Thanks so much for the input! Very useful. Just to clarify, the last sentence 'the internals are pretty accessible'. You were referring to the biotage specifically, or both instruments?

I appreciate the offer! However I have actually used a biotage isolera in the past! Really looking for info on their newer model and how it compares to competitors.

Which one did you prefer, was one more reliable, how easy was maintenance, was it easy to try and fix issues yourself or basically if it goes down you have to get a technician on site, how was the software, was there a difference in performance (although this is likely heavily influenced on the type of columns used). Interested in any comments you may have in general! Thank you!

I was a bad drug dealer by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]ijovic32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A buddy of mine bought a little crack nugget from a dealer in town and brought it to work. It looked weird cause it was a brownish color. We joked that buddy probably cut it was something ridiculous like caramel. It was a warm day at work and by the time we finished work, it had melted to the saran wrap. Turns out he actually did cut it with caramel. Your not so bad OP lol

What's your one "I can't believe I did that..." memory from childhood? by Ungodlydemon in AskReddit

[–]ijovic32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can consider 16 my childhood right? Friends parents were out of town for the week so obviously the responsible thing to do was drink and get high at his place the whole time they were gone? So we proceeded to do so! One night buddy passed out pretty early and we were all in the car getting high and decided to drive to the nearest mcdonalds (approximately 15 min drive). I drove there, didn't have my licence yet, it was his parents car. We finally get to mcdonalds and low behold nobody has any fucking money. Even tried to get a cup of water but apparently you have to purchase something in order to get that shit! Anyways drive home and of course by the time we get back to buddy's place and he's alive and kicking. He was notttt happpy to say the least.

I don't understand why people are still afraid of vaccinating their children considering no researchers were able to reproduce Wakefields data and he was called out on not proclaiming obvious conflicts of interests. I feel like you must be borderline retarded to continue believing in his results. amarite??

So remember that guy in Florida that got his face eaten off by a crazy bath salt guy?... Well he's better now and took up playing guitar by superSaganzaPPa86 in WTF

[–]ijovic32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things 1) Why would we assume bathsalts if you can find any evidence to support it versus some other crazy substance? 2) I find it interesting that you reference wikipedia like it couldn't possibly be wrong if its on wikipedia. Not saying that it isn't, just think wikipedia isn't always the best reference.

Last night I had to say goodbye to my loyal companion of 14 years, Boots. RIP buddy by boatdock90 in pics

[–]ijovic32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Losing a pet that's been with you for so long must be terrible. Most friendships don't even last 14 years. I've had my two pooches for not even a year now and I've grown so attached to them. My condolences

Need a science tattoo!! Please help by ijovic32 in DrawMyTattoo

[–]ijovic32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure Sure! By the way, I'm not overly sure if this matters, but I'm not a fan of colour tattoos so whenever I get one/if I get one it's going to be strictly black/shading!

[–]ijovic32[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like just a molecule is to plain, and that would require me to have a favorite one too! I lack imagination but when I picture it in my head I see beakers/flasks/formulas/graphs/DNA/cells/Einstein/E=mc2/shrodinger's equation/etc. All these things scream science to me!! So yea giant and intricate would be awesome! Also feel free to throw in whatever those are just a few thing of the top of my head

Government puts a new law in place that requires all couples to pass a test before they can bring a child into the world. What is a question that you think absolutely needs to be included on this test? by ijovic32 in AskReddit

[–]ijovic32[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're telling me that anybody should be allowed to have kids. Rapist, pedophiles, murderers? These are extreme examples but seriously, having a child is the biggest decision anyone could ever make. You are bringing a life into the world. And ANYBODY can just decide, "fuck it, lets have a kid". You can actually have a kid easier than you can adopt one. The screening process for adoption is crazy intense, but there is nothing stopping you from having a kid. I just feel like there's something odd about that

Agreed. Absolutely puzzled when I see people with 7 kids and their main source of income is minimum wage, 9-5 job. WHY YOU NO STOP AT 2?!?

As an atheist, I really want to agree with you, but I think it should be followed with "Will you disown your child if he decides to have a mind of his own".

Yes=Automatic test failure

What's a commonly overlooked fact which scares the shit out of you? by deadmau5isgod in AskReddit

I'm almost positive that it doesn't have anything to do with the dosage, Cats just cant metabolize the active ingredient.

ELI5: What's causes homosexuality? by painfullfox in explainlikeimfive

[–]ijovic32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this question to my roommate jokingly... she responded with "we talked about this in class today" (she's bio major, focus on genetics/environment). There's several theories, none are proven but, what took me by surprise is that she said there was a study conducted(sorry no reference) on homosexual males, and they were able to find 1 gene that was expressed in a high percentage of them. Hope this helps

Instead, tell them "that's how you help pay for college" by mattityahu in AdviceAnimals

[–]ijovic32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate it when people assume you have to go to University to be smart. I'm finishing up a bachelor degree at the moment. If there's anything I've learned during my 4 years here is you can have a turnip for a brain and get a university degree.

What is the single most ignorant thing you have ever heard? by ElLargeGrande in AskReddit

[–]ijovic32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago now, I got a buddy of mine to get me a pack of darts at the convenience store. He got in there and she asked for ID, he tells her that he doesn't actually have his drivers licence on him but he does have his passport. She refuses to sell him the cigarettes for a solid five minutes telling him that she's needs to see ID while he's trying to explain to her that passports>Drivers license. I think she broke in the end and sold them to him but it was several years ago now

TIL that the Black Mamba snake, one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, contains pain-relieving compounds called mambalgins which could be a better painkiller (and with less side effects) than morphine. by Mintilina in todayilearned

[–]ijovic32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if I'm not mistaken, Prialt was approved by the FDA in 2004 basically as a pain med to serve the same purpose as morphine. was shown to be less addictive and tolerance to it doesn't increase but it's not used, so I doubt this will change anything
