- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 10 hours ago:
This video is surprisingly good and covers:
- You can’t talk to 911 (or equivalent) if you’re chocking
- Ideally go where people might see you
- How to try to dislodge what you’re chocking on if no-one helps
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 11 hours ago:
The only times I’ve been a bit worried have been eating chicken that I could get down with water so not really the same thing but sometimes I’ve it’s gotten difficult enough I’ve wondered if I’ll need a bit of help, but that’s not really choking or close to blackout. Unfortunately the times I remember I’ve been alone, in an apartment building 10+ floors up in a foreign country. Agreed the safest bet is others but based on those situations I think there are times where it’s tough to guarantee another person will see you and I was aiming to learn what my last resort should be.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 16 hours ago:
The more eyes the better and this seems to be the recommendation:
If the person goes quiet, cannot speak or cry, or can only weakly cough, you want to start with five strong back blows first. With the person bent forward at their hips, deliver firm glancing blows between their shoulder blades using the heel of your hand up to five times.
If the obstruction does not clear, switch to abdominal thrusts. Continue alternating five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the obstruction is cleared or the person becomes unconscious.
I’m still looking for what to do if I’m alone and something happens.
The article also uses the text “In the updated guidelines, our Canadian study was cited to inform this critical change, and was the only study directly comparing different choking techniques.” to link here:

But I see no mention of any of these directions there. If someone does, let me know where I’m scanning over.

True, but when it started my feeds were peoples dumb photos not a curated feeds to build influencers. The memes are most noticeable for this, there was very little vaccine nonsense

I’m just some arrogant guy on the internet and not some arbiter of correctness, but something along the lines of adding a link pointo the original material along with the amazing image and quote. I think it would be this:
apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260207.html
But, it seems like I sent the wrong link before so that probably confused things. Sorry about that

I’m glad to see people finding interesting and beautiful things to post, I just don’t understand copying content and not sharing the link. Copying to me is a quick “that’s pretty”. Sharing the link helps the creator and anyone new that wants to learn more about the content. It’s such a small amount of work from the poster so that everyone that sees it can get a little more out of it.
Mostly though, I just don’t understand why you attributed so well, taking the time to format links and look them up, but didn’t do a quick copy paste of where you saw it. I’m not even trying to have a dig at your behaviour here, it’s just something I don’t relate to.
I hope you keep posting, I just think the link adds a lot and helps avoid things like CG.

Why go to so much effort with the credits but not deep link to post on NASA’s picture of the day?

Its a video so tough to quickly scan, but to keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

I think this is the wrong language to look for an answer. Japanese has a lot more mimetic words. I’m guessing anime has this pretty well established but I don’t read it

Yeah, by memory Rupert Murdoch had his hand at that and in Aus and the UK. I’d love to see that reined in again too

Humans have been killing each other as long as we’ve existed isn’t an argument to avoid trying to make it happen less

For others here, I use kagi and turned the LLM summaries off recently because they weren’t close to reliable enough for me personally so give it a test. I use LLMs for some tasks but I’m yet to find one that’s very reliable for specifics

- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 4 weeks ago:
I think some of why is related to how most people in a traffic jam go “damn this traffic” not “damn, I’m making this worse”

That’s evidence for some people having more than a knee jerk response, it’s far from statistically saying it’s the most common rationale. Smart people are also amazing at having a knee jerk reaction and then making it sound well reasoned with clever arguments.
I agree its not just a knee jerk reaction, and I know I don’t have a good basis for how many are knee jerk vs rationalised but I do know I’ve been around plenty of people that seem to have a knee jerk reaction and plenty that demonise the culture, hell half the world is being bullied not to have windmills and some of that is blanket anything green is dumb
- Comment on Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans? 4 weeks ago:
It’s probably more than “reliant on good-faith actors”. The Perils of Presidentialism by Juan J. Linz in 1990 is a decent paper comparing the instability of parliamentary democracies vs presidential democracies. Parliamentary democracies aren’t perfect, we have Hungary, but in hindsight it shouldn’t be surprising that presidential two party democracies are unstable. If you get two ideologies that are different enough then the government swings between the ideologies with the executive pushing for its side and opposite side getting angrier until, after a few oscillations of increasing amplitude, something snaps.

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources
I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back
- Comment on Io in True Color 4 weeks ago:
Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

Although agreed that there is a pretty large issue with some people treating some bros online as a trusted source of information and not getting the obvious red flag that they are selling these same products.

Since this link wasn’t part of your post, and your post kind of prescribes health actions from news releases, I’d argue you’re making a separate mostly independent point here

The page hidden behind the text “in a statement” has a lot more information and I think is better written (but longer):
vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/…/archaeologists-reveal-a-m…
It’s only at 13 metres and seems to be excavated as part of construction work. I think that explains the diving gear, I don’t think I’m familiar with it at all
