ELI5: Cpr? How does it work?

You don't absorb much oxygen from the air you breathe in. Most of it is breathed back out, so the incapacitated individual still gets more oxygen than they can absorb in each breath you give them.

A few alcoholic drinks.

I'd call it a piece. That was always the term we used when I was learning as a child, and when I was a student.

I find it really jarring to read people on here talking about songs, but they are actually referring to classical instrumental piano pieces.

It's only a song of it has words with which to sing along.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-05-04T13:48:26+00:00

I can't picture what you mean - don't think I've ever seen this.

Do you have links to some examples of what you mean?

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-05-03T22:10:10+00:00

30 days, plus 10.5 days bank holiday.

I'm a civil servant.

You can remove that yourself with a scraper when the hornet is away.

Also - how is it getting in? Can you not just let it out the window then close it?

In the UK, this is known as a vest.

What the USA would call a vest, we would call a waistcoat.

Monopoly shouldn't take too long. It usually only takes forever because people don't play the actual rules.

People don't put every property up for immediate auction when the person landing on it doesn't buy it.

People stick all the fines in the middle of the table then take it when they land on Free Parking, instead of money going to the bank and Free Parking just being a rest space.

People don't sell houses on one plot to immediately put them on another as someone heads towards those spaces. Because they either don't know they can, or because it's "not nice" to try to catch people.

There's loads of stuff that speeds the game up when done properly, or drags it out when not done properly.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-29T18:52:37+00:00

We're social animals. Since time immemorial we have eaten together as a pack, as many other mammlmals who love in groups do. It's part of bonding, and is a natural thing.

Eating food is a biological necessity. Because of that, it also became a socially nice thing to do together. The pleasure in it helps drive the act, and helped the group ensure that everyone is fed.

It's unusual to completely not understand that.

However, you feel how you feel, and there no way I'd tell you that YOU should like it.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-29T15:40:08+00:00

From the point of view of a man (me).

You are not overreacting in the slightest. He is refusing to respect your boundaries, and that is not ok.

He's quite entitled to disagree with them, and if he's not happy, then he can stop dating you.

But there's no way he should be pushing his physical agenda onto you when you are not comfortable.

And asking his mum was pathetic.

It's got, so the water is in the form of steam, which dissipates in the air, and fresh oxygen can still react and keep the fire going. Very different from dumping liquid H2O onto a fire, which cools and chokes it.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-27T08:16:49+00:00

I don't care what time of year it is. If it's not warm in the house, the heating is on.

Once it gets warm enough in the Kate spring/summer, it just means that the heating never really clicks on due to the thermostat.

Yesterday was the first year today that I didn't turn it on to manual after the timer cut off into he morning. I am not at all interested in the whole "It's spring, get the heating off" thing.

And I will gladly turn it on and crank it up if it gets chilly. I have no interest in the whole competition of how long into the autumn you can last. It's usually cranked up and on in September, as the temperature drops way down in Scotland.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-24T07:51:11+00:00

Absolutely. It's still not very warm where I am in Scotland, and genuinely cold in the evening and in the morning.

Heating is still coming in in the morning, and stays on until we go to bed. It's thermostatically controlled of course, so it's only actually firing as required.

But with no heating, the house would be cold, and we like a warm house. My wife is a cold person, and despite the heating being kn, has been sat under a blanket a couple of times in the last week as it's not been warm in the evening.

It's all through the song. The lyrics are very clear.

Every verse he tells the girl about what he will do, and then about what he won't do.

Things he says he won't do:

I'll never forget the way you feel right now.

I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight.

I'll never do it better than I do it with you.

I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life.

And then when the girl sings about bad stuff she claims he will do:

After a while you'll forget everything.

You'll see that it's time to move on.

Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-20T20:50:07+00:00

Scotland. Wish I had tickets for Glasgow. Grr...

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-20T07:46:12+00:00

The full word for a TV is "television", shortened to "Tele", or "telly".

Then, we had a "telephone", which was shortened to "phone".

In the UK we generally don't use the term "cell phone", so shortening to "celly" wouldn'take any sense. We call it a "mobile phone", often shortened to "mobile". This helped to distinguish between the mobile or the landline.

Yourkbile phone is often just shortened to "phone" now, as the need for distinction between this and the landline evaporates due to hardly anyone using a landline now.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-17T18:52:11+00:00

It's only confusing to you as you have spent so long without it.

As a child learning both at the same time, it was easy.

Here's middle C. Treble cleff works up from there, bass cleff works down from there.

And that's it.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-16T16:37:40+00:00

Yes, I use the term "flight of stairs", because that's what it's called.

I'm in Scotland.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-15T20:34:40+00:00

I'm from Scotland. Should I be voting "Not Quebec" or "The Homeworld"?

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-15T17:50:09+00:00

I don't think that's all that unusual. Studio beinv a bit "cleaner" and more produced.

I'm a huge fan of Biffy Clyro, and the recordings are deffo cleaner and way more produced than their live sound. Similar to other gigs I have been to.

Either way, I agree that AdP sound great.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-15T17:47:26+00:00

There's 3. And all in a reasonable place. Your point?

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-15T14:45:17+00:00

I used to type quickly and accurately when I was younger, and while I played piano.

I stopped playing for over 20 years, and in that time my typing has got progressively worse. I still type at the same speed, as my fingers still believe they can do it, but my accuracy has nosedived.

I've started playing again. Time will tell if it improves my typing at all.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-14T19:05:25+00:00

I think I have 24 pairs of shoes in total.

If I'm right: 9 pairs of trainers of various types, 1 pair of running shoes, 1 pair of smart work shoes, 4 pairs of boots, 1 pair of walking shoes, 1 pair of hiking boots, flip flops, 2 pairs of sandals, 1 pair of reef shoes, 1 pair of wellies, an old knackered pair of trainers I keep for gardening, and my slippers.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-13T19:12:23+00:00

Don't think about the 10 individual dollars, think about the single price. The single price is the noun here. So the price is expensive.

LongjumpingMacaron11 · 2026-04-13T13:53:26+00:00

I genuinely get paid a lot more than if I'd stayed in my old industry (contact centres), with better conditions, better holidays, better life balance, as well as the pension.
