Highlights from this day
- turnaround_tam — appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for 05:00
- taper_or_not — nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did 05:05
- taper_or_not — lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up 05:11
- taper_or_not — i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand, thats just me 06:00
- taper_or_not — my range is 25 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain 06:03
