Last friday I didn't show up for my department's xmas lunch because 2 coworkers insisted on going despite having cold symptoms. I ate a banana out in my car in the parking lot. One of them texted asking why i wasn't there, I said I was there. In the parking lot. Avoiding you negligent fucks.

This week, at a certain point on my shift, everyone in the department was sick except me. Slowly it took them down one by one, but they kept coming to work because we're in hell. Today i finally had it and just wore an N95 all day, even while totally alone in sterile air, because I'm outnumbered. Right now i consider every week I don't get sick to be a win, since the the whole world is trying to get me.
It's winter in canada, outside isn't an option, I've run out of safe places to eat lunch.

I installed Sleep Cycle, but I can't find the menu option to view community cough radar stats. I did try to RTFM. What do I need to click?

Its an airborne disease that can travel hundreds of meter through the air infecting people between in adjacent high rises. At the end of the day, you don't know where you got infected.

After a relatively quiet year, things are looking up.


It will be interesting to see what happens from here, as the tracking period just barely extends into what must be the >50% JN.1* period.

Immunity debt works much like student loan debt. You start out owing like 50k, pay diligently and on time for a decade, then you owe 80k.

I've been using it for three days, which I hoped would be enough to punch my ticket. I'm pretty sure that I can't find the radar because I'm doing something wrong, but the FAQ pages suck.

Has anyone in the states successfully gotten Novavax after getting an mRNA booster in the fall? I got Moderna'd around Oct 1.

Someone should ask this guy how many were hospitalized or died during that week or two

NeonPunk posted:

Just did! I'm in Texas so maybe they don't really care that much. I got Moderna at the end of September at CVS and just got the moth juice just now at Costco.

The shot felt totally different from the mRna shot. Like the mRna felt absolutely nothing but later get a bit sore at the injection but with Novavax right after they gave me the shot my injection site immediately felt so weird and off, I could felt it flowing through my arm and I felt a bit off, but 30 seconds later feeling nothing at all in my arm at all. Doesn't even feel sore

It's just that simple tbh.

Is there a good source to point to someone very reachable for not exercising for 6 weeks post-COVID? I saw there was a New Zealand article yesterday on Twitter about it but the link always times out.

is there some drama around the rights to corsi-rosenthal boxes right now? people are alluding to this on Twitter but as usual it’s impossible to tell the original context

I'm as lost as you are. Is this just because they got a trademark for Corsi Rosenthal cubes?

if you work a job that requires ppe, you should at least be well paid for it

I have like 20 minutes before I have to leave so I clicked through and I regret doing so, I don't know if twitter has just gotten that much worse or if the dispute isn't confined to a single thread. Scrolling up and down this tweet has most of the conversation I guess.

It looks Jim Rosenthal responded to a tweet about a company selling an air filter that used the term CR-Box as part of its description, Jim Rosenthal responded by saying that CR-Box is a copyrighted term and suggested that the company donate a small portion of each sale to the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation (which is apparently a thing). The company retorts that there is no trademark on the term and it's unpatentable. I think that's the end of it. Seems like a dick move on Rosenthal's part.

Monetizing something that is so easy to build yourself is poo poo though. Plenty of non-profits use legal force to ensure their contributions aren't abused by companies, for example, free software organizations. If you set out with a goal to make a free to use it makes sense to tell companies that try to monetize it to gently caress off.
