@BowTiedPeptide I’m optimistic. Mentioned it to emphasise how hard it is to get a non allergenic drop. Her doc says it’s not a rare problem.

@firsttosettle Hopefully she can find another that’s covered. Sorry to hear they dropped it.

The Fear of Going Blind Haven't posted much this last month. My dad had glaucoma (stent placed in right tear duct gland) & cataracts surgery 4wks ago. Recovery hasn't gone well unlike my mom's cataracts only surgery. The pressure in both his eyes 2wks ago was 40+. Almost blind. Up until three weeks ago the sandy eye irritation that caused him to squint constantly for 15 years persisted & impacted recovery. The doctor drained his eyes with needles to relieve the pressure twice while rotating different eye drops. All containing the widely used preservative Benzalkonium chloride (BAK or BAC). The Conversation 🧓Could this preservative be the decades long irritation & why he isn't healing now. Could he go BLIND!? Is there a preservative free drop available? ⚕️"No there is not, if there was, insurance wouldn't cover it and it would be too expensive."per verbatim ....A Few Days Later 🧓I used AI to find a compounding pharmacy that shipped preservative free glaucoma drops. After that, I tried calling my local Walgreens pharmacist who said YES they are available options without BAK for $1.5 with our insurance coverage. Prescribe him these. ⚕️"You don't give up do you?" The sandy irritation & squinting is gone. FINALLY. The pressure has been reduced from 40+ to 19-20. His vision is still very bad. He can't drive & he wants to. It's hard. His optic nerve & retina are ok. We regret not getting him to Houston for this (much better med center) and are praying for his vision to improve over the next few days.

@BerbarianWizard Sounds like something a crypto Moroccan would do

In 2022, during Ramadan, I used to train before breaking my fast. One day I hit a leg day with a gym bro. At that time I was training high volume. We finished on a horizontal leg press, and at the end of my last set he told me: “you can add more reps, if you don’t, you’re not a real Algerian” (Never say that to an Algerian) So I pushed a few more reps… and the next thing I remember, I woke up drenched in sweat, surrounded by the entire gym staff trying to wake me up. They told me I had passed out. Never train fasted like that. Take your intra-workout carbs.

@DoNotComply23 He legit has the body of a man who takes no peptides

You can legit tell that Dr Mike hasn’t taken any peptides and has no first hand knowledge.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ youtu.be/zeA4DvEyMIk?si…

@PeptideList My take for a framework: S tier: broscience supported by soviet bloc research A tier: GLPs, some mitochondrial peptides F tier: everything else

Here are some of our suggestions for a real framework: 1. Evidence tier: FDA approved, human trials, animal data only, anecdotal 2. Mechanism class: GLP 1 agonists, GH secretagogues, tissue repair, neuroprotective, hormonal, mitochondrial, immune modulating, cosmetic 3. Access status: commercially available, compounding legal, research only Our peptide PGx report at The Peptide List is designed to help answer some of these concerns.

@TheJeffPutnam It’s currently mainly grifters planning their disability payment applications.

This is what few people understand. I enlisted in the infantry after 9/11 because I CRAVED a fight. Years after I got out? I was angry the leash never came off. The fact that our nation’s military is comprised completely of a volunteer force that wants to fuck shit up is why you should never underestimate the U.S.

@HarmlessYardDog Why can’t the party of God record with a second fpv tho, this is rookie footage

It was only a matter of time.

@AlbertoMiguelF5 @yarotrof The declining global American empire, of course. I have always thought you were a superb diplomat and one of the few who understood the Arab world, but honestly this war is a catastrophe for both the already-crumbling world order and, more importantly, the peoples of the region.

@firsttosettle @yarotrof Which empire is that? And at least I don't cower under a pseudonym.

Saddam Hussein's air defense 35 years ago was more punishing to US aircraft than anything the Iranian have been able to do in the skies of their country in 2026.

@FattyNoNatty We’ll always have anabolics

It's over- Sitting and listening to my colleagues having a very uninformed convo about MT2, Reta, and peptides. When everyone figures this out we will not have an edge anymore.

@Supersonic_Red Or we could stop endless war and close the school

They’ll be running that clip at Top Gun for years. Textbook defensive flying. That hard turn disrupted the geometry just enough. Between that and the jet’s countermeasures, he made the missile work for it. The F 18’s laser based IR countermeasure likely helped break lock or degrade tracking enough to prevent a clean proximity trigger. That’s how you survive. Well flown. BZ 🫡 This is exactly why Top Gun and the USAF Weapons School matter. Our pilots deserve the best training in the world and the flight hours to back it up. That’s the difference between a close call and not coming home.

@JiujitsuOtter We do a lot of work getting from say half guard to standing via technical standup, so yes.

To the people that train BJJ, has your gym adjusted to incorporate getting back to your feet? I can’t speak for every gym but this is something we’ve been working on for years now.

@DocAbirHealth What peptides will give me a body like his?

