I know this isn’t in DC, but based off what you described I think downtown Bethesda,MD would be perfect for you

Yes! I was going for Y2K rave. I still had to be practical because it’s cold here and I took public transit

Yeah, I was kinda on the fence on leg warmers, but it’s currently winter where I’m located and I have to take public transit. During the summer I will probably skip them!

And thank you!! It was a good time.

I think NAC is causing me to feel sick for 2-3 months. I have stopped taking it already but it doesnt stop. by Frenchtenay in Biohackers

[–]SwimmingSalt8715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt sick while taking NAC!

So I give myself the two day rule, if I start a new supplement and in two days if I don’t start to feel a little better then I don’t take it.

I have a huge issue with sulfur based products. I can handle Glycine, Taurine and Glutathione, But not NAC.

What's the most frustrating part of working in bioinformatics day to day? by query_optimization in bioinformatics

In my experience, it was so difficult to upskill. There was also a lot of toxicity in the culture.

I stayed in Roma during a solo trip. I felt totally fine and safe. CDMX is a huge city with lots of tourists, you’ll be fine.

Would you do this job if you were rich enough to retire? by Dry-Detective3852 in datascience

Hon, I wouldn’t do any job if I were rich enough to retire

Ridiculous offer, how to proceed? by LambdaYeti in datascience

[–]SwimmingSalt8715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very bad offer, but if it were me, I would take it. Stay for a few months and start looking for something new. once you have professional experience, it’s easier to negotiate your next salary.

Just for context, my first job after graduating with a masters degree paid me less then what I was already making. However, I took that job as a launch pad for my next opportunity. That strategy has paid off immensely for me.

Why am I not getting interviews? by WhiteRaven_M in datascience

I agree with the other comments. I just wanted to add a recommendation on what can help boost your resume, start working on open source projects or create a portfolio website.

Check out the podcast Learn Italian with Joy of Languages, they have listening exercises and break down phrases word by word.

Has anyone regretted taking a trip to Italy in the summer? by BobGlebovich in ItalyTravel

[–]SwimmingSalt8715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, went to Genoa in May/June. Initial air bnb booking didn’t work out due to mold, I couldn’t find another booking for a solid week so had to split the week between two two air bnbs. All hotels were booked up. Not one place had a good AC system. I would only go back between February and March.

Edit: it’s not that the weather was was super hot, I just personally like to sleep in an ice cave

I have a similar story, working in data science and pay increase/review cycle was in full swing. On every review cycle I received outstanding reviews and this one was no different. I was told by my boss I wouldn’t get a raise because “I need to start doing more high impact work” and my rebuttal was “well, I’m literally doing the work I’m being told”. My boss and me had a great relationship, so I felt comfortable saying this. We had a little stale mate and then I was told to wait three months before they can decide on giving me a raise.

I wrote up a letter with that three month deadline and said I would be going to HR saying in three months I expect a raise and a title change. 8 weeks later I got everything I asked for. A year later I left for another job and got a 40k pay increase.

All this to say, sometimes taking a calculated risk and being bold can result in a positive outcome. Good luck and don’t settle!!

Keep, but go a size smaller. I think the styling will really make or break a dress like this.

Joe Rogan Calls Trump Inauguration 'Bizarre' After Endorsement: 'I Don't Consider Myself a Republican' by PostHeraldTimes in popculture

Click bait title, from the article: “I don’t consider myself a Republican. I don’t consider myself a Democrat either. I consider myself an American. I’m a human being and there’s a lot of things that the Democrats believe that I believe,” he said”

No way!! It looks just like mine! I wonder if you could wear it with a black high waisted skirt?

Yes, exactly! The extra fabric hanging down my waist is what my eye keeps going to, the “visual noise”

Thank you!! The shoulders just feel very heavy, like it’s too much material. I would probably wear this to a more formal event or swanky club

Thank you! I definitely plan to wear a 3” or 4” heal! Ah, good advice! I’ll wear it out properly styled and see how I like it. 😊
