My wife and I just started playing it, so far no issues.

My first Ghibli movie. Will definitely make an effort to go

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.

Yep. Smart tube on the TV, Firefox + ubo on phone and laptop.

I was thinking Warcraft 3 instead of WoW, since a WC3 mod spawned the entire genre (MOBA) and that genre brought esports from backwater to front and center. & Of course WoW came from WC3.

I sold my '08 forrester in 2020, and when I was cleaning it out, I found a MapQuest printout from my parents house to my girlfriend’s university.

…XcQ, I have to assume it is.

MapQuest out here trying to meme their way back into relevance.

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.

One of my 2025 goals is to learn to draw well, and I’ve been making slow, steady progress at that. My goals are 2-fold - make quality drawings of furniture for my other new hobby, woodworking - and draw cursed shit that is disturbing to friends and family alike. Here’s a texture study I did yesterday in about an hour.

Water heater repair?

Just make sure the gas if off before you touch it, and maybe don’t light a match right away.

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.

Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.

We watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent last night. Perfectly on par for a Nic Cage movie, but Pedro Pascal is the one who made the movie worth it.

I started with liftoff then moved to connect. Has all the stuff I was used to with RIF.

This is the way. Just make sure to disable the YouTube app on your phone so links people send you don’t open in the app.

High-finctioning ADHD maybe? I loved her life size benchy video.

Split fiction looks super cool!

“how do you turn this on” and “to smithereens” will live rent free in my head for life
