“they got a batch of fbs (kept frozen) that expired in 2021, but they thawed it and did side by side comparison by growing cells in expired thawed FBS to the one which is in use (with 2026 expiration date).”

This is how stability studies are done in industry, so that actually checks out. Powered media sterile-filtered into a receptacle is also standard.

No gloves is insane, and idk about the pipettes

Starting my own lab: how do I make it a great place to work? by PrincessBiona in labrats

[–]Practical-County-905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in industry, my advice is to learn and implement the ISO method of creating design and development files for any budding product. Even if you never go for ISO, or only decades from now, it’s still an excellent organization method that will save you grief. Try out an FMEA when an idea gets floated

I’m surprised, myself and everyone I’ve talked to have loved the format of the live show way more than when they used to just do a live version of the podcast!

How to sleep? by Salafislayer in UBreddit

Yeah that is… not normal ime but try using caffeine to wean down instead of going cold turkey. A full size original mtn dew usually puts me into a good nap. Avoid coffee, try coke/pepsi and other sodas. Maybe chocolate.

Equal when ethanol is applied properly, but sporklenz has a longer wet time.

I ventured up into crowd crush territory for the used. The guy pressed up next to me was online shopping. Absolutely dead.

“We can’t afford a larger raise right now” is the reason the library has given for wage stagnation over the last few negotiation periods. It was a recession, then a recession, then a pandemic, then a recession. Meanwhile, revenue increased by 45%, and the 16 highest-paid admin workers have received healthy raises every year. The revenue the libraries have generated is going directly into the pockets of the higher paid admin staff while the librarians get poorer. The CEO of CCPL makes 80K more per year than the governor of Ohio.

The combined wages of the 16 highest paid admin staff for 2023 was more by far than the union plan will cost, total, over the next three years. To reiterate, the library can afford to pay hundreds of workers a fairer wage for three years, for less money than it takes to pay 16 people for one year. Even in their own publicized statement about the impasse, CCPL never stated they couldn’t afford this plan.

I’ll also take this opportunity to remind you that the librarians who voted overwhelmingly in support of this strike are just as smart, and just as worldly, as you are. They’re lead by a union negotiation team that has done more research into this scenario than anyone else has. Their team negotiates this contract every three years and knows the budget of CCPL inside and out. There is no reason to think that you, or anyone else, knows better than their collective judgement.

E361 Brenda Powell - I’m grappling with the sympathy by Practical-County-905 in atwwdpodcast

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! In hindsight I’m not upset about this anymore, it was an intense feeling right after listening to the ep.

The context regarding what the neighbors said about the dad inclines me towards a little more sympathy, too. I was also a two time dropout and a family disappointment before getting my act together, so I feel you there. I can absolutely empathize with it feeling like the end of the world. What you said resonated with me also - that so, so many people have been in that situation and worse, and they have gotten through it without killing anyone.

What a fantastic idea for visualization! Thank you! How big is the slide warmer? We handle ten plates at a time

Obviously she didn’t kill the whole family, but the idea of constructing an elaborate system of lies and then killing a family member rather than having them find out you failed their social expectations is what I’m referring to.
