That seems incompatible with life. Holy shit, didn't know a living person could be that low! Get supplements NOW! You can take a lot to start, and it takes weeks or months to see a change either up or down. 20k IU is indicated for severe issues like that.

In a neighborhood conversation last night, I learned that "peptide" is a new buzzword in MSM/social media, and that everyone thinks they were just invented. Nobody seems to know that old and super-common things like hyaluronic acid and collagen are peptides and proteins. Or that a peptide is just a protein fragment. And that they are just an amino chain that's too short to be a protein. Everyone thinks they are "chemicals" and "artificial." Apparently Olay did a 16 page ad in Vogue to spread the word on their Peptide24 collagen/B3/HA blend. Which I use, and love.

So basically, you confirmed that you have no idea how this works, and everything you posted was for nothing. If you want to have educational (in both directions) and rational conversations, you should go seek research and data before you opine randomly. So, for everyone else, check your D levels, especially as you age. And if you're losing weight, either test or just stop the Vitamin D supplements completely. Being low sucks. Being high can have lifelong consequences.

Wait, do you think that D levels rise and fall in a day? Or hours? Or even a few days? Like you could cause a spike by taking them?

You can't be that retarded. I literally showed you the data on my actual blood levels being dangerously high. Are you trolling?

My doctor and I didn't worry. I don't know why you would keep making that an issue. If you're high, fix it. That simple. If you're losing weight, stop taking supplements. Simple, no worries. That's why we're here, to fix things, not worry.

I'll review this thread, but I don't think I've posted any opinions at all. I'll try to be sure I don't. Very common.

You definitely should not worry, I don't. I simply modify my behavior to not harm myself. No worry. I'd worry if I couldn't get it under control, since vitamin D toxicity can have both horrifying acute effects and long-lasting damage you cannot reverse. But luckily, I listen to my body and doctors.

How did you find a nutter doctor too? Jesus.

Yes, we know that you're very resistant to facts. Vitamin D toxicity and safe ranges are extremely well proven. Back away from the nutter videos. No. A lack of it depresses immunity. Saturation level is what it is, and extra doesn't "boost" anything. Why are you measuring D in mcg instead of IU like the rest of the planet? Some crazy holistic doctor shit? In any case that's 10k IU which is what I was taking also, and is a high-normal for many people. Others only need 5k. As long as your tests are under 70 then you're fine. But I have a friend who somehow produces extra D3 endogenously, and for him, 10k IU would be deadly. So what do your tests say? That's the only way to know. During weight loss: Today:

I don't think I posted this before. If you're losing weight, stop any D supplements!! Everything that is fat soluble in your body will be moved into the blood and has to be removed. This is everything from the vitamin D, to metals and all sorts of shit stored in fat. It's one reason that fast loss is so dangerous; your body can't deal with it. So I had a blood test in the middle of it, and my D level was over 100. Normal range is about 30-80 (variable depending on who you ask). But generally 100 is toxic, 30 is bad, 25 is extremely bad. I hadn't considered this, and neither did my PCP, nor anyone else. I'd never been warned about this. Out of all the people I interact with losing weight, none had been told. Today I'm at 59.1, with a target of about 50. Before supplements I was just below 30 and had been holding 50-55 for many years with supplements.

LOL. And I have the solution. The question was literally, WTF is that??? Absolutely nothing in Lowe's had that thread. I'll get a pic later. On the course side, a flow reg, on the MIP side, a standard pressure reg. I need to put a male QD fitting on one and female on the other so they can be split. I got a female-female size adapter for the normal theads. I guess this is an intrinsic part of the flow reg. BTW you cannot in any way fuck with the length of the hose from the flow reg to the generator. Longer? Lean and dies. Shorter? Floods. So if I want it to work from the RV and from a raw propane bottle, I have to split them like this (only ONE feed line at a time. I'd shoot that. Also let's not get started on the fact that the RV has a gas outlet on the side of it intended for a grill or generator. But nobody knows how to make use of it, because of the double regulator problem. Dealer: "Yeah nobody uses that, you unplug the main tank and use that."

