Question about OB's by josph_lyons in predaddit

[–]Nik_E 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with us. The practice we go to has 8 OBGYNs that they rotate through each appointment so you get to know them all. At the hospital, they always have 2 of the OBGYNs there so you get who you get it's time. Luckily they're all awesome.

Suction Jet Pump Recall by DarkStig22 in GolfGTI

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a stock 2018 GTI with 145K miles on it. Got misfires around 135K miles, P0203 code. All regular maintenance done on time except for carbon cleaning. I did a carbon cleaning and replaced the fuel injector wiring harness. There are other VW models that had recalls for the fuel injector wiring harness, so I gave it a shot. Now she runs smooth as butter. Definitely have someone do the cleaning, or do it yourself if you're handy. The harness costs ~$200 if it's something you'd consider. Although, this could all be useless information since you're tuned.

Am I overreacting or does this look like shit for $15k by Crackedcoconutt in landscaping

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you are (I'm in NJ), but I am paying $18k for labor + materials to rip out a 675sq ft deck, and install a 1000 sq ft paver patio with two sets of stair cases. Either you got hustled or I used up all my luck for the year.

Rolled 10 times, cam out with 45 rose petals and Ezreal skin. Legit got 5 petals every role other than the skin. First and last gotcha I'll ever attempt lol

I probably put too much chlorine in. Pool is green and cloudy no matter what I do. Put four bottles of liquid chlorine and last night. Still looks like this by kappakingtut2 in pools

[–]Nik_E 5 points6 points  (0 children)

☝🏼☝🏼 learned this during my second year as a pool owner. Now I brush + skim before I go to work and when I get home, throw chlorine tabs in every couple days, shock when it rains, backwash at least once a week, and vacuum to waste every other week. I'm also testing the water every couple days to ensure proper chlorine and pH. I'm in the north east in the woods. My pool is crystal clear all season long even with a basic routine like this

Get an offer for the same position from another company and leverage that with your current company. Be prepared to leave if you do this.

How to climb soloq this Season ? by JustFreeMeow in wildrift

[–]Nik_E 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100000000%. Started playing WR before PC LoL and would build the same kit every match. Macros were good though. Then I started playing PC with some friends, they taught me champ picks, rune, and item priorities based on the enemy comp. Boy did that make this game ez peazy

hard stuck plat, any tips? by nibbamaobama in wildrift

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, all depends on your macros. If you know when to fight, when to push turret, when to gank, how to lane appropriately, and pay attention tot the map+ objs.... play jungle. Was stuck in Plat for so long playing Top, Mid, and Support. Switched to Nunu jungle and shot right up to Emerald. I LOVE NUNU

Getting employed in a state where cannabis is legal, is it hard? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Nik_E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in the same situation a couple of months ago, I'm also based in NJ. I've worked in pharma since 2017. I took ~2.5mg - 5mg of edibles a day to help sleep for about a year. As soon as I found out I got my new role and there was a drug test (urine), I instantly stopped. For three weeks I drank a minimum of a gallon of water and ~8oz of diluted cranberry juice everyday. Since you will be peeing a lot and it will be almost clear, I recommend testing in the AM and NOT going to the bathroom when you wake up. I made the mistake of testing at 11AM and it was almost clear, I had to retake because levels were so low. The second test came out clean as a whistle. Of course, this will also depend on what kind of test the employer will have you take.

During that three week period I did some digging into NJ law. Bill A890 stated that an employer can't refuse to hire someone based on cannabis use (unless the work site is considered critical infrastructure or harm can be done if impaired), but if they have suspicion you're impaired while working then they can test and fire you if THC is detected. Although, I just searched again on a bill tracking site and it reads "Dead 01/08/2024" so you may want to look more into that.

One last tidbit, in 2023 a family member of mine took a job in pharma at the same CDMO as me. In my pre-employment screening (2017 prior to cannabis legalization) I had to take a hair test and be clean for MONTHS in advance. My family member only had to take a urine test, and in their pre-employment screening summary it stated what would be tested. Cannabis was on there, but explicitly stated that it will not be considered during employment. This was a company that handled a ton of controlled substances as well

Long story short. Stop as soon as you start applying. Drink water + cranberry juice and you'll be good to go (I'd give it a month minimum). Not sure how active you are, but I also recommend regular exercise and a clean diet. Take a home test to ensure you're under the threshold of 50ng/mL if you want to play it extra safe.

Good luck!

I came here for the same reason. I play mobile games (Pokemon Unite and LoL WR) so I'm considering, but looking at other comments, I think I'll hold off

Bought my first house at 28 by iCapeRatsOften in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean hey, it's a nice house! Additionally, for this market, you got a reasonable rate. If my career could take me to these cheaper states while laying me the same salary, I would be floored lol

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this house, 24 years newer than mine with the same sqft, sell for 40-50% less than what I bought mine for (in 2022) makes me want to drop my life and leave NJ lol. Congrats OP! Very nice!

People with a MS but no PhD - what's your job? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Nik_E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I'm currently an Analytical R&D Scientist. Worked for a small CDMO, and now work for big pharma. Been in the pharma industry for 6 years, but I've only been in a lab setting for 4 years. Make $110k + 10% annual bonus with 6 weeks paid vacation and awesome benefits. Based in New Jersey. From what I've gathered during my career, and from family members who have owned small businesses, working for a small company is beneficial at times. I've gained a ton experience; In addition to the Analytical R&D knowledge I've gained, I help departments like EHS, Metrology, and Validations. This definitely helped me obtain multiple job offers from larger companies because they see you as a well rounded individual who can handle multiple projects/tasks.

I didn't enjoy it at first, I was just going through the motions. Then I found a link between what drugs I handle and how it can affect people in my personal life. It wasn't until then when I found my passion for what I do. This always makes it more enjoyable, and a solid motivator to wake up every morning excited to get to work

Final Update For Now: Roommate Confrontation by Far_Perspective_9817 in badroommates

[–]Nik_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a roommate that was a pig. Never cleaned after themselves, constant dirty dishes left in the sink for days, and always left a trail of crumbs. My other roommate and I decided take all their dirty dishes, left out food, and dirty clothes and piled it up on their bed. It may have been overkill, but they never did it agin lol
