- adelaide_assay — do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass, ill dig out the number 09:50
- tokyo_taper — genuine question a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 11:14
- tokyo_taper — update from 3 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped 11:15
- endotoxin_ed — slightly off topic but warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 11:30
