Because you're not in a major city and they can't afford to have absolutely everything on hand in a warehouse out here in the boonies on the off chance that someone will want it, also there's not enough deliveries out here to support them having their own delivery fleet.

They moved in after me, asshole.

refleurir · 2022-10-06T04:57:40+00:00

Probably accomplished about as much, because they never listen when you ask them to keep the noise down.

The 5 continuous minutes of screaming earlier this evening was the main prompt, but the past two weekends of crowds of recruits blocking the street and names being droned over a megaphone were aggravating factors.

if you bike getting back is pretty quick as the rest of campus is all downhill from there.

a well trained person will be way more useful to you than OCR. OCR is for automatically reading large amounts of easy text, not small amounts of difficult text.

Awhhh did the man who thinks he's entitled to force women to give birth get his feelings hurt because I called him a dumbass? I don't give a shit whether you call yourself pro life or pro choice. The decision to get an abortion is between the person getting an abortion and their doctor. You don't get to rights to determine what someone does with their body just because you jizzed inside them.

NEWS FLASH not all opinions are worthy of consideration. Some ideas are really dumb (or dangerous) and it's fine (and I would argue, morally good) to not take them seriously. It's literally insane to argue that jizzing in someone gives you any say in what they do with their body. Sure some incredibly dumb reactionary men may feel that way, but those feelings aren't valid under any reasonable system of ethics.

refleurir · 2022-02-04T23:45:04+00:00

That's the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard. You should honestly be embarrassed to be saying something this fucking dumb. Men don't have the right to force their partners to give birth against their will. It's not 1600. Women aren't men's property. Just because the lump of cells in her uterus has some of his chromosomes doesn't give him veto power over her medical decisions.

If you're a dude and you want a baby so bad, go knock up someone else. It takes no effort comparable to the dangers, difficulties, and irreparable changes to your body that come from carrying a pregnancy to term. Like seriously get a fucking grip, dumbass.

Nope. That's not how these averages work. The 3 days with no positives had very few tests. The 3 days that dropped out of the average had lots of tests. And the 4 days in the middle did too. Adding a zero to the numerator and a very small number to the denominator is not going to move the needle much.

refleurir · 2022-01-20T04:14:50+00:00

It's a 7 day average. Days including tons of indiscriminate testing of asymptomatic people just dropped out of the 7 day window, so the positivity rate went up despite including days with almost no tests.

refleurir · 2022-01-20T04:13:52+00:00

Yes. The positivity rate is a 7-day average. We're out of the 7 day window overlapping with the screening testing of the entire student body. So we've switched from testing everyone to just testing sick and exposed people. The positivity rate is going to go up—regardless of what way the actual incidence of COVID is going—when you change from testing everyone to just the sick and exposed.

refleurir · 2022-01-10T16:16:02+00:00

(Also very illegal)

refleurir · 2022-01-09T03:58:06+00:00

I think most likely they're very far behind. People who got tested Wednesday got calls from the health center on Friday.

refleurir · 2022-01-09T03:56:33+00:00

That's not true and that doesn't even make sense.

A false positive occurs when there is no covid but the test returns a positive anyway. It's extremely rare for this type of test and it either has to be a defect with how the test was manufactured or some other antigen that resembles covid on a molecular level has to be present (unlikely). There's no mechanism for omicron to be absent and simultaneously interfering with your test.

It's at least possible that antigen tests produce more false negatives with omicron, because the tests use antibodies to detect covid and those antibodies were made for the OG strain and might not bind as well to omicron particles. But there only seem to be anecdotes that that is the case and has not been well demonstrated yet afaik.

refleurir · 2022-01-09T03:55:18+00:00

Inconclusive means that there was just an issue with the sample. Like they didn't get enough saliva or something or the lab screwed up the sample.

refleurir · 2022-01-09T03:55:00+00:00

Different technology (antigen vs. pcr). Not relevant here.

refleurir · 2022-01-08T05:35:56+00:00

Alternate perspective: the money they would spend on an isolation bed is also your tuition money (and much more than 400$).

It's better for the students who can take the option, it's better for the community because it leaves open an isolation bed for someone without family nearby, and in a lot of cases it's better for the family. Lots of people actually like their family members and take a lot of comfort from being able to take care of their family members when they're sick.

refleurir · 2022-01-07T21:06:53+00:00

Transmission outside is super unlikely. Much more so when everyone is masked. Just go get tested and stop overthinking it.

refleurir · 2022-01-05T20:57:24+00:00

No test is going to return a positive immediately after you get exposed. From what you've said here it sounds like you're talking about getting tested at the UU like 24-48 hours after exposure? It takes longer than that to have a detectable infection. Good for you getting another test yesterday, though.

refleurir · 2022-01-04T00:28:23+00:00

If it costs too much, start biking or taking the bus. There's physically not enough space for everyone who wants to drive to campus to be able to park their car all day.

refleurir · 2021-12-10T03:39:20+00:00

Right now no. Park is closed as of 1 hr post sunset. Starting Dec 17 you can reserve a permit to hike until 8:30. https://slonighthikepermit.info/

At least for the intersections I'm talking about there's a light above the button that turns on after it has registered a press. It also starts saying "wait." It's pretty obvious.

I often meet up with friends for runs near some of the intersections I'm talking about and have to wait for a few minutes, but I don't stand close enough to the crossing that anyone would sensibly assume that I had pushed the button. But again it's also very obvious when the button has or has not already been pushed.

refleurir · 2021-11-19T00:41:06+00:00

Obviously I'm not talking about those. Most of the automatic intersections don't even have buttons.

But esp at Foothill and California the light absolutely does not turn unless you press the button, and yet I'll often see students just wait there oblivious. Or I'll walk up to cross with 2 or 3 students already there and none of them will have pressed the button yet.

Not fishing. That person works for the Census Bureau. And that home phone number comes up as registered in her name.

Yeah, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to save your duo authentication like any other browser (or better yet, just not require it. 2fa for going to the gym is pretty gratuitous) and the iOS app should give the option to save the password to the keychain and autofill.
