+40, nordic farming lineage, living in rural Denmark. I started caring about the weather in my early 30s. Temp, wind speed/direction and rain/snow/fog is something that we have a pretty good idea about for the next week.

3·11 months agoTraveling with school to Poland and Czechia in the late 90s we were told to always bring our own TP if using public restrooms. Not because of the quality, as much as because of the non-existence, of TP.
30 teens were rolling into Poland each with at least one roll of TP in the luggage. No one had to use it.
Hopefully you all shat in a bucket for week before dumping the contents through the responsible managers sunroof?
Exactly, as a CNA you have different guidelines, and resources. I used to work as a temp CNA (a job med students can train for in my country), and naturally we were expected to not just do the layman’s CPR.
But the courses I teach are designed for non-medical persons, and they, more than anything, need to not freeze up in the moment. So they are taught to do it one way, and one way only. Is it optimal in every case? Of course not, but in most cases there’s a net positive effect.
There’s so many things, where your country has decided to go “you guys are doing x? We’re doing x^-1 because fuck you, that’s why!”
One of the most baffling things is your driver’s ed. I spent the equivalent of 2.8K USD to get a license, I had to attend
- a medical exam
- an 8hrs first aid course,
- 29hrs of theoretical driving ed (laws, signage etc),
- 4hrs on a closed circuit to learn how to start and park,
- 16hrs of practical driving, and
- 4hrs on a closed circuit with slippery conditions
before being allowed to even attempt a multiple choice exam (which 28% fail on the first try) and then a practical exam.
All the while you can get a license at 16yo, and it’s wham bam thank you mam easy to get. While a Danish teen can’t drive alone before they’re 18 and have spent all that time and money… Smh and don’t get me started on guns, that’s even more different.
Depends on who you are listening to. I just checked with the mandated lesson plan (“Basal førstehjælp til børn”, or “Basic first aid for children”, published by the Danish First Aid Council (DFAC), December 2021). I have to adhere to this plan when teaching that course. Among other things, the main differences are:
- 5 blows (page 6) then 30:2 at 100-120 BPM (page 7).
- If you’re alone, then you do 1 min of CPR before calling emergency services (page 7).
It’s the current lesson plan, and the council tends to follow the European Resuscitation Council’s guidelines… Most of the time. While I haven’t read up on the ERC’s guidelines for some time now, I also know that the DFAC may take other aspects into consideration when creating their lesson plans.
Am quite surprised other countries don’t have this
Careful dealing in absolutes there, a Danish driver’s license requires an 8hr first aid course.
Depends on the material, I have to teach 30:2 so that people don’t freeze. There’s a special course for people who are responsible for children, they learn a different algorithm, but I haven’t taught that course, so I’d have to read up on it. I believe that it’s still 30:2, but with 5 blows initially.
So I guess, just do 30:2 and don’t worry about the age part.
The person is dead if you don’t do something. You cannot fuck their day up any worse than it already is.
Don’t think about it, just act!
- Make sure that you are safe. If no one else is taking charge, you are in charge!
- Get emergency services on the phone.
- Clear the airways.
- Get going with 30:2 at 100-120 BPM.
- Get some help from the people around you.
- Send someone for an AED.
- Send someone to meet the ambulance.
You can think about it later.
I fucking hate the baby dummies. Luckily I don’t have to use them when teaching, as I’ve never taught a course for people with a special responsibility for children. But I still shutter when I encounter one in the dummy depot.
Adults? Sure, we’re all going to die some day. Kids and toddlers? Nope, no thank you, no way.
I have, thankfully, never done CPR live, but I’m certified to teach CPR by the Danish First Aid Council. So I have a interest in learning from actual practitioners, although I’m obviously not allowed to alter the course.
Where do you stand on ventilation? Currently I have to teach 30:2 mouth to mouth, but I know that there’s talk about skipping ventilation either entirely or at least for adults. The thinking being that children don’t suffer spontaneous cardiac arrests, but that it’s usually a result of blocked airways.
Do you do ventilation and does it make a difference in your experience?
Sometimes I actually do prefer to just SSH in to a tmux session.
Gnome = KDE = bloat
I don’t care about a modern feel, I need to not care about learning new interfaces. Xfce is fine for me.

Here’s for something that actually fits: Thorkild (silent d, and th can be a t) meaning the arrow of Thor.
I don’t think that it would be a good idea, but how about “The Doctor”?
I see, I seem to have missed submitting mine then.
Pickled herring is Danish, spekoek is Indonesian and Gouda is bland.
Hagelslag though, that is something I definitely miss.
Maybe the herring is Scandinavian, but we’re not going to credit the swedes with this one, they lost that right when they started with the lingonberries.
I’m very close to just editing that comment
You should see the other guy
