You should watch Silicon Vally if you haven’t already.

I get the sense a bunch of y’all weren’t around for the early internet.

Lots of dumb people out there and they’re doing to say all kinds of deranged shit. Grow a pair and move on.

Still at 100% health.

Yep

For the 1st one:

Eleven articles were included. In men with LUTS, a significantly lower PVR (−24.96 ml; 95%CI −48.70 to −1.23) was shown in sitting position compared to standing. In accordance, Qmax was increased (1.23 ml/s; 95%CI −1.02 to 3.48), and TQ was decreased (−0.62 s; 95%CI −1.66 to 0.42) in sitting position, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. In healthy men, Qmax (0.18 ml/s; 95% CI −1.67 to 2.02), TQ (0.49 s; 95%CI −3.30 to 4.27) and PVR (0.43 ml; 95%CI −0.79 to 1,65) were similar in sitting and standing position.

So that others don’t have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don’t have a LUTS, this doesn’t appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.

The conclusion:

For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.

For the 2nd, I didn’t get past the title:

Urine Is Not Sterile: Use of Enhanced Urine Culture Techniques To Detect Resident Bacterial Flora in the Adult Female Bladder

This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words “sitting”, “standing”, and “male” make no appearance in the study.

This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.

A source for this claim might help your case.

Straight up child abuse. Fuck…

Every once in a while I still spot someone smoking with kids in the car. That shit makes me irate.

Born in early 90’s. We were still responding “non” to the first question that was asked entering a restaurant.

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.

I use restic to back up files to Wasabi.

It’s all scripted but the steps are:

1. Back up
2. Prune based on rules
3. Perform a repository consistency check and do further checks (takes longer) on 1% of the repo
4. Choose 1 random file from the current backup set and get the hash of the current file
5. Restore that file to a temporary location and hash it.
6. Compare hashes
7. Send push alert to me with success/failure and a summary

Before we elected Trump, I would have said rest a little easier thinking about the amount of money the US spends on defense and that we’d be coming to back any NATO member if Putin fucks around but now… I don’t know.

I would argue for the exact opposite of that tho.

If you want to stop Russia, isn’t joining NATO a good thing?

NATO membership is voluntary.

Choosing the better of two options too difficult logic for many, I guess.

You can lead a horse to water.

“I think the biggest problem is that your messaging to Arab Americans can’t just be ‘Trump’s a fascist, Trump is Hitler. Big, scary orange man, vote for me.’ Part of being a part of the American political system is being able to separate yourself from your opponent and lay out a better vision. And she did not do that,” Abdelrahman said.

Hey, maybe in 2028 the Dem candidate can run on repealing the national abortion ban. That feels like more than saying, “I WON’T enact a national abortion ban”. Yayyyy /s

“He at least, at least came and spoke to the Muslims. He heard them and said, ‘OK, I will finish. I will end the war in Middle East,’ even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide, but he said he will bring peace,” she said. “And that’s what the people wanted to hear, and that’s why he got the votes.”

“Just lie to us at least”. Fuck me…

Trump ultimately ended up carrying Dearborn, a majority Arab American city in Michigan, by more than 6 percentage points — a massive swing from Biden’s nearly 40 point win there in 2020. But most Dearborn voters also voted against Trump, who got about 43% support in a deeply split field.

Guess you’re not in Dearborn.

I wonder if these people just don’t think Trump is that great a threat or still haven’t figured out how FPTP voting works yet.

Yeah, yeah. People said this leading up to the election to. The plain logic of “we’re getting one of these two” didn’t seem to click with many, you included.

I’m a cis white male who makes pretty damn good money so in all likelihood I’ll be fine. That surely won’t be the case for many. I tried. /shrug
