If her heart stopped there's not much an AED will do. They're only useful for arythmias.

I cracked a joke a year ago about how Carrie Fisher's face was the only use of a rubber mask they had in Force Awakens everything else was digital but it was a joke I wanted to polish over the months before her next on screen appearance. Its gonna be CGI next time.


E also she did a lot of cocaine which will put a strain on your ticker.

If by "stopped" you mean "no activity" then yes, there isn't anything any defibrillator can do (unless you're on TV and habitually shocking a flatline back into activity). Most of the time the heart isn't flatlined though, its just fibrillating too much to pump any blood (which could also be construed as "stopped" because it isn't doing anything productive) because all the cells are contracting independently. If you do have a flatline, that's what the big Pulp Fiction syringe full of epinephrine is for.*

This actually happened to my mother on a flight back from somewhere in the Caribbean. Some family didn't want their elderly grandmother, who was on her last legs, to die in a foreign country so they got her on the plane with the hopes she would survive the ~hour flight back to the states. This didn't go according to plan and when the old woman dropped dead, my mother ended up giving her CPR until the plane reached its destination (they were about at the halfway point when it happened). A bunch of passengers were complaining that the AED didn't work because it didn't want to shock a heart with no electrical activity. Oh, and while everyone was sitting around missing their connecting flights while they got statements from people, my mother finds out that one of the other passengers was a doctor in intensive care and didn't volunteer to help my mother who is a nurse that delivers babies.

*I'm over-explaining for the benefit of the kids in the back of the room, not because I don't think you know any of this.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Instead of goons continuing to speculate about someone's health, here's a meme I stole from the Cold War/Airpower thread.

Did no one send out the memo? Christmas hasn't been a Christian holiday for years now! Plenty of non-Christians enjoy it.

It's a capitalist holliday though. Not sure non-capitalists can understand the true meaning of christmas.

Too much food, too much alcohol, and too much family you don't like seeing the other 364 days of the year?


Is this a video about Father Christmas?

The other day I was at the grocery store and this dangerhair Tumblrina looking girl at the register (Short cut hair, shaved sides, dyed multicolored, about 300lbs) said "Happy Holidays" to me so I gave her a big smile and said "And Merry Christmas to you!" and she literally said "UGH" out loud.
