10 Useless or Even Dangerous First Aid Myths

I knew pretty much all of those. Particularly the bit about snake bites. Cutting sucking and spitting is just a bad idea all around for all the reasons they mention, and a tourniquet is basically telling the ER doctors to amputate here.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Neener, neener, sj.

Anyway, I just thought it was interesting about the rice that Frank said they were all responsible but only he stepped up and took the heat for it. Group projects are so interesting because of that dynamic. Unless you get things like Betty taking the drink entirely, it's tough to know who did what and people slide sometimes.

But it's funny, because if they're throwing each other under the bus this early in the process, it should be a freaking bloodbath later on.

sarameg, give me my sleep back please.

I'm trying. It's getting ridiculous.

Because books.

Top Chef: Marisa better go home soon. She's got self-righteous drama queen written all over her.

Frank's reaction was interesting -- he *was* the only one to both step up for his own mistake, and defend the team as a whole. Looks like he could be a real loose cannon temperamentally, though.

I can't believe I forgot to read Chef Tom's blog.

Art Crawl!!!

Oh, I think that Otto should have stopped and asked to see the receipt - and Marissa and Elia should have done the same, given that they both heard him. How difficult is it to stop for 5 seconds, read a receipt and make that decision?

And they definitely should have been able to make decent rice. How big a rice cooker do you need to make rice for 1000 people?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's an awesome headline. Not quite as cool as "Headless Corpse Found in Topless Bar," but still....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was just emailed the following request:

We have met today to discuss configuration and access to QA for Person B and Person C ( as a reminder they are not developers ) and PROD environment for Person B and myself( Person A). Person B is suppose to provide support for QA and production. Person C is a backup person in QA and I am a backup person in PROD. ...

The person writing this is a manager.

Maybe not, but I think they set their phasers to "overkill" with their use of 'fingered' in the text of the article. ijs.

And here George W. Bush has been surviving for years quite nicely with an extraneous asshole. Granted, it's perched on his shoulders and it's spouting enough shit that it doesn't seem to get plugged up.

I feel sorry for the dead, four legged chicken.
