Critics have likened the lung float test to a witch trial.
The premise: If a baby was born alive and then died, air from its first breaths would cause the lungs to float in water.
If the baby was stillborn, lack of air would cause the lungs to sink.

Insurers Failed to Comply With Mental Health Coverage Law, Department of Labor Report Finds
—
The probe found widespread noncompliance and violations of federal law in how health plans and insurers cover mental health care, echoing the findings of a recent ProPublica investigation.
For years, the FDA told the public that generics are just as safe and effective as brand-name medications. But ProPublica reporters found that this isn’t always true.

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

new workout.
guys, do you know what the 5th angle is?
it's a saying.
when you try to hide yourself in a dark corner of a hypothetical room but all four corners are already occupied by other hiders.
you are too late.
you know you're failed but you keep looking for the 5th one convincing yourself that you can hide.
it's a metaphor.
but...
nowhere to hide.
only the fight is left.