I thought it would be about electric motorcycles.

Unintentional double meaning?

There are a number of health implications from fast eating, so it's a great topic. I just don't really know great solutions, other than to always think about it and be conscious. So I welcome Dave's reminder. Maybe we just remind each other every couple days.

While this is about processed foods and obesity, I've also seen the exact same as it relates to cholesterol. Highly processed foods are terrible. https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/processed-foods-and-obesity/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=7811fa8613-RSS_BLOG_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_40f9e497d1-7811fa8613-28710906&mc_cid=7811fa8613

So as you know, ground and neutral should be bonded in only one place. I believe (have been told) that the trailer has a bonded neutral-ground in its panel (not 100% sure). If I have my little bonding plug, that's two of them, and that should never be done. I guess I need to test it. And if it's not bonded, then I probably should put a real bond on the generator (more than that #22 jumper)? Wouldn't the trailer floating be a danger itself?

Another modern life-changer if it can be made at a reasonable cost. ErythroMer is an experimental blood substitute developed by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. It is made from recycled human hemoglobin wrapped in a membrane to mimic a tiny cell. ErythroMer comes as a freeze-dried powder that remains usable for years. It can be reconstituted by simply mixing it with saline. ErythroMer should be safe for any blood type as its membrane doesn't include the red blood cell surface proteins that cause mismatches. It is still in preclinical testing, but it is possible that ErythroMer could be more durable and versatile than real blood. https://www.science.org/content/article/ultimate-blood-substitute-us-military-betting-46-million

The problem from that time still makes him (and me) behave a certain way. I believe that TODAY it's likely that Dave owns his time, as I do. But when you're busting ass for minimum wage you do what the man tells you. An additional problem for me was that when I was a cocktail waiter I burned insane calories, and fed them constantly, in high volumes, with short time. Then I got a desk career...and blimped.

For most of us, the nausea is related to not eating. Seriously, thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands, you're like .01%. This is why I caution people to stick with the Eli Lilly schedule of only moving up if you absolutely must. My friend made the mistake of moving up to ten on a schedule instead of waiting for the lower dose to lose effect, is paying dearly for it now.

You know you're a 1% of 1% right? I've talked to thousands of people about GLP-1s now, and yours is the lowest report ever. Maybe Eli Lilly put you on a placebo, LOL.

A corollary or connected challenge is that I've worked hard for years to remove food from the entertainment category and turn it into only fuel (except an occasional special meal). This then leads to the "just get it over with" attitude. Tirzepatide has forcibly slowed me down, because of the delayed gastric emptying. Or, I pay for it if I don't. Aren't you finding limits to quantity and speed, especially on max dose?

I would like to move it, because it's a good discussion and things get buried here. It deserves more attention. I've been trained to eat everything, all at once, through a variety of life situations. Literal three minute 2k calorie meals with a one and done opportunity. I'm also working on it. Easier if I'm doing something, say eating and watching TV. Just eating? Gone immediately. In fact I actually find myself annoyed at the work of eating and want it done.

EVSEs will not work without a ground, they test it before startup. Nearly all generators have floating grounds for safety. I have a shitty EMS in there and a nicer one to go in soon. But that isn't related to this. Also to charge the EVs from the TT-30 plug I need an adapter that takes one of the hots from the 14-50 to the neutral on the TT-30. Otherwise the 5-20R can only charge at 12 amps (80% constant load of 5-15 because the male plug on the EVSE is a 15 not 20). To add to all the fun, it's potentially (heh) dangerous to run the bonding plug and plug in the trailer, because now you've violated the "only one bonding location" rule. But there really is nowhere in the trailer to kill yourself on a broken neutral. So yeah...this is all very "special."

I was sitting there with Marty solving the problem of running the EV cord from a generator, and speaking all my plans and test results out loud. At some point I told him why and of course he told me he absolutely knew why. There was no GFCI involved so I let him help. Also, we NEED do what he does best. That's a hint on the plug.
