Oh good. I have not received my test results yet another staff member who got their test at the same place and a few hours after me got their results last Thursday.
They do batch testing, and group a bunch together. If they are all negative, then everyone gets the results quickly. If even one is positive, iirc, they have to test them all individually, which may take more time.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

So I should keep waiting?

Tim gets together with a bunch of weirdos from the internet he's known for the last decade+ and they hatch a convoluted plan to social engineer their way into the lab where his sample is and either, as circumstances dictate, test it themselves or hack the database to find his results? The plan would include multiple Oceans 11 style cons and take at least a similar number of people.
It's a good idea, but there's a pandemic on so getting together to plan and practice is not responsible.

My nephew's second coronavirus test in a month just came back negative. And we also learned today that some kids just get super wheezy when they have a virus, and he will probably do this every time he has a cold for the next few years. So I guess we get to play "cold or covid?" every few weeks for the next year as he catches all the germs a toddler catches in their first year at nursery.

Did they diagnose asthma? Post-viral asthma is super duper common and yeah it's gonna have a lot of COVID-like attributes but if they can prescribe him some albuterol it should help with the symptoms.

Try to call the phone number I found on the test website? Part of my kinda just wants to wait to see if the district even notices I never sent them the results.

Apparently they can't officially diagnose him until he's old enough to do a breathing test, or something. But something is definitely up, his breathing is really laboured and raspy, especially when he gets tired. He also has pretty bad eczema and some allergies so asthma doesn't sound crazy to me.
They gave him an inhaler which helps. Hopefully he will grow out of it.
I found it! I found the unicorn! I found a self identified libertarian who isn’t a complete chode!
He’s one of my professors. Which means he has a PhD in some form of government intelligence. He lives out in the country on a farm with his family and guns. 100% a prepper.
He believes the government should be as small as possible while providing for the needs of the people, ideally through curtailing a bunch of military spending and focusing that money to those in need instead, ideally through direct cash payments rather than various bureaucratic institutions.
After a group project he told us he formed our groups “with people from not only different work backgrounds, but different ages, races, and gender because diversity is a vital key not only to success but in developing a healthy world view.”
“Honestly if we stopped using the government to imprison and kill people and instead used it to boost them up, the country would be way better off and we could cut down on a ton of unnecessary government.”
He’s like a skinny, bald, SJW Ron Swanson. I want to join his compound.

He doesn't sound like a libertarian...or I should say he would be a libertarian if our government looked completely different. Which makes him essentially a anarcho communist?

There's also a common misconception that a place is called a city if it has a cathedral (apparently this hasn't actually been true since the days of Elizabeth I, which is when they started doing the 'monarch grants a charter' method)
anyway this is just by way of bringing up a tangential anecdote from when I was apartment-hunting in southern cornwall, where the real-estate lady showing me listings in Truro asked "So do you like big-city living?" and I said "yes but all Cornwall has is Truro* so I'll have to make do"
and got a fucking FILTHY glare and a stern "We have a cathedral!" in response.
Also get rid of the stupid Astra Militarum or whatever name is being pushed.
No, rules writers don't get to change names. You would have to join a different department. Like Legal Story.

KetarCome on upstairswe're having a partyRegistered Userregular
I've heard it pronounced a couple of different ways in biology classes long ago. If you try to look up the pronunciation though nearly all of the online guides pronounce it the way Pinfeldorf's professor did.
According to my medical terminology professor some years ago, it's a soft G for the same reason it's a soft G in "-logy". The UK would obviously give a longer A sound in phagocyte where it would be the closer to "phAYgocyte" in the US, which I believe are both okay, but this is the first time I've heard it as a hard G.

Look up "phagocyte pronunciation." All but one that I clicked on pronounced it like your professor did (and that was also the way I heard it pronounced most often when I was in school).
It would be nice if people shifted their pronunciation on it though.

Huh, I've only ever heard it as a hard G (like "Fay-go", though, not the other thing). Interesting!
I've also heard 3 different pronunciations for apoptosis and I to this day have no idea which is "correct." Science!
Got my flu jab today. Left work early to get to the only one of our hospitals actually doing shots in the employee health office, but between a few long running extracts I was finishing up and construction traffic and the fact that for staffing reasons they stopped giving shots a half hour earlier than listed on the scheduled they turned me away. But then I told them that I'd driven in all the way from the west side of town, so rather than have me come back tomorrow, they just slipped me in. Hooray for being a squeeky wheel!

Actually, it's a soft G in "-logy" because it comes from French, where g is (mostly) always hard (heh) in front of a, o and u, and soft in front of e, i and y. So it's phage pronounced "faaj" or "fayj", but phagocyte pronounced "fay-go-site".

The origin is definitely Greek and/or Latin, since it's oldschool medical terminology. If there are similarities to French, it's because they borrowed it from Latin, just like Spanish.

My pronunciation of apoptosis veers wildly between all three for reasons even I can't discern.

Fuck the ancient origins of thousands of years ago, how about we just recognize how certain bits have implications in our current world and adjust around that?

Yeah, but why does English do it? Because of the French influence!

I'm almost positive they are only doing it at all to claim they did it for the press.
I'm proxy angry with your professor now.

Seriously, the sticky note over the camera never comes off unless you are going to act like you are on camera.
It's arbitrary
“Yeah, but do you have a Dave and Busters!?”
In French, you pronounce it that way. Then again, "fag" doesn't mean anything in French.
@Gvzbgul It's pronounced Faygo-site. That's right. A phagocyte... is a Faygo factory.

I think you have to pronounce the second p. Otherwise, what if they come up with something called "aptosis"? Chaos will reign! Chaos!
If you pronounce it that way, you don't get any Faygo out of your phagocytes. Is that what you want?
