I am testing some liquids for the presence of reducing and non reducing sugars.
The liquids have been measured to have a specific gravity of 1.058 and 1.072 and 1.010 against controls
They are liquids that have been expelled from a mushroom fruiting block.
When we do a benedicts reagent to to confirm the presence of sugars, there is a slight change in colour for the 1.072 sample and a larger change in colour from the 1.058 and little to non In the 1.010.
The 1.058 and 1.072 however seem to put out a white precipitate which is unusual.
We have tried centrifuge and its the same.
It's not benedicts quantitative reagent, just a regular reagent.
What could the white precipitate be an indicator off?

These are all I've done in terminal. I'm using opensuse tumbleweed in docker.

I can't figure out how to solve this. Can I get some help with this?

Hey everyone! I'm aiming to become a content manager, but I'm feeling a bit unsure about my skills. I have a background in various areas of digital marketing, but I need some advice to boost my confidence. Here's a brief overview of my experience:

• 5 months as a social media manager for my own business (learned content creation and basic SMM skills).
• 2-month internship at a digital marketing agency (worked on in-house content as a copywriter but didn't work with clients directly).
• 2 weeks as a contractual website copywriter (worked on a single site with multiple pages).
• Worked as a front-end developer assistant (learned website copy, design, development, content management, and SEO optimization).

Recently, I applied for a creative VA role, but the employer suggested I consider applying for a content manager position in their team. I really want to try my best to secure this role, but I need your help.
Here are my questions: - What skills do I need for this role? I've found varying requirements across different agencies. - What tools should I be familiar with that you use? - What kind of tests can I expect during the application process? -Is anyone willing to mentor me and provide guidance during the test? Can we practice together, so you can send me some sample tests and provide feedback on my output? (Willing to pay mentorship fee :))
Thanks for your help and support, everyone! I appreciate any advice you can offer to help me 🙏

Hi, So I'm 29w pregnant with my 2nd. I went for a growth scan at 28w and everything was great baby wise, they did urine sample and it came back with leu+. I've been worried about this but no-one actually told me this flagged up, I found out on badger notes. I don't have any symptoms of uti or anything other than needing a wee and not being able to fully go (but idk if baby is sat on my bladder).
I called midwife so should hear back in a few days but I'm not counting on it. I feel like if it was urgent then someone would have called me to get Me some antibiotics or something? Do I call the Dr's or just wait it out and see how things go?
Edit to add: I had a midwife appointment the day before the growth scan where they tested my urine and it came back clean - NAD (nothing abnormal detected)
Thanks!

I m a 30M, who one afternoon on 4/15, went to use the bathroom and saw discharge coming from the tip of my penis after squeezing it. The next morning on 4/16 I went to a reputable family clinic located in Da Nang, Vietnam and saw a doctor who said it might be gonorriha or Chlamydia. He examined my penis then gave me two 500mg tablets of AZITHROMYCIN and a needle in my ass cheek of CEFTRIAXONE.
The next morning, I woke up and my penis was swollen and the discharge was white. I went back to see him and he assured me everything looked normal. I was very impatient waiting for my STD results because I told it would take 3 days to get back, so I went to a different lab and provided a urine sample. I was hoping to get it sooner. I received both results back on 4/18 and they were negative.
The time in between getting tested and getting results back I’ve experienced discharge (dry stains in my boxers through the day), redness at the tip, it stings when I pee (sometimes worse after I pee), somewhat swollen foreskin, and a lil bit of blood when I wipe the time sometimes.
Speaking of blood, I went to go take a shit and as I began to pee I had to push really hard to urine. When I got up, I noticed a good amount of blood in toilet bowl (it felt like I pushed out a kidney stone, although I never had one before) So now I m really concerned. I didn’t test positive for anything, yet I m having these crazy symptoms. Could anyone shed some light, this subreddit has helped calm my nerves a lot from afar but was wondering if anyone had any feedback for me as I leave for the States today.

