Reasonable warning

You’re the first person from Luxembourg I ever met

We're a small country. We do exist!
Generally we Luxembourgers are considered very friendly, balanced and well humoured.

We are European, we do not take life so serious. It is for enjoyment, after all.
 
The Braun v-spike with the .5 micron filter? The one you recommended previously?

Popped one in a 50cc vial. Lasted maybe 20 draws of 1cc before the solvents broke it.

Not suitable.
If you got "20 draws" from one of those spikes... it's an exception. You are correct, they are NOT SUITABLE. Maybe if it's used over a short period of time, like less than one week to 10 days. But overall, they are not made well enough to stand up to the solvents longer than that, if that.

Never had an issue with a 10ml vial, Test-Cyp 250-300, 20 draws. Also Test prop 100
"20 draws?" You, "never had an issue...???". I've never had one of those spikes survive that long.

Assuming your 20 draws are over a 20 day period... and you're consistently getting that vial after vial? That would make you the only person I know who "never had an issue."

Those spikes deteriorate rapidly once AAS solvents are introduced. On average, they may last up to 10 days, if that, before falling apart where glued together.

I stopped using them, and believe they are harmful. The degrading glue residue could get sucked up into the draw or regurgitate back and compromise the vial.

Airing on the side of caution—as an advocate of "harm reduction"—I wouldn't use them with AAS oils.

So you have electricity?
 
Of course.

We have 240v as standard to all properties. Maybe once US GDP is higher you well have more powerful electricity too?

I can only imagine how disappointing 120v is...
It’s harder to electrocute yourself when you stick dining utensils in the outlet with 120v
 
My country of birth (Luxembourg) has a significantly higher GDP than the US! As does my country of residence (Ireland) Not sure that's relevant to anything though?

Maybe history is taught different in America but over here we are taught a gentleman named Tim Berners-lee invented the internet.

Youre very aggressive. Like small dog. Woof woof.
I see they don’t teach math in Luxembourg.

Probably too busy producing nothing and leaching off of society in the form of usury

Al gore inventing the internet, to use your term, tongue in cheek.

GDP is typically compared per capita, not gross.

Different picture that way... Luxembourg is 2nd in world, US is 5th.

Al gore must be a cultural reference - as I have no idea why you would state he invented internet? I assume is reference would need to be American to understand!

Must have missed the part where per capita was ever mentioned in this thread…..

Al Gore claims to have invented the internet. And also claims he discovered global warming. He is a clown.

Per Capita is the defacto measure for comparing a nations GDP, so you excuse me for defaulting to such. Yes, gross US is higher, however divided by disproportionately more people. This means in real terms people in Luxembourg are wealthier on average - hence our more powerful electricity and silver cutlery.

Yes, al gore is a clown. This we can agree on. However over here he has not made much discussion since his terrible documentary maybe 20 years ago now? Did not realise he was still active
 
you got that one right. i was skeptical ever since more and more people got on here. i started buying from qsc in 2022 and it was extremely pleasant to deal with. it just got slowly worse and worse i knew something was gonna happen and then ghouls post was the final nail in the coffin. i’m broke as fuck right now so i’m blessed that qsc accidentally sent extra kits of test. got 78 weeks worth. we’ll see what happens.
 
i tried to come off the test even just slightly and man i felt so fucking terrible. started gear in 2022. this shit is crazy. i took it for granted for so long.

Ahh..a GDP discussion about Luxembourg. It is higher, but it’s also a bit deceiving, a lot of people who work in Luxembourg don’t actually live there so their actual earnings don’t fall into the GDP calculation… but overall it is a very nice country, just a bit over-priced and arrogant for my tastes.

To be honest I'm not even sure the relevance of GDP to the conversation - the guy i was quoting seemed to think it was very important though.

Yes, is a nice country. Maybe you did meet some arrogant people there but I would suggest that indicates more about the human condition than it does about our people as a group. Similar to how there is atleast one very arrogant individual in this thread but certainly not a representation of all Americans!

Everywhere is over priced at the moment - except Portugal. If you have money and can work remotely Portugal is a very good prospect for quality of life. Shame there's not much good employment there though so remote working is essential.

I agree with you 100%.

I am now kicking myself for listening to this dude and ordering these "harm reduction filtered vial spikes". I probably injected myself with a bunch of dissolved plastics and filter particles.

I wouldn't kick myself bro. I bought a lot of those spikes too. They're theoretically a great piece of equipment... they just didn't work for our purposes. Gave it a shot... it's a "no go." Subsequently, it would be disingenuous of me to say they DO, especially when they're literally "falling apart at the seams."
 
Pot…kettle. I can’t wait until the small hats grow as tired of your country as I have.

I had to Google this. I discover this is language of anti-semite and therefore I will leave it here. My mother told me never argue with fools; they shall drag you to their level and beat you with experience.

I also discover use of much for your language indicates you are most likely a teenager/gen-z. yes, yes. Very edgy you are.

There goes that Luxembourg education system bearing its ugly head again. I have gym shirts older than some zoomers.

If you quit sniffing your own ass for all of 5 minutes, the fumes might wear off and you could put together a cohesive thought.

Sorry, I don't speak nazi.

Also sorry about your old shirts. I didn't realise the situation was that bad out there that you could not afford new clothing. Just keep working to raise GDP per capita and you can be as well dressed as us Luxembourg:)
