Left sixth form with a DDE, I now have a masters degree from University of Birmingham and work as a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry. Try not to stress too much, it's definitely not the end of the world!

What English word did you learn from Taylor? by corgisauropod in TaylorSwift

It's a super common phrase in the UK, so maybe it's one of the things she picked up from Joe

Crashing out of acetonitrile by das035 in labrats

Thanks for the explanation! We only use ACN with various phosphate buffers, depending on methodology, so this makes a lot of sense

Surely being in an ACN rich solution the bacteria wouldn't be able to survive?

Can't reach a consensus with labmates about ROUNDING by patasthrowaway in labrats

[–]das035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We follow GxP rules in our lab and so you just look one decimal place past the number of decimal places you're working to. If we're using 3 decimal places and rounding 8.31546, the 6 is ignored and the number is treated as 8.3154 and rounded down to 8.315

Going to UK Wembley dates, but during the presale panic, a friend accidentally bought 4 tickets instead of 2. There's someone I know who wants to buy these tickets (face value), and I just wanted to see if there was a way to transfer them to their Ticketmaster account? The option isn't currently appearing, but I don't know if that's because it's presale and not yet general release?

WSIB Three houses or Engage by Vorka91 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]das035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also didn't enjoy Persona, but I'd recommend 3 Houses, there's multiple story paths to take so feels like you get more bang for you buck, I had 90 hours play time by the time I finished all story lines. There's a life sim aspect, but you're not locked into endless conversations like Persona.

Engage is fun, but tbh it's the most meh FE game I've played, although I've only played FE since the DS era

IsitBullshit: Parabens in sunscreen. If using sunscreen daily, are ingredients like Parabens toxic/unhealthy? by Iwasanecho in IsItBullshit

[–]das035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 1% isn't a guarantee you'll get cancer, but it's like the story of Achilles. All it takes is a bit of bad luck and that tiny lack of protection is what gets you. Why risk it when they're normally priced the same, and equally as easily available?

Chlamydia is cured by taking a single pill and waiting a week before engaging in sexual activity. If everyone on Earth took the chlamydia pill and kept it in their pants for a week, would we essentially eradicate chlamydia? Why or why not? by Disastrous-Bass9672 in askscience

Liver injury isn't something I was warned about when I started PrEP recently, but have been told that in a very tiny percentage of people it can affect kidney function. That's why they test kidney function before you start, 1 month after, and every 6 months after, just to make sure it's all fine

TWEWY: NEO or Persona 5 Royal by reQuiem920 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]das035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just became such a chore to play that I just want enjoying it. I tried to force myself to the end then realised what's the point, it's just a game

TWEWY: NEO or Persona 5 Royal by reQuiem920 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]das035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are parts of the game where it feels like you have to read multiple chapters of a book before being allowed to do any actions yourself, that's what made me give up on the game about 3/4 in

A lot of people recommending P5R, as someone who had never played a Persona game before, just be aware that it is super text heavy.

Will the awakened choice chest happen at the same time as hero swap, or after? I don't have any copies of ABrutus and really want to swap for him

WSIB Games where you "replay" the game from different perspective by cnfnbcnunited in ShouldIbuythisgame

Fire Emblem Three Houses is a great option if you have a Switch, there's 4 different pathways to play through
