The doc said to eat when taking my amoxicillin/potassium for my ear infection to prevent nausea. Since I don't normally eat breakfast I thought "a cup of coffee and one Quest peanut butter cup should be enough." I was wrong.  Hopefully my stomach settles before I hike Mt. Tabor with fellow goon Crosshatch.

Air Skwirl posted:This is in no way meant to be a defense of Hastert or anything, the man deserves to burn in hell, but I thought it was a weird case of a sex criminal only doing it a couple times then deciding it wasn't for him and didn't repeat? Nah, he abused at least 4 boys as young as 9 or 10 over the course of at least a decade or so, and paid multiple millions of dollars in hush money to various victims. The upstanding members of the GOP political establishment wrote 60 letters of support saying that aside from the sex abuse and insider trading and other illegal acts, Hastert was a really wonderful guy so he only got sentenced to 15 months in a federal hospital facility, and he served 13 months. Then he got sued and lost a few more millions in a bunch of civil cases by the victims. Much like Gym Jordan, Hastert got into coaching wrestling for the opportunities to molest that are afforded such a position, and then went into political power for the opportunities to steal money that position affords. He went into congress with a net worth of $270k and left with a net worth of $11+ million. LOL.

I'm sort of dreading my MSW program because I've developed a deep contempt for the specific kind of academic writing that my coursework will demand from me. I'm never loving going back to school after this. I am/was a kinda lovely grad student but the trade off was that I didnt have the constants stress/advisor hate most others get. Took a little longer to defend that I anticipated but everything worked out in the end. My advisor ran a pretty loose ship which worked out for me. Of course, I now realize I don't like chemistry as much as I thought I did job hunting sucks

No savescums, clearly there's poo poo you missed or didn't do, the outcome wasn't maybe what you were hoping for. But that's how it goes. It's also such an emotional gutpunch of a game I'm not sure I really want to experience it a second time.

Pron on VHS posted:I couldn’t even get past high school chemistry. The concept of a “mole” was so mystifying It's like a dozen, but much much larger. Shorthand for a number essentially. Kurgarra Queen posted:I have a friend who got a Masters in Chem and recently left the field after 10 years. Hates working in the field, is looking into doing literally anything else because corps response to unsafe workplace practices, literally impossible expected turn-around times on some chemicals and broken fume hoods is basically "Quit whining, you baby bitch." Prevention isn't profitable, or at least it's difficult to frame as profitable on a balance sheet. I also haven't had a bench position since 2015 so I don't know the state of affairs today. pmchem posted:chemistry chat: you guys would love sundae's pharma stories in BFC corporate thread. What do you think got me through the semester or two where I realized I was going to fail out of a PhD, no matter how many hours I put into my research?

I went to school for mechanical engineering for a year (flunked out) and stayed in the engineering dormitory, and the chemical engineering students were by far the weirdest of the engineering students. I think I would have had a better chance of staying in that school if I took civil or electrical engineering instead.

So Cyberpunk is really easy to accidentally get to the end without building yourself up a lot. I should have taken more side jobs. All these people online with swords for arms and poo poo and I've upgraded at the ripperdoc only twice? They made it seem like this was a pressing need to get Johnny out of my head and as it turns out I should have been lollygagging all over the place.

What are the TFF Chat Thread-approved refrigerator brands? Ours isn't keeping cold anymore and if it's the compressor (which I guess is a known issue with this model) then it's more cost-effective to just buy a new fridge even though this one isn't that old.

Blowjob Overtime posted:Refrigerators are a crapshoot with no real standout like Bosch dishwashers. LG is in the group of "pretty good" brands that don't have an increased likelihood to breakdown, which is about the best you can hope for. The ones from about 10 years ago advertise that 10 year warranty on whatever part, but don't mention that covers the relatively cheap part but not the labor. Blowjob Overtime posted:Consumer Reports refrigerator reliability rankings not exactly helping to make things clearer. In the article it did mention LG having a higher likelihood of linear compressor failures, but then has it tied for most reliable, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Further discussion after these did point out it's impossible to rate actual reliability on a brand new product, so the "predicted reliability" scores are based on recent history.

I have a Sub-Zero and while it's great in most cases, the "ice builds up and blocks the excess water from draining so water pools under the crisper" issue is an absolutely bonkers design choice.

This seems to be a problem with a lot of fridges as my Samsung as the exact same problem. I've had to pull everything out and clean out that drain twice now and I think I need to do it again. It's not a big deal now that I know how to do it, but it's like an hour of pull everything out, take back panel apart, get hair dryer to help speed things up, and then put it all back together again. More of a nuisance than anything, but gently caress it's annoying once I notice it's a problem.
