customer was the asshole here, not the electrician. A neighbor stopped by, everyone is out walking since we had almost five days of winter and it's finally nice again. He asks me what I think about his electrician leaving "a whole bunch" of extra "cable" on the side of his house when installing an extra outdoor outlet right off the breaker panel. Seems odd, wire is expensive and all. He's pissed and is planning to call and bitch him out. Let's go look. It's a drip loop in flexible waterproof conduit. Which he had to use to get the outlet in the right place. Sigh. "If you call your electrician, thank him for doing it right."

I suspect my flow of emails asking for how to DIY is going to turn from a few a day to dozens. -

Come on guys, Mike lives with mom, he needs that big back seat for you know, other things. -
Cat prices are insanely variable, you have to call a lot of shops. I needed one on a 328i because of a spark plug failure, and got multiple quotes of $800-1500, then one shop said $350. I know, you can't just go to a shitty shop, but it was fine, never an issue. And then I had them do a bunch of other exhaust stuff and it was always good and inexpensive. Just an old guy in a shitty ancient building in the cheap part of town. Lived in a room in the back of the shop.

So NOW who's the mainstream one and who's the weirdo? LOL We had a famous/infamous medical tourist here that "bought" a whole wing of a hospital for his wife for a week. Some Saudi dude. They even did physical construction to give them what they wanted (paid for). If you google "dentist algodon travel" you'll get an entire list of medical travel agents and bookers with hotels and all sorts of things just geared around medical tourism to Algodon MX from Yuma.

Route 66 is over-rated. I like AZ SR 69, more curves and less bushy, but I ate it there once.

Easy to scale bushings are obviously hugely useful. Type the inside/outside diameter, the flange parameters, and boom, print. Faster than a run to the store and precisely the odd details that I needed, not just "close enough." And it costs five cents to just print another if it's not exactly right.

Toyota had it right with the actual mini trucks. Make a vestigial back seat for when you really have to, but don't waste it on space for the 1%. Like my neighbor whose only reason not to get an EV is the week long trip he makes ONE time per year. When it would be better to rent something anyway. And which would cost a fraction of what he's wasting on gas for the other 358 days. -

Or if you're going to make a back seat that almost never gets used, it should at least be as minimal as possible and save the space for actual usage. -
Yes, and I swear we've discussed it here at some point. You have to get it perfectly dry and clean, and has to stay dry for at least a day. Becomes much easier to clean.

Of course, I just can't understand how we agree on most all other vehicles, and then this extreme thing... -
Remove the best parts of both vehicles? Great.

I honestly think this is a prank and there's no fucking way they made that monstrosity.
