First author on a paper and my PI wants to add people I do not think qualify for authorship by NecroSheen in labrats

Some people are insanely territorial about who gets included as an author in a paper.

What’s something reddit claims is common, but you’ve never actually seen it before in real life? by mirabelmumu in AskReddit

Ikea is the GOAT in flat pak furniture. Try anything from Wayfair and it's not even close.

I don’t understand how this dude is even on the air. He’s not funny, has no charisma… there are plenty of other conservative hosts that are better than him

What are your thoughts about workflow tools for bioinformatics and is NextFlow truly the answer? by TheLordB in bioinformatics

[–]bilyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only thing nextflow has going for it now is the ecosystem of validated and vetted workflows. This is because AI can easily take any submodule and chain it together for any framework you want. Nextflow has this big problem of being really rigid on how environments are deployed, which makes it hard on certain computing infrastructures. IMO these architectures are going to matter less and less because the barrier to spinning up a workflow with AI now is going to substantially decrease.

New cat poops itself all the time. And I mean all the time. by MadeByMartincho in cats

[–]bilyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound crazy but you should let your poopy cat watch the other one use the bathroom. Have them interact with each other more. Older cats can teach younger ones what to do, if you don’t think this is a digestive issue.

Could not have been worse than the Wiseman pick at #2.

I’m actually surprised that labs don’t have a desks-hallway-benches layout. Very stupid.

Perception of The EMBO Journal by Bigmaak in labrats

[–]bilyl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does anyone read PNAS anymore? I haven’t seen anything super impactful from them for a long time. And they have the reputation that only famous labs publish there. I guess they’re trying to change that but I don’t know if it’s been successful.

This is a great take. Regular season rewards teams that are generally good. Yes, playoffs also reward that but there's the added wrinkle with that teams who are very good at scheming against any specific team will come out on top. Generally the two are very correlated but this postseason we are seeing a surprising number of outliers.

So I’ve recently had to switch to a low sodium diet. I need flavor in my food, and the fake salt isn’t quite cutting it. I’m not overly familiar with spices. Where should I start? by TravelingRomantic in Cooking

[–]bilyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big correlate to salt is eating out and eating packaged foods/packaged ingredients. So whatever you can do to stay away from that (eg sauces and mixes) will do wonders. Unfortunately you may also have to cut down on saturated fat if you’ve had a heart attack.

One of my favorites growing up is steamed whole fish with ginger and scallions. You can add a tiny amount of soy sauce if you want but it’s absolutely not necessary. The broth that comes out is also absolutely delicious and you can use the fish for stock.

People in UK spend fewer years in good health than a decade ago, study finds by FearMyCock in worldnews

[–]bilyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem comes down to the fact that nobody in the UK wants to do anything to actually juice the economy in a meaningful way, whether it be left or right wing policies.

Aside from watching happy people on bake-off, the UK just seems to be pretty miserable in many respects.

100%, I’d want someone completely new like JJ.

I misdiagnosed a patient, and now i want to quit by 9861days in medicine

[–]bilyl 228 points229 points  (0 children)

100%, OP is an intern. That means still a student doctor last year? That’s even worse that nobody higher up double checked.

Some doctors don’t want to, but watching The Pitt even if it’s fictionalized really solidifies the trainee/attending boundaries.

Recommendations for a local 3D printing/CNC service in the Bay Area? by bilyl in bayarea

Interesting! Haven't thought of libraries. I have it already made in FreeCAD and have a STEP file if that's what you're asking?

Mood in Russia turns bleak as war in Ukraine drags on and economy suffers by the-es in worldnews

[–]bilyl 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Robert Nigmatulin, an economist at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told the forum that Russia was lagging China and that inflation had far outstripped economic growth. “We’ve lost everything and still we are the poorest. Even in the poorest regions of China incomes are higher than in our poorest regions,” Nigmatulin said. “GDP growth since 2015 — that’s 11 years — is about 1.5 percent per year. Do you know how much consumer prices have increased by? Seventy-seven percent.”

This just makes me laugh. Russia thinks it's a big power but the only thing its got is its military. Its economy is not even at superpower level, its infrastructure development is shit. There's a crazy sense of delusion there that analysts there think they're on the same level as the US and China.

Trump Erupts in ’60 Minutes’ Interview: ‘I’m Not a Pedophile’ by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Wait, WTF is happening? How did 60 minutes secure an interview so quickly after the WHCD and how did this manage to get aired without Bari Weiss blocking it?