I ordered a blood testing kit from medichecks and my mum accidentally fucking opened it and I have no idea how to explain it.
I told her I "just wanted to do one" because I couldn't think of anything to say. She needed to go to work, but wants to talk about it when she gets back. She focused a lot on how expensive it is and "who is gonna take the sample?" So maybe she's not gonna ask me about why I've got it, but that's probably just wishful thinking.
Please help, I don't know what to do.

Hello all, today I would like to try something I haven't seen yet. Through my few months in fountainpens, I have seen a few people looking to take on trying to service/restore vintage pens themselves but didn't want to go all in for all the materials. So I thought maybe such people would be interested in a DIY kit for servicing/restoring one pen to try out first.
I decided to try this with Esterbrook SJ's as they are fairly hardy and out of the model J's, I find they have the easiest to remove grip section

Esterbrook SJ's (D for vintage)

Blue: A bit dirty, needs cleaning
Green: Very good condition, still has intact sac
Grey: Good condition
DIY kit contents:
Tiny sample container of sac shellac, a few disposable applicators, a new ink sac (silicone or latex, I'll default to silicone if you have no preference), tiny sample container with a smidge of talc, nib of choice.
Notes:
I have examined each pen and confirmed an intact and functioning J-bar. (If it had an ossified ink sac, I took it out, checked the bar, and then put it back in so you can have the full experience)
I have tested each nib for flow.
Unfortunately, the kit is CONUS only as I do not know if I can ship shellac internationally. However, if you just want the pen or if you want a serviced one, international shipping is probably $20.

Prices (cumulative)

$45 Shipped for pen & kit (+$1 for latex sac)
+$1 2ml Koh-I-Noor rapido-eze (pen cleaner solution{you probably don't need it, but if you wanted to try some})
+$3/4ml ink sample
+$5 Cleaning
+$5 Servicing
+$10 Full restoration/refurbishing (polish and all that)
{add-ons may take a few days}

Nib writing samples (The first 9668 is unavailable)

{Less functioning nibs also available for those who want a challenge}

The following are my notes, though I find it difficult to tell the difference between scratchiness and feedback when it comes to the tipless nibs.
9461: Feedbacky
2556: Very scratchy
2668: A little scratchy but also has feedback? (feels like a pencil)
9668: unavailable
9668: Exceptional flow
9668: Dry
9556: Nice flow
2550: Pencily, dry
2550: Pencily, wet
9556: A bit dry
9556: Wet
9450: Dry
1551: Pencily/wet
I also have a bunch with bent/misaligned tines, flow problems, missing/chipped tipping, or some other problem available if someone also wants to do nib repair.

CLASSIC WHITES AND CREAMS

These timeless colors provide a clean and bright foundation for your kitchen, making it feel light, airy, and inviting.

SOPHISTICATED GRAYS

Gray cabinets offer a touch of modern elegance and can complement various design styles, from sleek and minimalist to warm and inviting. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for homeowners. Lighter shades of gray can provide a similar brightness boost as white cabinets, while darker grays can add drama and sophistication. Gray cabinets also pair well with a wide range of countertop colors and materials, from cool marble to warm wood tones.

WARM WOODS

Wood tones bring a natural warmth and beauty to your kitchen, creating a sense of timeless elegance and organic connection to the outdoors. From the rich, dark tones of walnut to the light and airy hues of maple, there’s a wood stain to perfectly complement your design vision. Wood cabinets can also be paired with painted finishes for a unique two-toned look.

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

Don’t be afraid to explore bolder colors like navy blue or emerald green to create a statement kitchen. These colors can add a touch of personality and drama and work surprisingly well in various kitchens. For a truly unique look, consider two-toned cabinets with a bold color on the island or lower cabinets and a lighter color on the upper cabinets.

THINK ABOUT THE LIGHTING

LOTS OF NATURAL LIGHT

Lighting plays a crucial role in how colors appear in your kitchen. Natural light can make colors look brighter, while artificial lighting can alter the hue and intensity. Always test paint samples in your kitchen at different times of the day to see how the color behaves under various lighting conditions.

LIMITED NATURAL LIGHT

If your kitchen gets a lot of sunlight, you have more freedom to experiment with darker colors. Dark cabinets can add drama and sophistication, but they can make a small kitchen feel even smaller.

