Is the Janoshik screening for contamination worth it ?

I'd encourage anyone who joins that server to keep their wits about them and think carefully about whether you're comfortable implicitly trusting a server that is 90% AI generated content and whose owner views how many times she's been banned from other servers, vendors and otherwise, as a badge of honor.

I'd also like to add that this forum is indexed by Google and at times a good 75% of people here are 'guests' so please be aware you are not only sharing with friends- you are sharing with any random person who finds the forum.

I have such FOMO after not getting to see the SSA telegram go feral, now I join ANY discord that even LOOKS like it may have a trainwreck at some point. I have collected enough potentially sketchy peps and have no need of more; now I'm collecting potentially sketchy discords and that's just where I am. I'm gonna quit this nonsense and go make a glass spider for a new coworker who's sad everyone has one except her (she wasn't here when I gave them all out.)

So… basically do you all just add the $300 testing fee per kit you order? Test every one of them?

Wait. What? You make glass spiders?! Do you have an Etsy?

 

[desinr-gal]

Thank you!

I always rewatch this before doing mine and I still mess up! I just watched one where they pre wet the filter with bac water... any thoughts? Does that help? I've destroyed a few..

Also the person only reconned with half the planned bac, so that after filtering they added the rest of the bac through the filter to flush out the rest of the peptide that may have gotten stuck inide. and then some more..

Thoughts??

No, nothing so complex--I have a glass bead habit, and when I'm not in the mood to make a whole piece of jewelry, I sometimes make a little glass beaded spider! I gave them all away in my office earlier this year, because I know I'm never going to dust them and would rather they go live their own little lives. But one girl I like wasn't here yet, and was wistful that she missed it. So I just made this for her.

omg that's adorable!

 

[randompersonrandom]

Also, I'm prolly doxing myself but whatever, I'm so tired. If you know me in real life and you see my spider and my cat and think "Whoa, hey, I see ________ on that peptide forum!" no the fuck you do not.

Im a jeweler/ designer; I appreciate the time and design work!

Thank you! I learned from this video:

They're surprisingly easy to make once you get the hang of it.

Please be careful on that server. I'm not looking to start shit but there are multiple problematic users who are there because they have been banned elsewhere for bad behavior.

Do you... sell the fancy spiders? Just asking. No reason. I've never had a pet jumping spider. Nope, just think it's super cute.

Make friends. Order the same stuff. Split the cost. Doesn't have to be expensive.

When I had my guide up my irl BFF found it when I gave him a couple vials and was SO PROUD he reconned a vial without my help. He did eventually figure out it was me because I'm a damn nerd with my profile pictures.

Oh, I'm VERY look-but-don't-touch on discord. I chat a little on the GYC one, mostly with people I've met here, but I just watch on the others. Appreciate the heads up, in case I'm ever tempted, I'll know to just NOT.

No, I sell so little of my work in general. Every hobby or art I ever monetized, I lost interest in very quickly. I just make a spider here and there, and give it to someone so it can go live a long life and be part of someone else's memories.

But you should SEE the jumpers we have in Texas! There's a black and white furry kind with gorgeous blue pedipalps. I had an exterminator out for termites once who spotted one, and asked if he could take it with him. I said "Depends. Will the reason you want to take it because good for the spider?" Turned out he keeps a couple as pets. I went and caught it for him and sent it home with him; figured that's a pretty good deal for the spider, to live in climate control with free food and nothing to eat it!

its 500$ for 4 vials so you can buy 4 kits at a time and test 1 vial from each.

this is what i am doing. Depends of your risk tolerance.

or join group testing and insist on donating a vial ( or pay the full price of an addon vial, 60$ )

Also be aware that when they get nuked (and they DO!) the nuked discord still counts against your allowable total. This means mathematically you can be whittled down to maybe nothing. I'm in like 20 but when I go to add another I can't without deleting an existing one.

I was NOT aware of this!!! That changes things for me, thank you.

You're a soothsayer. Both STG testing and Andy's Pep Studio got nuked in the last day or two while I was sitting in them, and now I know I will forever be holding their corpses on discord. Sad about Andy's; that discord was an absolute fever dream, with pet pictures, crazy recipes, and the vendor pleading with someone, ANYONE to try to make one of the recipes for a coupon, and all kinds of things nobody asked for and yet there they were. I've never bought from them, but I sure did like watching them market. Anyway, I just left ERP (terrible prices and I'm pretty sure they just started a discord and immediately abandoned it, because people used it as a place to talk sources during peptocalypse) and WBS (where people just randomly came in and abused them).
