the smugness is the prize
update from 14 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter, n of 1 obviously
not mcg again
i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk
coming back to this strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it, we shall see
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here, i think
i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them, ill dig out the number
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here
the bet. i want to formally check in on the bet
which bet
whether an oral small-molecule GLP-1 is actually buyable by a normal person, in a normal pharmacy, before the end of 2026
the stake is a pint that none of us will ever be in the same country to drink
the stake is honour, and one pint, escrowed in spirit
i said yes in 2024 and i am starting to sweat
trial readouts are one thing. regulatory filing is another. supply at a counter near you is a third thing entirely and thats the one you bet on
whats the actual state of it
phase 3 programme has been reporting, thats public. everything after that is manufacturing scale-up and regulators, and neither of those posts a schedule for our benefit
i will note for the record that this channel also confidently predicted a shortage would end in six weeks. that was two years ago
the six weeks prophecy
💀18😂9
the six weeks prophecy is the reason i now bet against my own optimism
keep the qualitative version and stop guessing dates. thats the lesson we relearn annually

in unrelated news my team have conceded in the 91st minute for the third time this season
third?
third. i have started leaving at 88 minutes as a health intervention
a legitimate use of the word intervention
⚽12😭6
meanwhile im watching a test match that has been rain-affected for two days and i am having a wonderful time
explaining to a non-cricket person that two days of nothing is the good part is impossible
it isnt nothing. its structure
its structure

can i change the subject to dogs
always
mine is a nine year old lurcher and she is the entire reason i hit my step count

she does 4km twice a day whether i want to or not. i credit her with about 8kg
the dog is doing more for your outcomes than any of us
back to the bet — if it lands in 2027 do you win or do we void
you lose. the bet said 2026. the drug does not care about your feelings and neither do i
the ruling is harsh and correct
⚖️15😂12
im escrowing the pint anyway
