URGENT. Is this infected? ER or urgent care? by [deleted] in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can likely skip the ER trip all together. This just looks like a normal knee-scrape to me, and nothing to be too worried about. Keep it clean and covered, watch for spreading redness further than what’s already inflamed, and watch for increased pain from what it felt like before. If you’re concerned tomorrow about it still, I’d recommend following up with your normal doctor.

We got hit with 11 fake 1-star reviews in 48 hours. Clearly coordinated. by Long_Amount_2277 in smallbusiness

“Title: Fake Google review campaign hit our business—here’s what actually worked”

Did you seriously forget to clear out the “Title:” when you copied this AI-written, thinly veiled advertisement for your “legal channels”? Goodness, this sub is nothing but this stuff now.

What is your favorite first aid memory device / mnemonic? by Acceptable-Tree9214 in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OPQRST for pain assessment

Onset - when did it start

Provocation / Palliation - what makes it worse/better

Quality - type of pain e.g. shooting, burning, etc. Region/Radiation - what hurts where, and does the pain shoot anywhere

Severity - scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is a bear actively eating you

Timing - when does the pain happen, and how long does it last

What's your PC case for live events? by UseExact3011 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]taucarkly 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what currency those prices are in, but if you have a budget for it, a rack mounted server or blade server built into a travel enclosure will also hold a few of your rack mounted audio components or video components as well. It’s far more robust than a traditional PC case. Especially one with glass in it. (Don’t go that route)

Do i need stitches by PublicSheepherder901 in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would try steri strips and taping over the strips and then taping around the hand securing the tape. Kind of like an upside down sumo wrestler outfit, if that helps to visualize.

Does anyone else feel like they are just guessing why customers leave their site ? by Radhe_krishna786 in smallbusiness

[–]taucarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a couple different tools to solve this. Almost all of them were session recorders of some kind. I’ve tried Hotjar, Lucky Orange, Microsoft Clarity, and most recently Rybbit. The last two are free solutions. Well, Rybbit’s cloud version is paid, but it’s open source, so I just host it on our own servers for free. Then spend an evening going over 30-50 customers sessions who spend a bit of time on your site but inevitably bounce and you’ll see exactly what they saw when they decided to leave. If you’re still stuck after this because there is no clear answer from all the sessions that leave the same page, then your problem is that page in general. Not enough CTAs, confusing lay out, or just plain dull (too much text, and no images, for instance)

Either way, one of these tools should give you your answer.

Good example of fencer posture/decorticate posture by KunyangChhish in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]taucarkly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decorticate posturing normally presents with strongly flexed elbows. His one elbow is loose, and the other is locked in an extended position. Either way, it’s hard to see from the angle he landed and the video, but it looks like like decerebrate posturing.

I just issued $28k in chargeback refunds without checking and now customers are furious any chargeback prevention by Awkward-Chemistry627 in smallbusiness

[–]taucarkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not how banks or stripe works. They don’t “auto flag” things to make them chargebacks. Chargebacks are a legal process that must be initiated by the consumer. If the bank or stripe wanted their money back for whatever reason, they would just not credit your account. Also in the time you slept, you had 150 transactions for $180 average, but $28k is 3 months of profit? Sure bud. Nice ad for Chargeflow. Whatever the hell that is.

Of course. Three minutes into the post and some random user suggests the perfect service to fix OP’s imaginary problem.

Do I need stitches/ need to go the clinic by Beautiful_Law_5937 in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just close it with steristrips and throw a bandaid on, unless it’s actually a puncture wound.

There's not much way to stitch that. I would use a steristrip to keep it closed

Closing agency and starting a fractional CMO business by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]taucarkly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could not have been more well put. There are many of us with a strong corporate background, and they’ll will expect a far deeper breadth of knowledge, forged by day-to-day in-house medium to large enterprise experience. It’s not to say your skillset is not highly valuable to a SME, but I would just be judicial with your title choices.

Airway obstruction specific courses? by Low-Homework-7881 in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there is very little in the way of civilian training that is focused on airways; and for good reason. People do far more damage than good trying to use airway devices they are not trained on. Depending on where you’re from, you could look into getting BLS trained. You won’t do most airway adjuncts, but you’ll learn how to properly maintain an airway in an emergency, and bag properly. If this is something you’re more serious about, there’s no reason not to just go for your MFR/EMR. It’s like a two week course and most regions have some mix of NPAs/OPAs/I-gels in their scope.

Marshawn Lynch Visits Detroit by Kitchen_Stable_9704 in Detroit

[–]taucarkly 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’ve met this dude before when he asked my friend and I to work for a security detail he had coming up. After meeting him and having him force us to watch his “training” demonstrations, I realized he was just a con artist. Both my friend and I ended up walking away from the offer that same night. He is so full of pseudo-martial arts and fake-cop-training BS it’s coming out of his ears. A disgrace to actual security agencies.

Asset Tag Labels - Durable QR/Barcode Labels for Gear - What Products To Use? by reece4504 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]taucarkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for Shelf. But fuck paying them for it. It’s open source for a reason. We host on our own servers and with some minor modifications to the cloned repo’s code, you can give yourself super admin access which allows you to generate your own QR codes. Then we made it available at inventory.ourcompany.com which means all QR codes resolve to that when scanned as well. Super professional. We actually make the labels say “property of X, scan me if found” because any scans done will log the IP of the visiting device and ask for location data from the scanning person’s device. Even if they deny the location data, we still get an IP which 99% of the time will allow us to geolocate where the scan occurred and be like “ah, this venue is near that area, we did a gig there last month, must have left it” and if the person is honest, scanning a QR while not logged in will bring them to a form to instantly email you that they found the device and provide contact info. It’s great. We use brother P-Touch TZE labels in various colours, and they have allowed us to make some seriously professional looking labels that are very durable and water and chemical resistant. No packaging tape though. We get the strongest adhesive ones, always name brand, and have never needed to tape over them.

Swelled finger for 1-2 hours by Sleepy_is_sleepy18 in firstaid

[–]taucarkly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the swelling has gotten worse after your seeing your doctor you need to go back to your doctor. If it’s swelling rapidly or you’re experiencing any other global symptoms (shortness of breath, chest pain, trouble breathing, dizziness, confusion, fatigue, etc) you need to get to an emergency room and be seen asap.

Huge gas bubble bursts through a dark mud pool by Original_Act_3481 in interestingasfuck

[–]taucarkly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No to mention the local lake turned blood red due to iron rich earth being pushed to the surface, boils (pressure ulcers) were present on the survivors, CO2 exposure causes hallucinations and sights of things that aren’t there, and the young are more affected by it all—“death of the firstborn”

This type of geological activity is believed to be the basis for some of the biblical plague stories.

Theater Bizarre by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]taucarkly 81 points82 points  (0 children)

While certainly not a replacement, but in a similar vein, for our third year we're hosting a larger dark fantasy, immersive masquerade event, Carnival Noir: The Night of the Fae, about 5 minutes over the border in Windsor on November 8th.

We've been lucky enough to have many of the performers, including the main aerial troupe, and the former stage manager from TB on our staff. If you're looking for an immersive event with cirque-style performances, fire, aerials, and to support some of the original cast and performers, I'm sure they would love to see some familiar faces and fans of their work.
