I appreciate the offer but I think I’m just going to run the ole PPL program and let it ride for a bit so I can get in some more frequent training without it being so demanding. I’ll get in a heavy compound movement each day and just bro it out.
I had my blood drawn last week, awaiting results currently. Once I get them and have my talk with the provider, I’m going to push for 200mg/wk | 100mg E3.5D SubQ injections. I don’t particularly care about the ester so whatever they offer - I’d rather avoid Prop and I won’t do Sust (not that I think they’d put me on that anyways). Yes, I know its backwards to go into a clinic treating it like a grocery store. I didn’t ask for any specific Dr there because I kind of already know what I want and have been reading/researching enough that I don’t believe I need specialist care tbh; I’ll be using a PA for my first visit and potentially following visits, depending.
Once I get my T dialed in, I’m considering looking into HGH or GH Peptides - unsure on cost/benefit or potential sides for peptides… I have a few months before this becomes something I need to address anyhow.
Always a good idea to push for more, and you don’t necessarily have to take it. Good to build up a little extra in case you are a week off on reordering your Test. With Defy, I found they were very strict on when you could re-order. If you were off by a week, it meant with their shipping times that you would likely miss an injection, or pay the $50 expedited shipping fees (which made it go from 2 weeks to 1 week, expedited my ass haha).
In the US, it seems Cyp is the standard. Enth isn’t even available, and Prop is something you would have to ask for. I haven’t heard of anyone getting Sust here (at least not for awhile). Defy will Rx Cyp. unless you ask for Prop (I believe).
Have you done your physical yet? I found that to be awkward saying it was for a TRT clinic. I was about 30-31 at the time. Drs can be kinda judgemental. The Dr. I used at the time was one of those judgemental ones. I don’t go to him anymore.
I was given a 6 month extension on getting it done so not yet. My primary at the VA had my bloods taken and evaluated for TRT. When my numbers came back at 335ng/dl, she said I “was still in range”… will make for an interesting follow up when I tell her I went to someone who would actually treat me lol.
Did they allow for any overlap or was it put on hold such that refills couldn’t be ordered until your current script ran out?
I think they allowed a 1 or 2 week overlap. I could be wrong? Maybe it was a set time interval and my dose just made it inconvenient? IDK. I remember that if I was a little lazy and was just like a week off from the first day I could put the order in, that it was pushing it with their standard shipping (very slow ~2 weeks, I’ve had UGL Test show up faster haha). I would usually just pay the extra $50 for fast shipping (which was still a whole week).
She won’t care. Someone else started, so she’s off the hook. All she has to do is continue the script. At worst, depending on their algorithm, she’ll make you stop for a week or two (I don’t know much about the half life) so your bloods show you below their range, then she’ll prescribe. I’d imagine that’s not fun though!
I’m an idiot and just now went back and read everything to realize you won’t have the VA treat you so it doesn’t matter. I could delete all this, but I’d rather leave up a VA complaint, so there you go!
Didn’t win the alarm clock battle this morning, way too tired.
Busted out the good clothes for the upcoming interview; don’t know when, but the boss lady said I WILL be getting an interview and that she very seriously wants me for the position. She wants a problem solver and that is my specialty.
Complex:
A) Sled Push 225lb x 40yd 225lb x 40yd 225lb x 40yd 225lb x 40yd
B) DB Farmer Carry (no straps) 160lb x 40yd 160lb x 40yd 160lb x 40yd 160lb x 40yd
45lbs of the sled weight were contributed by a small child who insisted I be her chauffeur (didn’t even get a tip). This was done in 103° heat, so I almost got to show the little one what a Heat Casualty is.
6/12/22 - Pull Went in to hit overtime and no one was home; stayed 30 mins, got paid 4 hours double time. Decided its prime time to lift since i was already out there.
Wanted to post this in the confession thread but it’s too off topic. But I needed to get it out of my system so I figured I’d post it here, I read Google’s MapReduce paper and it fucking BLEW MY MIND in it’s simplicity and elegance:
Honestly I thought these methods were standard already… It’s just taking input and separating it into lists or arrays, which you could then iterate through to define and use information depending on criteria.
It wasn’t taught to me as the MapReduce model, but it just kind of made sense to me that this was one of the purposes. I believed it to be among the different uses for lists, pending the need.
This was in 2004. That’s what was mindblowing. Their current iterations are more similar to a service they’ve released as a cloud database called BigTable. MapReduce is more well known as a heavy pillar in HDFS which is part of the Hadoop ecosphere, which is all open source but google came up with it. And now the fuckers want to make money by using it as a cloud service.
Btw, I think by now you’ve realized how much more advanced than me you are or will be. Told u that would happen. You’re studying everything as a holistic kind of thing (for lack of a better word) and you just didn’t cover the subjects I was talking about previously but that shit is easy as fuck once you know the basic concepts compared to what you are learning.
So I wanna ask:
Is there any way I can use the Anaconda libraries without having to install fucking Anaconda? I HATE ANACONDA. I FUCKING HATE IT. Screwed lots of my system path variables. Had to get a freelancer I don’t use for work to completely get it out of my system 2 years ago lol.
Now I need it for the AI shit. And I don’t know Java or I’d use that.
