Oura credit

I was just scouting their ring prices and saw in the neighborhood of $399…but they also have gift cards in increments of $25. Can I buy 8, then when January hits I’ll have my new 2027 $200 credit plus $200 of gift cards from my 2026 benefit and buy the ring outright off Platinum benefits?

Pfizer Hospira Bacteriostatic Water

I bought 90ml back in January as I broke into the peptides space — thought nothing of it. Just saw a reel about limited supply so I started looking around.

Does anyone have it in stock these days?? Has the supply really been blocked wholly??

Garage door insulation

Anyone have experience with this? This will be the first summer I have a functional garage gym and I’m already starting to feel heat just dumping off the inside of the garage door. My garage is not cooled otherwise, so I’m not sure if adding insulation to the inside of the garage door would be worth anything or if I should just allow the heat to be hot and deal with it.

Crypto 101

I’m on STG and the Crypto 101 guide is broken. Does anyone have a good beginner reference? I’ve held crypto on a few different exchanges and sent it before…but I only have a beginner’s understanding. I don’t even know how to hold crypto locally on a wallet (vs on the exchange). So I’m like…50% retarded. Want to get a little smarter so I can explore grey sourcing. I don’t need comprehensive crypto knowledge, just functionally how to use it for grey sales.

I had an abnormally low HDL result recently. 5 tests spanning from 2018-2023 I was 48-53. Though I’d like to see that number come up, at the beginning of this year I was at a 35. While perusing this sub I saw someone suggest that triglyceride to HDL is an important metric and my triglycerides were at 63, so my ratio is still 1.8…which I understand to be good (sub 2:1).

I had other numbers come back in my blood panels out of reference range and I plugged them all into GPT and asked what the reason could be and it suggested acute stress or illness, which I had absolutely been experiencing at the time. So the 35 could be a fluke…but still curious as to what I should really be concerned about/paying attention to.

Is the ratio independently important, or should I still be considering the low HDL as inherently bad despite a reasonable ratio?

Bonus question: in 2022 I had an ApoB of 150. In 3 tests since I’ve only declined…but only at 129 now. Harvard Health says sub-90 is optimal, 90-129 borderline/moderately elevated, 130+ high risk. The Cleveland clinic says 66-133 is normal. I’m down about 30lbs (~10-15 to go before I have visible abs) since my 150. For whatever reasons (call a stupidity), I want to avoid statins. If I’m trending lower and now in a less risky reference range…my gut tells me “keep it up and see where this is going.” My goal is obviously to live a long, happy, and healthy life and if a pill solves all my problems then hell yeah — sign me up. I’m just skeptical of them. I’ve also added in supplements (Nattokinase, CoQ10, psyllium husk, EPA/DHA — all dosed pretty close to optimally) back in January. I want to give it a full year to see what my numbers will be this coming January. My doctor kind of looked at me cross-eyed and said these numbers are stable and resilient to non-pharmaceutical interventions, but every doctor has told me that while I have dropped my numbers measurably and consistently (even if not substantially). Should I just give up and drink the Pharma Kool-Aid?
