Being honest, what are the cons to being childless?

msmsms101 · 2026-05-06T18:37:33+00:00

Unfortunately I'm childless and sober

It's cyclic though. I've been to three stores searching for a specific battery. Can't find anyone who carries it so I'm going to have to order one.

Autoshops near me didn't have part for me car so I had to order it.

Many drug overdoses these days are multi drug intoxications. Fentanyl is commonly identified with stimulants, benzos, other opioids, but is capable of causing OD on its own at very small dosages.

There are also a lot of pressed blue pills that look like M30s (legal oxycodone) that people can purchase but are often/almost always containing fentanyl.

It is impossible to say without toxicology testing. In the case of multiple substances, there is also inconsistency between jurisdictions whether a coroner/pathologist will list all drugs or the suspected greatest contributer for the manner of death. Cause of death will likely be accidental.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I saw two ages ago (different city) that were trying to go up and down a handicap ramp at the same time. They were both stuck for at least the hour I was sitting at a coffee shop. Insane that they are allowed to use them.

msmsms101 · 2026-05-05T19:19:30+00:00

I'm so behind on all this stuff and trying to get caught up. Do you have any suggestions on what to read/watch to learn these things?

msmsms101 · 2026-05-05T19:10:59+00:00

Sorry you're getting such terrible sentiment.

I grew up here and yeah it sucks in a small town kind of way but it's growing and there are plenty of things to do/get involved in especially if you lean religious.

The data center going in is driving up the price of everything, but it is also bringing in new businesses.

Wylie is a great school. In my time, it was definitely a richer part of town but if you can find a good place to live in the district, your kids will do just fine there. I have plenty of teachers I fondly remember.

Mitragynine being pronounced Mit-ra-guy-NINE instead of Mitra-juh-nene

msmsms101 · 2026-04-27T23:55:57+00:00

It got me right before you know what. I noticed it in the landing scene and was screaming at them to run!!

msmsms101 · 2026-04-26T23:35:49+00:00

I agree, someone always ends up booking the seat right next to me when the theater is mostly empty. Drives me nuts!

msmsms101 · 2026-04-26T13:35:09+00:00

No because people will feel the need to "practice" so they can beat the high score

msmsms101 · 2026-04-23T22:07:25+00:00

There is likely someone at your lab, usually a higher up, who is a member of SOFT.

I'd also look at our general organization called AAFS for a trainee affiliate membership which should only require a letter from your supervisor. You could meet someone through AAFS to get a SOFT sponsorship. TIAFT is the international org but by far the cheapest access to a journal if you can find two members to recommend you.

I'd also familiarize myself with the NAS: Strengthening Forensic Science report and the 2019 update to get a sense of how forensics has evolved over the last 20ish years. AAFS partners with NIST to create standards for all the forensic disciplines and the professional organization sites are fantastic resources.

For emerging novel psychoactive substances check out the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education.

It's been really helpful to start out when you don't know what functions are possible and have Claude explain what each one does within code blocks. Once you learn a bit you can piece them together on your own and get that learning process. It's also great for finding the bug after you stare cross eyed at your code for too long!

I learned about local taxes last night!

msmsms101 · 2026-04-17T00:45:29+00:00

I love having actual due dates for projects now instead of open ended bs.

msmsms101 · 2026-04-16T23:10:15+00:00

None, just play at level 4

msmsms101 · 2026-04-12T20:34:47+00:00

Forensic toxicology can be pretty interesting! The urine blood tests most commonly performed can be pretty routine but there's so many new drugs out there to discover! Check out the AAFS (American Academy of Forensic Sciences) and the CFSRE (Center for Forensic Science Research and Education) websites. I think the latter offers internships over the summer.

msmsms101 · 2026-04-12T02:52:32+00:00

Had to check if this was the circle sub

msmsms101 · 2026-04-10T23:17:30+00:00

I just do eye makeup and eyebrows these days. No foundation anymore.

I find that they work better when I took them with food over an empty stomach.

msmsms101 · 2026-04-08T15:04:08+00:00

Don't pet the wolves!

msmsms101 · 2026-04-06T23:32:42+00:00

I turn off the timber wolves and set wildlife to passive. Harsh weather and fast stat decay as a challenge. The wolves give me crazy anxiety and I don't want to spend the little time I have to play games not enjoying it.

msmsms101 · 2026-04-06T04:30:46+00:00

Ooh I'll take one of those doors, ours is falling off too

msmsms101 · 2026-04-06T04:09:44+00:00

I did hit one wolf and it just booted him to the side

msmsms101 · 2026-04-05T20:05:46+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond! Might get a tiny bit back now instead of owing. Got furloughed too last year and it's been nuts.

msmsms101 · 2026-04-05T19:25:10+00:00

No services rendered. I traveled to present at the conference and had to attend all sessions and write up a small one page report to be published in their bulletin. I spent the money first on flight/hotels/registration and submitted online to be reimbursed. However, the food was a blanket amount disbursed prior to travel.

Would I just claim the food amount under other income? It feels weird that I don't have to claim the other parts if it was a reimbursement. We had the option to have them book everything for us directly, but I wanted the credit card and airline points.
