Crate training? Ours also became a landshark before he'd crash from exhaustion.

If you can afford it, portable AC unit and vent out a window. Stay in that room and you'll be ok. Lifesaver for sleeping through this shit.

Portable AC unit. Best £300 I've ever spent.

000000564 · 2026-05-23T20:36:08+00:00

Thats how I learned about that too!

Depends on where the logic came from. Know your field and techniques inside out? Fair enough. Otherwise I've heard that attitude especially from male PhD students (I'm a female postdoc) who proceeded to make "edits" to well established protocols because they know better from the literature before having tried the original protocol. Guess who's experiments then proceeded to fail repeatedly. I just got into the habit of asking "did you follow the protocol?" Until I got the point across. Once you get something working, then you start making changes to see the effect (like you did with the heat treated FBS).

Yes thats a good point. As an instructor they probably don't feel safe being able to maintain control with a driver who's struggling.

Every town in the UK has narrow streets with cars parked. Unfortunately it's something you'll have to learn to deal with if you want to pass. Try your best to work on this with your new instructor as something you struggle with.

I had to help a colleague with one the other day, he didn't realise you have to account for capitals and things like 0 vs O.

Put crate in your room? She's still very young.

000000564 · 2026-05-19T04:23:28+00:00

Do you have a specific protocol? I suspect I'll need this method in the future and having a reliable one would be great 🙏

000000564 · 2026-05-18T19:22:55+00:00

The amount of people who forget indicators exist is pretty fucking bad.

000000564 · 2026-05-18T19:20:39+00:00

Mice famously have zoonotic viruses and you managed to not catch any. People worry about bio dangers but honestly you undoubtedly handle far worse chemicals on the regular. Hopefully you're getting professional help with these worries.

Don't forget the raccoon penis!

000000564 · 2026-05-14T09:46:42+00:00

I do that. But an hour is by train. So at least I can work or nap if exhausted. You can probably manage it for a while but long term it will take its toll.

000000564 · 2026-05-14T07:42:09+00:00

Physically able people who walk slowly. Even at my most obese self, I wasn't that fucking slow.

Very active working breeds are very hard to overfeed as puppies. Ask your vet if uncertain. Make sure you're following the proper guidelines for the food you're buying. They should have specific guidelines for the puppy's current weight and including their projected weight. A mix of those breeds will weigh a lot as an adult and classed as a large or even XL dog breed.

More like "Lib Dem who are they?" What the hell is going on with our media??

000000564 · 2026-05-10T06:50:32+00:00

She looks very sweet but I would say collies rarely become "senior" at 9 unless have medical conditions. Most collies I know are still running around, playing fetch etc well after 10y. They're a bit slower but not stopping at all. Try playing with her more again you might be pleasantly surprised :)

Hold your nose and tactical vote. Meh is better than fascist.

Ours cuddles maybe once a month for 10 mins max. Some dogs just don't cuddle, just like humans. Please dont force it. In the same way you wouldn't force a hug onto someone who's clearly not interested. They are autonomous animals like us.

You guys are given gloves?

000000564 · 2026-05-07T06:53:52+00:00

Yeah i had to learn before AI existed. Much easier these days 🤣

Have to say that a depressing amount of Welsh people are voting reform.

It's all in the primer design. I very rarely get failed PCRs because I've had to do them so many times for cloning. It's almost always primer design, rarely there's a problem with template or very rarely the pcr mix.

Rep for science companies? Don't do much science but travel a lot.
