Need help getting cleaner gel for quantification: why are my bands so smeared? by SiriusAlphaCMain biology

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa[S] 1 point2 points ago

haha. So I think you were mostly right. I reduced the concentration, diluted with 1x LB. The ladder was still overloaded... but that wasn't my concern.

thanks,

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa[S] 2 points3 points ago*

here's the details:

1% agrose gel TAE for both the gel and the buffer

these are digested product, NEB buffer 3, with the restriction enzyme still there. maybe 833ng dissolved in 10ul of 1x loading buffer (originally came in at 6x LD) 1.5mm, x 4 mm wells, by maybe 7mm depth

90 v over a running distance of 10 cm, with bromo blue running to about 80% of length. total electrode distance is about 16cm.

When we die of old age, is there any part of us that persists from when we were born? by GeneralGonzoin askscience

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa 6 points7 points ago

"A cell that's older than 14 years" is not a particularly applicable idea here. All cells come from the initial one-cell zygote... in that sense, all cells are as old as you are.

Do you "reset" the age button when cells divide? Or do you count the age since the cell last comes from the last most-multipotent stem cell, hematopoietic stem cell?

How many URAP units should I take? by z5z5z5z5in berkeley

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa 1 point2 points ago

i should have qualify that this is for the additional semester.

The official policy is that your penultimate semester needs to be under the unit cap. If you work and have just 6 units per semester, then you can stay in Berkeley for 10+ years. (130/6 /2 >10)

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa 1 point2 points ago

As few as possible, assuming that you are probably on the over-achieving end, since you are in URAP. This is especially true if you have those AP credit-with-benefits. Real units only serve to trigger the school to kick you out. You leave options open for yourself if you have fewer units. That said, it also doesn't matter if you want to leave the school early.

well, that's the political organization of the state / government. There are no inherent rights reserved for sub-state authorities. Unlike the federal-state relationship, the state-local gov't relationship is completely lopsided, with the state granting powers to local gov't.

in re-reading their message.. actually, I think it's not very clear what they are getting at. But I think it's not very clear what the alleged 99% really want anyways. Or at least what that fraction wants doesn't have one simple solution addressing one obvious grievance.

I don't think you understand the message. It is saying how people are not just upset at the idiosyncratic tax rates but also at the government's action in general, which was, for example, bailing out banks that originally caused the crisis.

You are working with the assumption that redditors believe all invisible things are real.

I don't believe redditors believe things just because they are invisible.

How Do I Make Friends? by AmLonelyin AskReddit

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa 1 point2 points ago

Dear AmLonely,

Treasure every opportunity you have here. It wasn't that long ago that I was in school myself... and a regret that I had was that I didn't really appreciate high school as it was... or at least didn't learn to appreciate it until it was too late.

Take it as a chance to learn what you like... what you enjoy... what you are good at. Have a social life, but be grounded in who you are. Learn what drives you. Learn about the people around you... just do it. Don't worry about being rejected, but get to know everyone in your class. Start with people's names. Ask them about their families. Interests. Hobbies.

You will take what you learn here to college.

Good luck.

I think what you are thinking of is OCPD... the rather-common desire to see evenness / perfection is not so irrationally overwhelming that it inhibits most of our normal day-to-day function.

I think there's been a changing consensus on whether we should add spaces between different parts of these translated names. Alternatively, there may never have been a consensus at all.

Ok question to redditors, if you were 1,000,000 feet in the air, would you still be on earth or in space? by Silverbulletsin reddit.com

[–]SiriusAlphaCMa 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

1 000 000 feet = 304.8 kilometers

LEO (low earth orbit) is between 160–2,000 km (100–1,240 miles), wikipedia

The International Space Station is in a LEO that varies from 320 km (199 mi) to 400 km (249 mi) above the Earth's surface.

So you are mostly in space.
