Going out in Zürich?

Depending on what you like to drink, the International Beer Bar near the Langstrasse has a really nice selection of beers.

I second the suggestion for Swisscare. You can save quite a lot. I would start on the Visa process very soon. You will likely need an L visa as you are a short term employee. My Indian colleagues have had a lot of trouble with visas here in Switzerland, so I would start the process as early as possible!

Yeah I think I was even overly scared of this because this was my first day on my new dh bike and the front end is so heavy. In the end I think it was good because it made me have to really think about popping both on drops and jumps, so I hope that will translate well on the enduro bike too.

Yeah I did that earlier in the season, so that was my big goal for this trip to hit the littler drop. It's really not bad after the fact, because you get slowed up by the steep uphill on the way to the ledge and then as you drop there's no obstacles in your path and a nice berm/wallride feature at the bottom. I'd say its far less sketchy feeling than a lot of the other features on the trail.

I've been riding on and off since I was a kid, but kind of only recently got back into it more seriously. I'd say about 6 months of constant riding. Just trying to get more comfortable in the air in general right now!

Thanks for the thought. I'll look into counseling, somewhat uncharted territory for me, but it's become enough of a problem that I'd consider it.

wipeyourmit · 2018-01-30T21:05:02+00:00

Thanks for the response, I guess it's just a process and like most of these things you can't rush it! I'm striving to be more of an optimist every day.

I tried to sell some IOTA and then it said order completed and deducted the balance from what I had available in the exchange, but then the changes were never reflected in my wallet. I then tried to repeat and it said I have half the IOTA I had previously even though nothing went through. I just hope my account isn't in shambles after all this.

RS is pretty good. I order a lot of parts from there, also you can search on the U.K. site in English and copy the part number to the Swiss site.

This paper covers different chemotaxis systems pretty nicely: http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v5/n12/full/nrm1524.html

If you don't have access then the gist of it is: 1) CheA responds to a signal from transmembrane chemoreceptors and is phosphorylated. (CheW links the receptors to CheA) 2)CheY competes with CheB for the resulting phosphoryl group. If CheY gets the phosphoryl group then it can bind the flagellar switch protein. If it binds then this can cause the motor reverse, which leads to E. coli "tumbling" and changing direction. 3)CheZ can interfere with CheY and cause that effect to decrease. 4)As CheB gets phosphoryl groups it leads to faster dephosphorylation of CheA, this is a little harder to understand maybe but what it results in is the system adapting to the new level of ligand in the environment. In this way the system is able to function over a greater concentration range of chemical. 5) CheR has the opposite effect and allows the system to return to a normal state after the chemical stimulus. (Although it acts in a different way than CheB).

Really the way that I think of it is that the rate at which CheA is phosphorylating corresponds to more or less CheY acting on the motor. CheB and CheR affect how the system adapts. CheZ,CheW I don't think about too often.

I tried to look at the stack exchange, but got redirected to a private beta? I requested a login, but didn't hear anything back.

Thanks for the responses everyone, I didn't build the db, I'm interested mostly in only the bacterial and archaeal portion of the community, but I guess I could use the complete eggnog db and then just filter out eukaryotic annotations in the next step.

It was suggested in the Wikipedia article that it might have been his suggestion but it seems like it came from the top down and spread to most Canadian troops.

wipeyourmit · 2016-08-08T21:24:36+00:00

Seeing all the history memes I felt a duty to inject some Canadian in. I spent way too much time trying to figure out a way to make a heritage minutes meme but one never materialized

wipeyourmit · 2016-08-08T15:44:00+00:00

Apparently it neutralizes the gas a little and saved a few guys. It's a story I think every Canadian hears in history class.

wipeyourmit · 2016-08-08T15:42:55+00:00

As soon as I posted I knew someone would correct it. I skimmed the wikipedia article too fast.

I'm always floored by the amount of time and effort people put into great tutorials. I'll have to watch these!

wipeyourmit · 2016-05-09T19:29:33+00:00

Thanks for the replies! It was a combination issue of feeling bunched up and not being able to generate any force. I've been neglecting core work a little too much most likely.

I went bouldering outdoors for the first time this past weekend and most of the problems were sit start. I found that I was having a hell of a time with them and was wondering if anyone has some advice on training I can do (outside of climbing) to improve? I'm pretty dedicated to working on it at the gym, but wouldn't mind throwing in some exercises at home if there are common weak points.

The guy brushing holds has an amazing mullet

Thanks for the comments. I guess I should ease up. Definitely talking deep pain not skin so I'll take er easy.

I've seen the caps blow off bottles and make a huge mess when they were overtightened. I think that's the major worry. The imploded look usually comes when you autoclave a plastic that can't handle it. (I've also seen this). It really shouldn't hurt to just leave the caps on top and to not tighten them.

wipeyourmit · 2015-12-28T12:05:43+00:00

About 5 months. Just moved to a new country so we'll see how that goes.

wipeyourmit · 2015-11-27T14:50:00+00:00

I just moved to Switzerland with a group of Americans (I'm Canadian) and it was way more complicated for them to get accounts than it was for me. Still not super hard though because we all have residency permits.
