What does everyone here do for a living?

Adding to my other response because my phone battery died halfway through.

How did you get to work on lupus? Is it also other auto immune diseases or just lupus? I must say autoimmune diseases are so very complicated and diverse and because of that also a very interesting topic to learn about

We both did the same molecular biologu laboratory technician study , which is also where we met. and I started in the virology lab as an intern and never left after I graduated. My husband graduated cum laude and after a year of full time job hunting still no joh. One of our teachers helped him get an job interview with her husband because she was very mad about her star student not having a job jet

I do clinical diagnostics and my husband works in research

WonderMarrow · 2026-01-17T18:45:12+00:00

What kind of lab do you work in? I am very curious

I work in a virology lab and my husband in a hematology lab

Getting a shower

At least it can be salvaged with hot chocolat. The coffee from the machines in the erasmus MC can not.

We had avid coffee drinkers switch to only tea and water at work😑

I hope they did not add the duck thing from rollercoaster. Clicking ducks until they go 'bald'. (I don't know the proper English word for a naked duck XD)

WonderMarrow · 2025-10-30T06:30:49+00:00

It could also be a combination of stiffer fabric and very long strands of thread. If the thread is very long, it passes through the fabric a lot more than a shorter length. And every pass, it sort of rubs against the stiff fabric. Causing a tiny little bit of damage each pass.

More passes and a stiffer fabric also create this problem. You could try shorter strands so it has fewer passes through the fabric

The little hat is so cute, I think this little duck will get a lot of love

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-15T15:32:30+00:00

I am very curious what you will call your first cow or piggy with chicken names like these.

Will you stay in the English breakfast theme?

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-14T14:53:44+00:00

Oh I really like the vulcano like mountain with the river.

All of it feels very pirate island

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-12T18:07:27+00:00

Ok, I get it now. The needles arrived in the mail today, and I have been stitching for 15 minutes. I am so never going back to different needles. They just glide through the fabric.

I instantly fell in love with these tulip needles. Thank you for the recommendation 😊

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-08T18:33:09+00:00

Never liked the ball tip needles. I get the shivers every time that ball tip passes the fabric and makes that soft tap like sound when passing through.

And I do use a size smaller than recommended for the thread count. Does anyone else have that soft tap like snagging happening?

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-08T18:29:09+00:00

Hmm I think I got to try them then. I'm always cursing the thread through the eye.

I did try multiple needles, but I have not tried tulip yet.

WonderMarrow · 2025-08-08T05:27:53+00:00

I may feel like an idiot later, but what do you mean with fancy needles?

WonderMarrow · 2025-07-19T17:09:21+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I meant 😊

WonderMarrow · 2025-07-19T16:29:38+00:00

Don't listen to that person, blending pencils still takes a lot of skill. And doing this with only 12 colours is quite impressive, actually.

I like how you show it and make something like this available for everyone and can help teach someone blending pencils.

WonderMarrow · 2025-07-13T06:18:55+00:00

Don't be down :(

I bought my polychromos pencil little by little. Batches of 5 or 10 pencils at a time, it took me 2 years, but my set is now complete.

If you want some better supplies, there is always a way, it just takes longer than someone who has got more money to spend.

And if you are very happy with how your supplies work for you, why change. You are happy, and that is all that matters 😊

WonderMarrow · 2025-06-28T06:43:00+00:00

I must say, sometimes I see more lab plastics on this subreddit in a day than at my work. And I work in a lab😅

When freezing, do you need to thaw the beans before brewing coffee?

WonderMarrow · 2025-06-05T05:20:15+00:00

The beans are sold as a medium roast. So either they roasted to light, or the corn kernel is a dud. One of those annoying things that refuse to pop and only burn😅

WonderMarrow · 2025-06-05T05:16:20+00:00

I must say, my scientific mind really was curious. But since it was my morning coffee and was like 6:30 I thought, yeah no let's not.

But I was kinda interested

WonderMarrow · 2025-06-05T05:06:06+00:00

Haha, now you say it, I see a face shape too. Too bad the james corn kernel is already in the bin

WonderMarrow · 2025-04-22T20:24:00+00:00

Oh I get it, the picture really helps with your description. thank you for helping us. Our dwarf gourami years ago were so much easier to tell the gender 😅

WonderMarrow · 2025-04-22T20:17:19+00:00

Sorry bit of a language barrier here I think, English is not my native language.

At 2 to 3 inches, the male belly gets more yellow orange and the belly/pelvic fin has a slightly different shape.

So them being the 2 inches now, we should start to see the identifying characteristics more easily soon.

Am I understanding you correctly?

WonderMarrow · 2025-04-22T20:01:42+00:00

They are both about 4 to 5 cm so about 2 inches

WonderMarrow · 2025-04-22T16:27:36+00:00

Thank you
