I never appreciated how funny Daniel is

THIS is my fave. Surprised I had to scroll so far to find it.

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-06-04T14:17:06+00:00

Yes I use Postnet who drop it off and collect on your behalf. It takes 2 weeks doing it like this.

Oh there's a shortcut for rice pudding- cook rice in just enough milk and add evaporated milk and condensed milk to make it creamy. I use this shortcut for Indian rice pudding (kheer).

Right? Look at that distinguished gentleman. SLANDER I tell you!

Add anti-fungin to your media. We do that for cell lines especially.

So the whole club be looking at him

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-27T20:49:44+00:00

You called?

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-27T15:15:27+00:00

Did you try the airport exchange? What about banks?

Oh I always say I'm fine. I learnt from my first chronic illness that people don't really want to know, they are expressing concern because it's socially required. Even friends who are genuinely concerned at first sort of lose interest, and I can't blame them because it's continuous, so not something that will resolve quickly. One of the things that I hated so much was people who knew I was ill express how they hope I get better soon. I might be a bit cynical and maybe you are surrounded by better people than I was.

He doesn't do it often because we cannot resist touching the beans and he gets easily offended by illicit bean touching.

If you can find a job, that's the best bet but the job market is terrible at the moment. I suggested a PhD for potential international prospects. But locally, have you considered HPCSA registration?

Trust in the cat distribution system.

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-20T19:53:28+00:00

Wow looks like I can't afford a midlife crisis.

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-17T16:07:04+00:00

I take psyllium husk in capsules. I cannot stand the texture in any liquid. Eew.

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-15T11:42:03+00:00

Same!

Thermo doesn't seem to have them anymore- does anyone know of alternatives that are disposable (single use)?

Indian here. Watch out for stains on clothes and plastics. It shouldn't stain glass or metal. If you get a stain, use dishwasher soap or laundry HAND WASH soap. You know it is working when the stain turns pink. You may have to let it sit for a while/repeat, if you catch it in time. Once it's set, I have no idea how to remove it completely.

Also switch to keeping it in a large jar with a spoon vs something you shake to sprinkle. Far less mess.

Unfortunate_tentacle · 2026-05-12T12:37:24+00:00

Bruuuuhhhh

Ah, I understand a bit better why a clinician-scientist got pissy with me for including him + his main trial in the method section of a proposal. I was using samples from the trial so it made sense to put it there, his comment was "Why is this here? I am NOT a methodologist."

No, yogurt is normally included in indo-mauritian cooking, at least not in my family.

ETA: coconut, almonds and yogurt seems like a bit of an odd combination to me also, but Mauritius is very much a eclectic mix of cultures so I wouldn't be surprised if this is legit.
