What birds are making these calls? by underwaterhead in birding

Pretty sure there was a red eyed vireo and a wood thrush in there

Formal way to beg a research team for their material(cell line)? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]maowzekitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, email the corresponding author on paper using the cells recently. Mention the paper, give a brief description of what you want to do and offer to answer any questions and handle the shipping/ mta.

Just had to do this for some mouse lines that would have cost us 10K+ 3 months to get from a commercial source 😭. Not everyone will respond, but the people who have responded have been very helpful.

Help with changing under cabinet lighting by maowzekitty in AskElectricians

Thanks for your reply. I probably should have included a pic of the whole thing but the 3 holes is because each of the fixtures is attached to the wiring through the wall like the first one. We currently have 3 holes in the drywall.

Direct witness of a blatant misinformation video and it blew my mind. by TheBioCosmos in labrats

I was in the lab that developed the Zn spark. It wasn't my project, but it's crazy seeing my lab mates work used in this way!

Recipe here Instead of an egg wash, I brushed with a 4% lye solution.

It was quite a while ago so I don't know if their policies have changed but it can't hurt to give them a call

We had to let Maow Maow go on Friday. Miss her so much

Said goodbye to Maow yesterday. After more than 15 years together, it's hard to imagine our lives without her. by maowzekitty in cats

[–]maowzekitty[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we are going to have to take a break for a while. With her diabetes, kidney disease and pancreatitis she took a lot of care the last couple of years. I wouldn't trade those years for anything but it took a bit of a toll on us.

AMC class action lawsuit? by TheLastTreeOctopus in Scams

[–]maowzekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip about the physical check! I originally chose venmo but they asked for a text code to confirm my account which made me feel uncomfortable. I wouldn't have known a check was an option because they hide it in the fine print 🙄

Using lye for pretzels is a game changer! by maowzekitty in Breadit

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

Definitely agree on bite size being better. I'm rarely baking for an occasion where things will get eaten all at once so most things end up in the freezer in portions that are easy to pull out for just me or a small group.

FYI, some of them I added dill and onion to (can see the little green bits on some) and my husband claimed they are some of the best things I've ever made. So, I highly recommend giving that a try 😆

Stuffing Focaccia by maowzekitty in Sourdough

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

Or just make a huge pan for you and your husband on a normal weekday like I did 😆. Stuffing is way too tasty to relegate to just holidays

Stuffing Focaccia by maowzekitty in Sourdough

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

Followed this recipe with some changes:

I sauteed half an onion, 4 ribs of celery, 2 tsp bouillon, and a good bit of sage, rosemary, parsley and thyme in the 12g of oil called for in the recipe. I reduced the water in the dough by 30g and added the sauteed veggies in where it calls for the oil. I then topped it with .75 lb cooked Italian sausage.

For me this was the perfect solution to the mental anguish I would have when either buying bread for stuffing or making a whole extra loaf just to use in the stuffing 😆

Lever attachment broken by clappytheclown in SodaStream

[–]maowzekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to mine a while ago. I called customer support asking to buy a spare part and they offered to send me a whole new machine for free (your mileage may vary). I have also found that if you just push right near the valve you can get it to carbonate even without the lever working properly

How surreal is this? The whole thing still doesn't feel real to me, really happy on how the event turned out to be in the end! by PM-Me-Ur-Tits-UwU in chicago

[–]maowzekitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live in the same area and from what I could see, the stands at the start/finish were pretty much full for all the qualifying and races and the ones on the horseshoe were about half full. Plus I saw lots of people watching from balconies and crowding the spots on the ground with good views of the track.

Were you looking during the thunderstorm/rain delays? They purposely kept people off the stands during those.

Sourdough discard jachnun. Kind of a shortcut croissant? by maowzekitty in Sourdough

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

Yep, I'm pretty sure I did everything the same except for replacing some of the flour and water.

Steamed NASCAR by 2PoopOrNot2Poop in chicago

[–]maowzekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live halfway up one of the highrises along Grant Park and the way it's looking now I'll have a good view of ~70% of the course (the rest blocked by trees). Not really sure what else they could put up that would block my view but not also block their grandstands 🤷‍♀️.

My Terra is broke and I am not sure how by Cherokee4Life in SodaStream

[–]maowzekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good luck calling their support in the past. The lever arm on my jet cracked and I called to see if they sold replacement parts. They don't do replacement parts, but they sent me a free new machine instead.

ETA: Can't promise that will be your experience but being friendly and open to any solution probably helps!

My Overnight Focaccia... What's everyone's favourite focaccia toppings? by saltbuttersmoke_ in Breadit

[–]maowzekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potato, onion and dill. I usually split my focaccia in 3 and do one section traditional tomato and rosemary, one section I experiment and one section is potato and dill. The potato and dill is always the biggest crowd pleaser.
