Obsolete is do NOT brush after every meal- chew sugarfree gum or an alcohol free mouthwash.
Also pay not attention to the toothpaste ads where it shows about an inch of tooth paste- you need only about a peas worth.
He does it on mild hills. Yes, on long steep hills it can be a good idea.
My wife does this, and I cant stop her.
We’re talking about first and second degree burns here, right? Because I was taught not to put regular cloth bandages on third-degree burns, because they’ll fuse with the burnt flesh. Only special burn bandages should be put on serious burns.
I do brush after every meal, but you should wait 10 minutes so the acidic food doesn’t mess with the enamel during brushing.
With third degree burns, you should probably be calling 911 before you do any first aid.
The real problem is poverty: there are hundreds of millions of people who have absolutely nothing to offer in return for food. And the most well-meaning efforts at charity have run into paradoxical perverse incentives, such as driving the few food producers in famine areas out of business, or empowering warlords who can monopolize the distribution process.
But if the computer is frozen (blue screen of death) you cannot turn it off in software. And if it is a laptop with a 3 hour battery, pulling the plug doesn’t work either (unless you wait 3 hours). I suppose opening the bottom and pulling the battery would work. But holding the power button for 5 or 10 seconds definitely works. And I have never had trouble rebooting after that. By waiting 10 seconds and pushing the power button.
Im trying to make sense of this. The animals were fed on plants, which are water intensive to raise, and the conversion from plant fodder to animal flesh is very lossy.
That’s almost certainly configurable - in Power Options in the Control Panel you can specify what you want the power button to do.
There are places where enough grass grows naturally for cattle or sheep to graze, but if you wanted to grow wheat or corn, you’d have to irrigate.
The findings are incontrovertible. I first learned about it in the 1970’s and since then the research has only become more obvious, refined, accepted, and the problem more and more imperative. It is a simple ratio, particularly for cattle, which have the worst feed conversion ability. For every pound of beef, you need about ten pounds of grain.Do the math.
There are climates where it makes sense to eat mostly animals. Such as the Arctic. Not the climates humans mainly live in.
That wild hippie radical paper, the New York Times, recently published findings that one of the top three changes that would make the most difference in combatting climate change is not eating meat.
Actually there is no difficulty except habit and taste, for most people. It’s inarguably healthier for almost everyone. More than a billion people are vegetarians (about 40% of Indians, for example). Meat is a preferred food in the same way sugar is – our bodies know that it is one of the most condensed ways to get protein, which is biologically expensive to make. But the planet cannot afford it, not any more.
In North America, range land which doesn’t support crops is used for cattle, but they are fattened in feedlots where they eat grain.
I didn’t know that. Interesting. The herding I’m (superficially) familiar with is mostly sheep. I don’t know if they fatten them or not.
This is getting into GD territory. If we’re going to continue this I suggest a split thread.
I left a blind link upthread. From that link

I’m not saying that I buy the conclusions postulated online; I don’t claim expertise in the quoted science, and I don’t plan on avoiding vegetables anytime soon.
But I don’t think it’s a compelling argument to claim that we should strive to eat like our ancestors; we have far more food options than they ever had, and an optimal diet isn’t necessarily the same as what they ate.
There is a strain of thinking which says that we should be eating animals and their byproducts, notwithstanding the fact that it would have been scarce for early humans, because it makes us healthiest.
Now, to be clear, I don’t subscribe to this theory; I try to eat a lot of fiber each day, through things like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and fruits and vegetables.
But the “no veggies” idea is at least science adjacent
This.
If the burned area is very small, you could dispense with the ambulance and be driven to the E.R. in a private vehicle. (But of course the 911 response helps alleviate: doubt about how small, complications like airway burns, panicky family members driving, etc.)
Cooling immediately post-burn is still a good idea, even if there is now doubt about how much and how long to cool.
Cloth fusing with a 3rd degree burn isn’t a concern. That may well have happened at the time of the burn, as artificial fibers tend to melt, rather than burn away. Third-degree burns tend to be dry; they’re dead tissue now.
Avoidance of bandages with the moist, weepy second-degree burn is mostly because it HURTS to have anything touch it. If cloth adheres when the burn and the dressing dry out, the E.R. will simply wet it down again.
Is this current advice? I admit to being a little out of practice. We once stocked special burn dressings, everything from slick, non-stick sterile stuff to gel-impregnated cooling dressings. Then the standard of care turned to using just clean (not necessarily even sterile) dry dressings or sheets
But the pendulum keeps swinging, Have there been studies to bring special burn dressings back into use?
30-year-old advice, actually. I was genuinely curious what the current recommendations are.
As mentioned, I’m out of the mainstream now, and even when I was active in EMS and training other paramedics, it was hard to know what the most current practice was. One study would say one thing, and next week another study disproved it. The most progressive medical directors I knew would be recommending opposite approaches.
But the recommended practice by most burn authorities a few years ago was to use clean, dry dressings. If they adhere, the E.R. (or more likely the Burn Unit) will wet them down again.
When I flew med-evac, the small rural hospitals would wrap severely burned patients in wet sheets, so they were soon miserably cold as well as in pain. We’d arrive, put them in warm blankets and give morphine. Burn patients loved us.
But NONE of the modern recommendations involve butter. 
Though I can still remember my uncle having me put it on a burn in his kitchen.
It always is. ‘Science adjacent’ just happens to be the fertile ground for quacks and fad diet influencers.
