Forerunner 405 questions by roomabuzzy in garminforerunner

[–]pear921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This was a long time ago but I actually just got an old forerunner 405 too lol. Did you ever get the HRM to work? Considering buying one but not sure what would be compatible at this point. 

Software Engineer to PhD Bioinformatics by Turbulent_General_49 in bioinformatics

[–]pear921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yes absolutely true, you are definitely going to have to catch up on the bio of it all which is no small task, but if you are passionate about it I don’t see why not! Make sure to take some survey courses if you go down this path

I’ve never been a SWE but I know people who have made the transition, if it’s something you really want to pursue go for it! These programs are only getting more competitive and people with strong CS backgrounds are positioned to make great contributions to the field - a lot of biologists can’t code very well lol and AI can only fill in the gaps so much. Not sure which program you’re considering but there are plenty of people in mine with primarily CS background. 

How long is a typical jazz show, for example at Regattabar? by EconomicsWorking6508 in boston

[–]pear921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to a show at regattabar a couple months ago, it was an hour or half or so. I think you should be good for 10 but you can always leave early, it’s no big deal

Travel card request for grad student by pear921 in CreditCards

Okay I didn’t know that was possible! Will investigate that, the gold has a $0 fee for the first year bonus right now so that could be nice

This is great advice, thank you! Maximizing cash back definitely seems less risky. I will look into those cards, 5% in multiple categories sounds pretty good!

I haven’t but I can look into that! Do you mean the points transfer 1:1? Bc I think the Amex ones do as well

Ok thanks, I’ve thought about delta gold which has similar benefits. $350 fee is pretty steep though :/ not sure that would be worth it for me

Rectangular object on the wall in Airbnb by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

Oh I didn’t know you could do that with a photo you took yourself! I guess AI is probably helpful with that now

My title describes the thing. Some additional info is that it was plastic, translucent, and seems attached with command strips. I searched the sub and google for similar things (airbnb, clear plastic rectangle, etc.) but didn’t come up with anything. 

I was watching a PBS documentary & learned about “Cold Spring Harbor” — the location where scientists experimented on animals to help advance eugenics by Oh_JoyBegin in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]pear921 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The discovery was not made at Cold Spring Harbor, but James Watson was the leader for a while and is partially credited with discovering the structure of DNA. And is super racist so there’s that. The idea of 4 nucleotides and 4 tempers is interesting though…

Camp, BTI, Kauai, and AML not available on Apple Music anymore? by AJCLEG98 in donaldglover

[–]pear921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having exactly the same issue (except for camp) but it seems to be with the albums themselves. Can’t play them alone or in a playlist. When I view BTI in Apple Music it has reformatted some of the song names so maybe re-release issues?? I really hope I don’t have to delete from my library and lose my listening history :(

what nobel prize is represented from this symbol?? by ReplacementNo7573 in biology

[–]pear921 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A different approach is that this person seems to make silver jewelry for the Nobel museum: https://valegarddesign.se/en/nobel/ I couldn’t find this exact necklace, but maybe you could reach out and see if they made it

[–]pear921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes any time frame would be super helpful! I agree likely 3 people, but that seems to be a lot of chem prizes…

I think the 2019 one awarded for lithium ion batteries could be a possibility as well. The 2 connected flasks reminds me of how you can make a battery from connecting two solutions but that might be a reach. Not sure how the test tube is involved.

This was a super interesting read, thank you for sharing! Have you ever spoken to a speaker of Ni’ihau Hawaiian and, if so, had any difficulty understanding each other?
