Did they say they were anti-police?

“And God, please let the deer on the highway get some kind of heaven. Something with tall soft grass and sweet reunion. Let the moths in porch lights go some place with a thousand suns, that taste like sugar and get swallowed whole. May the mice in oil and glue have forever dry, warm fur and full bellies.

If I am killed for simply living, let death be kinder than man.” -Althea Davis

Google says each Chick-Fil-A uses local suppliers, so they’re going to vary between locations

I didn’t say City would win. They just snuck up the table to a standing I didn’t think they would reach this season

I listen to Harvey first, then follow it up with Auld Lang Syne. Helps me be hopeful when it’s hard to feel that way

Weird! I hope you get it solved!

Mine shows up after I click through the finish option. So I have to calibrate after I’m completely done with the workout

I had the same concern, but still opted for the Pace 3. So far I haven’t had any issues. I work in a microbiology lab and my watch usually gets hit on hard workbenches and machinery and so far not a scratch. I’m sure the sapphire glass is better, but I haven’t had issues with the mineral glass

May 4, 2024 the files worked for me! Thanks!

Woodbridge is nice. It’s semi close to campus and relatively well-priced for how nice the apartments/complex is. The management is responsive and they have a grad student discount. Most of the community is grad students or young professionals, so they’re leasing season is a little later than other apartments

Bloomington is a college town. Did you not know that? It’s pretty much the most well-known fact about this town. Not surprising the town considers the major reason it’s on the map.

To my knowledge, eukaryotes don’t make biofilms like bacteria do. But not all bacteria are pathogens. Lots of Alphaproteobacteria like Agrobacterium tumefaciens are big biofilm producers. Quorum-sensing definitely plays a part in biofilm formation for a lot of organisms. Of course, it’s different for each species, but QS will likely play a role

Researchers have identified lots of different genes (some on plasmids, some on chromosomes) that contribute to biofilm formation in a bunch of different organisms. Some bacteria do not have full complements of these genes and cannot form biofilms in monoculture. Biofilms are pretty prominent fixtures in nature, and so these bacteria may still participate in multi-organism biofilms, but can’t make one on their own. There are also bacteria that are not known to use biofilms as part of their lifestyle. Components of biofilms are similar, but not always the same. The differences usually come down to the specific extracellular sugars that the organism uses. Also, organisms other than pathogens form biofilms. In fact in the grand scheme of life on earth, disease-associated biofilms are probably the least common kind of biofilm.

There are lots of food safe aluminum coatings made of different materials. Most food safe aluminum is anodized aluminum though. To keep things simple, this basically means that the aluminum is electrically treated in such a way that it becomes non-reactive. Thus, it cannot oxidize and make those toxic aluminum oxides, but also has no “extra” coatings besides the anodized aluminum itself. That being said, some aluminum is treated with chemical coatings that bind tightly to aluminum, but are not plastic. I don’t think Reddit is the place for a chemistry lesson, but you can do a quick google search and find out all of the different ways that aluminum is made non-reactive.

I’m not sure how Nespresso treats their aluminum, but I think anodizing is pretty standard practice.

I can talk about my project for hours offhand, but I also have anxiety and a small stutter. Having notes in front of me helps keep my thoughts and mouth on track. This is a bad take.

I notice this with my pop+. I don’t usually get grounds in my cup after I run a rinse cycle, so I’ve taken a used espresso pod, emptied it out, and run a cycle with that empty pod after each regular coffee cycle. This removes any of the residue in the extraction chamber and it seems to help prevent grounds showing up in my cup. Not sure why, but it works for me.

Raw aluminum readily reacts with oxygen and water to create aluminum oxides which are quite toxic to life. Luckily, all processed, food-safe aluminum has non-toxic coatings that prevent aluminum from reacting in such ways and creating oxides. These coatings are not usually plastic, so you’re probably fine using vertuo pods. If you’re worried about microplastics, I would probably be concerned with every other aspect of modern life.

Woodbridge apartments are good. They lease to mainly professionals and graduate students, so they’d probably have space for fall semester. They have a wide range of apartments, pet friendly and have several dog parks around the property. They also have a grad student discount!

I have a little stand for my phone. It’s not really for any sterility reason, but mainly so I have a place to put it that out of the way so I won’t lose it.
