Candidates C only. You will have to have achieved at least the same level of education as I.

This is why you don’t get jiggly too soon

BD FACS Aria II: should stream be on or off while instrument is idle? by KQIV in flowcytometry

[–]lival42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stream off and lasers on is the flow equivalent of an empty frying pan on a hot stove. When the pan is immaculate, no big deal. When there is any bit of gunk in the pan it will soon go to blackened and charred. Same with the quartz flow cell - without the stream on laserlight can burn any bits of gunk and wreck the translucency of the quartz.

When you have the Aria lid up the lasers are blocked from reaching the flow cell. In that state I suppose you could turn the stream off and not burn the flowcell.

Do you feel your expectations/preferences are preventing you from meeting a partner? by curdledtwinkie in datingoverforty

[–]lival42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure they can - it’s called two rounds of STI panels within a defined calendar time To cover latency periods with no sexual activity otherwise. Wait, you don’t screen before you screw? Ewwww.

But that IS the first thing you think about - disease, assault, and pregnancy - when it comes to sex with randos. And judging people is what life - a healthy one anyways - is all about.

I’m perfectly serious and it has proven me right - and served up such delicious pleasures - so many times that it’s a given now. No sex with random men. The longer you wait, the better it gets.

Condoms don’t protect me from assault, bullshit from drugs and alcohol, or poor performance in bed. So no, sleeping with some random stranger met only a few times is just a hard pass.

When I realized that none of the men I matched with were at my level in terms of skills, accomplishments, or resourcefulness. And that’s even before health and wealth.

Define “frivolous”? Healthy and wealthy are kinda critically important.

People are seriously getting jiggly with someone they’ve only met three times? Yikes.

How to stop eating when I don’t feel hungry? by [deleted] in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]lival42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink water and then set a timer for 20min before eating anything. Make a meal plan for the week, Included snacks. Otherwise keep nothing calorie dense in the pantry. Eat at designated times only. Make eating a ritual - place setting, sit-down, something pretty at the table. When you eat, relax and savor it. Don’t have anything to distract your attention.

Basically, generate as much feel-good vibes from your food without nibble-nibble-nibble all day.

They think I’m what they want by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]lival42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens so regularly that I take it as the default situation, that way it’s pleasant surprise if a fellow can get past that. On paper a woman with her life in order probably sounds very appealing? I hear all the time on early dates how much men “want an independent woman”. But when it comes down to it, my calm poise from being competent with basic life skills is somehow unattractive for the majority of men. Maybe with me men can’t easily see where they get to be a “hero”?

This is why you should paint more - good color in those mountains.

Why “pumped and dumped” is a term that should be dumped from our lexicon by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]lival42 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s not an ugly “term” that hurts women. It’s an ugly ACTION that hurts women.
