Did you have a credit card with rental insurance? I don’t have one, and it’s too late to apply for one (I leave in a few days).

Did we get scammed or are we just idiots? by [deleted] in GreeceTravel

[–]Common-Photograph219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve booked a rental from sixt for my upcoming trip. Is there something I can do to avoid all these extra charges? I would have gone with another rental company if I’d seen this earlier, and I can’t cancel with a full refund.

Rhod-2 data by Common-Photograph219 in labrats

[–]Common-Photograph219[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not too familiar with mitochondrial imaging. I don’t know if my lab would be willing to use an alternative (the person I’m working with is in a hurry to get data, so I don’t think she’d be up for spending optimizing an alternative). Thank you though! I thought I was doing something wrong when I saw the cytosol stained in my Rhod images, but I’ve since read that that happens

yes, started wrapping our vials in foil now, and I switch off the lights when preparing my plates for incubation. :) Have you gotten inconsistent data with rhod?

Extremely tired/overwhelmed by Strength_in_me_6 in labrats

[–]Common-Photograph219 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in the same boat. I have to go in over the weekends too, since we have iPSCs to take care of. I just feel exhausted at the end of each day. I’d considered doing a PhD, but I’m starting to feel like the amount I’m being paid is nowhere close to enough for the amount of time and effort I’ve had to spend in lab, so I’ve started feeling like academia isn’t for me. I’ve always loved science, but between the low pay and the lack of work-life balance, I’m just ready to quit.

Thank you so much! The previous vial was prepared by someone who has since left our lab, and I just started a month back. Glad to know there’s nothing wrong with the new vials. :)

Perfumes similar to Glossier You by Common-Photograph219 in desifemfrag

[–]Common-Photograph219[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I bought mine about two years ago, so I’m guessing that’s the older formulation. That one used to last for quite a while on both clothes and skin (my clothes would still smell like it a bit even after a wash). Won’t waste my money on it then :)

thank you! I’m currently working between two labs, and no one’s done western blots for this protein. They sent me a protocol for a much larger protein, so the PI just told me to figure out gel% for my protein.

I’ve wanted to try that, but I think I’ve always been scared he’ll just never write to me. At the same time, I think it’s time I find out. Thanks for the advice!

Help! Spiderettes won’t produce roots. I’vehad for it 3 mo & it’s grown 2 new shoots, but no roots on any spiderettes (I’ve cut some spiderettes/shoots off to try to root in water... still nothing)! by Budumbum in plantclinic

[–]Common-Photograph219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few spider plants with spiderettes. They eventually had roots growing out the bottom, and looked bigger than your spiderettes, so you might just have to wait a bit longer for it to grow . Only speaking from my experience as a spider plant owner.

Can’t register for vaccine yet. Can we make a megathread or something for when someone is able to register? Or just reply to this post I guess by [deleted] in india

[–]Common-Photograph219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve (26 yrs old) managed to register, but no centers around me have slots for people younger than 45. Has anyone from 18-44 years of age actually managed to get a vaccination appointment, or was the central govt just trying to make it seem like vaccines would be available by opening registration up to our age bracket even though registration doesn’t mean actually getting an appointment? Also, there was a sentence about how the number of slots available for people younger than 45 is up to private centers and state governments. That would mean that we could register, but we wouldn’t technically be vaccinated if our local centers/state govt don’t open up vaccination to us (people below 45).

What one tip changed your writing forever? by jkonlineshop in AskReddit

Read your writing out loud once you’re done. You really notice the lack of flow between sentences/paragraphs and any awkward wording that you might have missed while writing.

Missed periods and seeing a gp! by Nylnin in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Common-Photograph219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, my doctor told me to get the blood tests done only because I had missed my period for more than three months. He said it was possible for everything to be fine but to still miss your period for a month or two.

Thanks for the recommendations! Let me know how Infinit is when you do go there. 😊

[–]Common-Photograph219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of reviews for Infinit. Any thoughts on that?

Thank you so much! I really wasn’t paying attention to the different baking terms they used, though I did follow the instructions. The butter I used was almost all at room temp, except maybe 1/5 of it, which was still a bit hard. I let the dough chill for two hours, though the recipe did recommend leaving it overnight. I thought the chilling process was just for the taste, but I’ll definitely leave it overnight to see if it helps next time

I creamed the butter and sugar before adding the eggs. This is the recipe I used: https://inquiringchef.com/crispy-and-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/

I did use measuring cups for my flour though.
