Everyone should at least know basic first aid so that people can receive immediate help until people with advanced training are on scene

The most important thing I know is to back off if poo poo is above your level. Which is basically anything above a slight wound.

E:^^^^^^^ that's not even remotely true, though Namtab posted:Everyone should at least know basic first aid so that people can receive immediate help until people with advanced training are on scene Also everyone needs to have the recovery position so deeply instilled in them that even when you're blackout drunk you'll go round and make sure your passed-out mates are all tucked up and not gonna choke on their own sick

Guavanaut posted:You can have 'food as a service' (like the food service industry) in a way so to help the community and to make it easier to grab a bite to eat at work without saying that everything is reduced to optimal nutrient slurries provided by the British Kitchens for British People and also nobody's allowed to cook at home, and you could even do it in a way that gives less profits for food giants and more time for service industry workers to cook for themselves at home. The main problem, really, is there's not much profit margin to mine out. People are intensely price-sensitive on their lunches as is, it's a visible expense with lots of choice

Work canteens can be good if the employer cares about employee happiness, but I've had some pretty horrid ones as well, including the one I currently have - they might do calorie-counted meals which is nice, but the taste is worse than school canteens 20 years ago (christ I'm getting old) And work canteens used to be absolutely awful in the USSR from what my eastern european relatives tell me. But then the USSR never did care much about people being comfortable, there was almost a masochistic spartan streak to it. I don't think e.g. Russels "In praise of idleness" would exactly be accepted, more likely to get you into prison for shirking work and counterrevolutionary ideas than anything.

I think it means they landed on an asteroid, which hasn't been done before, although we have landed on a comet before. Or it means that the asteroid is rotating or otherwise being erratic, but phrased very badly. e: ^ yeah that

I think if it's orbiting something it's considered stationary if it's not moving out of that orbit and orbits at the same rate as everything else at that distance from the object/planet, I believe

"we'll find synergies through vertical integration" is the least credible m&a claim ever adding in national self-sufficiency as a key performance indicator immediately tosses out the ability of related vendors to ease vertical mismatches through integration with the European market, too; I do not think a gain in efficiency is a credible claim ronya fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Sep 23, 2018 |

As a Catholic and life long member of the Labour Party I must now declare my disgust at the IRA member Jeremy Corbyn for cultivating an anti-Papist movement, and thus I must turn and vote for the Conservative Party, as I have done so in every election I've ever voted in.

I have been paid some surprise money, so surprising that I was on the verge of ringing my bank and panicking at them that there had been a terrible error, until I tracked the transaction back and it really is my money  Part of me wants to use it to pay off a significant chunk of debt. All of me wants to blow it on a decent leather jacket and Botox. My dreams are disappointingly modest and middle-aged.
