Huh, been a while since I’ve seen you around SMCF! Glad you’re still up to your hijinx.

I’m assuming you’ve contacted 911 / emergency services since you know that the ambulance is 20 minutes away. In that case, the dispatcher will step you through an emergency diagnosis and if such an extreme action is warranted either they will put you in touch with a medical professional who can instruct you on safe procedure, or they will be a qualified paramedic and instruct you themselves. However that is EXTREMELY unlikely, tracheotomy are almost never warranted (outside of television) in emergency situations, as stabbing someone in the neck is not a trivial thing to do. In my region the procedure isn’t even taught to first responders (Edit: I was half wrong, paramedics still learn it but EMTs do not) (Edit 2: No, I was right! Neither are taught it) as it’s long been surpassed by modern intubation techniques and treatments like fast-acting anaphylaxis medications.
In short, follow the guidelines you are taught in your first aid class and contact emergency services. Don’t stab someone in the neck.
So… how do you tell an airway obstruction requiring an improvised tracheotomy and a similarly-presenting respiratory distress (resulting from, say, catastrophically low blood potassium) apart? Because if you get that wrong suddenly someone, who needed at worst an hour of IV therapy and a flintstone chewable to make a full recovery, is drowning in their own blood.
Well we have vintage books and comedy gold…
Oh my apologies, I did not intend to imply it’s impossible to get down there, just that the resources needed to recover the treasure aren’t ones that can be surreptitiously obtained. There just aren’t all that many ROVs in the world capable of this work, so while the act of getting down there and looting it isn’t difficult, getting away with it after the fact is the challenging part.
(also the depth claim is… well there’s a few reasons to be skeptical of it. This whole saga is already rife with accusations of coverups and intentional deception, and both parties involved are incredibly motivated to lie about it for their own gain. It’s good to take anything either side announces with a big ol’ skepticism pill…)
Not them but also an instructor - where I teach, we’re having to pivot sharply towards grades being based mostly on performance in labs and in person quiz/test results. Its really unfortunate since there are many students with test anxiety and labs are really exhausting to turn into evaluation instead of instruction, but it’s the only workable solution we’ve been able to figure out.
Hands on, like engage with prior material on the subject and formulate complex ideas based on that…?
Sarcasm aside, asking students to do something in lab often requires them to have gained an understanding of the material so they can do something, an understanding they utterly lack if they use AI to do their work. Although tbf this lack of understanding in-person is really the #1 way we catch students who are using AI.
I decidedly don’t “loot”, I “acquire”. Usually by having have my ambassador nab things while nobody’s looking. Much more respectable, I’m sure we all agree.
Colombia has declared it an important cultural heritage site; a limited archeological survey is underway while techniques are developed to allow for the excavation and preservation of the site. (Edit: the first artefacts were recovered a few days ago!). There’s also lots (30+ years) of lawsuits and drama that is too tedious to summarize but everyone sucks (although imo its good that the Colombian government seems to have emerged victorious over SSA, after umpteen years of them being just total dicks to each other. Go check out the wikipedia page, it’s pretty fun.)
As to why it hasn’t been looted, the location has been kept a secret but we can guess it’s down -deep- deep, by the type of UUV (AUV?) used in the discovery. This means that anyone who knows where it is still has to have the resources to actually go down and loot it, and ultra-deep equipment like that is pretty hard to come by.
It’s literally not, though…?
So this is 100% entirely reporting about a procedural change in how weather events are announced in alaska, but in the most obnoxious way possible? Jesus. We don’t need dumb troll jokes about climate change, we can all see the changes happening, we need mature coverage and someone to youtube the exxon mobile execs…
I think it’s more that it’s hard to explain why palantir’s war crimes are war crimes (to the average uninformed voter, to be clear. Information warfare, what an abstract concept), but “My Child’s Classmates Digitally Removed Her Clothes” is pretty easy to explain (and the country isn’t divided about pedophilia even being a crime…)
The post is satirically calling this walking, not that the situation itself is satire.
Pff, like anyone considers those to be “problems” /s
It wasn’t even big news here, so it wouldn’t have been hard to miss if you weren’t following specifically usa political outlets. We like to hide all the juiciest drama behind the most boring court proceedings, because we suck as a country.
or… something like that.
Eehng… the fraud was mostly done against other rich conservatives & the NRA members themselves, so there wasn’t much of a way to convince people it was all the fault of liberals. Plus you can’t let everyone get away with it, so just throw the most inept ones under the bus occasionally and chalk it up as an example of conservative self-regulation.
As strange as it is to say, conservatives dislike open hypocrisy as much as everyone else. They just usually are lead by the hand to a way of thinking that lets them process the open hypocrisy of their leaders in a way that doesn’t feel hypocritical, and most of them completely lack the critical thinking skills to figure it out on their own (because defunding the educational system has been conservative action item #1 for decades and now they can reap the fruits of their labor…).
But the NRA shit with russia then the whole fraud scandal were impossible to spin. Seriously, that was such a bad look. Even the true born-red gun nuts I know lost any respect for the NRA when it all came out.
It (nudify) makes AI look bad and is the leading example people are using when proposing legislation to regulate AI. If they can end this prominent thing, not only do they look like they’re fighting for the users, but they help keep the gvmt from meddling with whatever henious shit they want to do with AI (by removing the best argument the pro-regulation groups have right now)
It’s not infrequent that people will just dismiss whatever these people are brining because it’s not worth it to deal with their infinite heaps of bullshit. Much less common in the court system, but it still does happen sometimes. Add to it that a lot of SovCits just lie, having been forced to pay the fine or w/e, then will go on facebook and claim it was their word soup that did it and “hey guys, I totally didn’t have to pay using this one weird trick! Give me social capital!” and so on, and you project a pretty tempting image of what the SovCit Secret Arts can do for you!
I think we already knew they’d taken over Customs and Immigration. This is yet more of the same shit they’ve been pulling for decades - just more blatant and with a lot more coverage than usual, which is nice that people are finally seeing what they’re doing. Eyes-on is, despite the lack of rebellious glamour, a critical thing to have…
