Highlights from this day
- sarcopenia_sam — verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more 18:34
- sarcopenia_sam — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises 19:17
- sarcopenia_sam — right so what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine 19:42

the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not, for what its worth
blinded is better

who decides, the mods or the room
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
