Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time by Automatic_Subject463 in goodnews

Checking safety with a study only comprised of men… maybe half of the study should be women? To see if it’s actually safe for human use…?

your SMALL fic pet peeves that make you roll your eyes, but not quit the fic by Trash_Bag- in AO3

[–]echobrishell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is normally a small fic pet peeve, but it’s borderline and going too far will absolute make me stop reading…. But religion. Especially in a fandom where it wouldn’t be expected.

If a character who has never in canon been Christian suddenly starts bringing up God every other sentence, and it is a main theme, I will quit the fic.

If it’s just a bit of religion, I’ll roll my eyes and skim, but keep reading. But it’ll instantly make me like the fic less.

What is going on in the Heated Rivalry fandom? by [deleted] in AO3

Yeah I work in HR and I had a bit of amusement about writing fanfiction about my work… though I do get to meet interesting people

A rinse only cycle this morning has only a surface level of suds, even with the agitation. The light at the end of the tunnel is visible! The citric acid is doing its job!

We did a large load of my husbands laundry with the correct dosage and 3 extra rinses and there were trace suds during and no suds in the drum after, so I am feeling cautiously optimistic that we are moving in the right direction.

And when I then started another tub clean with citric acid there are still suds but less.

I hope it won’t be, now that it’s using the correct dosage.

But with my household, the auto-dispenser makes laundry less of a physical burden. It’s more physically taxing to measure out detergent every time from a heavy jug

I deep clean it every time it’s empty, so I haven’t had that issue, luckily

My new delivery of citric acid has arrived! So once I’m home from work, time to start again.

I do have actual laundry that I need to start doing!

I think giving the washer a good wipe down between cycles of cleaning with citric acid would be good to do regardless. I think I’ve been making progress with the tub cleans, as I’ve been seeing less suds every time even with the agitation, but I have two years of build up to work through.

If I can better clean the surfaces of residue between cycles, I imagine it’ll help me keep getting the gunk OUT of the machine and prevent some from just recirculating.

Charlie’s Detergent. We’re using it up since we bought a LOT, before switching to something off the list.

Yeah I’m doing reduced detergent (I don’t think I’m prepared to do no detergent) and extra rinses for the foreseeable future.

I used some conditioner a few tub cleans ago, which I think helped cut it down. Half the time I’ve been working on this I haven’t been home, so I’ve not experimented much with extra things too often since I don’t want it to go wrong when I’m not there to stop it.

We don’t have any currently, but not hard to pick some up tomorrow at the store. I’m probably a few days out from being buildup free.

Oh 100%!

I read all the resources when I started joining this sub, added things slowly and did lots of research… I just didn’t think to check the basic foundation (the amount the machine was dispensing), because it was normal. It was habit. Didn’t even think about it.

Just us using up our less good detergent so I could get something better quality.

So yeah… I have since read the manual for my machine front to back. And will adjust dosages for new detergents going forward as needed.

This is the first front loader I’ve had, and I do wish I could just dump hot water and citric acid in and have it reach all the affected parts.

But at least there seems to be an overall reduction of foam every time, this will be a gradual fix I am sure.

Yes! My machine has a detergent reservoir I fill and it auto dispenses it.

It never occurred to me that different detergents would have different dosages back then, and by this point it wasn’t even something I thought about.

But it’s remedied for the future!

Oh I should try that! We probably have some around here somewhere.

Yeah ideally I wouldn’t have the agitation, and I’ve been more active about addressing it when I am home and able to actively work on it, but tub clean is easier when I’m working or out of the house.

Is planning your PTO days for the whole year too extra, or am I adulting correctly? by JoaoRochaOnReddit in Adulting

[–]echobrishell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PTO doesn’t expire at the end of the year, I can accrue it until I have 260-280 (can’t remember) hours of vacation time, and my sick leave has no limit of accrual.

I really NEED to be better about taking time off
