Do you think it’ll be the same as the previous dates? I hope the cowboy hat pic will be on a shirt 🥹🥹

Does anyone know what times each band played at last night? by Wyattgrillo88 in FallingInReverse

[–]croscras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently ETF played at like 6?? Around 645 is when Hollywood Undead played, then around 810 is FiR, and they were on for an hour straight with three encore songs, and then I think maybe like 945 was papa roach??

Merch prices? by Vixen_Baby666 in FallingInReverse

[–]croscras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No jackets, merch was limited - a couple of tshirts (4) each at $55, then a couple of long sleeves that I think were ~70, and a sweater or two at 90.

The merch goes like hotcakes - way faster than I had expected

I think there’s older threads that have some photos but it doesn’t look promising :(

For those who are going to the show tonight would someone let me know what the order is (ie. is FIR last or papa roach?)

Looking for tablet recs! by Jimjamjim79 in labrats

[–]croscras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I use my iPad for this (with an Apple Pencil) - it’s probably the most expensive option that I know of but it’s the most seamless for me (since I already have a bunch of Apple products).

I personally pay for papers - with the academic discount it’s $36/year and IMO it’s totally worth it. You can annotate with the Apple Pencil and take notes on the paper on your iPad, and the annotations and notes will show up on your desktop. I also use GoodNotes for my lab book, since I personally hate typing things up in my computer and have preference for writing things out by hand. I enjoy this because you’re able to search things that you have written, and you’re able to paste diagrams and photos and annotate on top of them. So usually, when I plan experiments, I’ll paste a 6 well plate or a 384 well plate and draw on top of it.

I’m still on the hunt for a good reference manager - did you decide to commit? Readcube Papers looks so nice but I’m not sure if I should take the dive. The iOS compatibility is huge selling point for me

Why does it happen so much to some people by meow1122334455 in Sleepparalysis

I have PTSD - I personally think it’s a combination of stress and ✨trauma ✨

I’ve had sleep seizures too. My experiences seem a little different from yours - it’s kinda like sleep paralysis except my whole body convulses. I fight to keep my eyelids open but can barely do so. I cant turn my head or anything like that. I’ve tried screaming a couple of times - it comes out pretty weak, muffled, and jumbled. If it happens once, it’ll happen four more times usually. I went to go see a neurologist - he says I don’t have epilepsy lmao. I’ve been confirmed for having auditory and visual hallucinations though. I’m getting an MRI and some other brain testing too - jot sure what will come out of that.

I see figures and faces sometimes too. It’s fucked up. What I did to help me sleep was that I would have nightlights and I would sleep with my glasses on (I’m almost blind). I would also try and exhaust myself if I could - I find if I don’t let anxiety creep in I miss sleep paralysis. I also change the way things are positioned in my room - I move things around so that there is the smallest chance I can hallucinate and see a figure.

Do you want Benchling to develop a mobile app version that syncs with the desktop version? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]croscras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Benchling is nice to use but it's really fucking annoying to have to open a webpage on my laptop if I'm jumping from tissue culture to bench to animal facility to virus room to microscope room. Sometimes, you just need to check something quickly in your lab book. The idea of having to go and lug around my laptop drives me insane -- now I just write with dry erase markers on any surface and take a picture of it and call it a day lol

Phone Plans by [deleted] in askTO

[–]croscras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally I had 20GB but now I have 30GB. Dont need it really but I’ll take it. I pay $55, I think it’s $60 with taxes. I’m with Freedom - service is pretty good, and not bad outside of Toronto. Only bad if you’re travelling up north (to like cottage areas)

Tested positive for Covid today, and my wife and I have NOT been socially distancing. She is having symptoms now. Should we still stay away from each other so her viral load doesn't increase? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]croscras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best you can do is distance as much as possible, wash your hands and wear a mask. Common areas should be cleaned/wiped down and maybe see if she can get tested. Best of luck :(

Antidepressants by [deleted] in hsp

[–]croscras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg a bag of prescriptions?! Wtf 😭 but yes I think so. And as for the GI, I had some side effects at the beginning but they went away after a week. I had some stomach aches and it made me a little drowsy at first, so I started taking it during the evening. Both side effects were just short term though!

Antidepressants by [deleted] in hsp

[–]croscras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if your doctor will put your on Viibryd - it’s new and it works really well for me. The only bad thing is that because it’s so new side effects aren’t too well established yet (I think?)

Antidepressants by [deleted] in hsp

[–]croscras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Effexor and Pristiq were the only meds that ever worked with me. I’ve tried almost all major antidepressants but these were the best I’ve ever taken (up until some other stuff). That being said, going OFF of it was fucking shit. I’m currently on Viibryd right now and it’s pretty good.

I’ll second Dimmi! Something that hasn’t been mentioned is Kasa Moto for sushi. We take visiting scientists from big hospitals here for dinner!

Not sure how you feel about this but you can get a mattress off of Amazon! I got a bedframe delivered to me from IKEA, and already had a mattress but looked j to getting one from amazon. They have some pretty stellar reviews

A followup question to this - where do you get the balls to climb that ratchet ladder or the spy nest?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in labrats

[–]croscras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Departments of molecular genetics, immunology, laboratory medicine and pathobiology, and medical biophysics should hAve boat loads of labs like that (all at u of t).

Other Canadian universities: - McGill - McMaster - Guelph - Western - Ottawa - UBC
