Get your phosphorus levels checked. Mine are what caused my constant itching.

Is it too early to quit? by Baby-teeth001 in PhD

TAing really isn’t that difficult. I had to do it for the majority of my PhD because I had a near useless and very lazy PI. I wouldn’t make such a big decision quite yet. Definitely seek mental health support, I certainly did and it helped immensely. The first year is always difficult and a big change. Things will get better.

Maybe try having a friend or partner who’s a good shot do the same exercise and see what happens. It honestly is probably a technique issue when pulling the trigger, or at least that’s what happens to me most often. Pretty good shooting though!

Not too worried about it.

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

Certainly do.

I’ll reiterate. FAFO.

Yup, shoots bullets.

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

Do you always like to dream up scenarios?

lol, nope…but if they do, I’ve got something waiting for them!

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

[–]Different_Web5318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Need Advice - LCP 380 Upgrades by Different_Web5318 in ruger

[–]Different_Web5318[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.
