My brother is a pilot. He is firmly of the opinion that Covid is a giant conspiracy, where pharma, hospitals, doctors, govt, and the media are all in on it. He doesn’t trust any data put out by the CDC, or hospitals. It’s all just people falling in line so pharma and hospitals can make money. And I can’t be trusted with any opinions because I’m too close to it all so I’m sort of implicitly involved, I guess. I’ve been working in value based care and just adjacent to public health for 15 years. He sends me a text every other day with a new conspiracy theory.

So news broke recently about 5G interfering with the altimeters on aircraft. I’ve been trolling him all afternoon and evening saying it’s much ado about nothing, not any real risk. Europe rolled out 5G no prob. Some electrical engineer says that realistically there’s no risk.

He is getting annoyed, because I know fuck all about airplanes and I should stay in my lane. How the turn tables.

The verb ā€œdustā€ literally means both to remove dust, or to add dust, depending on the context. What’s up with that?!?!?

I am so lucky to have a wife that will go out and shovel snow so I don’t have to go outside and get even slightly chilled.

There was some guy (who was not recovering from surgery) who on Twitter posted a gratitude photo of his HCW wife out shoveling snow after a shift at the hospital. Dude got roasted.

You mean this guy, right??? I sure hope he made her breakfast like he said in his tweet!!

She did make me breakfast, so …

That’s the one!

So…are all of these people upset because she’s doing a man’s job?

Would the reaction have been better if he said he was folding laundry while she did it? Worse?

Or changing their kids’ diapers…or her parents’ diapers?

He should have made her breakfast AND given her a shoulder massage while wearing a see through apron!!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And the bacon should be >= 5!!!

Yeah, that’s one of the ā€œwords that are their own oppositesā€.

Seed is another one. If you seed the grass you are adding seeds, but if you seed a tomato you are removing them.

If you trim the Christmas tree, are you removing branches or adding decorations?

Because of the agency’s oversight, the corporation’s behavior was sanctioned.

This morning one of my Cincinnati girlfriends was asking me if I could help her son with a Calculus problem he was having trouble with. Calculating the volume of a solid of revolution… fun!

So she gave me his phone number (which I didn’t have saved previously) and it was a 513 area code (Cincinnati). But I’ve also lived in Portland for a while… which is 503. And copy/paste was NOT working so I had to manually key in the number. And my insufficiently-caffeinated brain typed in 503 instead of 513. So some random poor soul in Portland got a whole Calculus lesson texted to them fairly early this morning.

What a fun way for that person to start their Saturday… learning about shell method and disc method! :woman_facepalming:

Occasionally I eat spaghetti sauce (tuna) straight from the jar (can). Time for some Classico italian sauage.
