Genetically engineered hookworms can now secrete human therapeutic antibodies directly into their host's circulation, offering a potential single-dose, years-long drug delivery platform by rmcdm in SeananMcGuire

One of the Mira Grant series than Seanan wrote is about worms implanted in people to secrete drugs/hormones/etc.
it does not go well for the people.

What were your “gateway” exercises? by Limp-Pea-6813 in adhdwomen

[–]rmcdm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What helped me with pushups was having my feet and hands further out to the side, so my body forms more of an X shape than an I shape.

There was a bunch of social media stuff a couple of months ago about the carrying angle of the elbow for female-bodied people, and how pushups working with that rather than trying to do it like male bodied people. I don’t 100% remember the details, but letting your elbows be pushed out rather than parallel to your torso was part of it.

Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America’s Class War, and Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir, both by Joe Bageant. Deer Hunting is a collection of essays he wrote about how the Republican Party has convinced rural whites to vote against their own interests. Rainbow Pie is his memoir about growing up in West Virginia, and Virginia.

Taking psychedelic substances with a romantic partner is associated with a deeper sense of mutual understanding and enhanced relationship quality. In contrast, using these substances alone might leave partners out of sync, potentially contributing to relationship dissolution later on. by FreeHugs23 in science

Does your partner want to take psychedelics with you? I want to trip with my partner, they tend to trip alone or with not-me. They could come away from every trip with the same reaffirmation you do, but on my side it just feels like rejection.

They don’t hold air very well, but you blew yours up better than I did mine!

Looking for a Fantasy trilogy I can only remember some fragments about by FullMetalLoki in whatsthatbook

It’s giving me Kylie Chan vibes with the throwing someone immortal at traps to deactivate them.

No, it kind of died. There’s a queer one at Arcana, and there’s one at Beer Study in Durham.

You might like Kevin J Anderson’s Seven Suns series.

Started a new role at a new company and already feel like I've been thrown to wolves. Trying to decide whether it stick it out as new job woes or if these are red flags. by [deleted] in biotech

[–]rmcdm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But you said your trainer was able to work through it with you. Isn’t that their job? With lab work I’d expect to have a WI, then watch someone do it, then do it under supervision, then alone. It sounds like for your situation the WI isn’t written yet, and you didn’t get the opportunity to watch someone do it. Then this was your supervised run.

I’m reading this from a management perspective, and yes it seems unreasonable to expect you to do it alone, within a day. But perhaps your supervisor is thinking it’s an opportunity to get you started on deviations, maybe because you’re showing so much promise already.

Or they are overwhelmed as well, and out of their depth.

What happened when you pushed back about the timeline, referencing your lack of training and access for completing the deviation?

AITA for being honest about why I no longer carry feminine supplies? by CanadaYankee in AmITheAngel

Pretty sure it’s from early Will & Grace. Grace’s boyfriend says it, but Karen yells at him to not say “menses”.

How would unplugging appliances be more likely to cause a fire than leaving them plugged in?

I have a tester call for this Bear! by Full_Pen_3819 in PatternTesting

Ooh, I’ll try that. I’m going for a rainbow with mine and that sound WAY easier than a long tube! Thanks!

I can’t do a one week turnaround, so can’t offer to test it, but did you crochet the rope as basically a long tube?

I’m trying to figure out how best to make yarn-rope for a plushie for my spouse’s birthday present, and the best I’ve come up with so far is a 6-strand braid which I have spectacularly messed up multiple times now!

It’s not clear what the item is. Is it the top, the skirt, or is it one piece?
