I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.
I believe that is the only place I learned about tourniquets in first aid cert. In that case you can use a shirt and a piece of stick. I’m doubtful of “hours without further damage” though. They definitely have their place but for understandable reasons they’re not recommended for regular first aid.
I can join your smaller niche of ex-boyfriends. In fact I already consider you my ex.
I wonder what “other” is.
User name checks out.
But why? I can type on my phone.
A shoe horn is the ultimate in little things that make your everyday life heaps better.
There’s a great video about why it isn’t widespread in the US on YouTube by Technology Connections.
Last few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn’t taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.
A knife can cut onion, that’s an upside. A knife can cut my finger, that’s a downside. How do we make a knife that can cut onion but not my finger?
Yeah, it must be voyager issue. I downloaded Sync today and everything is as it should be.
Please see my reply to another comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/1968065
The edit is the message that appears when I tap the little downvote arrow on the left that shows how many people downvoted the post/comment. It used to work before.
Today I commented on something and got 12 upvotes. Clearly, people liked my take. I also got 12 downvotes on the same comment and that provided a reality check - my take is agreeable to some, disagreeable to others. Then of course I have to take into account all the users in all instances that don’t allow downvotes. How many people disagree with me that can’t let me know without replying? Do I need to rethink my stance on that particular position or should I just double down on it because 12 people liked it?
I found out that I can upvote using the big arrow on the right and small arrow on the left (with the count). While the downvote arrow disappeared from the right the small one on the right remained. When I tap that it tells me that administrators disabled it.
Edit: “Downvotes have been disabled by server admins.”
That is bizzare!
It matters that if there’s an option to upvote, there should be an option to downvote. Why have only one? What is the point of some instances having just one of them while others have both? I don’t care about points but I like to see how controversial something is when I read comments.
Yes, I’m not sure if I want to stay on it since it can have opinions and I can only have positive ones.
It is always the better option.
Spaghetti aglio e olio. Sounds fancy yet it could not be simpler. Cook spaghetti or linguine or my favourite angel hair pasta. Meanwhile peel and slice garlic. Heat good quality EVOO in a pan and when the pasta is nearly ready toss in the garlic (I also like to add in sliced red chilli). Once garlic starts turning light golden toss in the pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and mix together. Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and some finely chopped parsley, oregano, marjoram or any green herb of choice for a little bit of colour (optional). Nice crusty garlic bread on the side and for a couple of bucks and 20 minutes of your time you’re sure to impress anyone.
