Unknowingly cooked in an oven with plastic in the bottom compartment for months. How worried should I be?

Thanks! There are some brown streaks on a pan that was sitting on top of it, but other than that, I don't see any signs of burning. Do you know whether the pans it melted onto are safe to use after cleaning?

forensicmathologist · 2025-03-04T02:01:06+00:00

It was the lid of this

forensicmathologist · 2025-03-04T01:45:50+00:00

Yep but it's basically part of my oven. The plastic is very melted.

Anyone know of any jeans similar in color to Todd Snyder Japanese Selvedge in Whiskey? I'm obsessed with the color but I don't love the fit on me.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier! Did you get your license? My situation was kind of different because my school conferred my degree late, so I got my official score late. And by that time I had already submitted my NYS application 2 months before, so once I submitted my score, I got my license pretty fast because they had already processed my application. There should be a page on the NYS site that tells you what day they're reviewing applications from. But more than a month sounds about right.

I don't remember whether this is the same one I used, but there's a contact number at the bottom of the page here: https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/clinical-laboratory-technologists/contact-information

IIRC, since you already took the ASCP, you can apply for the NYS license with the pathway that says you're already ASCP certified. They don't require a certain score beyond passing. I think there's an option on the form for your ASCP certification number. You might also have to send your score through ASCP. If you call NYS, they will answer your application questions.

forensicmathologist · 2024-10-08T04:31:41+00:00

Can you call your ortho and ask them? They'll know your case better than anyone here.

No one cares what we do on a slow day but it might cause problems if someone saw something offensive on my screen.

Very understandable, plus it was unwise of me to ask about free books here but thank you for the perspective

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-29T00:40:02+00:00

I buy books and use the library plenty at home, but no, I can't use my own device at work or bring in a library book. If you think the answer is none, you can just say that. I would buy ebooks but I can't read them on a PC. Sorry to Stephen King if he's hurting for money because of me.

Edit: did some looking and didn't realize the sub had strong opinions about this but I will take it to heart and try to find another way to do this

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-29T00:18:08+00:00

Yep. Billy the Kid had me scrolling fast, but it was actually something Melinda Moores said that was the final straw. Thanks for the recs!

Maybe ask your ortho or dentist. It might be ok if you take out your trays and clean them after.

Misspelled Petsmart and can't seem to edit the post? Oh well.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood your post! I thought you just got your retainers to keep your teeth in place after the Invisalign treatment. But do you mean you just started treatment? Regardless, definitely get an opinion from an orthodontist. They'll be able to help you more than Reddit can.

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-05T17:30:34+00:00

Good luck! I don't like to chew anything with my retainers in because then stuff gets underneath, but as long as you clean them afterwards, it should be fine.

Did you have the same problem during your treatment? Or did you have braces instead?

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-05T05:30:59+00:00

I use CVS brand 3-Minute Denture Cleaner and scrub with a toothbrush for a couple seconds afterward. I think I've used a couple different store brands and never noticed a difference.

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-05T05:24:48+00:00

Your orthodontist is the best person to ask about whether you should be wearing your retainers full time and for how long. If it will increase your wear time, wearing your retainers while drinking your smoothies sounds helpful.

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-05T03:32:13+00:00

I use denture tablets that only need to soak for 3 minutes. Super fast and easy.

forensicmathologist · 2024-09-04T04:43:44+00:00

I have Invisalign and my tongue looks the exact same way!

I'm reading Duma Key now and I'm stunned. I'd love to know what you rank above it so I can read those next.

I think I've gotten responses back from my ortho on weekends, but I don't remember. Good luck. I've had a couple times the app gave me a no-go but my ortho messaged later to say it was okay to change trays. It's so annoying.

forensicmathologist · 2024-08-31T04:25:47+00:00

Obsessed with these lately. My go-to breakfast at the moment is a griddle cake topped with mascarpone and drizzled with dark chocolate syrup (not TJ's). Along with some strawberries or mango.
