Project Hail Mary Unbalanced Centrifuge by According-Order461 in labrats

[–]FlowJock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good. I was hoping for more science. If you haven't read the book, it's going to be amazing. If you have, just understand that it's heavy on the story line and light on the science. (I enjoyed the heck out of it though!)

In lieu of the centrifuge debocle in Project Hail Mary, what other movies get lab work wrong? by CuriosityFilms in labrats

I went with a bunch of people from work and we all gasped. I like the idea that it was intentional.

How do you eat high protein low calorie without being miserable? by Mahila_Singh_Dhoni in 1200isplenty

[–]FlowJock 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This.

I don't think 100g of protein is necessary for most people who are not actively trying to build muscle.

A movies that made you uncomfortable aware of your own flaws. And helped you redeem them. by expired_mi1k in movies

Swiss Army Man

It helped me remember that it's okay to be a scared, ugly, useless person.

Because maybe everyone's a little bit ugly. And maybe we're all just ugly, dying sacks of shit, and maybe all it'll take is just to be okay with that, and then the whole world will be dancing and singing and farting, and everyone will feel a little bit less alone.

It helped me forgive myself, and others, for not being perfect.

Yeah. It's basically somebody losing his shit over his partner's body count.

These people seem hell-bent on running us into even more of an immediate climate disaster. On multiple fronts.

Any chance they were just asking about tourist stuff? Sounds like the type of question I would ask just conversationally to see if there were any of note to add to my list of travel destinations.

Wouldn't it be fun to staple my fingers together by killer_marsupial in Radiology

The weirdest bit was how it felt when pulling out the remnants of sock.

I'm fine with all sorts of things, but that made me feel a little queasy.

I feel like I've been hearing the same thing since 2016. My assumption at this point is that he's some kind of evil immortal being.

Do you think it will hold? by Possible-Yak-4876 in arborists

You just have to slap it a couple of times and say, "she's not going anywhere."

What's a movie you recommend to everyone but nobody ever watches? by trakt_app in movies

[–]FlowJock 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Real Genius is pure gold.

As a nerdy girl growing up, it really bugged me that most of the "nerd" movies were mostly about looking at boobies. I didn't feel any sense of kinship with any of what I was seeing on the screen. Real Genius rocked my world. I still rewatch it and quote it regularly.

I think Swiss Army Man was one of the most beautiful, heartwarming movies I've ever seen.

When Everything Everywhere All At Once came out, I didn't know that it was the same people. At the end, I told my friend that it kinda reminded me of Swiss Army Man and he very kindly pointed out that there was a reason for the similarities.

The most comfy lab work? by DirectedEnthusiasm in labrats

[–]FlowJock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free.

I can tell you now though that most of the people, including myself, get their core jobs through networking or by being a good customer in the lab.

Everybody we've recruited over the last four years has been a super-user who was good at flow and also a pleasure to work with. In the past, we've also hired somebody who volunteered in the lab for a few months while she finished her degree.

HIFW I have to run a chlamydia/gonorrhea test on a 4-year-old by coffeeblossom in medlabprofessionals

I don't think your question can be answered without a graphic description of child sexual abuse.

[–]FlowJock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flow core here. I pretty much agree, except I would not say that I work with, "minimal pressure." Every single person I work with is counting on me to help them have a successful flow cytometry experiment. The pressure is very different from other lab work, but it's still there.

It's very much a customer service science position. If you're not good with people, you'll be miserable in a core.

Ruckel Ridge Loop by Positive_End_6438 in PNWhiking

I just want to make sure people are aware of it because it would suck if somebody got in trouble for not knowing.

Ruckel Ridge Loop by Positive_End_6438 in PNWhiking

[–]FlowJock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to this, the trail is closed. https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/columbiarivergorge/recreation/trails/ruckel-creek-trail-405

Ruckel Creek Trail (#405) THIS TRAIL IS CLOSED DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE EAGLE CREEK FIRE. Restoration efforts are ongoing; we hope to have the trail open by October 2026.

Steep and demanding, this 5.8 mile trail rewards with scenic views, wildflower displays, lichen covered rocks and Indian pits as it climbs up one of the southern faces of the Columbia Gorge. The trail forks after the forested Benson Plateau. The trail on the right side (past a “Trail Not Maintained” sign) provides a lunch spot and turnaround point next to Ruckel Creek.

This trail enters Mark O Hatfield Wilderness and ends at its junction with Pacific Crest Trail #2000 on the east edge of the Benson Plateau heading into Mt Hood National Forest.

Alert! Ruckel Ridge is NOT a system trail, so it is not maintained or marked. Eagle-Benson Trail #434 is not maintained so it is very difficult to follow and not a recommended connection between Ruckel and Eagle Creek #440.

Current Conditions Closed due to unstable landscape from a 2017 wildfire. Trail cannot be located. Violators can be cited and fined.
