lab techs hate improperly collected samples. The people who collect those samples often in turn hate lab techs.
Who is the enemy?

As a lab tech, I feel this one.
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I spent years in a research path core and am just wrapping up my med lab certification, it amused me when they hired actors to come to our program and we role-played dealing with angry pathologists, fuming nurses ect… Most of my clients have been MSc students or MD/PHD conducting research. they might be experts in their field and conduct these brilliant studies then stumble right at the finish line because sample collection was bungled or something ruined during extraction. I’ve seen some “interesting” DIY fixation and processing protocols to save a little money that did the same thing. I always feel so bad but most people are willing to learn and work with us.

Just send it back with a derogatory note telling them to take it again.

It’s never easy to connect samples properly in the field and it’s never easy to draw conclusions from imperfect sampling.
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I’m in pathology (research, transitioning to medical) so that was my frame of reference here. Its my job take the samples given to the lab and turn them into slides for analysis but tue results are only as good as what I’m given in the first place (crap in, crap out). same with blood draws, urines, anything improperly collected no longer properly represents the thing it came from. Then I have to tell the client that…

I hated Product Managers as first but learned how they can be a valuable asset. Especially when dealing with customers or executives. They can handle all the crap throw at us and just filter down what we need know.

Electrical engineers hate OrCAD, seriously. I keep a spare file on all of my work computers collecting when I see someone on line saying OrCAD sucks. Brings me comfort when the program crashes for the 5th time that day

Locksmiths hate WD-40
korazail@lemmy.myserv.one 3 hours ago
not a locksmith, but…
One of those candidates for ‘worst memorable phrase in history’ is the old “duct-tape for things that move and shouldn’t and wd-40 for things that should move and don’t”.
WD-40 isn’t a lubricant. It often works to get something un-stuck, but then you need to still clean and lubricate the parts to keep it working.

How do they feel about Ballistol?

Never heard of it, but I use Tri-flow and Houdini liberally. If Ballistol doesn’t leave a residue it’s probably fine

Why this one?
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
IANAL, but people use it on squeaky hinges and knobs and locks, but it sits in the mechanism and collects dust. It turns into a gummy mess eventually, which is the last thing you would want in a lock.
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 hours ago
I imagine it gunks up the lock mechanism. I have had to eventually replace locks I used it in.

Auto mechanics hate Fix-a-Flat, especially if a customer forgets to let them know their tire is ful of the stuff when it comes time to replace it.

We had a local shop owner killed when airing up a tire with fix-a-flat. His wife ran the shop after his death and she did not mince words when someone asked why the shop wouldn’t patch their tire that had fix-a-flat.

How? Was he working on an industrial tire or something?
ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
I feel super sorry for whoever has to do my next tire change, the previous owner of my vehicle (just purchased otherwise it’d already have had a tire change) was using fix-a-flat for top ups so the didn’t have to lug out the air compressor.
I have no idea how much goo is in these tires, but I can only assume they look like the aftermath of a ménage et troi with 3 “Slimers” from ghostbusters.
RoabeArt@hexbear.net 3 hours ago
Why do people do shit like this lmao.
I’m surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result (the idea is to replace the tire after using the stuff, since it’s meant to be an emergency repair).

Teachers hate parents.
Vice versa
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
As a parent, I don’t hate the teachers. Other kids parents need to get their shit together though. The amount of homophobia and racism casually thrown around by the other kids is appalling.
bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
God, wtf.
We always went out of our way to help the teachers whenever possible. We donated any and all supplies that they asked for and gave them gift cards for Christmas. We supported them actively when they protested for better wages and other benefits.
What sort of monster would hate the very people who you trust with their own children?
Im_old@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
The kind of parents that think their little crotchspawn is an angel and every bad grade is the teacher’s fault.
Don’t get me wrong, there are bad teachers (had a couple both as student and as a parent), but mostly are doing their best. Or at least not be purposely bad.

Orthopaedic doctors hate chiropractors
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 3 hours ago
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation…for the most part the majority of chiropractors are harmless. If the patient believes a chiropractor is helping manage their pain, I don’t really care about the efficacy of the practice. Plus, most chiropractors are risk adverse enough to know not to work on areas where hardware has been installed.
If we’re sticking to the format of items or activities that are a reason for a lot of our appointments… Ladders, motorcycles, bad drivers, trampolines, and electric scooters and diabetes are probably the top contenders.

Data? No, because there is none. And I have read every.single.study. They are all fucked in some way or another whether it’s methodology or the stats or the sample size/composition. Not a single real in vivo study. None. There is exactly one researcher in Greece doing decent work, and that’s it. I took a career change from my previous and now present career and worked in pharma and biotech research.

Former smoker, current vaper. I know inhaling anything other than clean air isn’t good for me, and I know nicotine addiction isn’t good. I plan on quitting, and I’m making decent progress to that point.
But it bugs the shit out of me when people try to act like it’s worse than cigarettes. It’s not. Shitty Chinese vapes marketed to kids that we don’t know the ingredients of? Sure, ban em. Black market vapes made in some dudes garage with oil? Absolutely track em down and end that man’s whole career.
But properly made, regulated vape juice in a rebuildable tank? Leave me the fuck alone. Please. Please do not take the thing that has helped millions of people quit smoking!
Can you link me any decent articles to help the next time someone says some dumb reactionary shit?

Inb4 popcorn lung lmao.
(Diacetyl, the chemical responsible, is also found in cigarettes, 2,000x more than in vape juice, and cigarettes have never caused popcorn lung. The only recorded case afaik comes from the powder form being used in a popcorn factory with no respirators, and it acted like asbestos sorta where it settles in the lungs. That’s a far cry from the liquid form that was in some vape juice before the freakout, which has never shown to cause popcorn lung, just like it doesn’t with cigarettes.)
Inb4 vitamin A oil
(Black market weed carts made by some dickhead in his garage who didn’t know what he was doing. Legalize it already ffs.)
