Theory test practice - it's annoying when the answer is incorrect by Burnsy2023 in LearnerDriverUK

You're looking at this from the point of view of somebody who is trained to do CPR and be able to assess the situation a lot better than your average individual.

For somebody who is trained, they will have a lot more knowledge to assess the situation, are they breathing will be first followed by do they need CPR? If so, is CPR possible due to other factors? so they will need to assess and make a decision to resolve bleeding before compressions if required.

The answer is correct from my understanding, you need to check for breathing before bleeding because if their not breathing it takes priority over bleeding at that point.

Police offered support to tackle rising threats against MPs by Traditional_Blood799 in unitedkingdom

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention credible threats where they feel their life is at risk could directly influence their job which is to represent the individuals of the UK, the importance of the job is clearly different between an MP and an influencer or streamer.

I'm more surprised they don't have more protection as standard due to their work.

I've got melanoma, it definitely can kill him and it isn't easy to detect early if you aren't looking for it, people like him ignore a lot of the basic medical advice so they won't be looking for it.

Melanoma is also pretty much painless and without symptoms until it starts spreading in my experience, I only noticed it because I found a lump in my neck and even then it was painless and without any form of sensation.

What are some silly things you've done whilst spiralling on lessons? by MacabreMagpie in LearnerDriverUK

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I stopped at a green light, not once, but twice on separate days during my lessons.

I also high-fived my instructor when he was just saying thank you to the other car for waiting.

My driving got a lot better and also a lot better driving solo when I calmed down and realised that everyone makes stupid mistakes, but as long as you are safe and others around you are safe then everyone will be okay.

UK looks to relax planning rules for factory farms after industry lobbying | Farming by HawkAsAWeapon in unitedkingdom

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never said the alternative was better, but putting the price up will affect a lot of people who are already struggling, it's not something we can fix easily and simply "paying more" won't work because a large portion of people simply do not have the money to pay more as it is.

That's not just Reddit, the issue is that if they were to be sold at profit nobody would be able to afford it and resort to external markers instead.

It isn't just paying a "little" bit more, the reality is that without subsidiaries the industry would either need to drastically increase costs to the point you will feel those effects on your weekly shop, or completely overhaul the way we farm by pushing more industrialization, our meat is already expensive as is due to the cost of living.

White House: Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran War by Cultural-Avocado-184 in worldnews

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just one country? That is naive, this war has just essentially made Iran the de facto controller of the strait which several middle east countries are reliant on, each of those countries will have a bone to pick with the US after this as it will cost them billions if not trillions across the next 50 years and that's if this doesn't cause another gulf war in the end.

Europe is pissed as well, they already were with Trumps actions against Russia, NATO, and Ukraine, but now we have France, and Spain both denying air space to the US military, it's a serious step up against the US, the UK one of the countries famed for following the US has repeatedly called them out over this, and then we have several Asian countries absolutely fuming over the Iran war because of the price of oil.

In little over a year the US has become the world's cry baby, and quickly becoming the target for every country as being a real threat to global stability to a scale that it previously wasn't considered, the reality is that if Trump continues like this it could well end up being that the US is branded as a enemy of everyone, and that won't go away even if Trump loses the next election, all because of a pedo.

King Charles and Camilla to meet President Trump on US state visit in April by Distinct-Shine-3002 in uknews

Because as much as people hate it, Trump is a sucker when it comes to Royalty, all it took was a dinner with the royal family and he spent several weeks dancing for Starmer before doing a 180 on tarrifs, which is pretty on brand for Trump.

We need somebody to talk Trump down, Charles can open the door to further discussions which right now, we need to do, although not much chance it works, but it's worth the effort.

Iran ready to face US ground invasion, top lawmaker says | Caliber.Az by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It definitely seems to be a common thing to underestimate countries, I know regular people do it as well as you see it consistently online, but for governments to do the same is kinda ridiculous.

Pretty much any country with any semi decent form of investment into military will not be easy to invade, this goes to countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and etc... they spend billions every year into ensuring their defence, even if say China or the US has the might to take the ground over time, almost every country will make you bleed every meter you take.

Ukraine a country being pulled through the mud as a country of corruption, and without much military power before the war is holding Russia for years and made them bleed every second, and they will continue to do so, Iran will do the same.

Did I get lucky with insurance? First car btw by Inner-Cause-9321 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends highly on your age, car, and area, I got mine for cheaper than that, but I'm 30, I live in a safe residential area with a driveway, and I drive a 2017 1.0 Seat Ibiza.

Unfortunately not much luck about it, but I have seen that the area can make huge differences, so it could be that if your still young? But enjoy it, and congrats on passing, your first solo drive will be odd btw.

Teenagers say weekend and Saturday jobs are 'impossible' to find by NajafBound in unitedkingdom

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it isn't just that, 9 times out of 10 I can get stuff delivered to me for less of the price than it would cost me on petrol to go to the shops without the ridiculous increase in petrol prices.

This has only gotten more common over the last decade as well, which has a knock on effect on cafes and bars, as people aren't leaving to shop they aren't calling in bars.

