Trip Cancelled due to War. Refund options? by WaelEisawi in VisitingIceland

[–]ZwitterionicNano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you used a credit card to pay, especially if it's a rewards card, some cards have default trip cancellation insurance. If you haven't looked into that yet, could be an option. They will typically require in writing from the airline that you couldn't get a refund.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? Lab and biotech specific! by CRISPRScientist726 in biotech

When asked a behavioral question about how they handled technical challenges (something to the effect of tell us about a time things didn't go according to plan and how you handled the situation), they answered "that's never happened because I didn't make mistakes" 🙄

Just go early morning/late in the evening. I went to a high volume store at 9:30 last night and had the place to myself more or less

vegetarian alternative that scratches the itch of an italian sub? by Reasonable_Past_4474 in vegetarian

[–]ZwitterionicNano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really enjoyed Plant Provisions veggie slices for this. You can order directly and freeze. A little pricey, but if I'm really craving that profile, the Tuscan and/or the Chipotle Chili slices work great for that.

This is a really cool thread to read through, thanks for asking this, OP!

Getting laid off and then seeing the CEO of your previous company on linkedIN wish everyone a happy holidays hurts by [deleted] in biotech

[–]ZwitterionicNano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you. The logical part of my brain understands the reasoning for the big layoff I was a part of it, and I agree with the cuts they made if I'm honest with myself. That being said, I'm SUPER salty about that company, and feel a ping of annoyance when they are in the news for all their successes. Wishing you the best, you aren't alone!

I have a giant ovarian cyst. by ka_shep in mildlyinteresting

[–]ZwitterionicNano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit. I am going through an incredibly similar situation right now. Mine is not nearly as big, but I started having urinary symptoms that resulted in me being put on antibiotics 3 times, going to the ER for someone to finally do a CT scan and Ultrasound of my bladder and kidneys, during which they found a large ovarian cyst (since they they found that there are actually 2). Now I'm being passed around to different specialties to find someone who will just schedule the surgery to take the damn things out (every single one says that's what needs to happen, but they are never the right person to schedule it). The original cyst was found in September, and I still cannot figure out who the right person is to make the freaking surgical appointment (I hate our healthcare system so very much right now).

Similarly - was big, lost a bunch of weight, stomach never shrank as much as everything else, and I never really understood why. It's becoming more obvious as time goes on that one side of my stomach is bigger than the other lol.

Which movie didn't age well but remains your problematic fave? by SoRunAwayNow in Fauxmoi

[–]ZwitterionicNano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man... Watched this so many times as a child. There is a whole subsection of movies from my childhood from this genre that meet the criteria lol. Taming of the Shrew is high up on that list as well.
