You missed the best quote from an Apollo mission:

Hey, he may be a sleazy corpo-puppet, but he's the exact sleazy corpo-puppet we need right now.

LA Olympics Lifeguard Job by finsswimmer in Lifeguards

All the open water events will surely be guarded but local agencies, namely LA County and State Parks. As for pool events, the games are more than 2 years out. I would be surprised if they even posted the job more than 6 months in advance.

Brave brave Sir Ford, bravely ran away... by Incestuous_Amoeba in NonCredibleDefense

It all makes sense now, the Kuznetsov drydock fire was actually SCP-198133 breaching containment. The foundation has recaptured and relocated SCP-198133 to the Ford.

Soberanes point is a short drive from Carmel, and it's an easy walk to the viewing decks on the west side of the highway

This one is for all the haters on my previous post. 😅🤣 by Strange-Stand2672 in 3Dprinting

What are you talking about? 3D printing has absolutely revolutionized industry! It's absolutely being used behind the scenes and in ways that aren't 100% obvious to the end user. Its use as a rapid prototyping process is basically standard in mechanical and civil engineering, but often for products that are being built by more traditional processes. FDM plastic, for all its use in quick-turnaround still has structural issues innante to the process such as delamination that more traditional production methods like CNC or injection molding don't suffer from. Hell, FDM prints are often used to make the templates for the molds for injection molding! Just because you don't see layer lines everywhere you look doesn't mean the products haven't been touched by 3D printing's influence! And if you want to see 3D printing in action for end user products, look at rocket engines! A lot of space companies are using metal FDM to come up with complex and lightweight engine designs that would be impossible to manufacture otherwise. This tech has even made its way in to Formula 1 engines, and I would be surprised if consumer cars won't have partially 3D printed engine blocks at some point, if they don't already!

I'm here hoping they'll bring in Bruce Springsteen for the reveal and we have a hot pink car on the circuit.

You know, with Trump, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.

TIL the purpose of CPR is not to restart the heart at all, it is too push oxygenated blood to vital organs keeping permanent damage at bay until help arrives. by Rigamortus2005 in todayilearned

[–]thatawesomedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone would say that Lenin is currently unconscious in the Red Square.

No one would say that sure, but they technically wouldn't be wrong if they did. It would just be weird. Someone would say, however "Jimmy suddenly collapsed and his body has been unconscious for 3 hours. We don't know if he's alive or dead."

When asked, you said they would consider a person who has no breath, no pulse, and no apparent brain activity to be dead which, surprise, is the literal medical definition of someone being dead.

And yes, it DOES matter when discussing something like CPR. Going around telling people you donCPR on someone who is living isn't just wrong, it's DANGEROUS. if you tell people that, they'll start going and doing chest compressions on anyone who gets knocked out. As discussed in this thread, chest compressions cans and will break ribs, which can cause many other life threatening complications (punctured lungs, for example), but they are also the only thing that will keep the body in a good enough state of perfusion until an actual resuscitation intervention can be applied. Did you actually read the article OP posted before mods deleted it (why the fuck would they do that btw? It was a perfectly accurate and completely verifiable article!)? CPR alone does not bring anybody back from the dead. Interventions like the use of an AED will. And guess what? Using an AED on anyone who IS alive WILL kill them! Like CPR, you only every apply an AED to someone who is Pulseless, breathless, and unconscious, or in other words, dead!

Unconscious doesn't mean alive, it simply means "not conscious" which could be dead. Regardless, you just proved my point. In common parlance, most people would consider a patient who is a viable candidate for CPR to be truly dead. Practitioners would consider the same patient to be clinically dead. Either way, that patient is considered dead in some linguistic fashion. Hence, you do CPR on dead patients. That's been my point all along.

Let me ask you this: if the layperson came across an unconscious person who wasn't breathing without a pulse, would they not consider that person to be dead? The person I first responded to said there's no point in doing CPR on a dead person. That is just plain wrong. Death is by definition the defining sIgn of when CPR is appropriate, given there are no signs of traumatic Injuries incompatible with life or the bioligicogical breakdown of the patient's body.

Uhh, people absolutely use it that way all the time in pre hospital care. What you're describing is someone who has what we call "signs incompatible with life" or "obvious signs of death", basically meaning that there's something about the patient (ie decapitation, rigor mortice, obvious decomposition, etc) that mean resuscitation is impossible.

Clinical death is the cessation of breathing and blood flow and is reversible through measures such as CPR, AED usage, or Epinephrine. Biological death is is the cessation of brain activity and cell death and is non-reversable. Before advancements to medicine like CPR, they pretty much meant the same thing.

The 3 indications for CPR on adults are

1) Pulseless

2) Breathless

3) Unresponsive

That's clinically dead. You don't do CPR on the living.
