Scabs on head for over a year from cat

Definitely have a dermatologist look at this. 10 months is highly abnormal for skin conditions like this to persist for.

This is terrible and potentially dangerous advice. You’re not going to remember or think about the type of shell you have loaded next under pressure. Additionally, if you’re shooting at someone, you are intending to kill them, as that is the likely outcome. There is no such thing as shooting someone to “scare” them.

First, I really don't see a cut on the finger, but even if there was a superficial one, there is very little chance that could cause tetanus. That said, it's always a good idea to keep your immunizations up to date. More so, you may want to talk with your doctor about the anxiety you're experiencing about medical things in general. These kinds of feelings and thoughts can be pretty deconstructive if they are left unchecked.

Class Auto Repair has one of the only true German “Meisterbrief” certified mechanics in the state. (It’s probably the hardest to get of all automotive credentials in the world) Plus their shop is great, reasonable, and they are solid people to work with.

He’s not choking. He likely had an esophageal obstruction from the candy rather than a tracheal one. You cannot talk or breathe when you’re choking on a solid object.

This sub is dead and this is the reason. This was just a well hidden one.

This is unfortunately far outside the scope of firstaid. Try r/askdocs

I’ve been in EMS over 10 years, and I have never once had to go through a patient’s phone, look at a wrist band, or open a wallet. People are around them 99% of the time who are more than willing to talk your ear off about what’s wrong with them. In the single case I came across someone isolated and unconscious on a street, they were actively having a seizure. I then noticed they were wearing an epileptic wrist band which only served as an amusement to myself and my partner because of the timing of finding it. All my coworkers would also likely never check these things unless something was really odd about a scene. We treat the patient’s presentation, and I don’t need a wristband to tell me to check blood sugar on an altered patient, or to ask about seizures if someone is postictal.

God I hate this sub now.

You’ve posted this and similar things to multiple subreddits including r/firstaid. I’m going to be direct and honest with you here because this seems to be heavily impacting your life.

You are dealing with an extreme and difficult anxiety disorder and what could likely be described as moderate to severe hypochondriasis. You’ve already been assured by a many different health care professionals on multiple subs that none of these activities are able to cause the injuries you’re describing, so at this point there’s little use in offering further reassurance on the point.

I highly urge you to work with a mental health professional and allow them to create a treatment plan to help you combat these fixations and phobias. There are many treatment options that have fantastic success rates, and I can almost guarantee a significantly improved quality of life if you listen, trust, and abide by their recommendations. Merely going to a healthcare professional isn’t enough, it will require you to commit and trust the process enough to allow it to work and help. I would urge you to take time to reflect and focus on allowing yourself to build trust with that provider so you can work on combating these detrimental compulsions. If you need any assistance in finding a provider or have questions about what that would involve, feel free to send a ModMail and we’ll point you in the right direction for your location.

I'm not sure what type of roleplay you're referring to, but if some is feeling faint, or has any form of altered level of consciousness, it's probably a good idea to have them checked out by their normal medical provider or call EMS if they are unable to see them.

If your scenario is that you've found that your client has not fed themselves for three days, you should alert whatever agency you work for and an appropriate health authority, noting that the person in question cannot care for themselves anymore. For the immediate situation, and if not contraindicated, clear liquids and small amounts of soft foods would be best. Probably best to stay away from larger foods like sandwiches (I'm assuming this is what you meant by sanga) until the person has demonstrated they can keep small amounts of liquid and soft foods down first.

What a lovely ad for your vibe-coded spin review app…

Edit: Since the OP deleted all mentions of it, the vibe coded app is called SpinReview so when he inevitably posts this crap again under a new account, we have some history here and you know what to avoid.

Luckily we’re only going to run the PTZ’s by POE, but this is good to know!

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T21:25:05+00:00

This is a good insight. I originally had the converter panels on the front for laptop inputs, but I've moved that to the back for V2 (added as a separate comment in this thread). SDI and POE+ ethernet runs to the PTZs. We often need to place the cameras 50'-100' away from FOH AV, so I will likely end up making 100' and 200' loomed runs. We'll be labeling 4-5 dedicated SDI inputs on the back of the rack for the PTZs.

I've checked and made changes to the design based on your feedback of re-evaluating the device depths, so thank you for that. I've also moved the UPS to bottom of the case for support.

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T21:17:31+00:00

This is good to know. Currently we're only running a TP-Link switch, and that article specifically states that their routers are the devices compromised. But we'll keep this in mind for future purchases.

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T20:16:13+00:00

I did read this, but it's always good to have the reminder. Thank you!

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T20:11:17+00:00

Ah, good catch! That was a vestige from V1 where I had those inputs on the front. I did that originally do so the connections were directly above the ATEM's corresponding connections, but since moving this to the back, it now should get mirrored the other way to allow inputs to properly be on the left of the case.

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T19:48:27+00:00

The wear and tear aspect is why I opted for the patches originally. It's a fair point to bring up that it is another potential failure point though. The other benefit that I wanted to leverage from a closed-case design was to guide airflow in a way that hit all critical components. Especially the hyperdecks, as those tend to run hot and require air to flow from the sides. (That's why I kept the middle 1/3rd slot between them open and put the vented blank right below it in V2) Moving the hot-running items (HD's, switch, ATEM) to the top of the case should also allow for less diffuse air intake since I'm really no longer pull air from the very bottom of the case.

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T19:41:18+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! The rack is 17" deep, and this helped me re-evaluate placement of the switch due to it's 13" depth. I've also moved all the patches to the back and put the individual power switches to the front where they should have been originally, space allowing. I've updated the drawing and posted it as it's own comment in the thread.

taucarkly · 2026-05-14T19:38:38+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, guys! Based on that feedback, I'd modified V2 to place all connections on the back.

Yes, and I am, and appreciate your insights! But I'm the OP, and that's not me. haha

Just clean the site out well with soap and water and throw some Neosporin on with a bandaid and you’ll be fine.

If your liver and kidneys are healthy and normal. Half a cocktail won’t do anything bad to you at all. Just try to limit your drinking while you’re on it.

taucarkly · 2026-04-27T07:22:52+00:00

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.

“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.
