Impurity thresholds: where the common numbers come from Replied, post #12 · Analytics › Impurities & related substances · 22 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Where an impurity is identified rather than merely counted, the certificate is telling you the manufacturer has characterised its own process. That is a meaningful…

Pinch or no pinch, and how needle length changes the answer — what changed since Replied, post #60 · Practice › Administration · 21 Jul 2026 · 15 likes Appreciated. The plain phrasing does more work here than a longer post would.

Revisiting: Journal club: SURMOUNT-OSA and a hard endpoint in a soft field Replied, post #94 · Evidence › Journal club · 10 Jul 2026 · 3 likes Answering the question post #90 raises rather than the one it answers.

[2026 update] Interpreting a result that disagrees with the supplier's certificate Replied, post #49 · Sourcing › Independent verification · 28 Jun 2026 · 7 likes This follows post #46 rather than contradicting it. I would keep Interpreting a result and the decision it usually gets used for separate in this thread. They are…

Spreadsheets: an appreciation — what changed since Replied, post #78 · Lounge › Off topic · 22 Jun 2026 · 7 likes Clear enough that I do not think I have a follow-up, which is unusual.

Second pass at: Programming during a large energy deficit Replied, post #31 · Nutrition & Training › Resistance training · 17 Jun 2026 · 17 likes Genuine question rather than a rhetorical one: has anyone here actually observed Programming during a large energy, as opposed to read about it? The thread is long and…

An appeal that succeeded, with the letter structure — the long version Replied, post #78 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 10 Jun 2026 · 32 likes Same experience here, different supplier, so it is at least not unique to one of them.

Risk-of-bias tools and the judgement they conceal — does this still hold? Replied, post #13 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 7 Jun 2026 · 1 like On Risk-of-bias tools I would separate what is worth knowing from what is worth acting on. The first list is long and the second is short, and conflating them is how…
