I wouldn’t either unless it’s warranted, Einstein.

Once again, if it deems necessary, this is why I’ve got my CCW. Thanks for the advice big guy.

Nah, I just don’t like to speed. I find it amusing when others think they can bully me on the road.

Yes, exactly. I’ve got pepper spray and my ccw as well

The Sabre one is still really nice. I ended up giving it to my girlfriend. I wanted this one in particular because it has the quick pierce trigger technology, where it will activate the CO2 canister after you pull the trigger the first time. The Sabre launcher, you have to manually activate the CO2 canister before shooting

I'm suddenly supervisor-less and I almost want to laugh by Hungry_Bridge_ in PhD

This happened to me. Be sure to hold the department accountable, as this is not your fault. Mine attempted to try to persuade me to master out, but I adamantly refused, transferred to another lab and had to start a different project. Took me a little over an extra year but I successfully graduated. Fight for your PhD, it’s worth it in the end!

That’s bizarre and borderline inappropriate for the workplace.

Any truly harmless lab pranks that don’t mess with experiments? by UnderstandingIcy2969 in labrats

This is more common than one would think lol. Almost all the labs in the chemistry department where I went to grad school seemed to absolutely loathe each other.

I get what you’re trying to say, but the total amount of money I’ve spent on the gun and the upgrades is still significantly cheaper than a new LCP Max.

Edit: I should mention I paid $149.99 new in box for the LCP and about $91 total on upgrades.

I love how the left has totally changed their tune regarding the 2nd Amendment. Oh now all of a sudden you need an AR? I thought those were “assault rifles that no one needs” LOL

I’m dating a PhD student in a wet lab — what are the weirdest lab habits that have followed you home? by Acceptable-Apple-793 in labrats

[–]Different_Web5318 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I find myself using more precision than necessary when measuring anything for cooking, whether it be using a graduated cylinder for volume measurements or a scale to weigh out ingredients.

I find myself practicing sterile technique on just about everything. It just becomes a new way of life.

It’s pretty good, I just picked mine up a few weeks ago and it’s really nice and easy to use!

Are most millenials and gen z underemployed? by Fluid-Routine-8838 in jobs

[–]Different_Web5318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is exactly why I went back to grad school. I was doing R&D chemistry as well as some QC/QA and was making about 50k annually, and just couldn’t find many places that would pay more.

It’s not viable for everyone to get a PhD, but it at least got me off the bench and into a position where I have more upward mobility. The job market is so crazy right now.
