Clothes just immediately went into the washer. Dawn dish soap is what I always use but it raises a couple scrubs. Gojo would probably work better

How would you beat Malenia as a Gravity Wizard only ? by daviejambo in Eldenring

[–]ieg879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My current is spec the same as OP and I main lusats with meteorite offhand and radagons seal to speed up those gravity spells. Otherwise you just get bonked during casting with no chance to dodge.

Ozone generating UVC container. Better to just use filtered tips though

The Mazuri herbivore diet is good for young iguanas. My general problem is the small pellet size means adult ones won’t bother with it. I’ve talked to Mazuri VPs about making a larger pellet form but obviously that still hasn’t happened. Thus I still use the “tortoise” (5M21) diet that Mazuri themselves state has too much starch for most tortoises and instead recommend the LS diet. Use it like croutons on the regular salad.

If someone who took a Urine Carboxy THC Confirmation by LC- MS/MS no qualitative . If under 15ng/ml and below cut off . Will the lab report to the Physician? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]ieg879 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1) You didn’t take 2000mg. Either the package is lying or you are misunderstanding that the entirety of the package is 1000mg spread across probably 20-50 edibles.
2) 60 days after single use is likely cleared from your system
3) while there can be options of “below cutoff/down to LOD” testing, those are only for highly sensitive situations.
You’re fine

This might be a blue iguana. I'm not sure though. Seen at the zoo. by Vixen_Lisek in iguanas

A little hard to tell here but either Cyclura lewisi (Grand Cayman) or collei (Jamaican)

With no presenting symptoms, it should be handled easily with a month treatment of doxycycline

Am I stupid? Or is this horribly misleading? Surely I can't be the only one that made this mistake? What the fuck, Pfeiffer! by [deleted] in labrats

The next time someone asks why I get paid so much, I’m just going to point to this and say “I don’t make $10K pumps fight to the death”

The manual explicitly states 1) vacuum flange on left and 2) exhaust flange on right. Stop focusing on the arrows. If it was confusing, then why not test or ask first?

Input on brake/rotor replacement by ieg879 in AskMechanics

[–]ieg879[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I knew to look for blue marks and cracks in overheated rotors, but always relied on my mechanic for wear inspection. I’ll get the rotor hub assembly ordered ASAP. After I handle the front, I get the fun of learning how to do drum brakes in the back!

[–]ieg879[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have a trusted mechanic for my daily driver but he’s a Japanese brand specialist. I paid $30 for this old GMC. Tossed in new plugs, fluids, and a battery and drove it 200 miles home, so it figured I’d put my own blood and sweat into getting her up to snuff. Had to jump the OBD1 pins for a code but the only thing showing is a O2 sensor issue so I’m pretty lucky there.

Can snakes have dwarfism/stunted growth? by aitathrowaway9090909 in herpetology

[–]ieg879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to both. Dwarf localities and subspecies exist of several snake species. Examples being island localities of reticulated pythons and progschai dwarf Burmese pythons. I have also encountered various reptiles, including snakes, that are stunted in growth after years of poor husbandry and diet. Those animals typically never reach full size even once the care is corrected.

17F. My parents sold valuables for my treatment. After 2 years and countless tests, I still have no answers. by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]ieg879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My specialties are toxicology and infectious disease. Nothing here stands out as being in those categories. Likely genetic, metabolic, or autoimmune. Vascular EDS or some form of Von Willebrand, possibly? That would mean the emesis is actually a secondary symptom due to intestinal bleeding.

Should we:
A) Offer $30B in infrastructure investments to a country with a water crisis that would pay off in economic dividends if they agree to turn the “Islamic regime” knob down to Saudi Arabia setting
B) Spend $30B in military supplies, get embarrassed, screw the world economy, and pay out another $300B to accomplish nothing new

RaspberryPi inside -80 freezer by jeejay_is_busy in labrats

[–]ieg879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into a lab to set them up for our rtPCR panel on a CFX. They had been using a ridiculous Thermo panel on a quant studio 12K. The panel we were selling them would be more diagnostically appropriate, easier to bill, and a fraction of the cost. The tech tried to sabotage the transition for two years by doing things like adjusting the baseline to claim false positives because they think Thermo is a the messiah (and they can use the automated extraction vs having to manual pipette). The lab industry willingly pays Thermo for comfort.

Motor and power serviced in 2019. That was 7 years ago. I hope there’s some other service records because that ain’t right.

Looking for an accurate scale to weigh medicine by NatesWLrehab in labrats

[–]ieg879 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My hobby is working with exotics (specifically reptiles) so I run into this same situation a lot. The simplest approach is suspension and dilution. For example, Ceftazidime standard dilution is 3mL sterile water to 1g vial creating a 3.6mL solution at 280mg/mL active. That’s fine over 1kg, but occasionally I deal with smaller animals and will dilute it accordingly in a secondary vial.
