It's a fun medium! I have no place at home to do it, so I do it in classes :)

I am currently trying to move these data to an automatically backed up server drive.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. Commiserations on the animal issues. It's such a gut punch. Hang in there!

I can't do takeout because shared drives doesn't allow it, and many folders are significantly larger than my storage in my own drive. So if I try to move it, it causes all sorts of issues.

I wish I knew about this before I started using a shared drive for my lab, but I was new to Google suites 🫠 🧪

You've already got lots of advice, but generally, yes. I've used antibodies kept at -20C from the 90s well into the late 2010s without issue. Only one way to find out!

Yours is much classier. I guess I prefer the camp approach. It's silly, and it has got me through some tough times.

Instead of, you know, imposter syndrome (boo!).

Then it cuts to Shannel and her very confidently saying "I am amazed at myself". But in the show it was edited as overconfident/tongue-in-cheek. Not deserved.

But Shannel is truly that bitch! So I keep it on my desk to remind myself I'm doing well and to channel Shannel-level confidence 😊

They're doing the challenge, and it cuts to team member #1 saying "I suck. I'm doing awful. I don't know what's going on. I'm the worst"

Then it cuts to #2 who says "Ok, I'm doing well, but I have to keep it up! I can't fuck it up!"

This is a drag queen named Shannel. She was given the very first "delusional queen" edit on RuPauls drag race because she was very confident. This is a screengrab from an episode where she was in a team.
