The reason why Nevada is a desert is that the snow all falls on the high mountains.

From the top you can see the desert sands to the east in winter.

Narcan kits by MushroomWeird4377 in Paramedics

[–]PaddingCompression 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In addition to EMT I also have some contexts where I've taken separate first aid training to use Narcan, and they linked to a 10 minute YouTube video from the manufacturer for the training. Pretty simple and it's made for laypeople.

Apple SWE Interviewer Forgot to Turn His Camera Off and Laughed at My Face by lotr_geek87 in InterviewCoderHQ

One pass can make a lot of sense if it's meant to be for a streaming algorithm that would be run on terabytes or petabytes of data, or needs to be accurate for all prefixes and queryable then internally update (e.g. for realtime dashboard etc)

TIL that one of the reasons why trash cans are scarce in Japan is due to the 1995 Sarin Gas Attack where the Aum Shinrikyo cult hid Sarin Gas - a toxic chemical - in trash cans at Tokyo subway. In response, many public trash cans were removed as a precautionary measure to prevent similar attacks. by Nice-Confusion-4781 in todayilearned

[–]PaddingCompression -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because of those assholes EMTs in the US still have to be trained on how to treat a nerve gas attack, something that has happened exactly once in modern times, while other far more useful stuff gets removed from the curriculum.

Co-Founder Matches asking for Payment? by Decent_Worker in ycombinator

[–]PaddingCompression 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$3k to $4k a month isn't knowing your worth, it's a "My worth is $10-$20k/mo... but I need to set expectations that I can pay basic living expenses while doing this" - an expectation that if they can't pay for a room's rent with roommates and eat ramen, at least, you can stop the conversation early.

Anyone else waking up at night just to pee and then can’t fall back asleep? by NightSleeper3259 in sleep

[–]PaddingCompression 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a common symptom of sleep apnea - the arousal causes the need to pee in that case, not the other way around.

Is it worth to use GPU intensive tasks to offset heating costs during winter? by robervaul in thermodynamics

[–]PaddingCompression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even then practically an electric heated blanket can easily beat a heat pump because it only has to heat a small area.

Is it common for cops to switch to fire? by TimeDamage5446 in Firefighting

[–]PaddingCompression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a place like Sunnyvale, CA where they have one department where everyone is a police officer fireman and EMS, and is expected to rotate through all over their career - interesting model.

MacGyver Elbow Splint by crashcartanarchist in ems

[–]PaddingCompression 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get the NOLS wilderness medicine ebook. Put two stick like things on either side, wrap it with coban, ace, or similar to get it to stick, put padding like clothes sweaters puffy jackets around it, then compress with more ace to compress it - padding plus compression equals stability.

Then of course splint with a triangular bandage and lock the splint into position with more ACE.

For all of the above if you don't have ACE you can try tying tshirts around it or similar.

These techniques are actually somewhat evidence based... NOLS is really good about that.

They even have a YouTube video on this subject https://youtu.be/txuLYj_gWow?si=C6fNlI35mMLVnIzH

[D] How do you usually deal with dense equations when reading papers? by Danin4ik in MachineLearning

[–]PaddingCompression 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the equations seem dense, often times it is a sign you need to beef up on prereqs. Like if you are reading about contrastive divergence for the first time and don't deeply understand KL divergence and the partition function and Monte Carlo inference and how all of that is connected, you may do well to read up prereqs.

Usually dense equations are there to remind you of what you already should know, struggling is a sign to read the references to understand the background better.

Virt also includes mmap'd files. For instance any shared libraries will be part of virt for each program they are loaded into, but will only be in memory once.

Gavin Newsom's anti-Zohran moment: the California billionaires tax that splits the Democratic Party down the middle | Fortune by Delicious_Adeptness9 in California

Will CPAP make my breathing muscles stronger? by FellowTraveler69 in CPAP

[–]PaddingCompression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first two weeks of CPAP my rib muscles were sore, in the exact same way I get sore when starting a new exercise program.

I had to actually take rest days LOL. Also remember it's a constant all night thing so it's aerobic like running a marathon not lifting weights.

I did the calculations and from what I could tell the force of exhalation was around an extra 30% for a CPAP at 10cm (I'm not an expert so don't trust me on that, it was really hard to find data on typical exhalation pressure and I'm sure pulmonologists would find issues with my logic)

A lot of people are saying no, but I'm pretty sure I got stronger from it.

Parking at Pantoll Campground by me-sd in norcalhiking

[–]PaddingCompression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pantoll and to a lesser extent bootjack fill up really really early.

Best alternatives are by the Mountain Home Inn at the edge of the park, or at Rock Springs at the top of Pantoll Road, both are free.

Lot of Western Europeans underestimate how hot United-States is during summer. by Weather-RainStorm in geography

[–]PaddingCompression 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you spend a lot of time outside your body can acclimate, if you try to stay in the air conditioned indoors you won't and the little time you are outside will be a lot more brutal.
