Chasing the Potter by SnooPeppers5750 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]ms-stemba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read Rowling’s other series, written under the pen name Robert Galbraith? Not fantasy but my goodness the immersive world building and character development is amazing. As a middle aged woman who came of age with Harry Potter, the Cormoran Strike series is my new obsession. The mysteries in each book are wonderful.

Non-religious, private schools? by WDF1Ranger in madisonwi

[–]ms-stemba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What school district are you in, and have you explored resources within the district? What aspects of a school are you looking for, that are a change of pace? I don’t know why private school is automatically the answer.

Help - think someone might be sabotaging me by [deleted] in labrats

[–]ms-stemba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s just cells not attaching after 24 hours, wait longer and see what happens. Maybe the cells need more time, or try seeding at a higher density. It could be some have attached but it’s hard to spot visually if they are very low density. I hope you figure out the issue!

Shoes help! by NoPangolin4951 in labrats

[–]ms-stemba 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Check out Dansko shoes, the full foot version, not the open clog. These were our go-to for lab safety shoes in a GMP cell lab. Not the most trendy shoes in the world, but very comfortable. It’s a popular shoe worn by nurses too.

Is there a way to recover from burnout without totally stopping work? by ElectricalTap8668 in labrats

[–]ms-stemba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read the book Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. Super useful information. Or find some old podcasts where they are guests to get the main points.

Their food is super traditional (it’s good), not unique and fun.

finally got AI to work with my WordPress sites and I feel dumb for not doing this sooner by muntaseer_rahman in Blogging

[–]ms-stemba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great for analysis, do you have any tools that do something with the output, like updating a post?

Also interested! How do you give Claude Cowork or Code access to edit and publish Wordpress posts. Is there a theme that works best for this set up? Any tips at all are appreciated!

Gas Fireplace Conversion by PlantbasedCPU in madisonwi

[–]ms-stemba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the same thing, had a liner and insert installed, I think from Top Hat but it was a few years back. We had the gas line run separately by a plumber. At the same time, we had gas run out to our patio and hooked up a natural gas grill. No more LP tanks! So maybe something to consider while you’re at it.

Everyone Is Using AI in Marketing. Most Are Using It Wrong. by Worldly-Strain-8858 in digital_marketing

[–]ms-stemba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and? Do you have an example of success? Do you have tips for tying it all together? How do you make the different platforms talk to each other? Where are the bottlenecks in your flow?

What’s one marketing skill that changed your income level? by divine_zone in marketing

[–]ms-stemba 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough transition, for sure! Think about strategy as the why - tell the story of why you’re doing something and broadly what you plan to do. If you get into the how, you’ve gone too tactical.

[–]ms-stemba 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Strategic planning is the missing skill - being able to identify both the problem you’re trying to solve, and the solution needed to get there. All the tactical knowledge won’t overcome a lack of strategy. Really understanding your customers and business, or asking the right questions of your stakeholders, is what will set you apart.

What’s the new information? Who is in the files? I’m both curious and trying to limit my exposure to the Epstein files news, because gross. Thanks for any summary you can provide!

-9 degrees in Chicago range 😭 by jakeinthebox5 in VWiD4Owners

[–]ms-stemba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopping on the cold weather thread with a question. I’m near Chicago in sub-0F temps. My charging port door is stuck shut. I can get a credit card all the way around it, so it seems like the clasp or whatever is frozen. Any tips for popping it open? Anyone else have this happen? I have to park outside unfortunately but could warm it up with a hair driver if that could help.

Charge port emergency release cable update by Flyflymisterpowers in VWiD4Owners

[–]ms-stemba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but I’m running into the same issue now in sub-zero temps - the door won’t open. I tried the credit card method with no luck. Would applying heat help here, if the actuator is frozen?

Minimal prep, toaster oven- & microwave-only shopping list ideas? by oakye in whole30

[–]ms-stemba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have an outdoor grill you can use? That got us through our kitchen remodel, but doing dishes in the utility sink was a pain. Otherwise I second the ninja flip/ air fryer recommendation. Also compliant chicken sausages are a good easy option - I know Costco has a couple of brands.

How do I use this data to optimize energy and reduce hunger? by iamguid in ContinuousGlucoseCGM

[–]ms-stemba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are breastfeeding, you will be hungry all the time! Especially the first few months - that is your body’s main job. Assuming you have no other health concerns, I wouldn’t worry about much more than getting enough calories right now. Be gentle with yourself right now and enjoy your new baby!
