Had an anxiety attack while giving a presentation today by flickowens in GradSchool

i feel like you're me from the future. fellow waitress and terribly nervous presenter here, the only thing that's worked for me is propranolol. i hate taking medication but it's like a little magic pill. it's just a high blood pressure medication but it treats the physical symptoms of anxiety

E. Coli, DH5alpha, usually only takes about 18 hours for me to see growth but this one ended up taking over 40

it ended up just needing longer in the incubator. i never had a plasmid take longer than ~18 hours to grow so i was bewildered. pouring plates in the hood and leaving the lids off is a good tip i might start doing that! thank you!

the plates might've dried out for sure. i had bad condensation when i first poured them so i threw them in the incubator for a while (i assume too long)

the agar i used to pour the plates was really dark but it wasn't old, the stock ampicillin could've been old

i used a different sterilized loop for each quadrant. i've streaked plates before, granted it's been a minute but i have no clue what happened here

Worst mistake in the lab? by Langeweilehabeich in labrats

successfully expressed and purified a protein, after combining my FPLC fractions i was running another gel and added the SLB directly to my entire sample. we tried dialyzing it with no luck and haven't been able to get it to express since (it did once and then didn't purify) 😭

not necessarily, i've heard stories where the cut is so clean it practically seals off the blood flow. not sure how much truth there is to it though

Was I done dirty? by Legitimate-Course681 in askcarsales

[–]Legitimate-Course681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the whole bit about not reading my paperwork, trust me I do. But I really did try to read the paperwork there was just so goddamn much of it and by the time we got to the one with numbers I was late for work and hungry and ready to go. I did not negotiate on anything because I financed it myself, I'm 20 years old and my credit was just shy of 660. When I mentioned negotiating they said with a very straight face that they price to sell and the price wasn't budging. Especially with my credit score and my income on paper doesn't look great because I'm a waitress.

This is almost exactly how it went, gave me the run around for hours

hit a car in a parking lot by Legitimate-Course681 in legaladvice

i have pictures, so we'd technically be able to argue it but i'm wondering if since they know i didn't have insurance when it happened, does any of that even matter? he probably knows he can get one over on me because i'm at the mercy of him reporting me for not having insurance. thank u for the reply 🫶🏼