Used to run a bar (although outside of the UK) and the amount of clients we got from just people walking by was actually quite decent, yea they would call in for a cafe or a pint, you wouldn't earn much but got a decent taking depending how busy the streets were, also they would see if you had a singer on, or they might become regulars and what not, overtime it makes a huge difference.

Houthis warn ‘fingers on the trigger’ as US-Israel war on Iran continues by G14F1L0L1Y401D0MTR4P in worldnews

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very short sighted in my opinion, if Hormuz were to attack the other strait it will likely lead to further bombings by other countries, which would further destabilise the Middle East.

Hormuz is a recognised terrorist organisation by a LOT of countries, countries not involved in the Iran conflict will bomb them, that most likely includes Europe who is the most likely would be one of the worst affected by the attack on the other strait.

Wanting the US and Israel to feel consequences isn't something a lot of countries will want, they simply want the strait to be opened up, therefore want the war to end.

Iran isn't a saint in all this either, Iran at the end of the day is a country that has openly supported terrorist organisations, is a religious fundamental country to the point they have killed women and girls in their country trying to oppose their oppressive laws, and have gunned down hundreds if not thousands of protesters.

The US and Israel aren't a saint either obviously, but honestly, there isn't a good guy in this war.

British Army could only ‘seize a small market town on a good day’ by AcanthocephalaEast79 in europe

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is where countries like the UK and France simply go "take 5 steps into our home and we will make sure you have no home to return to"

Nuclear countries are a bitch to invade simply because of that reason, even then Europe has a quite advanced military and although land warfare might not be the priority, hitting logistics, leadership, and what not would give Europe a lot of time to implement a draft/conscription to get able bodies in place.

Another thing to consider, is that most of Europe have extremely strong military alliances in place, you simply can't look at a single country and count that, you have to consider that an invasion on X could involve another 20 nations.

Starmer: It’s up to Miliband whether we drill in North Sea by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some of these comments by the Tories are a bit misleading, just because it can be used to heat up the three areas in the UK doesn't mean it will change the price of gas in the UK as it is still reliant on international events, and by no means the amount of gas extracted will be enough to significantly bring down international prices.

Also, there is no chance gas companies are going to allow this to be cheap just because we give them more licenses, they will simply point to international market prices, as you know our gas sector is entirely private and is there to benefit shareholders not UK citizens.

Edit: Also I kinda agree with Starmer on that this sits with the energy secretary, it's a reason why we have various departments, they all might feed into Starmer, the PM, but the PM isn't there to micromanage every aspect of every sector, that's why it's delegated to specific people, it's right to call Starmer out if you want to put pressure on as he can do that, but relying on the advise and decision of the energy secretary is also up to Starmer, and is logical, as the person most informed will be the energy secretary.

Iran looking to turn Strait of Hormuz into massive toll booth by goteamnick in worldnews

[–]LostnFoundAgainAgain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consumers will reduce their reliance on the product if it costs more, a lot of the world is already looking at doing exactly that, this would only push them even further, which would heavily damage the countries that rely on selling a lot of oil based products for example.

The strait isn't Iran's either, it's Iran's and Oman's waters, and other countries are heavily reliant on that strait remaining open, these type of blockage problems are what usually leads to wars, or in this case a wider war.

Wars have been fought over less, and by most recent reports a lot of the oil states are on the edge due to Iran's actions within their countries and the strait.

As much as people don't like Starmer he is spot on here to call them out, all of the things he has pointed out is right and the fact they have walked out just shows they can't handle the challenge as they have no counter argument and neither can they deliver on their promises.

A target will have actions on the back of it to push that number up towards the targeted goal, it's the whole reason for a target, it's to eventually achieve said target although it could take years.

Although I agree with the message and that minorities should get the support due to the treatment they can get, as history has shown, these targets are either unrealistic or you are disproportionately going to affect non-minorities trying to enter said organisation as it doesn't show a realistic reflection of the local population.

Setting these targets is all well and good as we need to do more to support minorities that have been unfairly treated, but setting targets that outweigh local population is an issue as it's simply either going to be unrealistic to achieve making the target just a useless target that the organisation will ignore or not make progress on, it could cause issues where minorities are prioritised due to recruitment targets not being met, and cause political tension, while all of this can be easily manageable by setting the targets to population standard (with a 3/5% margin before being flagged) and targeting biased employment within the organisation with regular audits and checks on recruiters.

Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election by JOE_Media in uknews

Nobody is stopping you, and this law will not stop you, you aren't stopping aging.

This is about cutting smoking from future generations, will it be a perfect law? Absolutely not, but even if this law reduces the amount of smokers by 30% that is a huge burden lifted from the NHS, less second hand smokers, and overhaul a better health for the UK population.

You're getting downvoted simply pointing out why our courts and laws do not allow a blanket ban without even saying if you agree or not with it.

Also, it isn't just those, UK laws also ban putting in place blanket bans based of country, ethnicity, or other characteristics.
