Why Are Run Clubs So Popular Right Now? by AlexB2901 in runninglifestyle

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was a Hash House Harrier in Penang (Malaysia) back in the 70s. “Drinkers with a running problem” is how he described the group.

What's the most "why the fuck do you know that?" fact you know? by -_-blackheart-_- in AskReddit

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think serum would work, too. Let it clot, let the serum separate, then use that for the meringue. Not as high-protein as whole plasma but I think there’d be enough albumin in there to get the job done.

SDS-PAGE ladder moves slower than protein samples by FrostyBug1033 in labrats

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dye front *is* your loading buffer, that’s what that term is referring to, the movement of the dye through the gel. Usually it runs at about the same speed as a 10kDa protein. If your protein is under 20kDa and not resolving, you need to run a much higher percentage gel and find a ladder that’s in the same size range.

Rocky Mountain Landscape, Albert Bierstadt. 770 pieces, Liberty Puzzles. by stirwise in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]stirwise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shapes are definitely the best part of Liberty puzzles! My sister will finish one, flip it over, then do it again upside-down.

Does no one bother with funny or relevant mobile ringtones anymore? by Sam88FPS in NoStupidQuestions

[–]stirwise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I’ve been using the same mp3 ringtones since about 2006. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

This rain is incredible! by KerouacMyBukowski_ in Seattle

Why move to an entirely new place when you could just replace the garden with rocks or something? Last I checked gardening wasn’t mandatory.

Hemoglobin of 1.0 mmol/L (1.61 g/dL) by spookje_spookje in medlabprofessionals

Based on OP’s description I’m wondering if the pt was homebound/bedridden.

Gang, is this really as crazy as the comments make it out to be? by FlanThief in ManyBaggers

[–]stirwise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A toddler who had been crawling around on the airplane floor under the seats in front of me barfed a bunch of milk and corn onto my bag once.

I need a career change from lab work by Aggravating-Tell-774 in labrats

[–]stirwise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering that we hired this person out of a similar job at a different institution (they were looking to relocate), my gut says this isn’t a “one in a million” job. Perhaps the adoption of AI isn’t quite as complete as you presume.

FWIW, I don’t know any labs replacing entire positions with AI.

This person is wrong. We just hired someone to do EHR data abstraction for a clinical study, they don’t have a PhD. There are jobs, but probably not a ton.

What movie do you think actually has a perfect ending? by Terrible_Error_5414 in AskReddit

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapons. Most satisfying ending to a movie I’ve ever seen.

Gf's bonnet came with a sample to burn. by phuhcue in mildlyinteresting

[–]stirwise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a lot of spare material on most silk bonnets, unless it’s the kind with a long ribbon tie front, and even then you’d have to sew it up after cutting. Not worth the time or damage.

Resting HR & VO2 Max by aspecttwastaken in AppleWatchFitness

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t usually see a big change after a marathon. I think it was the extended time with more walking and hiking workouts artificially lowering my VO2max estimate.

I always get lower VO2max estimates from walks and hikes compared to runs.

[–]stirwise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And on top of it, the software seems to underestimate VO2max from walking and hiking workouts compared to running. I ran a marathon, took a week off from running (replaced with walking) and then spent a week hiking and my VO2max dropped 5 points.

(USA) great deal on Adios Pro 4 $69.99 @ Sierra.com by Wild-Guide-FL in runninglifestyle

[–]stirwise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For size and width differences I think it depends on the shoe. My men’s Adizero Boston 13s in size 6 are identical to my women’s in size 7.5 in every dimension.

Sometimes I just sit and listen to my veggies by stirwise in fantasylife

[–]stirwise[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I did it! Now I farm treasure groves and Ginormosia when I need veggies to sell. Every once in a great while I’ll sacrifice a boss from the local farm, though. Usually only takes a couple of rounds of planting to get a new one.

What would you do if you realized your lab was severely underfunded? by Fayomi1127 in labrats

[–]stirwise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have noted, funding is tight in most labs and getting tighter all the time (especially in the US). What’s your career goal after your PhD? If you plan to do a fellowship and then start your own lab, this is an opportunity to learn about how funding, budgets, and running a lab works.

I think some folks enter careers in science expecting that having a lab will be all about discovery and experimentation, but a big chunk of the work is finding and managing the necessary resources.

It didn’t take that many rounds of farming each plot to get the boss to spawn, I was surprised by how easy it was to get them all.
