The AHA now emphasizes chest compressions and bystanders can do hands only cpr
1) Call 911
2) Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive.” The song is 100 beats per min – the minimum rate you should push on the chest

Now is a good time to recommend everyone get CPR and AED trained. You never know when you could save a life
No context
Mom: "I'm sorry, but I know where your bedroom is and I'm going in."
Well that was anticlimactic.

Conversely, if a computer can never be held accountable, people who want to give computers the power to make management decisions are probably trying to avoid accountability.

Can we agree that touch control instead of knobs is worse UX for often-used functionality?

Since I usually get questions about this, and it seems necessary to remind people that #AmbulatoryWheelchairUsersExist:
"Ambulatory wheelchair user" basically means someone who uses a wheelchair sometimes, but doesn't need it all the time.
In my case, I use it when my fatigue and balance problems get to the point I struggle to walk.

@tinymira I mean, sure, but given that my first laptop ran Vista and that was when I was in third grade, it still makes me feel old to call Vista old and I don't like that. The passage of time is bullying me 
So, over on tumblr, there's a blog called old windows icons. That sounds pretty nifty (and, admittedly, it kinda is) until you notice that, recently, they've been posting icons from Vista.
Vista.
VISTA.
I mean, I've joked before about Windows 7 being a retro operating system, but that just hurts.
So, I'm in the kitchen, about to pull something out of the oven. I hear a soft thump behind me. I turn around.
One of our cats has flopped over on her side behind me.

Rant about lyrics online
Let's get this straight: if the only fucking lyrics available online for non-English speaking songs are English translations of the lyrics, there are no lyrics available online! Translations are NOT lyrics. They are NOT useful. I've been trying to find lyrics to Boris' older discography for months and it's fucking impossible. No one can be fucked to post the original Japanese lyrics to anything they have made fifteen years ago.
Also, it's fucking wild to me how just utterly annoying it is to have lyrics that are basically copy-pasted from site to site with THE SAME MISTAKES, it's driving insane!

harry potter, on cis people not wanting to boycott the fucking wizard game
look if you're gonna rules lawyer your way out of trans people telling you not to buy or play the fucking wizard game, at least also have the decency to say to my face that you care more about the TERF's wizard franchise than you do about trans people, trans rights
Incidentally, can I just say how much I hate that the Veritasium video about him says "accidentally" in the title. Like, no. That bastard went out and claimed he could pour TEL all over himself and sniff it every day without ill effect after both being warned about the whole lead poisoning thing and suffering lead poisoning himself. "Accidentally", my ass. He knew damn well what he was doing.
So, Thomas Midgley Jr., the guy behind both leaded gasoline and CFCs, has been described as having "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny". As a fun fact, after being disabled by polio, he came up with a system of ropes and pulleys to get himself out of bed...that he ended up getting caught in leading to his death by strangulation. "An instinct for the regrettable" indeed.
Here, here's a picture from the textbook, but this is what all the animations looked like. Now that you're seen how they look, imagine how they were animated. Yikes. 
Anyways, if you haven't taken a CPR class, you should. Doesn't have to specifically be AHA, but please learn CPR. Consider this your PSA for the day.
