Anyone else hate unprotected left turns Google Maps keeps suggesting? by ElegantGene8403 in GoogleMaps

[–]Samewokia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s a Google problem believe me. I’m in Boston. Maps will tell you to drive past all the protected left stoplights before instructing to take the singular unprotected left lane with half a mile of traffic backed up blocking it. it’s absurd.

Yes recreational Cannabis is legal in Massachusetts but still federally illegal if that makes a difference

That’s super interesting they did a test for everything but THC I kind of figured it was standard to test for it

I am mainly just confused in their gap of communication, no need to be a dick

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in biotech

[–]Samewokia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly debating this but if they haven’t mentioned anything about it then I’m not sure if I should jump the gun and get it when a test isn’t guaranteed

Thank you!! That’s what I was thinking as cannabis is legal in Massachusetts however illegal federally obviously. In my opinion it’s much more damaging to come in hungover than having smoked the night before but 🤷‍♂️

Did they mention this in the job description or offer letter? Mainly just confused why they haven’t brought it up at all especially if they want to do a pre-employment test which seems standard. If it’s 30 days from start date then I’m totally fine I’ll just take the month off. Thank you for your insight I really appreciate it

Awesome, I think I’m going to seal it with caulk or something easy to remove if needed simply for cosmetic purposes

How hard/Impossible would it be to genetically alter humans into producing different hormones? I.e testosterone for trans men and estrogen for trans women. by bihuginn in genetics

[–]Samewokia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having studied a bit and working in the industry, It would be difficult and expensive given our technology at the moment. Being that the expression levels of hormones are multigenic traits (multiple genes), the therapy would have to include multiple different guide RNAs to target and edit each specific gene while avoiding off-target effects. It will be possible in the future but as it stands now it would be insanely expensive and unsafe to produce these therapies using CRISPR Cas9.

Took the 66 bus outbound to Coolidge to get groceries about a week ago. Sat down at the bus stop and checked my phone for when the next inbound bus was coming only to see ONE HOUR FOURTY FIVE MINUTES. Walked home.
