i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

there was a four year long typhoid outbreak in ottawa. seven cases were traced back to an asymptomatic food handler, known in the outbreak report as case A. in september 2022, this outbreak was declared over. as of july 2024, no further infections in this cluster have been detected.

around 2%-5% of people who get infected with typhoid fever become chronic carriers that can infect other people for years. in this outbreak, case A worked in multiple grocery stores between 2018 and 2022.

and do you know what one of the main conclusions of the outbreak report was? do you know what the people who investigated this typhoid outbreak concluded?

they concluded that it is a health risk for food handlers to not have comprehensive benefits.

case A was forced out of work in food for 59 days without adequate compensation, despite the leave from work being mandated, and had to get a second job.

...

The exclusion from work for typhoid fever treatment and clearance also caused financial hardship to the food handlers. The negative impacts of excluding infected persons from work duties is likely to be shared within social networks, thus discouraging further cases and contacts from being interviewed and tested. Recent full compensation for those on medically mandated leave, such as that made available due to COVID-19 illness, presents a potential mechanism to facilitate employment insurance for other notifiable infections requiring exclusion from work.

...

Conclusion This outbreak report describes a rare outbreak of typhoid fever associated with chronic S. Typhi carriage in Canada and contributes to the literature to inform future investigations. An interdisciplinary investigation was key to discovering the transmission source. This outbreak demonstrates the risk of infection and challenges in investigation among marginalized workers without comprehensive benefits or stable working conditions. The investigation also adds to the evidence for expanding the analysis window for S. Typhi WGS cluster assignment.

it is dangerous for food handlers to not get paid leave. especially when that leave is mandatory.

this shit NEEDS to change. lives depend on it.

hop

researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible
