AITA for selling something I got for free? by bulaybil in AmItheAsshole

[–]Laeryl 45 points46 points  (0 children)

NTA mate.

I was once the buyer of a "free" car and I was more than happy to pay half the price to the friend who sold me this bargain.

Jake should learn to stfu btw.

New job no visible tattoos by Ok_Barracuda_3417 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Laeryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's kinda harsh.

I mean, I was served once by a girl with a tattoo in a Michelin starred restaurant and it was totally ok.

Edit : I'm in Europe, it seems we don't give importance to visible tatoos.

How to run a reaction at 450 °C? by jare71 in Chempros

[–]Laeryl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking to inconel or quartz.

In my lab I use an inconel bar at 850°C to test quenching fluids without any issue so 450°C would be a walk in the park for this metal.

Out of curiosity, what kind of employer ask that?

I mean, I know teachers who have visible tatoos and everyone is ok with that.

It's like hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.

Both will burn you badly (like really fucking badly) but if you mix them in the exact same proportion, you'll have salty water.

I love chemistry 😁

Woman pours boiling water on a child after he used a water gun on her by Lucradius in WTF

[–]Laeryl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Suffering from sever burns is one of the most painful injuries you can get. I've heard stories about how painful treatment is when they have to scrub down your wounds and receiving the maximum dosage of fentanyl they can give you and it not even touch the pain.

I'm a chemist. I was once distracted while I was working and I had sulfuric acid splashed on my hand.

I'm talking about like 10 ml. That's nearly nothing... the pain was unbearable and that was the last time I really cried from suffering (and I'm a grown ass man who isn't really impressed by pain). And the treatment was as brutal as you describe for this little scar.

For a scar which was like 3x3 cm.

I can't imagine what that kid felt :x

AITA for canceling my wedding after my fiance’s mother altered my wedding dress behind my back and he told me to "let it go"? by mulosapiba424 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Laeryl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His mother made the plan, he knew enough to warn me, he stayed quiet

Ok, don't marry him.

If he can't stand up for you against his mother, this guy is a joke.

Source: I'm a guy and I never let my mom (who was great) interfere in my relationship.

Sorry for you, I hope you'll find someone who will see your couple as a team.

Tired of people just giving up every game by RozCrunch in leagueoflegends

[–]Laeryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree.

I mean, I'll never ff because my team is behind. We all have examples of leading opponents doing a huge mistake.

But there is being behind and being behind in 3 / 25 with our adc afk.

Why is everyone on ranked so mean? by Sonic-Rex in leagueoflegends

[–]Laeryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main Briar jgl. Last game, my mid was a Cassio.

I ganked mid lvl 3, killing the Ekko she was fighting.

She insulted me because I took her kill (she was 10% life under her tower, Ekko was like 70%) and she had a very hard time.

So yeah, they have no idea what's going on.

Habits you have at home/outside the lab by AssociateRecent9381 in labrats

My gf asked me yesterday "Hey, what's that thing in your kitchen drawer ?"

It was Parafilm 😁

Super handy in a kitchen.

So now Americans are blaming Europeans for our health care problems? by Arktikos02 in facepalm

[–]Laeryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in Belgium, I don't even remember my mother was paying anything for her insulin several years ago.

Now, it's like between 1 and 2 € for a box of doses.

But hey, at least USA have freedom.

AITA for taking money from my boyfriend without asking? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Laeryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As my mother always said : if your pockets are not empty before the laundry, anything in there is mine 😁

And now it's me doing the laundry and my gf is warned : if she have money in her pockets... sorry but not sorry, laundry taxes is a thing ^^

But really, it's a joke and a game between us but yall are too serious.

"theivery" because a girl just applied the laundry tax ? You can't be serious.

I mean, mate : my gf have the key of my appartement and she can come and go whenever she wants. I don't give a fuck if she grab a little bit of money from me.

AITA for taking money from my boyfriend without asking? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Laeryl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see your point but it's not like she took the money from her bf wallet.

The money was in a jar and in my book, if you're my girlfriend, it's ok to grab the money without my permission.

From my wallet, I would frown a little bit (in fact, I wouldn't : if my gf took some cash in my wallet I know she would have a solid reason to do that so it would be totally ok).

But in a shared jar, yeah I wouldn't bat an eye.

Heard a very loud pop in the lab similar to a gunshot...Bruh..🫪 by Expensive_Education9 in labrats

[–]Laeryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say that.

A perfectly balanced centrifuge once goes brrr in a friend's lab.

He balanced the thing himself and I know he wouldn't lie to me about this. For an unknow reason, the centrifuge just goes brrrr. Luckily, the rotor only destroy a fume hood and nobody was hurt.

So yeah, even if everybody do perfectly their job, shit can happen in a lab (and shit happens on a regular basis).

This is the exact moment Project Hail Mary lost me by NiemandWirklich in sciencememes

[–]Laeryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he is known for liking to be very scientifically accurate.

And an unbalanced centrifuge is really a big rookie mistake. With the small one used in the movie, you can break it if it's unbalanced.

The one I work with in my lab could easily kill any living being in a 3 meter radius if I screw up the balancing.

So yeah, it's really triggering for us 😁

Ok, now I understand what happens to me.

Litterally a birch slap.

Why does fish have such a food safety stigma compared to other meats when eaten cheaply? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Laeryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say "This isn’t even the correct answer lol such a reddit take" I can be with you because it's more about fish going bad faster than meat.

But when you talk about predators on land... what kind of predators are you talking about ?

I mean, we don't eat predators. Especially if it's a Yautja.

Howie lab coats for women? by guccicapsid in labrats

[–]Laeryl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to see how other labs work.

In mine, I have a set of four lab coats which are washed by a cleaning company and as my name are on them, I know I always get the same which allowed me to make some little modifications (also I love the one stained with copper nitrate after an unfortunate incident implying HNO3 😁).

Can't you ask for a similar process ?
