what the fuck?

they presented the bar chart as though it was actual counts from some kind of algorithmic analysis, not the output of the plagiarism machine

this is good but I have to disagree about large white beans, which I find tend to be on the creamier side of the fat-fiber-protein spectra, and thus at least B+

Should I wait until I finish Eye of the Bedlam Bride or pause the DCC series and sprint through this or add it to the queue?

I didn't read your post to avoid spoilers, but the cover looks dope

This is a bad survey, folks

One can take many different meanings from "be normal."

Indeed. For most people, normal is identical to whatever their expectations balance to in any given moment

tbh it applies to the podcast too, but I thought you were speaking to the image linked in the post

I can't recall any quotations, but brace and liz have had a few lines I think most would receive as a minor jape that also reveal a kind of reactive antiveganism that I hope one day they look back on and cringe

edit: reactionary->reactive (as in originating from reactive aggression towards the topic at hand)

They aren't talking about being vegan

You should see the r/trueanon's takes on veganism

I made a double decker chickpea+blackbean burger with cashew cheese, some kind of lettuce, tomato, onion, and ciabatta yesterday

I still forgot

I am become burgerlander

He also doesn't know how to program (in the computer science department) so he has no concept of the actual quality of my code.

This is the biggest of the red flags, but the other communication issues seem serious as well.

Finally understands" my place in on the team, as the one who "Understands things"

This shit is equally enraging and terrifying by proxy. I'm sure this could be charitably interpreted many ways, but in context of this guy's vibecoding, this reeks of someone who would rather press the "theorem is obvious/intheliterature/leftasanexerciseforthereader" button than really engage with the work they're supervising. It's not required (and it would be weird) for your advisor to understand every aspect of your work that they supervise at the depth and facility you do, but they should feel like they broadly understand it and nearly every supporting concept involved unless your work is absurdly multidisciplinary to the extent that your advisor has never really studied computer science directly.

I was being yelled at while doing another thing that was asked for, explicitly due in 2 hours.

Yeah, this and bringing all of this up in a group meeting with other researchers where presumably the task was not to berate a student for being late is more what I was referring to about direct communication.

In my experience, to communicate issues meeting expectations (outside of maybe "lab manager" type duties that might affect everybody's work when whoever is on duty is late or fucks up), professionals only bring this stuff up in direct 1-1 meetings.

 

However, they may have underestimated their foe.

Highlights

•SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.

•The impact of SARS-CoV-2 on lymphocytes was especially severe in patients with CVD.

•Lymphocyte deficiency is related to long COVID pathogenesis.

•Long-term immune dysregulation of long COVID demands tailored treatment.

Abstract

Objectives Growing evidence suggests that lymphocyte subsets are declined in COVID-19 patients, but it is unclear if these alterations persist after widespread exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or how long they last.

Methods We analyzed lymphocyte subset data from 40,537 patients across three phases: pre-COVID, mass infection, and post-COVID. The counts of lymphocyte subsets and CD4+/CD8+ ratios were compared using Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test. Monthly post-exposure data were compared with pre-exposure data to assess the persistence of impact on lymphocyte subsets by SARS-CoV-2, and subgroup analyses were performed in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Results During mass infection, T cells, CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, NK cells, and B cells dropped significantly. Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia. In cardiovascular disease patients, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline for 20 months post-infection.

Conclusions Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. The sustained subnormal lymphocytes—particularly in cardiovascular disease cohorts—highlight a key immunologic feature of long COVID and underscore the need for personalized care.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:

Long COVID, a chronic condition following SARS-CoV-2 infection, has raised concerns regarding its effects on the male reproductive system, particularly viral persistence in immune-privileged sites, such as the testis. This study investigates whether SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in the semen of patients recovering from mild and moderate COVID-19, examining viral persistence up to six months post-infection.

METHODS:

This observational, prospective study included 38 male COVID-19 patients, divided into two groups based on symptom severity: mild (n=27) and moderate (n=11). Semen samples were collected between 15 to 45 days, 3 and 6 months after symptom onset. Semen parameters were evaluated according to WHO guidelines. Semen was analyzed to detect viral RNA using RT-qPCR and to observe lymphocyte profiles with flow cytometry. Virus isolation was conducted using Vero cell cultures, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

RESULTS:

SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in the semen of 55% (21/38) of the patients, with a higher detection rate in the moderate group (91%). Positive samples showed high cycle thresholds (Ct=38-39). Viral persistence was confirmed through Vero cell culture in 17 patients, with infectious viral particles detected for up to 8 months after infection. Immunofluorescence and TEM successfully detected viral proteins and particles within the Vero cells. Although sperm quality initially decreased in count, concentration, and motility during early collections, recovery was noted by the 6-month mark. Inflammatory markers (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD45) also peaked at 3 months but returned to baseline levels by 6 months.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study confirms that SARS-CoV-2 can persist in the semen of patients who have recovered from COVID-19, indicating that the male genital tract may be a reservoir for the virus. The virus’s long-term presence highlights the need for further research into the reproductive implications of COVID-19 and its potential role in long COVID.

 

You can't have any pudding.

spoilerHow can you have any pudding if you don't eat your beanis?!

 

I have family out in Arizona and seeing/hearing liberals waking up to the ways water and energy development threatens their future, as well as their lack of inclusion in the so-called democracy that enables it gives me some hope. Maybe it's just liberal reaction to the cheeto?

mad props to this yellowshirted fellow with the courage to wear this to a city council meeting
