It's okay. People have a LOT of spare ribs if you crack one or two. They'll live. Also, it was a kettle in the lounge room, not an iron.  International Diplomacy. Oh MY. Veloxyll fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Mar 6, 2014 |

Spalec posted:For infants its fingertip chest compressions, young children you can give proper CPR just be sure to not push down too hard. The ratio is meant to be 30 compressions : 2 breaths though. I was originally taught 2 : 30 as well but later on I know they changed it to 2:15 at least here in Sweden, they also no longer teach where you push because people were afraid of doing it wrong, so just push their chest in, precise positioning is unnecessary. Looking it up the recovery position was not put in use in the US until quite recently in 1992 so DeVac not recognizing it is plausible.

Latest one we did of CPR training they said that the breatbing part isn't even critical, because they'll get some lung action from chest compressions. And then you don't have to taste their gross corpse-breath (or risk herpes etc)

From my understanding, the important thing is trying to get their heart beating again, because if that isn't happening then all the other considerations are pointless. Also, on a related note because I'll take any opportunity to spread this knowlege: defibrillators don't restart stopped hearts. And I wish the media would stop showing them doing that.

Saying that CPR is attempting to get their heart beating again is... misguided. If someone has irregular/no heartbeat that has incapacitated them (dysrhythmia or arrhythmia) then basically no amount of chest compressions are going to fix it. Although their heart might not be working, it's just a pump for blood and your compressions take over that function to keep the blood flowing. It's prolonging their life until medical assistance can arrive and work on fixing the root cause of the heart failure. The breathing part isn't considered critical because your blood will have sufficient oxygen in it for a little while at least and if you are going to panic and only be able to remember how to do one thing, the compressions are the important bit. You won't keep anyone alive for long without breathing though. Great LP D-Vac, I'm really loving it. Apologies for derailing with my rather low level medical talk. I'm sure some Doctor-goon will be along to correct us all shortly.

Something like that, yeah. Everything begins with the heart. Off memory what Defibs fix is crazy erratic beating. They've also got sweet portable defibs here. They talk you through CPRing and everything. And use the same pads as the ambos, so they just switch em over when they rock up. Edit: with chest compressions there's also that. Even if they have no heart beat, you can keep the heart going until the guys with the specialist equipment show up to put them back together.

RobotBob posted:Edit: beaten to the punch on the hand positioning ^^^^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxjxfB4zNk Many years ago, we used to teach chest compressions to the tune of Nelly the Elephant. But that was in the good old days when we also said 5:2. It was then changed to 30:2 and now it's 30 compressions, make sure you (the person doing CPR) is okay to carry on and start again without any breaths. People were scared to touch someone in case they did it wrong or caught a disease. Hopefully the BHF's campaign is making Mr. & Mrs. Joe Public realise anyone can save a life and it's a good thing to do. As for the game, I liked the "no, no, no" bit about the electricity. When we teach first aid in the UK, we use an acronym called DR. ABC, that's D for danger, no good you going in all gung-ho and getting hit by the next car while you try to help someone who's just been in a hit & run.

On the subject of dressup, I just discovered that in Everybody's Tennis (aka Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip) you can unlock a Helghast trooper from Killzone series as a playable character, and then proceed to dress him up. Well, as much as you can dress anyone up there. Put him in a dress, or a panda costume, or a white suit, change hair from helmet to pink afro, add a ribbon, or a rose... The only things that stay are the voice, the movements and the mask on the face. Even if you put a clown's nose on it. I wish, I could do the same to enemies in shooters.

There's some quality work on display in that Putin game. The Indian Wedding game didn't seem as much disrespectful as just lazy. It really is as if someone were writing a (European-style) bridal dress-up game and got all their ideas from watching American movies (and, apparently, an episode of The Simpsons).

Sorry I don't have any hilarious dress up screenshots to post, but on the subject of general media and actually healthy entertainment for actual real life girls, I was just browsing through the Hark! a Vagrant archive and came across a link to this amazing pitch to DC for a series of young adult novels starring an eleven year old Lois Lane. I got intensely depressed as I read it because the premise is so drat good and I would've bought the entire series for my nieces in a heartbeat, but of course the comics industry being what it is the whole thing got shot down. Is there anything even out there at all as far as wholesome superhero or superhero related things for girls in that age range? I mean, when I was a kid I liked Batman as much as the next person, but the few female characters that were 'important enough' to have their own comic, you could just look at their costumes and they were pretty obviously aimed at teenage or 20-something guys as much as anything else out there.

