My at-home blood pressure test says:
-it should be taken while sitting with arms in a specific position, not perched on a stool
-it should be taken while you are sitting quietly, not reading or watching TV or having a conversation
-even then the result can vary by a lot

All that said, that's just to get an accurate series for comparisons, I'm sure even putting the cuff on upside down while chatting while on a stool can tell you if someone's BP is way way too high, somewhat too high, OK, or somewhat/too low. Ballpark poo poo. It can't be much worse than those self-serve grocery store BP stations.

Also obviously they should be masked, and he should be disinfecting the cuff between uses, etc. so there's that bit

Steeeeriiiiiiiiike twooooooo!

Despite my earlier shade about the enforcement of COVID protocols in my department, I will say the company overall has been good about making things available for those of us who need to be on-site. They do random testing twice a week with the non-rapid testing (PCR?), and we can go get tested on-site at any time (rapid I think).

I mean, they're doing it to keep us here and make sure we're building stockholder value, but...still, free tests whenever.

I hate her for glibly and naively allowing right wing fascists to take control of the court when it was completely in her power to stop it. As if it wasn't a big deal and her PERSONAL needs to feel important and keep working were more important than the future of the country. Self-absorption of the highest loving level, 100% clueless shitlib.

She also called national anthem protests against racism and racist policing/police murders 'dumb and disrespectful'. Nope, gently caress you Ruth.

She gets some credit for certain things she did on the court but overall her name makes me angry when it comes up, nothing else.

She was racist and capitalist and her decisions reflected that.

She was not the progressive champion she is made to be, although in fairness she was technically more progressive than a lot of her contemporaries. But that’s indictment of the contemporaries more than praise of RGB.

Did a lot for women's rights and for female representation in the legal/judiciary system, then jeopardized all of it out of hubris.

Also remember back in October when Katie Couric admitted to editing an interview with RBG to make her appear less racist

RBG kind of represents the Democratic Party really well. She got to write a lot of scathing dissents that ultimately meant nothing, then hung around too long and let conservatives take a massive lead in the courts.

Outside the courts, her personality at least seems to have inspired a lot of women to get into law, and politics, which is a good thing at least.

I hate the hagiography and weird cult that was built up around RGB since it makes an actual discussion about her rulings and ideas almost impossible to have. At least with Scalia you can break down his poo poo without someone getting offended by it. RGB herself inspired a lot of women to get involved in policy and law, which is fine and good in its own way and I hope we can get to a point where there can be a more nuanced reassesment of her ala Sandra Day O'Connor soon.

This is about where I’m at. The left has nothing to balance out the massively far-right judges and justices that make up the majority of the courts, so our flawed centrists are heroes by default, having done nothing to earn that title except for not being a total piece of poo poo.

And yeah, the whole ‘hubris dooming the US to annihilation’ thing, while also technically accurate, is more of an indictment of how insane it is that we’re sitting on a knife edge of getting dragged back to the 1920’s, socioeconomically, and the country is fine with that.

Also her passing and the Garland fiasco ripped away the last shred of cover that the Repubs weren’t hypocritical extremists, but the resulting lack of outrage or consequences set the stage for the high-octane ratcheting rightwards since then.

Got the shits in my last few runs because I was trying to go for hammers to get good perks on the rail and ended up with this dogshit build where its half zeus and some doom and some aphrodite. Ended up just chasing keys and darkness for a few of them instead of trying to finish.

I did fall rear end backwards into getting three of Hermes boons - the one that gives you 100% movement speed after dashing, damage based on movement speed and dash more times which combined with lightning on attack with the fists melted every boss and room in moments just chaining dashing and punching. I'm going to be chasing the high of that death dealing super build for a while I think.

I'm mad about the vagueness of the "advice and consent" clause. We all know perfectly well from constant experience that if you don't give a committee a hard deadline, they will dicker around forever. It's also just super dumb in general to think that any given Senate would not use its power to undermine a President of the opposite party by loving with their nominations. Also that you could get a nonpartisan judiciary by piping nomination and approval through partisan branches of the government.

I do not have a brilliant idea for how to actually get nonpartisan judges.

I don't think 'non-partisan' is useful or achievable. 'Equally partisan' might be, though. Every President gets to nominate two justices per term. Advice and consent becomes "you need a two-thirds majority to veto a nomination". Justices can retire or whatever whenever they want - the Court expands or contracts automatically to fit in the new nominees.
