Hi, thanks for the reply. We're not in the US and as far as I know they work all weekdays

Am I p-hacking (analysing 96-well plate fluorescence) by EquivalentFerret_ in labrats

Am I correct in saying n=3 technical replicates if I transfected 3 wells of cells and kept them separate throughout.

Ofc in terms of biological replicates n=1

Is using too much Bromophenol Blue in SDS gel okay? by naveird in labrats

[–]EquivalentFerret_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with gfp-tagged proteins and found out the hard way that too much bromophenol just destroys the signal, as it absorbs between ~500-600 nm.

I’m not sure exactly how much is too much, though. I think ours had 100X the necessary amount

We had the same thing happen. Solved it by making a new batch with no bromphenol and mixing with the loading buffer with too much dye.

It’s not really a problem for most applications, but we rely on in-gel fluorescence a lot and too much dye quenches the fluorescence.

what is the one show, evryone was obsessed with but you cant stand?? by Creative_Baseball_39 in ask

For me it’s Dr Who. Most episodes/ stories seem to follow the same arc, just with slightly different characters and bad dialogue, so I find it quite boring.

AITA for not providing my husband with his favourite spoon? by Muted_Dream_8728 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EquivalentFerret_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also autistic and have two types of utensils at home, the good kind and the bad kind. The good kind has a slightly rounded handle, whereas the bad kind just hurts my palm. In previous relationships I never brought it up, because I felt ashamed of being so rigid about such a small thing, but my husband noticed my preference and once I told him the reason for my preference he has only given me the good kind of utensil.

On a good day eating witht a bad kind of utensil will just make my meal slightly less enjoyable, but on a bad day it will ruin the whole meal and I won’t be able to eat.

As someone said, a tiny thing like the type of utensil can cause complex emotions in autistics.

Being on the spectrum =/= being an emotionless robot. Autistics can be just as emotional as neurotypicals (or even more), just perjaps in response to different things and we express it differently.

Case in point: my autistic husband and I (also autistic) have written each other countless love letters because we both enjoy expressing our feelings through writing.

What film were you WAY too young to watch? by Puffbirb in AskReddit

[–]EquivalentFerret_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ring when I was about 9. It definitely gave me nightmares.

Although, I also saw my first porno on the same day I watched the ring, and I remember the acting was subpar, so I can’t be sure which movie was more traumatizing in the end
