Kinda curious if me skipping all the shitty older versions is why I think the current one is fine. I always opt in to the new versions ASAP to get the pain of switching out of the way sooner rather than later.

I got a new job, fully remote, and we use Teams. Not gonna lie, I don’t get the hate. It seems as exactly adequate as WebEx or Zoom. None of them make me cum, none of them make me upset.

What is it about Teams that people hate so much? How does WebEx or Zoom do it any better?

Fully onboard with hating new Outlook though, fuck it sucks. Can’t even browse the global address list, it’s search only.

That doesn’t sound like an abuse of checks and balances to me, to be honest. This is exactly how the system is designed. They still need a majority to pass anything.

Flip the script for a moment; imagine we had ultra right wing judges who make insane judgements. Is it not the whole point of checks and balances for the legislative and executive branches to be able to exert some control over the judiciary branch provided they have an appropriate majority?

I don’t agree with Johnson, he’s a cunt, but this doesn’t seem like abuse per se, rather exactly how the system was designed. I’m not worried about it because they don’t have the votes.

There’s video streaming on Lemmy?

I’ve seen some videos of people punching through windows and instantly cutting an artery, wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened here.

the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling.

That’s not true in the slightest. I agree with the fuck 23&me sentiment but you don’t have to make things up to criticize them.

Certified medical laboratory scientist here: reckon we still do this because it’s fast, free, requires no technology, and can give you some decent insight into what’s going on. Of course, you’re going to want chemistry and microscopy to confirm anything, but color can certainly steer you towards a pathology. Even the fancy analyzers with automated dipstick chemistry and computerized microscopy report color and clarity.

Also if your pee is any darker than straw colored, drink some water. I’ve seen so much nasty piss come through the lab. Apparently a ton of people aren’t drinking enough water.

I spend a grand on a nice adjustable dumbbell set and a bench and went from 165lbs to 210lbs over the last 18 months with a combination of weight training and eating better. It’s absolutely possible to work out at home with the resources that are out there these days. I do miss some of the equipment at the gym but the convenience of a home gym is just too good.

I would point out that getting lean/shredded is not a function of the gym, it’s a function of the kitchen. You cannot out exercise a bad or even mediocre diet. You can use a gym to build muscle, increase flexibility, or improve cardiovascular fitness, but there’s no avoiding making changes to your diet if you want to decrease body fat.
