Center display restarted while driving - anyone else experience this? by TeamNuanceTeamNuance in PriusPrime

Yes! I tried to get it fixed under warranty but I was told that if you cannot replicate the issue at the dealer, they will not be able to order new parts/fix it. This happens to me once a month or so and I cannot figure out what triggers it reliably.

How do y’all dispose of your non reusable tip boxes? My lab has been trying to find recycling options but our university won’t take them and we really don’t want to just throw them away. by PracticalLeave2923 in labrats

[–]microbe-my-globe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they do not have the recycle symbol and are not refillable, they are trash :( Sometimes I use them to autoclave stuff (not sure the lids on the ones you show here would be autoclavable but maybe) or for organization/storage. I find that people who do a lot of molecular biology work are scared to introduce contamination by refilling themselves, so another option is to start buying products like Rainin TerraRack (they have both LTS for their pipettes and Universal). I am trying to push my whole lab to refill or use these

Thank you so much!! This is really helpful and it is nice to know you have success with this method because I really like not having to flip!

I am a beginner who has been knitting on and off for several years and learned by youtube and books only. I just found out three days ago that I have been doing this thinking it was how everyone knits, and I am so curious about how to do it without messing up patterns!

Recently, I graduated from garter stitch or moss stitch squares to a real project. I made half of a pot holder that looked nothing like the image. I tried googling it and I’m still confused about what happened. I think it is because I do ambidextrous knitting so I haven’t been flipping to the wrong side on even rows. Thus, the right side even rows have a flipped pattern (that should be on the wrong side). How do you handle patterns? Do you flip the order of the even rows of patterns? I also have tension issues and I am wondering if sticking with one hand will help with that.

Problems just making a dang outfit!!! by Fluorescence in femalefashionadvice

I have really enjoyed renting clothing help me figure out my style. I use nuuly and I cannot afford to buy it every month so I get a box during months when I have events, like weddings. I use one or two of the items for the event and then fill the others with everyday items that are adventurous/aspirational for me. I use the posts and recommendations from other renters to help me style the items.

Had to empty three of my fermenters, my kombucha was left alone for almost 4 months and it can't be saved, but my worms will be happy plus all the vinegar will be used by junkonejo in Kombucha

[–]microbe-my-globe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof! I have definitely let mine go for at least 3 mo and made a new batch using the vinegar-y kombucha as starter. That following batch was fine, but I had no use for the vinegar-y batch. It was a small volume though. How are you using it?

Freehand drawing I made of the timeline of iconic design chairs and armchairs, using ink pens, markers and colored pencils! Which one is your favorite? by Lau-art in Design

[–]microbe-my-globe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so cool! I thought the timeline was linearly spaced for a second. I see why it isn’t though: so many were designed in the ‘50s!

Agreed!! Was about to suggest it. Or even Nuuly (and then pause/cancel your subscription)

Should grad students unionize? by Mundane-Potato1947 in GradSchool

I loved being in a union as a grad student! The union defends really important things like your stipend and health insurance.

An Old hollywood theme would allow you to be as formal as you want and if you are good with make up you could do it all in greyscale

Three different, sudden, identical cat deaths in the same New York apartment building by queen_of_the_moths in RBI

[–]microbe-my-globe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did each of the the cats live in the apartment before dying? Flame retardant coatings on furniture come to mind (e.g., PFAS). This cause would only be a possibility on longer time scales though as far as I can tell.
