if not, wtf. If so, it's incredibly hard to find anything about it online.

It's very difficult to find good information online about using peptides for Long COVID ME. I see ta- 1, bpc-157, and tb-500 mentioned most often, sometimes with major success stories attached. Particularly in the case of Thymosin Alpha 1 (TA-1).

However I can find next to no information online about what order to take them, what to try first (or if I should try all of them at once), how to titrate, which sellers are reputable... I know that information about sourcing is banned from this sub. I'm curious to hear what online communities are best for more in-depth discussions, if I'm allowed to ask that. If not, no worries.

I'd also like to hear more anecdotal reports from ME/CFS patients who have tried these. I have had long COVID PEM for 4 years and am mostly housebound. I am also EBV positive as a coinfection.

I'm convinced that a big part of the problem is nobody really knows what to call this display technology because it's had a bunch of misnomers and bad trade names over the years. ESPECIALLY with pebble calling it e-paper, they are the worst offenders. I've also literally seen people call it the "Gameboy color" display technology, lol.

Anyway it's just really the right technology for a lot of smartwatches, and to see things like the Fitbit come out with an OLED screen is just downright incorrect. My amazfit bip smartwatch battery lasts 30 days and the screen never, ever turns off. Just clearly far superior.

With all the smartwatch talk on the pod about smartwatch displays, I wish they would bring this up. It's weirdly kind of a big deal to me.

One of the concerns with starlink over the long term is that all that high altitude aluminum (and other metals) burning up in the high atmosphere might do something bad. I figured this was bogus, as there has been a ton of poor science and reporting around the environmental concerns of SpaceX, but one of the recent reports looked a bit more valid, as they found actual evidence of starlink particulates in the upper atmosphere.

Collecting them might be desirable, anyway. They could possibly be refuelled on-orbit and relaunched, or recycled/refurbished on the ground. And starship is going back down anyway.

I assume the delta-v to get back down to LEO is not that insane for an end-of-life satellite that hasn't totally malfunctioned or run out of fuel.

Just a thought.

EDIT: FOLKS, STARSHIP WOULD ALREADY BE EMPTY AT VARIOUS INSERTION ORBITS FROM LAUNCHING STARLINK, SATELLITES WOULD MANUEVER TO THE RONDEVOUS POINT, NOT STARSHIP CHASING THEM AROUND. SHEEESH FOLKS

My 13gal aquasoil setup has been going nearly a month with no sign of algae despite 12 hours a day of 100-par light and no filter or cleanup crew. I went out of my way to establish daphnia and copepods and the little moving specs like that, but now that I've turned the filter on, it seems like I can see a lot less of them. I'm also not crazy about the hum of the filter, anyhow. The water does look clearer but I'm not so sure that's a good thing for the animals I'm planning to add.

Filter is an Aquael Pat Mini which is a sponge filter with an in-tank impeller pump. I have it on the lowest setting. The sponge is sort of medium-porous. There are certainly finer filters out there which I guess I could stick on. The holes in this one look a bit bigger than a mm. I don't like the thought of my microfauna getting chewed up in there, especially when theyre probably the reason the tank is doing so well.

Sorry for asking this on the walstad sub even though my substrate is aquasoil, but I knew it anyone would care about microfauna and filterless setups, it would be the walstad crew.

Thanks!
