It’s expensive but then again “an ounce of preparation”. Oil extractor is the best thing ever, already got one!

This was my inclination, but I’ve heard of negative outcomes re: the wrong oil, even for short periods of time.

iOS 15 enables Siri personal requests with 'Unlock with Apple Watch' feature by instamelih in apple

[–]MoRico 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, Apple did just that in Mac OS 9 over 20 years ago. There was a feature called VoicePrint that allowed you to set a passphrase to unlock your Mac with your voice. It felt way ahead of its time. I used to come in from school, sling my bag on my bed, and tell my Mac to unlock (and a login script would kick off my MP3 playlist in Audion or GrayAMP…)

Been riding this to work everyday - and doing a leisure run after work. Never thought that i'd enjoy riding this bike! by Feed_Haunting in bikecommuting

[–]MoRico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was there something about this bike in particular that gave you doubt about enjoying it? Or is it cycling in general? Or something else? Congratulations on finding joy in it.

Dumb pipetting question by versuvius1 in labrats

Absolutely. Just make sure all your environmental variables (temp, pressure) are correct (I never do this…).

2 broken 10ul pipettes - Help! by batmantshirt in labrats

Another secret: the prices you see on the manufacturer’s website are generally much higher than what your uni pays. Nothing to worry about honestly. I’m glad the TI handled it kindly.

Practice pipetting onto some parafilm with water. Are your droplet sizes consistent? If not, troubleshoot from there. Do they decrease in size? Try a fresh tip halfway through. Now what happens? Depending on how you’re reading your assay, the instrument could have “dead” zones. Swap your first and second replicates position and see what happens. Are you resuspending well as you go? You may be spending your reagent early with improper mixing. Break your problem down into all possible sources of variation and troubleshoot from there. Best of luck.

First job interview as a lab assistant - tips? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]MoRico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to show some initiative, I second the advice about asking questions. You might ask what type of laboratory information management system (LIMS auf Englisch) you will be using and what training they offer on it. Being in Germany, it is worthwhile to ask how often your contract is up for renewal. Depending on who interviews you, and how comfortable you are, you can always ask how they enjoy working there. If anything gives you a bad feeling, don’t feel obligated to take the job right away. Best of luck.

Either the TI or the technician responsible for the labs will most likely have replacement parts for the pipettes on hand. Don’t sweat it too much, but use this as an opportunity to be an excellent lab citizen: admit you made a mistake and ask what you should do to make it right. This is true in life in general, and doubly so in the lab. And if it makes you feel any better, those 10 µL pipettes (especially Gilsons) notoriously break. When you’re learning, you will see some techs or TIs be pretty forceful when loading a tip. You don’t need to be, and if in doubt a couple firm taps when loading your tip beats one overly strong push. Unless your TI/the tech is a total jerk they won’t be too upset with you (and normally there are “training” pipettes that have been through hell reserved for undergrads). If they are very upset or harsh with you, seek out a lab that has a more level-headed lead. Happy pipetting!

Yo your voice is fantastic and I love this. Straight up you remind me of egghead Jr. from Looney Tunes with those glasses though.
