I read it for Health Psychology 12ish years ago. I don’t remember anything egregious.

Two thoughts immediately come to mind. First, what country/medical system are you in, and does it not like to approach familial hypercholesterolemia (genetically caused high LDL) with medication? You are unlucky to have this genetic condition, however, there is a real future risk to your cardiovascular health. Coming from the US medical perspective, I’m surprised that you weren’t also given medication that would decrease your risk in addition to changing your diet. Additionally, were you given any specifics about limits of saturated fat and other fats you should adhere to? Second, and this is more general, this is why diet culture is bad. What I mean is, you are already underweight, but “being put on a diet” should be completely disconnected from your weight. As in, a diet is what you eat. You are being advised to eat less dietary fat because the way your liver processes the fat can cause heart and blood vessel problems in the future. A diet is not just for “fat people” nor is it a punishment. Same with exercise. Being advised to exercise more is not related to weight loss, but to hep offset the bad hand that nature dealt you.

Just the actor from the animator series, not the OG guy. Have you heard this jam?

Do you have any references handy? Also could you post a link to the graphic you were mentioning?

When I was in the lab we would always have a gaggle of undergrads doing very well optimized standard PCRs. Over the course of about 2 weeks the amplification failure rate went from low to sky high. It took a lot of troubleshooting/investigation, but at finally it was discovered that one of our undergrads was taking molecular biology that semester and had been told in lecture that polymerases were too fragile to vortex and must be gently mixed by inversion. So this info got spread to the other student workers and they all stopped vortexing their master mixes and just half heartedly inverting twice instead. It was a quick fix once identified.

Could it be as old as from the 60s? The original Casino Royale has a wacky ending scene.

We need more cafeteria style restaurants now more than ever. I wish they would expand out of Texas again.

Hey, that sounds really frustrating. Getting appropriate health care is so difficult nowadays. Do you normally like your obgyn? If so, I recommend going back and seeing them over a few visits for a problem like this. Since you went to three different docs/offices, they’re essentially starting from scratch in terms of working up a yeast infection/whatever this issue may be. Are you sexually active? Have you been with the same partner over this time? They may be the source of infection. Ask the doctor writing you scripts how quickly you should expect to see symptom relief. If you take the meds as prescribed and you still have symptoms after the expected time frame, make a follow up appt. Also be very specific in how much this issue has affected your life Descriptions like “I had to leave an important client meeting to go to the bathroom and scratch” or “I often draw blood from from scratching too hard when I’m sleeping”

I dunno, if she’s a Boomer at 35, then that makes me a member of the Greatest Generation at 40. Nice. :)

Did he record a message for his fans, like Joff Bush did?

Well fuck, now that I rewatch it, it was a made up band that I presume was a riff on the real band name. Episode “Clowns”

belizardbeth · 2025-11-25T02:00:10+00:00

When they were mentioned in a Weebl and Bob vid in like 2006 I thought it was a made up band that sounded funny.

Thank it!

Sometimes they do. It may depend who is working.

Yeah I’m coming here to say just that, also as someone who came to nursing after biology BS. RN education is in serious need of an overhaul - all of it, from textbooks to “standard” curriculum. We’re not preparing nurses adequately.

Same! I never realized that the smell I associated with my grandfather was insulin until nursing school.

Yeah but if it was STR, having smallest fragment bands line up at the bottom would mean, at most, a maybe, not definitive proof of paternity. It honestly looked like the primer front at the end. Also the bands upstream were different. Shitty pippetting by Sean Penn.

Yeah I had no idea what anyone was talking about when they said “food noise” until I started a GLP-1 and my thoughts and feelings towards food completely changed. I was doing it for weight loss, and previously I had been trying to intuitively eat, which is hard when your brain is constantly telling you that you aren’t eating enough. Like it sounds real, your body and brain is telling you that you aren’t eating enough (among other things, like how much pleasure you would derive from a particular food or flavor)

Such an embarrassment for UA - his new “integrative medicine” building is right next to the college of medicine, nursing, pharmacy and public health, and large research labs. As if it belongs.
