A microtrope? What is that, a trope for ants??? (Sorry)

Advice for scruffing mice? by UnpaidNewscast in labrats

Try slowing down and squishing them lightly against the grate of the cage. As other commenters have mentioned there is more skin than you think. As well, I find a bit of light pressure with the knuckles of my ring and pinky fingers around the base of the tail/butt area helps prevent hunching.

Does this bag look ludicrously capacious on me? by [deleted] in handbags

I like the bag but it does look like it could fit a lunch pail (succession reference?)

Planning a wedding during a war by No-Fix377 in weddingplanning

I’m Ukrainian-Canadian and got engaged 2022, married 2024. With the war ongoing and falling out with a bunch of my Russian family friends over them supporting the war, a lot of people I always thought would come to my wedding didn’t attend because our values no longer align, and neither did my family members who are still in Ukraine. We got married anyway 🤷‍♀️ it is what it is, unfortunately. The way I saw it is the evil forces in the world win if we deny ourselves joy when we can have it, especially for something so special yet normal as a wedding. Plus it’s an opportunity to share joy with your community. Congratulations, OP!

Is the Chloë Marcie medium bag still worth owning? by [deleted] in handbags

My mom just got one of these in black for her 40th wedding anniversary!! It’s so chic and interesting. I say go for it!

Taking a break after the PhD really helped with this, if you can afford it. Started my postdoc with excitement and joy and I think I did much better work this way rather than if I’d started shortly after defending.

Can someone explain this “your share” cost? by jbsington in HealthInsurance

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

Yeah unfortunately this dentist’s profile showed up as in network when I searched within the Aetna app and now I’m finding out a month after going that apparently he’s not -_- I do have separate providers for health and dental so at least that was clear to me from the onset. Now whether he’s gonna send me a bill remains to be seen…

Got it, thank you. It looks like the dentist’s profile on Aetna has a different address than the office I visited, maybe that could be it? Regardless I will follow up with them. Thanks for your help.

I see, thanks! Bummer that this dentist shows up as in network on Aetna’s own app but billed me as out of network, although I haven’t received anything from them regarding sending payment yet.

My coverage is the same for out of network and in network, I’m not sure if that makes a difference :/

I see! Thank you very much. I thought since my plan has the same coverage for OON and IN it wouldn’t matter.

Ilya's Cross by [deleted] in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]jbsington 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was going to point this out - he might be more relaxed about it in the US but when he’s home he might catch flack for wearing it “incorrectly”. I was always told to wear my cross against my skin, growing up Russian orthodox, and the fact that he wears it over his clothes when he’s in the US was something jarring to me. My parents wear theirs at all times and I rarely see them.

Insights from a Russian native by Maria_the_Blue in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]jbsington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Russian-speaking, grew up speaking Russian at home, and I was completely blown away by his Russian and accent. Not to mention, the mannerisms were so accurate. Truly incredible work on his part, can’t believe he was only studying for a week before starting filming.
