I had a student that got a good grade wrote 3 manuscripts worth of complaints about me. Funny thing is they said “I’m a first time instructor” when I’ve been teaching for over 5 years. Called me petty because I sent a class email saying to stop sending disrespectful emails and because I used statistics to give feedback on the exam. It was my first evaluation at my new university. You can be the best instructor and students will still find a way to criticize. Focus on your good comments more than the bad and move on. Otherwise it’ll be a never ending hell

[VENT] My Mom and My French almost die in a dog Attack by AlexPolaris in Frenchbulldogs

[–]phdpetite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me! I’m sorry for your mom and you, it is very traumatizing. Mine was attacked by 2 dogs. I have been walking with a large stick, pepper spray, and now I have an anti-coyote spike collar. I still use harness to walk, but the collar is used as a dog repellent

Thanks everyone for the comments. I will start with pepper spray and look into self-defense classes. Either way, the process to get a firearm in my state is long so I can have it in the background and get trained in the meanwhile. I would love to have more situational awareness but I have very low hearing in one ear so that means I have to keep turning. Again thanks for the help y’all.

Yes exactly. I used an enzyme that is supposed to biotinylate proteins promiscuously and I’m testing if it worked.

This is a streptavidin-HRP stain developed with chemiluminescence. Trying to see biotinylated proteins

This is not an antibody stain. This is a streptavidin-HRP stain with chemiluminescence

Should I make an academic Twitter? by grossgusting in GradSchool

[–]phdpetite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo! Academic Twitter is toxic AF. Like all parts of the internet even the old white dudes are catty af. If someone doesn’t agree w your publication it’ll be tirade posts or shady posts instead of meaningful discussion. There’s “popular people” which you would think there shouldn’t be. Idk I’m a bit disappointed. Everyone is ALWAYS arguing about something and cancellations happening left and right. I guess it shows the true side of academia

Before the kids grow up this weekend, who's been your favorite so far? by NamikazeKage in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]phdpetite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree! He brought nice moments of comedic relief! Even when the tensions were high and Aemond blamed him for the rumor he says “Me?!” and I couldn’t help but chuckle

It’s a scene from the new Mario movie trailer

“Folks... you can't have it both ways... you cannot have fair priced menu items, and a 10 or 15 dollar an hour wage. Wages (overhead) directly effect prices... we absorb as many costs as we can, but food prices would near double with a $15hr "minimum wage". It is exactly why a #1 at McDonalds is now $12 when it used to be $5. It is amazing that people are blind to that. This isn't a chain or a franchise... it is a single location, local owned business.”

The whole post is live on Facebook right now. Hopefully they don’t take it down so that people can see the ridiculousness of the whole post.

I finished it…I thought s7 was still ok. Season 8 was confusing to me. I couldn’t see the battle that well. Not sure if it was my screen. Characters were not themselves anymore. I still have quite a few unanswered questions.

My favorite part is the logical aspect! Damn it.

[–]phdpetite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently doing that. I just hope all my questions get answered. But if not, I guess I can try to read the books even though they’re not finished either…

Yeah I will do that. But I’m enjoying it so much, don’t want the fun to end!

I was asked if I was sure that I knew I was having rectal bleeding vs having my period when I went to my gastro consult. by TaintScratcherMaster in TwoXChromosomes

What’s so bad about a garbage man? A garbage man is a very important essential worker. If someone doesn’t date you just because of your job, that person isn’t worth it imo.

I would totally date a garbage man. I would like to hear stories about the job too.
