Starting a sister thread about the dog shit n-of-1 trial I'll be attempting.To go into more details about the setup process. https://t.co/26HiEGt1Gm
On my current list of things I thing would be worth while to sample: https://t.co/OEeQNVoqdZ
I wasn't joking when I said this:https://t.co/H2AP3Sjs5Z
I am told that inventing new apparatus is core to doing cutting edge science. Figured out a way to measure penis girth changes. Invented a weird looking masturbatory aid to measure corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum changes. Eureka! Penis Cup.https://t.co/f5155pwVcR https://t.co/xfRJsSNr5w
Ima become a water bender, lmaohttps://t.co/YuBpJW9OE3
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. And other stories about how an old memory of a hacky sex toy idea is turned into a scientific instrument of the finest quality. https://t.co/lMjNBClXUx
I also confirmed that Sonic Hedgehog does in fact control genital development.https://t.co/NEjlQSYUdbboth directly, and thru it's regulation of Gli2https://t.co/AFIMHihAZbSo that's neat!https://t.co/tD3VbRRvwE
I wanna figure out how to regrow penises like the duck.https://t.co/4wanmDeCES
"Penile Doppler ultrasonography was performed to check the diameter of each corpus cavernosum, and diameter and peak flow velocity of each cavernous artery before and after intracavernous injection"https://t.co/wNYorTfqwc 👀https://t.co/jSkzehdp56
Occurred to me that sonography method might be an equivalent way to measure clitoral development and could perhaps be usable as female analog for adhoc SHH signaling estimation.I think this means we gotta make a vaginal screaming device.
Gonna stick to water displacement for the current trial, but its fascinating that there might be somewhat accessible options for the aspiring DIY hacker, down the line.https://t.co/DYrzFCdZx5
So... Do I just poop in a cup or something?https://t.co/NUNaPRCEFv
> "Attach the stool collection paper to your toilet by lifting the toilet seat and adhering the collection paper to the top edge of the bowl, ensuring that the collection paper sags slightly."nifty.https://t.co/rpMQaTKQVo
"Transrectal ultrasonographic examination of the female urogenital tract in nonpregnant and pregnant captive bears (Ursidae)" [1997]https://t.co/ESJzeCJqbs
No, they are ANAL PROBE'ing the bears.and people back 1994. They even have a model number.https://t.co/nHeeJs6aRy@nsreed 🤔https://t.co/QGfdFN7m17
@nsreed I'm done looking up weird stuff scientists do to bears."serial transrectal ultrasonography demonstrated yearly oestrous (ovulation) cycles via follicular dynamics and CL formation on ovaries, accordingly with vaginal cytology and hormonal level in [bear]"https://t.co/lBjwVcx7Jx
Here's a tentative list of things I should be able to take measurements on. https://t.co/Q2Rwwi9hmu
Someone asked how I'm measuring grip strength.I ordered this back in April. It says it's ISO 9001 certified, whatever that means.https://t.co/qgNHddtrzY
I couldn't figure out how to make food today. But was able to plan out ways of charting urine color tracking using Dixie cups and a phone camera. I even found code to account or cup variation thanks to @michaelreeves making a robot pee in a cup. https://t.co/TxKedPNvT1
I think I might be getting something called Dysautonomia. But I can't tell if it's from Multiple Sclerosis, a generic autism trait. or something else entirely.https://t.co/XRUpWstsuk
I need to plan out how to make these tests dead simple to use.Something I can leverage is routine. If I have things set up and visible to me, I can go thru the motions of getting samples mostly without needing to plan.It's lots of upfront work, but it pays off w/ reliability.
When I am having meltdown states, I can't seem to figure out how to overcome even basic hurdles. I fuck up things in really absurd ways.Like... I literally don't have shoelaces on my shoes (they're elastic), but I still managed to get confused by it.https://t.co/U5cWDdZAw3
I basically have to assume that at any moment I'll lose the ability to stand, walk, be able to figure out basic things like how to work the microwave.Other times I can play games like baba-is-you, a notoriously mind-melting game, and solve many of the problems in moments.
I need to figure out grocery shopping. Note for future me:https://t.co/t0h94biGew
This is all to tell future me to eat sardines with high omega 3 and vitamin D when I start getting sad.Or more specifically, stock up on some kind of healthy preserved fish to avoid these states next winter.Playfully trolling myself. My 'self'.https://t.co/2QEKh7lvJz
Bought one of these from homedepot hoping I could easily take my temperature. They were on clearance.It's absolute garbage. Waste of money.https://t.co/AVOb4xwNFh
Reminding myself that I might just be able to write down my state in a log somewhere (probably not on twitter, it would get annoying). An example:https://t.co/IKeR3H5nGu
Found an interesting charting system for the purposes of tracking breast size for male an female plastic surgery. Tho not a fan of "web based" stuff. https://t.co/b8O9vCpBOrMost of the apps on the market are for bra sizing; isn't really as useful for tracking shape changes.
Got a blood o2 meter + pulse trackerhttps://t.co/8JWOgYpbFI Seems to work fairly well for heart rate, and way faster than my phone method.Caveat https://t.co/w9uMxVfutn
"among patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, pulse oximetry overestimates arterial oxygen saturation. It may be more appropriate to use arterial blood gas analysis, rather than pulse oximetry, to monitor treatment of hypoxemia in these patients"https://t.co/NUozQmbfjn
Cool, a literal cup + a bag of water can be used to judge volume of breasts too."present study demonstrated that the most accurate method of breast volume measurement is mammography, followed by the Archimedes method." https://t.co/hAmIUzAtqP https://t.co/61HxgAERUa
Grabbed two thermometers at Walmart. I technically already own the temple touch one, but couldn't find batteries.Both seem to work just fine.Got 98.3*f (the temple one is sometimes wrong) https://t.co/zyQkcWzTKo
FYI, walgreens brand of keto urinary test sticks (for acetoacetate) are a white-label version of another company's.Instructions specify to wait 15 seconds. This is how much darker it got after spending another 20 seconds on top of that to get my phone (compare to the 'small') https://t.co/vZWWlPBhKz
Don't have any good place to put this, so I'm just messaging myself on Keybase for now.Will get a proper place to log data tomorrow when I can think better.Got vitals so I know if I'm dying. https://t.co/fAkLlwwxdZ
Fun fact: if your arm goes numb because you had it compressed funny while sleeping... You can get an SPO2 reading of 56 or lower while still having a normal heart rate. It was neat to watch the number go up after un-kinking the arm.Other arm was fine at 98%
"We're looking for feedback from the community over the next six months. Are we measuring the right things? Are we measuring them the right way?" — @j_n_justicehttps://t.co/PGkQRQ8bIJI already did the legwork for figuring this out lmao.https://t.co/DlrprK4gn4
Crazy? Hah.https://t.co/1dUmn0uckD https://t.co/h3wL2XM1Zx
Why I'm not going to enter the longevity xprize even tho I could probably win it: https://t.co/6MOtxgidzg
I at least hope it's not just going to be measured by yet another bullshit 'aging cock' system https://t.co/tSN7JULPhn
