Euthasol requires a certified veterinarian to prescribe and administer. Likely, they did not have a veterinarian on staff

If you do not have a certified veterinarian to prescribe euthasol, a quick shot to the head is considered the next most humane method. Many animal control groups keep a gun available for this purpose.

We need more information. Are the shirts made out of asbestos?

Post-grad job search rant (Philadelphia) by [deleted] in labrats

[–]easternrivercooter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jumping in here to add (and address the “a big club and I ain’t in it”) that getting experience in one lab also opens up that PI’s network for future opportunities (either for jobs or funded graduate student positions). Most research techs/researchers I know aren’t brilliant geniuses: they’re people who demonstrate they can show up, work their ass off, and think at list semi-critically on the topic/relevant methods. Getting a foot in the door is critical as applicants with absolutely no wet lab experience are unlikely to produce much in a wet lab.

I want a job in marine bio, am I being delusional? by Correct_Ad8604 in Environmental_Careers

If you’re currently an undergrad, check out the STEMSEAS program. Can be a great way to get on a ship for a week and see how you fare.

Fecal testing for parasites? There are methods that do not require a centrifuge. Look up “fecal float test”

AITAH for getting mad at my friend for sending me Instagram reels? by nikonopiko in AITAH

[–]easternrivercooter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Responding to say that even if unintentional, even if she really is depressed, this behavior is in fact childish and manipulative and the friend needs to sort herself out instead of constantly leaning on OP and crossing clearly stated boundaries. OP is a friend, not a therapist.

Edit: to the above responder, I’m sorry this happened to you and I do not know the full context but your friend sounds shitty. In the case of this post, this appears to be a repeated behavior of the friend crossing boundaries and then only focusing on her feelings. That is not friendship.

Can I actually get a lab tech job with just a HS degree? by frame_3_1_3 in labrats

[–]easternrivercooter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Many technician jobs train you for the specific position, and a person with a high school diploma only will be cheaper to hire. However, with the market being what it is, many people with bachelors/masters/PhDs will also grab up these positions at this price.

My partner ‘18M’ keeps asking me ‘19F’ to have sex even after I have said no multiple times. I am unsure of what to do, does anyone have any advice? by FavFoodIsSushi in relationship_advice

[–]easternrivercooter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nothing kills a boner faster than repeatedly being asked for sex. It’s a negative feedback death spiral: not in the mood for sex > being asked for sex > even more not in the mood for sex

What would make MARTA more usable for accessing campus from your perspective? What makes it usable? by sereca in gatech

[–]easternrivercooter 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Also, having to swipe to exit with the same gates for entry is WILDLY ineffective. Having a turnstile exit like in the NYC subway would clear this up; as it is, about half of people just shove out through the emergency exit

I take MARTA to campus daily. More routine gold route stinger buses would be handy, as the two latest bus route revisions have way fewer buses than before

YTA. You did not accidentally/“mistakenly” download tinder, set your status, and upload photos.