I have a friend who's a digital artist in the Philippines. She's in the process of making prints of her art, but the printing business just now informed her that the prints came out patchy.
Prior to all this, she requested test prints as samples to check the quality of each print and to know if she needed to make edits, and they all turned out great. However, the printing business came back to her to say that blues and purples come out patchy on old mill paper, and they mentioned none of this prior to the printing (and the initial test prints didn't have any patchy spots at all). Now they're saying that it might cost them more to reprint and my friend's worried that it might cost her extra to print better copies of her art when it wasn't her fault to begin with.
She's still waiting to hear back from the printing business, but can you guys share any advice on how not to get burned in this kind of situation?

Warning, very long and confusing post ahead:
On 4/20 I found out im pregnant with my second, after taking a test at home. (first is now 8, almost 9). Without all the details, I am not in the same place mentally, emotionally, etc that I was while pregnant with my first. I was younger and not in a healthy relationship, but I did have more help from friends and family, and financially I was in a better place. I was scared then too, but no where near as unprepared and scared as I was finding out this time. Of course I’d hoped I would be in a better position in life and stronger and better and all the things.. if I ever had another child, but to put it lightly, life throws curveballs, and all that… and the last two years especially, taught me that life is not a linear, continually uphill path. There will be some tumbling back down and starting over… so to speak. So without going on and on, I ended up deciding to seek help with figuring out what I wanted to do because I was very unsure.
my periods have been irregular for well over a year, I had attributed it to stress. I only took a test because I had some symptoms, I’m not on birth control, so I knew it was a possibility. (please refrain from judging/ lecturing. The how and why is very complicated, and this story is going to be long enough.. and I’m doing what I need to, to address it all) but I wasn’t doing a great job of tracking anything and I’m embarrassed to say I wasn’t and am still not exactly sure how far along I might be. I had routine care while I was pregnant with my first, but found out early, because my period was like clockwork then, so 2 days late I had tested positive. I went to one of the only places available in my area at the time, and I didn’t have a great experience, but I also didn’t really question whether I was going to go through with the pregnancy, and just went straight to prenatal care. I had blood testing done finding out I was 3-4 weeks initially, and then a normal ultrasound at 8 weeks, and regularly from then on.
So this was my first experience with abortion/ family planning clinics and my first time being unsure of when I actually got pregnant, which left me both nervous and driving myself insane with scenarios. And the other stress in my life is just amplifying it.
The day of my appointment (4/29) I was running late and so I called to let them know. I quickly googled the number of the place, when I realized I couldn’t find it in my phone, from scheduling it the week before. A woman answered, she was friendly but told me I wasn’t in their system or scheduled for that day. I quickly realized I called the wrong number, and started to apologize. The two clinics are on the same street. She was still being very nice and started telling me they could see me anyway, that day, and even started saying they could do an ultrasound if I wanted, I didn’t even need to worry about having insurance. I said no thank you. I was suspicious, but not fully aware yet of who I had even accidentally called. I told her no thank you and-hurried and called the correct office, that I had initially booked an appt with. they were overbooked that day as it was, and apologized, but they couldn’t push my appt any later and had to reschedule for a couple days later.
My anxiety, and desperation to get some answers, coupled with pressure on myself and stress, led me to call the other clinic, back.
They were happy to get me in, and I showed up. I started putting pieces together on the way over, and confirmed my suspicions when I walked in and saw the Bible verses on the walls. I started to change my mind and was preparing myself to leave but started convincing myself maybe these clinics weren’t as corrupt as I had heard, and that maybe the horror stories were just that. Maybe I was being dramatic, I was just stressed, these women were nice, etc blah blah