Nihilarian posted:I don't know any girl-centric superhero shows, but I think the teen titans cartoon/anime was pretty neutral. Raven and Starfire kicked rear end, and Bumblebee became the leader of a second branch. Yeah, the Teen Titans cartoons are pretty good. In fact most DCAU stuff is decent at gender portrayal. Super Best Friends Forever is very girl friendly. But I genuinely can't think of any actual comic book that's girl centric and that would be appropriate for little girls. Comic books are really bad at feminism.

I'm a regular reader of She-Hulk comics, which tend to be about a superpowered giant green Amazon trying to make a living as a licensed attorney in New York City. For example, in a recent issue, she tried to get a court injunction against all use of repulsor tech by Stark Industries because of a patent dispute filed by her client. She also tends to go out and party, and she's had her share of soured relationships with men, but I don't see much in the way of disempowerment or terrible messages in her comics. I don't know if it would be as appealing to a teenage audience, but as an adult female, I enjoy these comics. The comics have action, but I think they're at their best when they focus on legal issues. There is also an Emma Frost miniseries that focuses on her life as a teenager discovering her powers. It has a lot of relationship and family drama, and less action than a typical Marvel comic. The covers are standard cringe-inducing sexy Marvel fare, but the actual content of the books seems more oriented toward teenage girls than male readers.

Have you checked out the new run of Ms Marvel? Or the Captain Marvel comic? Or the Black Widow comic? Marvel's been surprisingly decent with female-led comics lately - Ms Marvel's about a teenage superhero with zero pandering to the male gaze, for example. I wish that weren't such a big thing to get excited about, but it's slightly better than my excitement at finding out that the Black Widow comic has Natasha with her uniform zipped up all the time. Yay comics for setting a low standard. Now, it'll be interesting to see if these new series go for longer then twelve issues - that seems to be Marvel's limit on letting a series go before sales make or break it - but I'm happy they're trying.

Inspired by D-Vac and Sweet and Awful doing everything they could to neglect a child to death, I decided to look for babysitting games. I found one titled Perpetually Precious 2. I mean, that sounds like it's maybe a dead baby simulator, but it's so much more!  Here is our baby, Baby. He was born with incredibly long thumbs but I'm hoping he'll just grow into them. While thinking about how to finance some grandparents, I hit the big top button, which I later realized was a moon.   What's wrong with his faaaaace? His eyes are way too small for his eye sockets and I think they might fall out. Bastard is devious as heck.  Okay, a bottled appeared on screen so I just handed it to Baby. Then I started talking it away before he had any to drink, which caused a new bottle to appear. I forced Baby to drink from the new bottle instead. Why am I telling you this? Well it glitched out and now Baby has a bottle permanently stuck in his hand.  Oh, also you can customize your rectangle footed baby. I decided my Baby would suffer from Blue Baby Syndrome because I'm terrible.  Gawh! I tried everything and I can't get this baby to do anything else. Perpetually Precious 2 has an update planned to give your baby stats and a crib... but my hopes aren't high considering the creator admitted he only made Perpetually Precious 2 because he couldn't figure out how to update Perpetually Precious 1. Edit: The description to another game by this guy reads "Alex Lovecraft was just an Emo kid in the fictional Petri-Dish Canada. He's made at his dad, his phone was stolen and Kurt Cobain is dead! A year ago he saved the world... This is his mundane post adventure through the world of Chinchirorin!" ThatPazuzu fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Mar 7, 2014 |

To make up for 'ruining' the thread with mechs, may I present Create a Pony Meet Welly, the constantly surprised to exist pony. This 'game' has a gently caress ton of customisation poo poo to keep Bronies and my daughter busy for hours. The DD has just created her dad in this game.

I remember there being some pretty decent Kim Possible DS games, and while she's not a 'superhero' per se, she's about the only character of that type I could think of after that post I made asking about them. I've only seen a few episodes of Teen Titans, but enjoyed them a lot and it sounds like I'll have an excuse to go watch some more now, and I'll definitely check out Ms. Marvel and the other suggestions ASAP. ...also, holy poo poo, I just realized Amazon is selling all the old Carmen Sandiego cartoons for $7.

Not super heroes but comics, I really like Bad Machinery by John Allison. It's about girls who solve mysteries. The Non-Adventures of Wonderella is a great comic about a female super-hero, but not really suitable for children.
