Alright gotta do this before I head out, transformers I mostly know them to do one thing and that's changing voltage. You either have step up or what I've learned them for mostly in HVAC as step down as in changing 240 volts to 24 volts. There's not much you really do to fix them if they aren't working just make sure the wires coming in are actually secured on it and the lines out also. If it ain't working you replace it with an OEM and move on but I done some digging into how they work. As shown in the image you got windings shown primary and secondary and how the voltage change depend on the ratio of windings you got and the voltage coming in. Something something Faradays of induction and you got EMF, look I'm not gonna pretend I fully understand it all yet but I'm trying. I know this component is real important since while the main things in HVAC require 240 volts a lot of safe guards and other components need just 24 volt to get working such as contactors and switches to get the power through. Anyway keep looking out on this mega as I add more through out the week as I try to educate myself on it by reading.

Pharmacies are wild. Got some pills that are the teeniest tiniest pills. Dose is 1/4 tablet a day. How the hell am I supposed to cut this thing into quarters??? Why not just make a pill that has a smaller dose? Sheeesh
Some pharmacies might compound it for you into a liquid, but yeah.
Welcome to my life. Some doctors at the hospital I work at order .25 mg dilaudid PO for patients (quarter tab). First off, joke of a fucking dose but I didnt go to medical school so what do I know 🙄, second off they wont even cut 1 mg tabs i half. Luckily theyre scored so its easy to snap em once... but twice??? And the doctors insist on tabs, there are oral solutions of dilaudid.
My cypro ended up being a quarter tab dose too and those pills were TINY. So glad after bottom surgery I never have to worry about an anti androgen again lol
It's my cypro! Why are they like this?? I haven't started it yet because I'm not out of spiro, but yeah, tiny fucking pill with a score to split it in half but like....quarter?? Come on.
I get pretty bad side effects from cypro so to find a middle ground I end up splitting those super tiny pills into eighths, which is pretty tricky lol
That is an impressive feat! What do you use to cut them?
I have an old but high quality kitchen knife thats somehow still sharp that I trust for such precise tasks
You can get a pill splitter but honestly when I was down to a quarter tab, it wasnt much help :/
Not recommending it, but I do wonder if it would simply be better to crush them and weigh them out of a quarter of their weight instead lol
cypro has a really long half life so you can half them and take them every second day if that's easier. are they the round ones with a line down the middle? i split them along the line with my fingernails and then bite each half into quarters when I'm dosing
Lemme guess 5 mg finaestride, those are a bitch to cut
I'm not taking that, it's cyproterone acetate
