He’d take them out to dinner and anyone who salted their food before tasting was an automatic no since they didn’t test first before assuming and he felt that that was a sign of a poor engineer. They were testing your friend to see how well he knew infectious disease theory and how well he could resist pressure to break seal in a known dangerous environment.

too many people to quote all but: jury still out on job or not (interview was just on friday). and will be interviewing for other jobs until something lands probably also with implied punishment for masking during those interviews. good poo poo. they were very very sad, sigh. i just had a screenshare w/ them to walk them through test2treat for them and their legit pretty old and infirm parents that they live in a one-bedroom apartment with and you could tell they were kicking themselves and kinda felt like it was their fault. world is a gently caress. of course i did my best to push back on that but it's hard with all the messaging of illness as moral/individual failure.

Steve Yun posted:https://x.com/kalewontsaveyou/status/1743792941204656408?s=46 CBDA and CBGA are precursors to CBD and CBG (and IIRC CBG is the last-stop precursor to THCa in the cannabis biosynthetic pathways). Hemp seed oil has a lot of CBGA in it, but even if you really wanted to work with this stuff from an alchemical plant-medicine perspective, you would need to grow CBD heavy weed and then do constant testing and harvest it at specific early points to maximize CBGA and CBDA. Lab synthesis is probably the answer here; also I wonder if these compounds are patented or patentable.

Death to Israel, as they say. haha i know, just joking about the specific wording in the post. but yeah i remember early on in the pandemic, like once it became clear it wasn't going to just Magically Go Away, thinking to myself that the zionist project will do everything it can to use covid as a weapon against palestinians and ... well, yeah =/ it's so depressing

This is so painful. I get the black&white logic of "I was ultimately the one who made the decision to take my mask down" as in, when told to unmask for a job interview there was technically a point that they could have declined and left. But the way the world actually works flies in the face of that in little moments like this for so many people. It's like if you're in need of anything, a job, dental care, whatever, without having an immediate indicator for "COVID is present" to reassure oneself to try again later, there's always the risk of missing out on an opportunity to obtain something needed because actual risk in that moment was lower than perceived risk. This is why I cringe a little when someone (here, on twitter, whenever) says all unfiltered air is poison, because if you then "willingly" share in that air it automatically implies you are then responsible for it you get unlucky. Even if someone is able to maintain compassion towards others who get got, they might not be so forgiving to themselves if it happens to them. For what it's worth, I do feel we as a group have gotten a lot better about expressing that compassion and not assigning blame on a person when they come in with a pos. update or to ask for help. It's like the illusion of free choice. I hate when it gets used as an excuse for not taking any responsibility for ones actions, but I also hate when it's ignored because people like the one above then beat themselves up unnecessarily. Goddamn that sucks so much.

I'm on my second day of paxlovid, day 3 of infection. The gross taste is about the same as when I forget to brush my teeth in the morning but metallic. My symptoms are some body aches, runny nose, headache, occasional cough, occasional sneeze, more often clearing throat. I'll be happy if symptoms stay at this level. The hardest part is isolation. I'm able to work from home but I'm a danger to my family. We have masks, air cleaners, and enough rooms that we don't overlap but it is hard when my daughter is asking to play legos.

I can't do any work because half of my coworkers are out sick and the editor who was hospitalized is on indeterminate leave for that unknown respiratory issue. But we're post-pandemic know, so I get the side eye for masking up.

The basic idea of taking precautions is just totally out the window and just by acknowledging COVID is still a thing worth avoiding you're making yourself an unwelcome outlier.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I can't remember the last job I had with sick time, it's all shared PTO now which means getting sick eats into your vacation time or you work from home and attend zoom meetings while deathly ill, like my dumb af coworker. the one who has contracted COVID at least four times, one time last summer at the low point of transmission. She showed up and sat in her cube outside my office, then left after two hours, came back an hour later, spent five minutes packing her laptop and other items then left again. A few hours later, another coworker who works next to her was washing her hands in the sink and told me that that coworker tested positive for COVID. No email or verbal notification from my boss, no communication from the sick person while they were there.

Shame he didn't do this when he had a platform worth a drat. Nevertheless, credit where credit is due. https://twitter.com/ChrisCuomo/status/1743455426526535798 Can't speak to the guest, but as always I am glad when this poo poo gets more mainstream (or I guess in this case mainstream adjacent) exposure.
