Lyrics give music meaning. Music gives lyrics emotion.

I need both.

I think that's the rationale behind putting it in the cheek (i.e. between the teeth and the lips), and of using a gel instead of a less viscous liquid like a juice: to minimize the risk of aspirating it.

At least one first aid instructor I've had has suggested running the gel into the flesh of the lips and gums, which should reduce that risk even further, but I don't think that was ever a formal part of the training.

>Is that still taught?

Unless things have changed in the past year or so, since I last took a course.

>Call 911 or a trusted family member/spouse of the effected person.

Yes, if someone is in obvious enough distress that you're concerned about either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, you're going to want to get help to them. I should have mentioned that.

>Typically a glucometer is gonna be right next to the insulin or in a diabetics medical supplies.

Sure, but as a first aider, you're not typically trained to use it. I mean, it's not rocket science, but (IANAL, just someone who has taken a lot of first aid courses) Good Samaritan laws only tend to protect you within the scope of your training, and for anything you do outside of that training (like taking even a tiny blood sample), you can be held liable for if things go wrong.

Of course, if the 911 operator instructs you to, that's fine (at that point, you're acting under their authority, rather than your own as a first aider), but it's not something I'd recommend taking initiative on.

>If they are unconscious, don't try to put food or water in their mouth.

I was taught this is the only exception to that rule; a small amount of sugary gel (e.g. honey or icing), deposited in the cheek.

Your brain needs sugar to function.

An overdose of insulin drops your blood sugar enough that you lose consciousness.

That's why first aiders are taught to never give a diabetic insulin, but rather to give them sugar: low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can kill you quickly, but the negative effects of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) only take effect over the long term.

So if their sugar is high and you guess wrong and give them more sugar, it's bad but probably not significantly so. But if their sugar is already low and you give them insulin, it's very likely you'll kill them.

Oh, sure, but I don't think OP's "you" is referring to you, specifically, but rather people in general. Like the "you" in "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."

So you "you" might not be at significant risk of dying from a breath of fresh air, but it's totally as thing that a indefinite "you" could totally die from.

If you have the right immune conditions, there are enough germs in fresh air to kill you.

And there are quite a few allergens in fresh air, as well.

I can see this one either way.

I don't think people should be made fun of if they need to read aloud; it's the only way that poetry has any effect on me.

That said, while I agree that people have the right to read anywhere, and the right to read aloud, they don't necessarily have the right to read aloud anywhere.

Hell, I don't even know what that means.

It probably has something to do with the way that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans.

Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble...

WOOO!

"You can't always trust a quote on the Internet because it has a picture next to it' - Abraham Lincoln

What's the difference between "will" and "motivation" in this context?

His pants are worthy.

... If you learn from them.

Monopoly. Not even once.

Given that it's supposed to simulate capitalism, that's just realism.

That reminds me of Tim Minchin's song Prejudice.

It's nice to see a replacement player who is up on the rules.

That's a waste of energy.

Me, I'm going to pack around it with some insulation so that it isn't exposed to the cold air of the house.

That's an easy enough problem to fix: just turn around and vote them "Most likely to Fail."

Live off the dole and do what, though?

The horrible part about what I read isn't "people not working," it's "spending the time that that freed up staring at a screen all day."

If I couldn't work, I'd like to think that I'd write, or sing, or dance, or kayak, or hike, or...

And hopefully along the way, I'd find someone to do all these fun things with.

But as someone who has spent several years struggling with depression, I'm aware of the risk that I'd spend that time doing, well, nothing. Arguing with people on the internet. Watching videos criticizing movies I don't ever intend to see. Doomscrolling through page after page of bad news. Because that's what a lot of my free time during Covid was spent doing.

If that's what "hang around" consists of, I think I'd rather work. It may not be pleasant and it may not be fulfilling, but at least it' something to do.

It reminds me of a stand-up comedian, I can't remember the name. "I asked the cop, 'Do you burn the weed you confiscate?' 'Yep,' he said. 'A little at a time.'"

>I've trained for months just to chase you

Months? It's been four weeks, unless it took longer than a week to buy a flashlight.

>He corners the man in a chamber, in which he can see 6 lemons

He only stole five; where did the sixth lemon come from?

This is reminiscent of the games by Eyezmaze.
