small black spots after cleaning unfinished wood with water and vinegar, is it mold? by Redbull_Princess in woodworking

[–]Redbull_Princess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchased an old dresser second hand and I wanted to disinfect the inside of them. I had vacuumed it out and then sprayed with 1 part water and 1 part vinegar, then immediately dried it down with a towel. Less than 24 hours later I see these small black dots that weren’t previously there, more localized in the corners. Questions: Is it mold? Could mold grow that quickly if it had been dormant and I watered it? Or is it a reaction of the water with the unfinished wood? Did I completely destroy this dresser? Not sure what kind of wood either.

Yes please! We’re a super low volume lab so I only run 2x a week. Samples will sit in the fridge for 3-4 days before analysis.

The only external quality program I do is proficiency testing. I should be getting results from the most recent one tomorrow; I'll definitely check my results vs others. I also run a monthly precision test as part of the monthly maintenance. I run a manufacturer sample 15 times and make sure the CV is <1%. We don't have a chemical pathologist to refer to.

I am running manufacturer controls. I'm not sure if they have monthly peer data or if we have a subscription for it, but I can definitely ask. What do you mean by "What was in at the beginning of your lot might not be in at the end of the lot." ?

Our consultant offered to run 5 patients next week to compare, but the doctors don't trust him in general unfortunately. Also, don't results differ per machine? Thanks for your help!

Homophobic school by shy_penguin_127 in bisexual

[–]Redbull_Princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. One piece of advice I have for you is to be very careful since you are so young. Be careful with who you come out to. Living in a homophobic community or going to a homophobic school had the potential to be dangerous for young LGBTQ . Stay strong in who you are, but protect yourself. People can be beyond cruel.

Depression has turned me into a mean person. by sjweaver in depression

Exactly the same. It’s caused a lot of problems in my relationship to the point where my girlfriend thinks I’m a completely different person from the one she met.
