This thread has turned full stupid.
While some of the things 240 is saying are true. Like water is a much better growing medium for bacteria than oi.
The argument from a risk mitigation standpoint if far from full scope and not exactly a poibt that one person can hang their hat on entirely.
In many respects, it's difficult to try to raise risk mitigation arguments in a place where people source unknown illegal drugs from China and inject them in their bodies.
Saying that, trying to lower any potential risks one has control over is generally a smart move. However looking at it from the entirety of the landscape, the overall mitigation factor would be quite negligible.
I think the argument mostly remains - if seeking underground or illegal products from anyone - do as much research as possible, trust most in long established brands with excellent track records over time.
So perhaps purchasing super good A+#1 brand bac water off of Temu for 3 dollars may not be the best idea. While purchasing from a long established well known Peptide company with a good history is a much safer option.
Purchasing from a pharmaceutical company as directly or pharmacy as possible probably comes with the least risk.
But that is rarely if not always an available option due to multiple factors but most being cost and availability.
Purchasing "pharm" from grey or black market vendors come with risks as well as we all know that handling or fake products can be an issue. Now, one may argue - who fakes bac water? Not long ago, I would have no doubt said that. Now though, well....these are much different times.
Bac water is incredibly easy to make and doesn't require much sophistication. So again, there's certainly an argument that the safety alarm may be sounding off a little loudly here. Larger scale production obviously comes with increased risk....but even a complete end-user could make a good amount with some sterile water and vessels, good aseptic tecnique and some benzyl alcohol.
Again it comes down to being informed, assessing the known risk and making the appropriate informed choise for yourself
Absolutes here are an incredible fallacy.
Lastly, the garbage about being on forums and competing for a long time mean absolutely zero. Its an attempting powerplay which is the ultimate equivalency to little dick syndrome. Its stupid.
I've been around for a minute or two now. And I've learned some things along the way. But I don't know everything and there's plenty of things guys that have been around a lot less time than me know far more about.
Theres been guys around much longer than me as well.....and guess what....they're still the tools and fools they were over 20 years ago. Point is cut the power play talk....it holds no water.
You feel strongly about this obviously. Dig in. Thats OK. Guys are going to ask and pry and prod...and probably disagree.....its all part of the purpose.
Sometimes the layers around such discussions are quite nuanced and it's difficult to separate a true safety issue based on what someone is alleging vs. something else. Thats a relevant piece here perhaps but would take away from the topic at hand.
Lastly, this poibt about testides and you wild accusations concerning tge credibility of the forum.
Pinch your fucking lips for a moment.
On what planet would a forum ever see a thread like yours come up and just make a knee jerk decision based on information that has been posted with no true facts established (simply your words) without looking into the matter, speaking to both parties and make an informed decision based on facts.....not opinion.
So before you get too sassy and openly questioning the credibility of the forum...shut your mouth. You have put the cart far before the horse here and those actions negatively impact your credibility here far more than the forum.
Have you spoken to admin and showed them everything you have? I have seen zero about this other than a recent thread that was started in the forum.
What has this testides company provided you?
Has testides been able to tell their part of the story?
An investigation has to be completed. No one is just going to take your word....no matter how big of a deal you think you are.
So calm the shit. Approach admin like you want to help solve a problem....not be a complete cunt. And help work through it until objective findings based on fact can be established.
Then decisions are made.
This should be done behind the scenes where work can get done. I know guys like the idea of playing it it live in the forum but that never works. Too much emotion and nonsense to ever get to the bottom of something.
Right now....your approach makes you look like an idiot.
And ps. For argument sake....how exactly does testides results matching Janoshik results prove anything. In a way....maybe that could be good for jano....but thats another topic.
Many assumptions being made there that again - have never been proven.
Its not like Janoshik is an accredited lab with long standing records of independent third party auditing giving credibility to the lab and its procedures, equipment and processes....and therefore its results.
Everyone has just bought in to the idea that this outfit is some type of gold standard.....but know one knows why.
And that is completely absurd and ridiculous. But no one every questions that....lol.
Read this for what it is. Its not an attack on you.... its an attempt to provide some perspective to the central issue....but also to address your silly behavior demonstrated towards both the forum and its members.
Don't like that? Be better.
I’m going to quote your topics and then respond, as I’m not very tech savvy.
First off:
“Lastly, the garbage about being on forums and competing for a long time mean absolutely zero. It’s an attempting powerplay which is the ultimate equivalency to little dick syndrome. Its stupid.”
- That was me simply quoting someone trying to show their dick is bigger than mine by telling me they’ve been on forums on forums on forums which yes, means nothing.
“What has this testides company provided you?”
“Has testides been able to tell their part of the story?”
- yes? Which is the exact reason why I posted this. Its the shear lack of information for me, and why they’re testing NON blind samples JUNE 20th -> TODAY with purity and mg (example Summits website) and the blind sample I’ve provided in late May hasn’t seen anything except identity.
They’ve also told me they can’t test blind samples anymore because it’s breaking their machine. Would love to hear some logic on this and why I need to tell them what my sample is in order to know what my sample is, but they don’t want to provide that with 6 weeks of emails.
“Right now....your approach makes you look like an idiot.”
- I don’t need validation from a forum story teller, trust me when I say that.
“This should be done behind the scenes where work can get done. I know guys like the idea of playing it it live in the forum but that never works. Too much emotion and nonsense to ever get to the bottom of something.”
- No, it shouldn’t be done behind the scenes, I’ve done enough behind the scenes and spent 6 weeks going back and forth on email, I made my observation, and I brought it to the public for them to decide. It’s very simple.
“And ps. For argument sake....how exactly does testides results matching Janoshik results prove anything. In a way....maybe that could be good for jano....but thats another topic
“Everyone has just bought in to the idea that this outfit is some type of gold standard.....but know one knows why.”
- You must really be new to the UGL scene eh?
You compare the best with the up-coming. It’s an incredibly simple concept. There has to be a reference point from THE best. Other wise there is none at all. This shouldn’t even be a question.
Janoshik is the best, this isn’t a question with anyone in the space who actually knows what they’re talking about, he has millions and millions of dollar worth of equipment, tours of his lab facility, has taken multiple interviews addressing concerns, one of the only legal operations looked over by a government… the list goes on. But you don’t know anything about this, as I correctly assumed.
“It’s not like Janoshik is an accredited lab with long standing records of independent third party auditing giving credibility to the lab and its procedures, equipment and processes....and therefore its results”
^ This is either some sick joke or satire. Can’t figure out which one. Have you been outside of this forum? There’s no way you said this openly to the public.
This is going to ruffle some feathers but NO offence at all to ANYONE. But from my observations, this forum seems to be on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of intelligence and knowledge and the vet vs newbie ratio is very far gone.
Responses to newbies with risk mitigation is INCREDIBLY concerning, especially coming from the so called “respected” members.
I’m not here to make friends, I don’t need friendships, I don’t need people to like me.
I’m typing to help others who really don’t know where to turn.
Trust me when I say, I don’t need your advice on what to do and how to do it.
People on this forum are blindly saying “send your tests to testides” with ZERO and I mean absolutely zero evidence they’re not opening up a PDF doc and writing down numbers on a sheet. I went out and did something about it, and guess what, odds are, it will be helping out dozens of people who actually want to know what’s inside of their vials mg/purity.
I spent the money and did something for the community, provided my thoughts, the exact scenario, the odds of each scenario; then my opinion.
You’re sitting on a forum typing words.
Then you have the audacity to try and tell me how to do it ?
Incredible.
