  • Yes, it’s horrible the gun situation in the US.

    But knowing how to stop someone bleeding to death can be useful in other dystopian situations as well. Like industrial accidents from bad management and OSHA/child-labor violations. Or non-gun injuries from abusive adults.

    Or just stupid stuff that kids and/or adults do to maim themselves, like avocado knife injuries.

    Don’t knock the first aid training.

    Do go after the guns.






  • I had something similar happen to me years ago in a Toyota minivan. The car stalled and died in traffic, some kind of electrical glitch. I got out to raise the hood. The door closed behind me and it came up with just enough battery to lock itself, with my keys in the ignition and my two babies and quadriplegic husband inside. It was 107° outside. And pre-cellphones. I bolted to the nearby gas station to call 911 and grab something to break a window. Meanwhile hubby tried to coach toddler how to wriggle out of car seat and open door, but straps were too snug. Firehouse was near, and the jammed traffic was all in one direction so they used the opposite side and didn’t take long, and they jimmied the door open quickly. But it was boiling in there. Sat the kids by the road to cool off with water and get checked by paramedics, gave water to husband in car with open doors, and waited for a tow to the gas station so I could lower the ramp and get my husband out. Meanwhile of course we made the traffic even worse, but people weren’t too mad when they saw our plight as they squeezed past.

    I’m wondering, did some similar glitch happen here, or do Tesla doors lock every time they shut?

    And all the starving and maimed and killed children in Gaza are/were of course Hamas, right?

    Honestly, Netanyahu is building the future of Hamas, because any who survive this slaughter will never forget it. Even the families of the hostages have called for a ceasefire, but Israel would rather kill the Israeli hostages than free them.