They asked for a urine sample and the woman who introduced herself as a nurse and another woman, appeared, but didn’t introduce herself, and had me sit in a room, them across from me, like an interview. They had notepads and internally I start freaking out at this point and I am about to get up and leave because everything now feels incredibly off, but the woman asks if I took a home test, I say yes. She looks at me , smiling “How did you feel, when you saw that positive test.?” I was already visibly nervous and upset at that point and so when she asked that it felt very invasive. I started to explain that I wasn’t oblivious to what they were doing and said I’d like them to stop. They backed off some and started back tracking, asking if I wanted to just get the ultrasound done, for my peace of mind. I definitely should have left, but like I said, my headspace was STRESSED and extremely anxious and I just WANTED to KNOW something. It didn’t even occur to me they might lie about what was on the ultrasound, or anything. I don’t know why it didn’t, but I know I wasn’t thinking clearly at all, and while I had started accepting that they would pressure me into keeping the pregnancy, I started trying to rationalize that I didnt think it was legal for them to do an ultrasound, a medical exam, if they weren’t qualified to do so?…. I still have so many questions and didn’t realize how little I knew about my own rights, and the legal aspects surrounding these things, until now.
I was showed a screen, (not the one the nurse used, she kept that turned to get the entire time) and showed me a normal enough seeming ultrasound. She did one on my stomach and one internally. I didn’t see a noticeable baby, just a sac… I did think I saw flickering, like when I saw my firsts heartbeat, at one point, but she moved the wand away and didn’t speak almost the entire time, never pointing anything out. I know this sounds so stupid but I assumed it was another organ? Or glitching maybe I don’t know…she apologized for being quiet, said she “had to concentrate.” She finally tells me what feels like 5 years later, I look to be 5 weeks 0 days. I take her word for it. I’m pretty overwhelmed. The other woman, (counselor, nurse, stranger????) was in the room the entire time, sitting behind me. Again I’m realizing how absurd this is now that I’m replaying it, and I’m mortified, but it happened and now here I am. Looking back they were uncomfortably quiet, and offered no reassurance really. But then as I’m preparing to leave, while I’m just going through the motions and lost in my thoughts, they tell me they want to try to hear the heartbeat next week, they’re sure they’ll be able to then. They’re almost like, giddy, lose any air of “professionalism” and hand me a box wrapped in a pink bow, that I opened at home and found out had a newborn onesie inside, that said “best gift ever.”
I’m still reeling. This was 2 Weeks ago. I’m upset. I feel stupid. I’m confused and feel like I was taken advantage of, in a way. And worst of all, I am now second guessing everything I thought I “found out.” The ultrasound picture they gave me, was cut off at the top. There is no date, time, name or gestational weeks.. I didn’t go to the follow up appointment, and instead scheduled an appointment with the office I went to for my first pregnancy. But I didn’t tell them what happened or that i had an ultrasound done already, I just told them the date of the positive test, and last suspected period. (Even though, with suspicious clinic saying 5 Weeks- that would mean I had a “period” after I was already pregnant- which is what led me to wonder if I was further along) couldn’t get me in until next week, when, if I go off of the ultrasound, would make me 9 weeks. Normal timing to be seen but I have been on a mental rollercoaster.
I feel like I’ve “popped” this past week, I have a noticeable bump, and everything just feels very off. I have been so depressed and confused I haven’t tried to get any help sooner because I’m just ashamed. But it is worrying me to death that maybe they lied, and my ultrasound was a fake, and I’ve now waited too long to have a choice. I think I decided I want to go through with this anyway, but I now wonder how much of my decision is being influenced by what happened? Pregnancy hormones are already difficult, my life has been chaos and while I think I’m making the decision based on my own choice, I’m not sure I can even trust myself and my decision making anymore after all this confusion… I really need any advice, guidance, support I don’t know. Am I being paranoid? Am I losing it? Is it unlikely a pro life clinic would really go that far?… I’m under too much stress to know what may just be me overreacting, and what is genuinely a concern, and what to do about it all either way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello all,
I'm currently doing my first ML project, and I have the issue that the loss rate does not really decrease (at least over the first three epochs). The ML training is supposed to be a binary text classification based on pretrained SciBERT, torch and sklearn. I attach the code below. Am I doing something obviously wrong with the settings/code or is it just that the input data sucks? (they are rather imbalanced, so I wouldn't be surprised; don't have any choice in improving this though, since I don't have time for that at the moment).
I would be immensely grateful for any input.
