Highlights from this day
- quiet_head_qi — if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way 18:36
- slow.taper — if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space, anyway 18:39
- quiet_head_qi — dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month, i have it written down somewhere 19:46
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it

lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile
dead space
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
foam is bad
