Get the seek app and birdnet app and go to a local nature center. The buildings will be closed but you can crash around in the underbrush. The seek app is literally the best part of quarantine and I thank this thread for talking about it

like i'm not trying to be a chud here. i don't think people should be getting forced back to work for number. i think it's hosed up that people are being made to pick between risking the rona or being unemployed. but i'm also not gonna deal with jumping through hoops to go do poo poo. i can sit it out pretty happily

people dont have to choose in functioning neoliberal economies like germany or even the UK.

we dont even have a system where taxpayers cover corporate losses but the state intervenes where corporate cant. we have this hosed up junta controlled by a weird aristocracy.

It's more important that people like you than you being good at your job. If people like you they will go out of their way to justify keeping you around

If anyone ever directly asks you for something, do it as quickly as possible. Ask them for help on things, too. Being needed is a good feeling and promotes a sense of comraderie.

Apart from that, coast like a boat on the tide

i've never had a job like this, every job i've had the best workers got the most respect and the bad ones were hated, and their attempts to ingratiate themselves with snacks were met with us eating the snacks while calling them pathetic and shunning them until they quit

edit: it turns out living and working with the same people in a small isolated group is probably not the same as an office environment?

I should clarify corporate culture and start-up-y kinda places do have vastly different vibes, but I've never seen someone who was talented enough to overcome a poo poo personality, or so nice that they could overcome complete ineptitude.
But in the end, the people who rise are the people who can fit in with whatever the office clique is. I don't think just being really, really good is enough because the only person who will ever know you're really, really good is the person managing you and it's in their best interest to not promote you above themselves so...

The whole system is hosed.

Yes if you're in an environment where you actually do meaningful work and people care about their job then your community will appreciate people pulling their weight and shun the ones that don't contribute

yeah if your work matters at all to society you can't cruise. and if you're a good person you wouldn't try to anyway. if your job is entirely making rich people richer or somehow even more pointless then go nuts

Xpost from Medical Stories

BioRxiv preprint, no peer review, NYU School of Medicine researchers. From abstract:

quote:

In search for a platform with shorter turnaround time, we sought to evaluate the recently released Abbott ID NOW COVID-19 assay which is capable of producing positive results in as little as 5 minutes. We present here the result comparisons between Abbot ID NOW COVID-19 and Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 using nasopharyngeal swabs transported in VTM as well as dry nasal swabs for the Abbott assay. Regardless of method of collection and sample type, Abbot ID NOW COVID-19 missed a third of the samples detected positive by Cepheid Xpert Xpress when using NP swabs in VTM and over 48% when using dry nasal swabs.
