Highlights from this day
  • vial_ledger — if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, happy to be corrected lead times stretch badly around… 20:03
  • batch_bandit — my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 20:05
  • batch_bandit — right so minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 21:03
  • vial_ledger — update on the earlier thing a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 21:04
