  • No it's not. It only becomes a criteria when you can no longer reasonably be sure that it can't be restarted.

    Source: Retired medic that has pronounced my share of dead people AND restarted a few hearts also.

  • As an old and retired medic, the lack of respiration and pulse doesn't mean you are dead-dead. On the scale of "Not Dead to Dead-Dead, a lack of respiration's and pulse means you are at the maybe dead on the line. And other factors will make the final determination about if you are actually dead or not.

    The first determining factor in figuring out where the patient is on the scale, is if you make it into my amp-a-lamps or not. If you do, you are alive at least for a little while longer and I'mma let the doctor sort it all out for you. If you don't make it in the back of my bus, then you are dead-dead and nothing can change that-- not even god himself.

  • As an old and now retired medic. My personal definition of dead was if you made into the back of my amp-a-lamps or not. If you did you weren't dead-- you were merely having a bit of a bad day. I might have needed to do your breathing for you and I might have needed to make your heart pump blood. But until some doctor somewhere decided you weren't worth his time and effort, you were still alive. Because I don't haul dead people.

    So, by my definition as a trained and professional medical person, you where never dead-dead. Just someone have a bad day among many others having a bad day at that time.

  • It's a good thing that the lack of a heartbeat isn't the ultimate definition of dead. But it can be one of the markers of dead.

  • This is truer than you know. Well, the killing a polar bear part.

    When Eskimos really got modern metallic cartridge firearms post WW2, they for some reason decided that the .223 Remington cartridge, (precursor of the 5.56 NATO round), was the best thing ever to hunt with. And you can be positive more than one polar bear got itself killed by the mommy of the the 5.56 NATO. And a bolt action rifle in .223 remains popular with them to this day.

  • Close enough that we probably helped bred them out of existence. Neanderthal genetic markers show up with some regularity in certain modern human populations.

    Edit to add: While humans didn't breed them out of existence, we certainly did intermix with them. And that does help to maintain their existence yet today.

  • In that kind of cold, body mass matters for keeping warm. You need to be bigger to survive and they aren't really over powered for their environment.

  • Do you want to pay for the heating and cooling of a bunch of those tanks out of your pocket? Or even the cost of upkeep to keep the tanks clean?

  • Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.

    That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.

  • List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs

    Jump

  • If you are looking for FOSS CAD, then FreeCAD 1.0 is about the only game in town. SolveSpace is fine for fairly simple uses but lacks all the advanced toys one might like. Nor has it been updated in 3 years now. Siemans SolidEdge has a free community edition, but it's Widows only. OnShape is is a popular alternative to Fusion, and is fully cloud based, but it is restricted like Fusion.

    As an acolyte that wears the sackcloth and ashes of FreeCAD, there is a growing community of tutorials, (I highly recommend MangoJelly on youtube) for beginners to learn with. But the learning curve can be steep as you get past the basics. There is a FreeCAD community here, but it's small and not very active. Sadly the best place for answers remains on reddit.

  • Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

    Jump

  • One has to wonder if Recall just isn't as profitable as they had hoped.

  • Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?

  • You have missed the point entirely. It's not that complex problems can be solved by "one simple trick that conservatives hate." It's that the complexity of the problem often prevents the left from even taking the first step to any solution.

    Solving complex problems often requires multiple steps towards to mitigation. But, one needs to take that first step. And there needs to be dirt under those fingernails at the end of the day as a reminder of the work actually done.

  • Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

    In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

    Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won't be no google or youtube, but there won't be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

  • And the left is often paralyzed by the "complexity" of a solution and offers little no refuge for those in need. Sadly making those half baked ignorant simple solutions the only thing offered.

  • Yeah, Orca has issues with Fedora. The appImages often fail in particular. But I do have it running on Fedora Cinnamon 42 and Aurora 42, (spin off of Kinninite 42) with the flatpack from the GitHub.
