oh yeah I can remember those two now it’s high Fidelity SIM and you don’t have to fake check in the pulse. The mannequin will actually have a pulse and you can hear breath sounds etc

We actually take it a step further and we’ll actually do on the road in an ambulance live simulations and the rest of the team is actually watching the cam up ambulance in real time and it’s stressful to watch and when you’re in the rig, you know it’s a simulation and it’s still stressful

the other problem and I don’t wanna sound overly critical Is that bad bystander CPR is just that bad CPR.

Our hospital and many others and some EMS systems have moved to RQI. Which basically means quarterly we take scenario test online and then we physically go to an adult pediatric infant mannequins and we actually do rounds of CPR where we’re actually graded by the computer. We basically are refreshing our CPR education and physical check off quarterly. It makes a huge difference. Also many EMS systems and hospitals now have feedback patches where the monitor will actually tell you if you’re compressing too slow or not deep enough or releasing

The computer measures rate depth, making sure you’re releasing at the top of the stroke quality CPR is difficult to perform and exhausting.

We have nurses who thanks to working nights (+18%) and overtime easily clear 300K a year no sweat but are paycheck to paycheck because of the range rover lease, the pricey rent on the downtown SF apartment etc. So yeah I can believe it.

The Trump Economy

So I demoed the back deck and then rented a 2026 Chevy Silverado pickup truck to dispose of the debris as pressure treated lumber is hard to properly dispose of.

I drove a total of 62 miles for 2 trips and used 4.1 gallons of gas and paid $5.79 a gallon and got about 15.5 miles per gallon

Most general contractors I know average about 400-500 miles a week

$5.79 at 15.5mpg x 400 miles is about 25 gallons or 200 a week for fuel alone. That is a tough nut right there and indicative of how trumps Epstein war is impacting everyday people

Some cells can be quad packed with the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile but if its one of the Standard derivatives then its 1 per cell. They also seldom go to sea with a full SAM load out. They also pack in Tomahawks, ASROC et al.

It is highly unlikely they packed each cell with ESSM's and they have layers to the defense

The also have a rolling airframe missile and depending on type a CIWS

The RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile has 21 shots before it needs to be reloaded and that is not done at sea

Assuming a typical load out they can handle about 100 missiles and 21 with the RAM. More can be added and the navy does not talk about the mix, but I doubt this mission was planned

In short answer a Arleigh Burke could defend itself but would run short pretty fast during a saturation attack and be down to its 5" gun forward. Mission kill at the very least with 2-300 drones

So I have been and will remain a proponent of small scale nuclear power.

In light of all the new developments it seems like a legit solution for existing problems like this.

Nuclear power excels at providing base load electricity. It is not "dispatchable" that is can ramp up and down fast with demand. Hence even in places with high renewables like solar and wind you still see fossil fuel based peaker plants. (Aee duck based curve) Hydro electric and pumped storage is dispatchable but droughts can wreak havoc

Small scale nuclear power could be tailored for data centers etc and instead of a centralized massive plants you could have more mobile with just enough power locally. It also saves on infrastructure as you don't need a more powerlines

Put the USN in charge as the legacy of Admiral Rickover is still strong there and they have a good record with nukes

Leads me to a scouting story. Part of the hazing for new people was showing them how a match could burn twice. You lit the match (1) blow it out then touch to exposed flesh of the new person for a quick burn (2)

Childish yes. But we were way tougher kids in that time frame

I had to look that one up as it has been a while and its not something I have ever seen in pediatrics

In looking over the symptoms respiratory arrest seems to have come first based on literature "Of the 20 individuals exposed to the fumes, dyspnea was present in 100%, cough in 93%, pain in the sides, stomach, lungs, throat, loins, and head was present in 87%, dizziness and nausea in 73%, and vomiting in 53%. Relapse of these symptoms occurred in 33% of the cases generally 3 weeks after exposure and persisted an average of 15.5 days. Four individuals died, two on the second day after exposure and two several weeks later after relapse."

Yeah, we do the whole differential diagnosis thing too but then we also had a bit of a divide with the let’s see what happens versus the let’s take him to urgent care. Yes we were frequently in a stalemate so we let the advice nurse break the tie.

Nothing quite like the sarcastic tone of the The pediatric advice nurse when she calls you back and you are on shift in a pediatric intensive care unit and she asks “ wait, you’re an ICU nurse”. lol

The people I encountered were hostile and unfriendly and got the curtain moving to peek at me driving through, stuff I last encountered years ago on a Sunday in Utah polygamy territory.
