You're not missing much. When I was in college it was a fine way to keep up with people, at this point it's just people in the music scene saying mean things about each other and people 2-3 times my age rotting what's left of their brains all day on pages like ULTIMATE REAL CHRISTIAN PATRIOT TRUTH NEWS. And, jokes aside, I don't see how anyone who's kept up with the news for the past couple of years could possibly want to be complicit in making money for that company. Feels like every couple days you read a new story about how they promoted some genocide in a third world country, facilitated human trafficking, covered up some government atrocity, or any number of other horrors just for the sake of revenue.

lol...i am probably 2-3 times your age---and i feel the same as you, only i blame your age group, lol. :)
 
Ha! Nah, people my age (early thirties) are mostly moving to other platforms or getting off social media entirely, at least in my friend group.

I am confident that I have significant political differences with most people on this forum but regardless of where we are on the political spectrum I think we should all be worried about corporate monopolies as the only arbiters of speech, especially when so many people rely on these platforms for so much more than just "shooting the **** with their friends," such as, for example, running their businesses. Doubly so when so much of this stuff is just outsourced to poorly-programmed algorithms with no oversight. Not good!

Would be cool if you gave us a heads up before AndroLo was available again. I’m looking forward to buying some.

As soon as I can use my arm again I will have more. I'll run a sale.
 
2 new ingredients. Boron Citrate (not super exciting) to more potently increase BMP2 expression. I added it during my rotator cuff, non-surgical repair.

Houttuynia Cordata is included to increase BMP7 for more potent muscle building.

Can't wait! Now if only customs would stop being trash... :/

It's a team effort, customs and DHL.

DHL is required to notify customs that a shipment is inbound and the contents. For the entirety of 2021 they failed to do it and refuse to take responsibility.

For 14 years I had zero problems with them until now.

Unfortunately my supplier has also refused to go to bat for me, so I find myself wiped out of capital.

I'm trying to change suppliers, but his prices were 30% higher, even if his quality and reliability are top notch.

Do you think this is a "temporary" issue (i.e. function of recent policy, etc, etc, etc)? Or do you expect this to continue being an issue moving forward? If the latter and the other supplier would help circumvent these issues moving forward, I know I speak for many others in that your products are far worth paying the additional costs.
 
For DCP, which should be shipped this week, we are attempting to send through a different port but as mentioned the supplier refuses to press the issue, so it is a crap shoot if it gets stopped or not.

In the meantime im working with the other supplier to get thwm familiar and quality test the ingredients for the whole line, then we will probably end up shifting over to them.

Expense or not there is just no business model that works while products are OOS and ingredients sit idle in a warehouse.

Totally get it. With that bs facebook restriction, please keep us in the loop with everything. Really looking forward to the updated BMP formula!

Will do.

I'm working on something extremely cool right now. Still on paper/hypothetical, but it's really innovative for muscle building.

Trying to get the material I need (it's only two ingredient complexes) to have 10 or so testers while I build up capital.

Probably be a 2 hour preworkout dosing.
 
I would think that if one were to put out an all natural hair regrowth formula that actually worked, it would make one a millionaire in no time in which to have a large enough working capital to fund and keep in stock alotta sku's just my non business minded theory anyway

Formula is done. Working on quote with supplier, but since I can't even run the high-shear blender I cut make any more testing samples.

If you need a test dummy I can offer up my wife . She had a brain tumor removed on July 14 and 15 the size of a softball and the surgery caused her to lose a lot of her hair. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Anything along the lines of Testruction reformulation?

That is proceeding too. No, this is based on the mechanistic frame I put together and tested for the CRIT formula (lowers hematocrit), involving manipulation of cell membrane composition.

Since weight training involves "injuring" the cell membrane, by using this mechanism to hyperload the membrane with certain compounds we can get an amplified damage response, with concomitant repair response, thus more protein synthesis and quicker recovery allowing higher and more intense volume.

Is this somewhat similar to what arachidonic acid is supposed to do? I assume this would be at least somewhat different. That’s fascinating though.

Shhhh....

Yes, just just ingesting ArA and hoping for the best is stone age level ****.

Kind of like why I used ArA in TopMuscle, to be taken up by the muscle you are working that day....

The rest can be extrapolated, but this is an oral design.

**to clarify, ArA modified is a component of this, but not the only one . All will be clear soon.

Whoops! Didn’t mean to ruin the surprise. I’ve never noticed anything from ARA, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for what you do.

BMP is still in customs, now in its 5th month.

I should be able to start using the high shear mixer here soon for the VM.
 
I'm late to this party but social media in general has removed freedom of speech. Facebook, YouTube, basically anything on the internet. Mind you I'm not on social media and I haven't been for 7 years or more. But this is what I keep seeing. They decide what you are allowed to openly say. If you go against the grain or disagree with anyone's agenda you get shut down. There's no room for discussion or providing proof, you just get muted. It's crazy. Your also not allowed to defend yourself. Someone can say whatever they want to offend you, but if you try to fight back your a bully? It's madness lol.

This new generation of crybabies and bitches creating more crybabies and bitches. The world's gone mad.

We are to a point now where certain things can’t be undone. Liberals are not going to go tell men, that they can’t complete in women’s sports anymore. It absolutely blows my mind that woman activist groups just stand back and let women everywhere be discriminated against when they threatened to burn down the WH when Trump was in it over gender equity.

I believe all of these things can and will be undone. All throughout time there are fad's and trends and all kinds of stuff that was taboo or out of the question years before that become in and eventually those things dissapear and something new takes over. Oddly enough the new "in" is men that act like ladies and ladies that want to be pineapples and pineapples that want to be dinosaur's. Does that sound rediculous? Ya, I agree lol.

But Im kinda on the same page as you as far as the women's rights stuff, how are they not up in arms about men competing in women's sports? Pretty soon, no real female on the planet will be a world record holder, your daughters are going to loose college scholarships to boys who are better then them at softball and soccer.

My only guess is the feminists think that men acting like ladies is a good thing so they let it slide....?

God I hope I'm right about this being a modern day fad that's going to fade, 💅🤦

The problem is that they are brainwashing young children to incorporate the insanity into their developing worldview. That is particularly difficult to root out and change. Just look at how deeply entrenched religious beliefs are when children are raised/saturated in it.

Oh I know, I regularly have arguments with my own kids. My teenage daughter trys to argue with me that it's completely fair for boys to play girls sports. She wants to get back into boxing so I told her ok. You can spar with the boys from now on since it's fair.

Complete silence 🤐
 
It's like they know it's wrong, but they have to flow with society views because to be compliant, but can't be compliant whEn it comes to chores and responsibilities

selective compliance...:oops:

the problem as i see it is they have some very intelligent teachers teaching them very clever arguments starting at a young age.

my dad says this-well then you tell your dad this, and when you have a class being taught the same things they get peer pressure on their side.

wasn't this the whole idea behind hitler's youth--to win over the young people starting at a very young age?

That's why they call it Revolution. Tear it down, bring it back down to single family level, then certain parents will be better at it so they pool resources and hire that parent to teach a bunch if kids, then the whole corrupt edifice starts all over again.
