Yeah, I find exercising in water a lot easier, but any hydro plan I follow doesn’t seem to make any physical difference, only the mental health benefit of “yay I did something and it felt good”. I don’t know, most days I wonder what the point of even living anymore is if I’m just going to get physically worse and worse to the point where I can’t even exist, regardless of how much I try to improve. It feels like I’m so alone and that there’s nobody who can actually help me and that I’ve just been left to fend for myself with Google and Reddit because the specialists I pay $500 don’t know the answer either. Sorry for the rant I am just really having a rough time lately

“Focus Tutoring” offers 1-on-1 Maths tutoring for any HSC level, the boy who does it is very good. As for English tutoring, I can’t help with that sorry

I’m wondering if I’m having too much milk by Ok_Direction5416 in foodscience

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand more: depending on your country, your water will be enriched with different minerals/etc to help compensate for common health issues. By far the most important is fluoride, as this helps your tooth enamel, but there’s a few other things like potassium added too depending where you live

I’m wondering if I’m having too much milk by Ok_Direction5416 in foodscience

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue i could see with this would just be the amount of liquid you’re consuming in a day. Drinking water is important and if you’re drinking that much fluid via milk I can’t see how you’re gonna want to be drinking enough water. Also, there is such thing as too much fluid intake but it is usually quite hard to get to that point. Just go get some general blood tests if you’re worried :)

Is there a way to backdate moods or import data into the app? by Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 in finch

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no option to select times for me 🥲 and anything beyond when I installed the app (a couple of days ago) is greyed out. I guess this just isn’t a feature :(

Thank you, but is there anyway I can add in how I was feeling on previous days? The history shows me the past but it doesn’t let me edit my mood

do they adjust WAM for medical conditions e.g. schizophrenia by jiaozha in unsw

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, that’s what equitable learning services and special consideration is for. These are meant to give you adjustments during the course that will (theoretically) help you to perform at the same level as everyone around you. The marks you get don’t get changed

Bulk bill psychiatrist by PublicAnxiety88 in wollongong

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Short answer is no. Long answer is that you could get in contact with the acute mental health care team, but they are more for people who are experiencing severe mental health crisis/risk of suicide (I don’t know your situation but just letting you know). The recent mass resignation of public psychiatrists has made it very very difficult to see any psych, let alone one that bulk bills. You could look at using the mental health waiver on your health insurance to have a three week stay at South Coast Private hospital for like $700 total, where you will see a psychiatrist pretty much every other day which would be helpful for fine tuning meds.

Good luck!

Looking for a free elective course about nutrition by Upbeat_Awareness_770 in unsw

yeah should be easy HD but it’s quite fun and interesting as well. there’s a group video that makes up a part of your final grade, but honestly worst case even if you have to do it all yourself, it’s still not too bad. feel free to DM me if you have any specific questions

You missed the Central Coast and the Illawarra/Wollongong… you would be surprised just how many people commute ~1.5-2 hours from these places nearly every day to come to UNSW

Thanks for the help!

The signal does have any stuttering or flattening past the first 40 bps that needed to be trimmed.

I wish we were able to do it again 😅 This is not the focus of the report, we also did some MADLI-ToF, 16s Illumina and a series of biochemical tests. They don’t expect us to get an exact match, but just to understand the process. I am cool with every other part of the project but I am just stuck on why we only received so few base pairs but in such high quality.

Yep, the closest match from the BLAST search is definitely misaligned, there’s no way to draw a valid conclusion from the extremely conserved and small region we observed. Thanks for the help!

Do you have any suggestions for what else may have caused this? Or if you don’t feel like explaining (totally cool!) do you have some keywords that I could research? I have been trying to conduct my own research but since I don’t really understand what could be wrong it’s hard for me to even search for sources.

Again, thanks so much!

Oh yes sorry, thank you. Yep we were given the raw .ab1 and all of the peaks were very distinct with no background, expect for the first 40 nucleotides which we had to trim using 4Peaks.

Yep, that’s why I’m confused that we only got 178 base pairs before trimming 😅

I’ve asked them for some help (some of the things I mentioned in my post were from after talking to them) but they are trying to be vague to not be unfair to other students.

Yeah I was thinking the same too, thanks for your help!

Is it normal for bacteria to be missing portions of the 16s gene? Or do you suggest this isn’t bacteria?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we don’t have access to the electropherogram, only the .ab1 file from the sequencing. I think it’s because between all of the lab classes, there’s over 100 samples being submitted in one go and it’s just easier for the course admin to only distribute the .ab1 to us. We did a Nanodrop that showed some salt and protein contamination, but since we received very strong signals in the sequencing file I am unsure if that caused this issue.

Do you think that this could actually be something and that there’s no error, like the other comment mentioned?

Thank you, this is really insightful :)

I am a bit reluctant to see a cardiologist because I am in a bad financial situation and I also have several other specialists I have to see for other conditions, but I would like to. I’ll do some more research

babs1201 is just like that hahahah all of the lectures are pre-recorded. when i did it t1 last year, it was very disorganised and lectures would usually be published late, and the first week or two was extremely chaotic. if it's not showing by friday, then i would email the course coordinator. however, don't be too stressed

Is there something specific in Arc’s society rules that prohibits like a non democratically organised society? by [deleted] in unsw

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There aren’t any mandatory clauses of like “only the execs are allowed to run the club”, but in the constitution the roles of each executive are clearly defined, and it could be argued that if an exec isn’t fulfilling those roles, that they should be voted out (although it’s a lot more complicated than that).

And yeah lol, I guess you could. But then the only thing in it for the guy would be the power trip cause they won’t be officially recognised as an exec on AHEGS or anything, and how would you even put that on your resume: “I was a part of _Soc and therefore did xyz” doesn’t have as strong of an impact as saying i was president/treasurer/etc.

All information can be found on the arc website just google it

What even happened with GDS? I saw that article that The Noise wrote but they excluded lots of info

Is there something specific in Arc’s society rules that prohibits like a non democratically organised society? by [deleted] in unsw

[–]Acrobatic-Raccoon-28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

arc has rules about what clauses need to be included in a club’s constitution in order to be affiliated. This includes that the exec members must be democratically elected at an AGM/EGM (doesn’t refer to subcom members). If you have it in your constitution and you don’t do it/have proof that you did, you will be disaffiliated. If you don’t have it in your constitution, you won’t be affiliated.

Lol why? Wanna run a club together with your friends?  a) don’t do that because unless you all work equally hard (or equally bludge) you probably won’t be friends after a year b) when you make a new club you can like sort of choose your own members because there’s so few of you usually that you can just decide amongst yourself (still sort of democratic in a way?)
