No, everywhere I've ever worked had a full first aid locker filled up by a truck that comes by every week. I'm in the US though and I assume you're not due to the whole "plasters" thing. But a retarded legal-phobia rule like that sounds like yall are trying to be like us. We did however go through about 6 years of no snow plowing at all in our lot because a lady slipped, fell and sued. Basis of the lawsuit being something like they didn't plow good enough. After that they just left snow and ice because cloud giant put it there or something and you can't sue him. 2. Notify HR, schedule a post-accident drug test and then call an ambulance.

I'm allergic to latex, so we have latex free band-aids in my house. Every place I've ever worked has had them too. As far as I know, that's the most common allergy people could have regarding band-aids.

Given that the replies suggest that it's not a common thing and the fact that it's a very small company, I'm going to assume that I was just told that because the guy I asked (a director) didn't know of any and didn't know why we didn't have any. It's way more likely that it's just an oversight and a duff answer than a calculated and bureaucratic legal dodge. On the subject of first aid, what are opinions of spray-on plasters?

kapalama posted:things worth noting: The first part hasn't been true for the last 30 years or so. The current law is copyright is a given. All creative works in any medium are automatically under copyright by the creator unless the creator specifically waives that right - putting it into public domain, releasing it under some sort of license, doing it under a work-for-hire contract, anything of those natures, but it has to be an explicit waiver. Filing for copyright these days is essentially purely to prove you were the original creator. The second part's never been true, copyright does not need to be protected to be enforced. Trademark does, but a copyright holder can choose not to enforce their copyright for decades before turning around and doing so, and it won't affect the legal validity of their claim in the slightest.

My work hides the band-aids within health and safety dept., so you can't get them without obviously reporting your injury to them. Health and Safety rules at my work state that all injuries MUST be reported. We just bought our own out of petty cash.

As far as I know, that's the most common allergy people could have regarding band-aids. After that there is a decent number of people allergic to adhesive, or certain types of adhesives and since they don't list the derivatives of adhesives on the box some people wont use them. Although most latex and adhesive allergies are just rash allergies and not systemic anaphylaxis. And si really nothing more than an inconvenience.

My dad is really into sci-fi shows with multiple dimensions and I heard about a show called Charlie Jade that seems to fit the bill. But it doesnt seem to have ever been released in the US, so I'm wondering what is the best legal way to get a DVD or legal digital version of this show to my dad here in the USA given that it's not availible through netflix and there are regional blocks. :[

Ridonkulous posted:I think you mean Round No. WillieWestwood posted:A medley. It can have two or more songs playing concurrently to the same beat. The La Resistance Medley in SP:BLU is an excellent example of that. But a medley has nothing to do with two singers singing at the same time on independent themes, which happens pretty often in music. I'm not familiar enough with The Producers to know whether or not the clip posted contains melodies previously highlighted in the musical, but a medley is really a stringing together of multiple themes/melodies that already existed. Those melodies can run concurrently or progressively, but just because there's two motives going on at the same doesn't make it a medley.

change my name posted:Why are you allowed to drink openly in a traincar but not outside of one? Is it not considered a wholly public place? If you're talking about something like Amtrak, then no, it's not a wholly public place. It's a privately owned entity. They may even have ABC-on permits for the entire train fleet. The Amtrak stations are trickier, though. In some you can drink anywhere in the station while in others you can only drink in the restaurants that sell liquor.

I had it once. It might have been bad monkfish, I don't know, but it was mushy as hell and had no real taste. Not recommended, especially not for how expensive it seems to be (at least where I am, might be cheaper elsewhere).

NESguerilla posted:What does Monk fish taste like and what kind of restaurant would serve it? I've had them in American diners before, it's sometimes called Goosefish here in New England. I've seen it on the menu in a Thai place -but that was also in NE; the preparation sounded like it was the same way they did their haddock, pan-seared with a bunch of herbs and sauce. It really doesn't taste like much, other than what you put on it. Some people think it tastes like lobster, but I think that's just because they ate it like lobster – plainly cooked and served with drawn butter. I had a friend that fished for them and he claimed that they went to Northern Europe and Japan where they were turned into imitation crab meat.

Could anyone recommend a good data structures textbook that goes over basic things like stacks, queues, linked lists, etc? I'm not incredibly well-versed in the topic (currently in a data structures class, and not doing well, but understand what is being taught) so I'm looking for something that is easy to understand and maybe has some examples of implementation. A friend recommended this to me as well as one of the O'Reily cookbooks that I have bookmarked somewhere. I saw a bunch of other highly rated books on amazon but are there any must-haves out there?

Not recommended, especially not for how expensive it seems to be (at least where I am, might be cheaper elsewhere). Gelatinous is one of those taste dimensions that is sought after in Chinese cooking. Examples: wood ear, jellyfish, egg flan, thousand year old egg, pig ear, tripe, etc. That monkfish is gelatinous or mushy isn't necessarily bad preparation. It should pick up flavor from the sauce, though.
