Yup. My wife has a family history of lupus, has kidney issues, had a serious b12 deficiency, and pretty much every other symptom of lupus, but a negative ANA panel, so it can’t be lupus (a negative ANA doesn’t rule it out completely).

When she went in because she was having neuropathic pain, which is very common in lupus and b12 deficiencies, she was told it was probably from her covid vaccine.

What sucks the most is I, a 6’3 male, actually gets taken seriously by the same doctors. It’s bad enough that I have to go with her to appointments so there’s a chance of her being taken seriously.

Or a doctor that dismisses all of your symptoms because they can’t be fucked to put effort into a diagnosis.

It doesn’t seem to, their entire platform is based on wanting everyone who isn’t a rich white male to suffer.

At this point, if you vote conservative, you’re automatically a bad person.

Yes? At the time of my comment all of the other comments were people hoping it would be a good thing.

I’m not sure why people are expecting Microsoft to act altruistically in this merger. They’re a publicly traded company that exists to create profit for their shareholders, and they’re not going to do a single thing that won’t increase their profits.

Mergers like this are always bad for the consumer, and the FTC is betraying the citizens by letting it happen.

Time to start searching Ollie’s and Big Lots.

Because if you die from not wearing proper PPE, that’s on you.

If things are orderly then they’re predictable.

It’s really only one death since 3 idiots weren’t wearing helmets.

People are fucking stupid, but I guess it’s good that they’re eating vegetables.

It’s annoying that there’s no mention of the consequences for running away

Imo slack is just a garbage product to start with. The chat grouping is not intuitive, the notification audio alerts are subtle and easy to miss with no way of changing the tone, and a large chunk of the time I don’t receive any notification of any new messages, and the new message won’t appear in chat unless I close and reopen the chat.

And I’m definitely not the only one at my job with these issues.

It’s the internet, so I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised.

Their first mistake was forgetting the 0th Law of Robotics.

Sometimes I think it must be nice to be so ignorant.

Dude, they were disruptive enough that the fucking president got personally involved on their side. What more do you want?

Shameless plug for Home Assistant, here. Everything is controlled locally (unless you pay for their internet pass through service which is basically just a relay), most brands of smart devices are supported, you have extreme customization capabilities, and it’s all open source.

Plus, it can run on pretty much anything.

Having smart devices isn’t dumb, but you have to implement them properly.

It’s dumb to hand control of your smart home over to a 3rd party, though.

Go Home Assistant. They’re getting closer to having an offline voice assistant too, so soon you won’t need to use rhasspy or another open source solution.

I’m in the process of developing a whole home HAL9000 system.

This person likely doesn’t have a case. The reason McD lost the first coffee case was because at the time they were offering free coffee refills, so they cranked up the temperature so people wouldn’t have time to sit and drink multiple cups.

Dozens of people had already been injured by this practice by the point the famous injury happened, and the courts had already warned McD to stop.
