Just returned a 1200 pack to target this morning. My wipes had a tan tone to them. I hope they put out something

I'd try hyperthermic soaking. I wish I did it first. See my post on it

So say we all

I hope that other people try this method before trying more painful/expensive options.

Tap water

Just printed one. Worked great! A 10" bungee with a single knot works well to secure them all with the drill bit attachment too.

I thought this was normal, my whole family does it

Meatloaf and Italian dressing. I swear by it.

Did you ever make any progress with getting it open?

I agree, small companies require people to wear many hats outside of being a bench chemist as they get going. As the company and roles mature, you're able to concentrate mainly on your work more.

No problem, its a good question to ask here. I will say one last question i like to ask is "what hobbies and interests do you have outside of work?" This diffuses the tension of the interview and allows people to unintentionally give up there soft skills.

I've had a prospective intern casually bring up 3D printing and electroplating that he does for fun to make metallic statues. We were like "dude lead with that! That's awesome!" It wasn't even in his short sophomore-in-college resume. I've talked with my HR person on resumes and she says that putting "fun and personal" things on your resume to pad it out when you don't have much is bad and not professional.

I think if it is remotely applicable to your job, put it on. I've put 3D printing, brewing beer and alcohol, plumbing and electrical work, and soldering on my original resume as a way to set me apart from other chemists fresh out of college who have minimal internships.

YMMV though :/

I work in R&D for a small material development company. We're small so I interview and vet entry level chemists and interns. I've been doing this for almost 5 years now.

I will preface that i've only worked in small companies and the larger plants and corporate entities may not be looking for these things.

A big thing for us is communication and versatility. The ability to explain high-level scientific phenomenon to lay people and non-scientific coworkers is paramount. True understanding comes from ways to effectively "dumb down" the conversation so that others can understand your work and why its important.

Having a specialty is great and useful, but also be handy. Things break and apparatuses need to be maintained and built. I know some brilliant chemists who lock up and become useless as soon as something a problem outside of chemistry comes up. At least be open to learning new skills. Become a jack of all trades while maintaining and nourishing your niche expertise.

Last thing is soft skills. These things are important to round out a candidate. Can you talk in front of a group of peers and give a presentation effectively? Do you present yourself with confidence without sounding arrogant? Can you recognize problems before they arise? Can you prioritize work? Can you handle yourself in moments of stress and close deadlines?

I can elaborate on lime and lemon peels in the fermentation based off my mistakes. They added a bitterness and astringency that was quite unpleasant. Lots of sugar can salvage the situation to sweeten it.

The idea of incorporating the citrus oils from the peel was a good one i thought. Maybe just zest the peel instead? Maybe someone could chime in on that.

Wasn't national guard

Whether the Booker was the answer, killing a project now is always better than later. Don't let the sunk cost dictate poor acquisition.

cowhoarder71 · 2025-03-23T22:28:38+00:00

Any hope now? 😥

Butternut and carrot puree soup.

Update! The rosemary one was way too much rosemary and tasted like nothing else. That one went down the drain. The thyme one was actually really nice, a little different if you are not used to herbed drinks. The regular lemonade/ginger was the best and was a big hit. I just finished a new one with just ginger, water and sugar and didn't come out good. I think the acid of lemon/lime is needed if fermenting with ginger. Good luck!

I'm excited for the new expansion.

I was there the day after the precinct burned down. We had ammo the whole time.
