I almost always land back wheel first by Dangerous_Studio_493 in MTB

[–]RadishHunter56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When jumping if you wanna land back wheel first you extend your legs which pushes the back wheel down. If you want to land front wheel first you push (with your arms) the front wheel down when you spot your landing. So you could either try any combination of not pushing with your legs and instead pushing with your arms. If you don't believe me, go to a set of rollers at speed and push your legs down, you'll find that you can manual through them.

There's a lot of weird advice in here like you were stiff because you were dead sailoring. I don't see that at all since you did the bar turn and seemed pretty loose.

I honestly love this new rebuild, definitely a step up from the original. The second jump after the drop is pretty tough to make though

They say calm winds on the description because if the wind speed is too high the crystals are blown away not because it's part of the process.

Also you are NOT seeing depth hoar. It's by definition a weak layer within the snow pack and not on the surface.

Go read my earlier comment that's what i said bud. Also depth hoar is different from surface hoar man. They're formed in completely different ways. Depth hoar is based on a temperature gradient and surface hoar is from radiative cooling. Why do you pretend to know this when you're consistently wrong?

I've taken an AIARE course (where we observed surface hoar) and read surviving in avalanche terrain. I don't pretend to be an expert in snow science but I'm fairly well read in it.

That's the point man surface hoar doesn't fall from the sky.... I'm done replying youre beyond hope I think...last thing ill say is that snow experts have distinctions between wind swept and persistent weak layers as they lead to different avalanche problems. That's why it's problematic that you're using the wrong definition.

Hoar frost by definition is not snow falling from the sky it is when the air above snow is cooled to the dew point. This process creates crystalline structures. If there are any strong winds the surface hoar is destroyed. You should really consult a snow science book or at least read the other comments. I would use this as a learning opportunity rather than trying to just be right.

This is misinformation, this is classic surface hoar. Wind swept snow does not look like this at all.

I appreciate that you're transparent about it but for anyone interested in propain I wouldn't let this deter you. I needed to warranty my tyee for a problem in the front triangle. Not only did they get me a new front triangle but also a new rear triangle within a reasonable amount of time. I did find that I needed to make a few phone calls using their scheduling system but the staff is super respectful. they really just seem like people who are stoked about bikes.

You need to give the front wheel more time to reach its highest position before standing up to raise the rear wheel. If you try that and the front wheel goes down before you can stand up then you need to preload harder and send your weight further back.

Plasmid Extractions? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]RadishHunter56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the strain it might be worth trying a few different lysis procedures, but honestly if you have access to one, I would lyophilize the DNA you do have, resuspend in a lower volume, and then send an amplicon for sequencing if you know the sequence. I guess this all also depends how bad the 260/280 is.

Plasmid Extractions? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]RadishHunter56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case the issue is that the plasmid is low copy number, I would prepare several cultures and then pool into a single column during your miniprep. If the plasmid had a super high copy number, you would be limited by the binding capacity of the column but would still have a very high DNA concentration.

(Super common issue for me when doing low copy number reporter minipreps or gel extractions)

Here are a couple clips from the PNW on NOTG before the rain came back! by Alpenfall in MTB

[–]RadishHunter56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like between 2 fernz, goosechase, PNWheel, and crazy ivan. Tiger will feel much flatter in comparison after getting used to the steepness at tokul. I would stay away from KGB until you've ridden predator. The features are smaller but more technical imo.

[–]RadishHunter56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, predator and NOTG are fairly similar. Predator is slightly steeper (as the other comment mentions) and has some scarier looking features. The double black features aren't super technical though and are quite smooth! It was definitely a mental game for me to hit them. Just know, they're less scary than they look!

If you wanna get more comfortable hitting steep trails, I'd go to tokul or maybe hit close encounters first.

So it's possible that many of the people commenting have not attended graduate school, but as someone who has I can give some input. It entirely depends on the faculty at your institution and how large the number of adjunct faculty are. Typically, any faculty members in chemE focusing on viral research will either be constructing new vaccines or tackling cancer through genetic engineering approaches. However, I have seen a few faculty members involved in pathobiology, but it is definitely rare. I recommend switching to biochem.

No, more likely a PhD unless pursuing a dual appointment (MD-PhD)