Paul says Baker’s physique is a bit sus. He’s not wrong, especially for his age. No huge accusation, just a little question mark. Which let’s be honest, most people think too, especially those who know about the enhanced. Baker then comes out guns blazing talking about beta males and how people are basically jealous of him? Paul then very respectfully says that Baker’s physique is just very impressive and unique for his age if natty which again is very true. Baker then says somehow that not only has Paul accused him of lying, being unethical and doing something illegal and then totally loses his mind comparing it to being called a pedophile???? TRT is totally legal, and people his age who have a physique like his would most certainly be on TRT. If his genetics are that great then as Paul said, one of a kind and props to him. But at the very least I think Baker you need to get some bloods done and check your e2, prolactin, cortisol, thyroid and ironically, maybe your T levels.

@CityBureaucrat Monotheistic except for his evil counterpart Ahriman.

This is the land of Ahura Mazda (the Strait of Hormazd), the first monotheistic God. He revealed himself to Zarathustra, the first teacher of good and evil, who said chad cattle raids were bad and sedentary farming was based.

@ImtiazMadmood Allied with war criminal, drug trafficker and all around excellent gwot partner Dostum

Six weeks after September 11, 2001, twelve American soldiers were quietly loaded onto a helicopter in Uzbekistan and flown over the Hindu Kush mountains in the dead of night. No tanks. No armored vehicles. No air support waiting on the ground. Just twelve Green Berets, over a hundred pounds of gear each, and a mission that their own commanders privately doubted any of them would survive. They landed in a remote Afghan village called Dehi, in the pitch black, surrounded by a country they barely had maps for. And then someone handed them horses. Not metaphorically. Actual horses — Afghan stallions, tough as nails and famously difficult to control. Wooden saddles covered in carpet scraps. Stirrups so short their knees rode up around their ears. Captain Mark Nutsch, who'd grown up on a cattle ranch in Kansas and competed in collegiate rodeos, became trail boss on the spot. For the other ten men on his team — Operational Detachment Alpha 595 of the 5th Special Forces Group — the learning curve was immediate and unforgiving. The first words one of his sergeants learned in Dari were: "How do you make him stop?" They had linked up with General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a Northern Alliance warlord who controlled thousands of fighters and knew this territory like the back of his hand. The deal was simple: the Americans would call in precision airstrikes from horseback. Dostum's cavalry would do the charging. Together, they would take Mazar-i-Sharif — a Taliban stronghold of 250,000 people — and crack open northern Afghanistan. Military planners had estimated it would take two years. Task Force Dagger gave ODA 595 three weeks. For 23 days of nearly continuous combat, the Horse Soldiers lived like men from a different century. They ate what the Afghans ate. They slept on the ground in freezing mountain passes. They rode trails so narrow and sheer that one wrong step meant a thousand-foot drop. Staff Sergeant Will Summers started the mission at 185 pounds. He left Afghanistan five weeks later weighing 143. The Taliban had tanks. Soviet-era armor, antiaircraft guns, fortified positions dug into the mountains. Against this, twelve Americans on horseback radioed coordinates to aircraft circling invisibly above, and watched the positions erupt. On November 9, 2001, they rode into the kind of moment that people are not supposed to experience in the modern world. Nutsch and his team joined hundreds of Dostum's horsemen in a thundering cavalry charge across an open plain — directly into entrenched Taliban lines. Under fire. At a gallop. Calling in close air support between strides. It was the first cavalry charge of the 21st century. It was also the last. The next day, Mazar-i-Sharif fell. The Taliban's northern stronghold collapsed. Within weeks, the regime itself began to unravel — a domino effect that started with twelve men and borrowed horses in the mountains. All twelve of them came home. Zero American fatalities. Against a fortified enemy that outnumbered and outgunned them at every turn. Today, across from Ground Zero in New York City, there is a bronze statue — sixteen feet tall — of a Special Forces soldier on horseback, rifle across his lap, looking west. It honors ODA 595 and the teams who rode with them. Most Americans walk past it every day without knowing the story. Now you do.

@yosoymario91 My waking temp is 96.5 and I am quite concerned.

I have a question for the Peater or thyroid guys. I've started measuring my body temp for the past few weeks. My waking temperature is 36.2C (97.16F) and it doesn't really go much higher during the day either. According to what I've read on this website, this is one of the signs of hypothyroidism. I eat plenty of carbs, sugar, milk, coffee, use coconut oil, every other peating miracle food other than carrot salad. I work out and move a lot. Yet my temperature is this low. I don't feel bad, I'm not tired nor do I have any symptoms of something being "wrong". My hands and feet are warm. My body feels warm too, my wife always warms her feet on my back lol. So is this something I should be concerned about? I'm confused.

I can agree with the sentiment about the guy on the left. But the guy on the right?? Absolutely not.

@BigDadEnergyX Ahem traditional values

Men aren’t men anymore. They’re inexcusable pieces of slob trash. I really don’t know the fix issue except Darwinism.
