Highlights from this day
- net_peptide — never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice 23:22
- freeze_thaw — push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards 23:23
- net_peptide — abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month 23:32
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly, for what its worth
Recon calculator: 5mg in 3ml = 4mg/ml.
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes

a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it
