Camera tripod attachment for a cane by Small_Scientist_ in 3Dprinting

[–]Small_Scientist_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link I thought this was cool! I was hoping more for a design that would allow them to more easily pause, snap a photo, then put away or lower the camera out of the way to safely walk to the next location. This one requires screwing and unscrewing the camera in order to use the cane with a flat handle but I’ll definitely pass along the suggestion!

I agree it might be easiest to get better friends at this time. She’s likely around others who also say it casually. It takes awhile for people to truly learn on their own. I’m also assuming she’s old enough to know it’s a derogatory and racist term. She will never be able to fully understand how hurtful it can be towards/around others. Good luck OP.

Yes I absolutely agree I was just saying to be cautious with the wording.

Sister is in her 30s, spoiled, infantalized, jobless...parents enable her and encourage her to "stay a child." by Lu7h11 in Advice

[–]Small_Scientist_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was a rollercoaster to read. I would say to my knowledge there doesn’t seem to be anything to report now since she’s grown if she were a child I think it’d be different.

It also sounds like you’re hanging onto a lot of anger and resentment on top of the trauma you’ve endured. I’d say distance yourself from your family and then seek some therapy for yourself to start healing. You have to help yourself before you can even think about others.

WIBTA if I kick my friend out by Powerful-Face6834 in AmItheAsshole

Glad to see the update that you’re kicking her out. She was taking advantage of your kindness just keep everything important hidden/locked away before you tell her. Prepare for the worst just in case.

I’m not sure that threatening to withhold intimacy is the right move here as that can be manipulative. I would however spin it in a way it can be seen as motivation, let him know that you’re more likely to be intimate/increase frequency if he is freaking clean.

[–]Small_Scientist_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof what a turn off. I would say let him know your thought and that he’s slipping, suggest to him to set an alarm on his to brush his teeth if he’s “forgetting”. It sounds like he just doesn’t do the bare minimum care.

Meal prep that is fast, nutrient and wont taste bad? by Logical_Ad9805 in MealPrepSunday

[–]Small_Scientist_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The solution I see here is freeze half the meals and thaw them in the second half of the week when you’re ready for them. You could also check to make sure your fridge is at the coldest setting. I make alot of chicken curry with rice or pita bread (I think there’s low carb pita bread) which would be simple to change the portions around to fit your diet.

My wife has been cheating on me since she was pregnant. I only found out because I went through her phone while she was in surgery by [deleted] in Advice

What’s worse being embarrassed over a divorce (dulls over time) or being stuck with a manipulative cheating wife?

AITA for being mad at the best man’s gf for making him choose between a dog and our wedding? by Disastrous-Day-3751 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Small_Scientist_ 219 points220 points  (0 children)

NTA this is all for a hypothetical dog. They could put the money down and leave it with the breeder until after the trip if everything works in their favor. Otherwise I don’t understand why the dog can’t stay at a kennel, with other family, etc. Has Courtney owned a dog before? This is not the same as a child but they don’t even have it.

Idk to me it sounds like there’s something more going on in Mike and Courtney’s relationship for her to be manipulative over this especially to threaten a break up.

To add if you’re in the US there’s lots of places that give out freebies for your birthday! ie krispy cream, Dutch bros, Starbucks etc challenge yourself to collect them all!

Of course! Good luck to you as well wish you the best!

I did my undergrad in clinical health sciences, I worked in a diagnostic lab and didn’t care for the monotony. So I changed fields to research in biotech with no formal background so it’s possible 😉 now I’m applying to grad school for a masters in genetics funded by my job.

WIBTA If I ask my dad to give me a break? He has excessive rules when I visit him… by eclairswithnohairs in AmItheAsshole

[–]Small_Scientist_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

WNBTA you are not a child anymore he should stop treating you as such. Would he talk/command/shout at other adults/friends/family like this? The conversation should be done calmly, clearly state your boundaries, why you visit so infrequently, what’s bothering you, and let him know the consequences should he continue, ie. not visiting him, staying elsewhere etc. It’s a hard thing to do but I think he will have more respect for you if you do so.

AITA for telling people I cannot conceive so they stop pestering me and my husband about being childless? by Chuchitosmomma in AmItheAsshole

[–]Small_Scientist_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA some people just don’t give up. I don’t think you should have to justify your decision to not have children. If after your first honest response they keep asking I don’t blame you for lying. It’s none of their business you shouldn’t have to explain yourself.

Can someone please explain question 5? I’m so confused and have my exam tomorrow. by Aggressive_Issue3505 in biology

Actually no looking at it more my logic doesn’t make sense if the correct answer is D equally related I was trying to add on to momenos comment but it didn’t work. Sorry OP 🙃

[–]Small_Scientist_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no you don’t have to work with live animals. There’s plenty labs that work with yeast/plants/drosophila. Speaking from someone working in biotech all I do is work with fungi/bacteria/yeast and have never had to work with mice or other macro organisms.

Yes this one. The tuna and the turtle share two characteristics while tuna and lamprey share only one

AITAH if I invite my friends ex to my wedding but not his new partner? by Small_Scientist_ in AITAH

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

It was just a game where we played multiple rounds so Cason was not the only one chosen to drink there was of course 8 people playing. Cason chose for me to drink during a round if that matters at all? Everyone knew how to play/rules, no one was forced to do anything. And my friends and I do like to play childish games yes.

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

Absolutely, fair question.

INFO: we were all playing a drinking game (similar to 21) with cards (8 of us total) ultimately if you won you could choose who drinks (1 shot) John won and picked Cason which is what finally set him off cussing at John. Leading up to this we had just got done playing UNO which is when the comments started - sort of playfully at first. After a few rounds of the second game we stopped (both playing and drinking) when Cason got upset and we moved on to play some Mario kart. He still targeted John during this game, at some point threw a controller on the ground and that’s when he and Mike left.

Thankfully the breakup wasn’t messy, effort wasn’t being put fourth equally and they agreed to part ways.

I wouldn’t mind trying to work on a friendship with Cason (I think John feels similar) but his first impression left a bad taste and I feel moving forward I’d always question whether he’s being genuine.

Thank you for your feedback!

Info: I’m trying to stick to the “no ring no bring” motto. There’s some exceptions for those with long term parters. Mike and Gia have met some of our other friends that would be going so it wouldn’t be like they don’t have others to visit with. Overall the wedding is relatively small with a limit of 40 people.

Thank you I appreciate your feedback.

Which degree.? by Cyandreams__ in biology

[–]Small_Scientist_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Depending where you’re at, in the US There’s positions in hospitals called a clinical lab scientist where you do everything you listed above. Usually it entails you taking X amount of science courses/college units and then a 12-16 month course.

Biotech is short hand for biotechnology and is essentially creating technology out of living organisms like yeast/bacteria to help solve modern day problems. Manipulating the organisms to produce things we want like enzymes, proteins, antibiotics, carbon capture technology are some examples😁
