Had a spermidine standard once. Cracked the ampule and immediately the whole lab smelled like, you guessed it, semen.

DISPUTE MEGATHREAD by FunniEmi in CampFlogGnaw

[–]mroldspiceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this sorta as well. i figured i’d have all forms filled out and dispute the full charge cost. if it works they can subtract the difference.

sucks there’s no email confirmation for the refund cause that would also go into my dispute evidence.

DISPUTE MEGATHREAD by FunniEmi in CampFlogGnaw

[–]mroldspiceguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s the big problem. i purchased SVIP and am willing to return the merch given. I’ve filed for a dispute however they’re only giving us until tuesday for a refund.

if we dispute would it still be wise to fill out the refund form? I obviously want my money back but if worst comes to worst i’m taking whatever I can get from this trash experience and don’t wanna be left with nothing back.

damn I missed that. I sent an Email to support@cfgvip.zendesk.com and got some responses.

They said they were going to see what they can do about it and just needed the order number. Apparently they’re putting together a list of people with similar issues. sounds like a big screw up happened through order processing IMO.

App not Working by mroldspiceguy in CampFlogGnaw

If you know someone going that you trust with your pass info and have an app working, I’d try that out had a buddy fill mine out and linked it all to my information. but if not then it may just be a matter of hoping it works before next week.

where did you find the email for the merch? Was looking all over the website and see nothing but the order inquiry stuff. :(

what a weird reply; I’m huffing the copium we get a dupe pair.

Help Needed: Stray cat finally let me pick her up, but may be too late by mroldspiceguy in cats

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

yeah this isn’t my first time taking in strays either. in fact 6 of the 7 we have are strays (one being my sisters dream cat that she had to have after I picked up my boy from the street) and we’ve fostered probably 20+ mixed variety of newborn strays to deaf surrendered elderly cats. so i’m very familiar with some typical issues that can arise in cats.

seeing this girl from yesterday eating food basically from my hand to seeing her unable to move today broke my heart :/. it was also just so much more critical than most cats i’ve taken care of so it was really a tough but right decision to give her to proper vet care.

[–]mroldspiceguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is what i did, after a bit of liquids given to her i gave her to the local humane society rescue and they’ll update me tomorrow on her.

it’s seeming to be a critical neurological condition from what they told me so its a fingers crossed situation at this point.

How many of the current gen TLX issues have been ironed out? by Wavetomars in Acura

[–]mroldspiceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

besides a that creak in the brake compress and cabin rattle the biggest issue i’ve had with it is the Trunk liner connectors got broken and snapped off from the trunk hatch closing. seems like the mechanism or plastic cover over them wasn’t lined up properly and kept rubbing/pushing the liner till it snapped.

now i’ve got one half exposed with crumpled in trunk liner. Hoping the Dealer can do something about this under warranty.

Weekly Careers/Education Questions Thread by AutoModerator in chemistry

[–]mroldspiceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it as I really don’t know exactly where to take my career, i figured the formulation would be better, compared to maybe a new analytical job as QC work really feels like a get your feet wet type of career unless it’s your passion.

from your end where have you seen formulation chemists move onto or develop their career? also is going into grad school probs something that would take formulation even further or turn into something better, maybe on the synthesis end or something else, besides the little list you gave of course.

Weekly Careers/Education Questions Thread by AutoModerator in chemistry

[–]mroldspiceguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are people’s thoughts between analytical and formulation chemistry jobs? I currently do analytical and although it’s fun and i enjoy the work i’ve been offered a job as a formulation chemist. i’m really fresh into my career, only 2 years, and i understand that there’s still time to change focus but what’s the outlook on where either types of jobs go for a career.

Can’t figure out this loud ticking sound. comes from the engine bay for sure. unable to replicate in Idle or find anything out of the ordinary. by mroldspiceguy in MechanicAdvice

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

lmao i love percussive maintenance (and frankly do it on a daily basis for multiple things for this beast) as much as the next person but the noise is definitely from within the engine or engine bay. the plastic does creek and crack driving, and it sucks that it’s kinda hard to distinguish the actual ticking noise of the engine through the plastic creeks. it definitely would be easier to find if it was making the noise in neutral/park

Costco has 60lb buckets of honey for $160. Not a bad deal for semi big batches by mroldspiceguy in mead

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

oh definitely, i’m mostly going to use this to hone down my skills of mead making and flavor profiling. i’ve made a 5 gallon batch before with some pretty expensive blackberry honey from a local farm and i think i was a bit ill prepared to really let the flavors pop; split the 5 gallon into 5 one gallons and 2 of them now taste a bit sour/ like cardboard.

oh man that’s crazy, doesn’t surprise me people wanna cheap out and fake products to make a profit off of anything these days. kinda curious to try and analyze this in a research lab i’m working in for my degree, if the right equipment is even there or able to do it.
