AFTER trying to deal with it internally, and documenting everything, if its still a problem, you could try leaving an anonymous review on google/whatever. Don’t call him out by name but do call him out by room number.

Show this to a person from 1900 and other than the plastic, nothing has changed.

My pixel 6 is also still functioning perfectly fine. I’m hoping all the AI bullshit that Google is trying to shove into the new pixels fades out in a few years and then I’ll upgrade.

I don’t know about local requirements in the UK but testing now in the US, yes old.reddit.com allows access to NSFW subs without a login

“Y’all” and the plural “all y’all” are part of my daily vocabulary. And I’m in no way of southern origin.

Hard disagree. People age very differently, depending on how well they take care of themselves. I know plenty of people I their 70s who are still fully capable of driving.

Implementint a driving test at 70 does make sense.

mine went out in July in Phoenix, AZ. The 3rd closest Ace had 1 in stock for my unit.

I’ve been loving it. You’ll want a journal or something to make notes as you go. Steam notes work great if you have a keyboard but for the deck you’ll probably want something physical.

I am in biotech in the US (currently in infectious disease monitoring, previously in cancer diagnostics). I’m going to assume you are in the US for this answer.

As long as you are willing to live in/near a biotech hub, there will be plenty of opportunities. These cities include Boston, San Fransisco, Denver, or any city that has a well respected research university (Duke, Ohio State, etc). If you choose to stay in academia, that opens up even more locations. There are many thousands of options outside of Monsanto. Depending on the area of the country you pick, you may start out in the 50-80k range, but it won’t take long to make over 100k a year.

…XcQ, I have to assume it is.

What I do specifically is called wastewater based epidemiology. While the term has been around for a few decades, it really took off in concordance with COVID. Previous PCR techniques like qPCR are heavily inhibited by co-elutors from wastewater extract. We use digital PCR which is way more resistant to inhibition due to the partitioning. We are using cutting edge technology and our R&D dept is constantly looking into additional targets we can test for. As a company we also do some non-pcr-based wastewater testing (drugs of abuse by LC/MS is a big one).

Additionally we also do next gen sequencing to track the COVID variants in communities.

I manage an infectious disease monitoring lab in industry. Pay’s a whole lot better out here, and my team is amazing and self-driven so I can do minimal people managing.

Easy. Get a bigger pot.

I’ve been using smart tube on my fireTV for about 6 months now and it’s amazing. No ads, so many playback options that YouTube doesn’t offer, built in sponsor block is a godsend.

Lots of great advice here. I’ll 2nd the YouTube as a resource. I’ve repaired AC units, a garbage disposal, and replaced the damn water heater all from an hour or 2 of research and watching YouTube.

Also keep a note book that you jot down the seldom done stuff, like blowing out sprinklers, which furnace filter size you need, etc.

Anything you buy for home improvement, from new cabinet handles to drywall, get an emailed receipt and put it in a special folder/tag that you can find again when you sell. Those dollars spent are tax deductible when you sell your house.

Builder’s grade = cheapest shit they can buy in bulk.

Enjoy your new house!

You may be interested in Aska. It asks the question “what if valheim was also a colony sim?”. It’s a bit less chill then Stardew/Portia, but it is a classless, moneyless community building game.

No clue. I tried to Google the article but to no avail.

I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

Ryobi garden tools are legit. I have the 40V string trimmer and 40V mower, and an 18V leaf blower, and so far I have no complaints. I once heard someone say that Ryobi tools are R&D for Milwaukee (as they are the same parent company).

My shop tools are all DeWalt because that’s what my parents and wife’s parents bought us for gifts.

10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.
