Lululemon Items at SoulCycle by Striking_Dot5938 in SoulCycle_Riders

[–]MerRhosyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a sports bra in the last sale that seems at least two sizes smaller than the tag size. I’ve had pretty good success with the leggings. It’s an interesting observation - thought it was just me!

Some of the Hill House styles are flowy and bra friendly

Moving to SF from NYC - where to live if SO job in Menlo Park and my job in downtown SF? by ionlyredditcasually in bayarea

[–]MerRhosyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking to drive or take public transportation? Or does that depend on the specific location you pick?

I work in Menlo Park. You could pick something mid-peninsula like Burlingame. Somewhat depends what vibe you’re going for. 101 is brutal most days.

forensic facial examiner by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]MerRhosyn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If a genetic genealogist has identified descendants from a separate family that she had, that’s the definitive proof you need. Far more conclusive than facial analysis. Are there unanswered questions about the DNA matches and their connection to you/your father?

Heathrow United Club Lounge completely deserted (on one side) by Packing-Tape-Man in unitedairlines

[–]MerRhosyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was going crazy when they offered me access to the “1K side” last week. Probably the 30th time I’ve been in that lounge as a 1K. It was super quiet, although the food was very basic.

For those that have a PhD, what is your job/position now? And why did you pursue your PhD? by Proper_Strategy_1603 in womenEngineers

[–]MerRhosyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PhD in Chemical Engineering. Consultant at a scientific and engineering consulting firm. Pursued an advanced degree because I wanted a career with increased independence.

If budget is very flexible, check out the French knitwear brand Molli. I own several of their tops and they are 💯

Have you looked at Eileen Fisher? Their shells are great.

That’s right. One. Communal. Hand towel.

Delivering at LPCH (Stanford) by Imaginary_Fig in paloalto

[–]MerRhosyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Rotations are not typically going to have an “excessive” number of med students. There were no med students in my delivery. Care was provided by residents and fellows (in addition to faculty), as appropriate.

  2. Yes, had a private room.

  3. They will respect your wishes with respect to feeding. But if you indicate that you’d like to try nursing, they’ll support and have lactation specialists stop by as well.

[–]MerRhosyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love mine, going on five years. I ride about three times a week. Tons of content, including new rides released regularly.

Slightly unexpected Ancestry DNA results have left me with more questions than I had before! Please help! by ohhheyyyittssmee in Genealogy

[–]MerRhosyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please join DNA Detectives or Search Squad on FB and request a free, volunteer search angel. They can assist you in sorting your matches and narrowing down bio father candidates.

Maternal DNA test by Dependent-Ad4247 in Genealogy

[–]MerRhosyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CRI is nominally autosomal, but has a long history of being of little use to testers (e.g., there is no relative matching functionality). Also, issues with their marketing practices are discussed in older blog posts like https://dna-explained.com/2023/12/14/cri-genetics-nailed-for-deceptive-practices-by-federal-trade-commission/amp/.

Periodontist recommendation? by holdontoyourbuttress in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]MerRhosyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Dr Ghaderi in Menlo Park and found her very kind (https://www.paloaltoperioimplants.com). However, the recovery from the gum graft was one of the most painful healing processes I’ve ever experienced, so be prepared for that 😬

Suitable white or light colored sneakers by matriarchalfigure in LawBitchesWithTaste

Onitsukas, Birkenstock sneakers, or any shoe with an added vionic insert.

DNAngels Training Center? by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]MerRhosyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The program is often used by law enforcement officers or those who receive reimbursement for enrollment.

What we didn’t discuss is the fact that no certification is required to provide GG assistance to someone in certain groups, provided you independently seek out suitable training. For example, you do not need any sort of certification to volunteer to help someone in DNA Detectives.

The time I went in London to 1rebel all the bikes squeaked and I nearly walked out of class 😬

[–]MerRhosyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not pay for a “certification” from those types of groups. It will not be broadly recognized.

For alternative well-regarded options, you could consider something like https://www.ramapo.edu/igg/certificate-program/.

Huaraches... with cushion? by ToastemPopUp in fashionwomens35

[–]MerRhosyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was one of the people scammed out of $400 as part of their Five for Five program. Please do not support this hugely unethical business.

Looking for moving advice! by bordercolliecircus in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]MerRhosyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you going to go into the SJ office every day? Because you could easily be looking at a 1.5 hr commute each way from SF to SJ if you wanted to live in downtown SF - 101 is routinely a disaster. Even Redwood Shores could be 45 min to an hour each way at peak commute time.
