Highlights from this day
- logrotate — unrelated but the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 12:20
- logrotate — update from 17 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped, ask me again in a month 12:36
- coa_or_cope — 31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back 12:40
- drawup_dee — do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass update from 25 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site… 12:45
- logrotate — i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror 12:51
dont recap

do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing
anyone inject in the back of the arm on their own successfully
31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back

is bruising more about the needle or the aftercare
