     @lanodan @CentaurBreeder A defibrillator is for an arrhythmia, not cardiac arrest. If you use a defibrillator on someone experiencing cardiac arrest (i.e. the heart completely stops beating aka flatline) you'll do far more harm than good. If they're in cardiac arrest you need to do CPR. If you don't know CPR then just do chest commissions. Don't worry about hurting the person. Do chest compressions. I'm sure they'd much rather be alive with a few broken ribs than dead.
     
     DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS AND DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT DEFIBRILLATOR IF YOU DON'T FEEL A PULSE!
     .
     Although, most most emergency defibrillators you'll find in places like malls/airports/stores/etc. are smart enough to read the person's heart signals and won't fire unless there's an arrhythmia (imagine if you were having a seizure and someone tried to put an emergency defibrillator on you). It won't fire if it doesn't detect an arrhythmia. So if you've already checked their pulse and found that there isn't one, the time you spend setting up the defibrillator could have been spent doing chest compressions to pump oxygen to their brain to keep them from going brain-dead.
     
     Instead, of you see someone doesn't have a pulse, start doing chest compressions, yell for someone to call 911, keep yelling until sometime does (it's common for emergency situations to go unreported for 30+ minutes because everyone assumes someone else has already called emergency services).
     
     If you're alone, try your best to do chest compressions for a few strokes while you take out your phone, dial 911, and put it on speakerphone.
     
     This is literally first aid advice that can save someone's life.
     
     Above all else, stay calm. Panicking will not help the situation.
     
     This is also coming from someone who experienced an emergency situation firsthand. Despite over a dozen people witnessing the shooting, I was the only one to call emergency services. Additionally, as soon as it was safe, I ran out, and applied first aid to the victim.
     
     My biggest regret is that in both reporting it and applying first aid I hesitated for a few seconds because I was being a little bitch boy and not wanting to step up to the plate. Yeah, never again. Next time I'm going to be the first to leap into action.
     
     It's kind of funny. I've been told I'd make a great leader because I'm really good at managing, especially under stress. However, I really don't want to. It's more of a, "if it really needs to be done and nobody else is stepping up to the plate, I'll do it" but for everyday shit I'd really rather not. I mean, I guess I would make a good leader/manager but I'd really rather not unless I absolutely have to. :shrug:
     
     However, if push comes to shove, I'd like to think I make a pretty decent leader. At least I can get the job done. Also, my knowledge of first aid is a lot better than most people's. :cirno_shrug:
     
     Also, in a hospital, if someone flatlines, the heart monitor doesn't emit a steady tonne. Instead, it plays a little jingle. Almost like a 90s ringtone.

     What in the name of fuck, I even had first-aid classes… granted those were a long time ago now so I might be misremembering and main point is to just phone rescue services to guide you.

     @CentaurBreeder @lanodan meh, it's fine. I just thought they'd put more effort into it given the nature of the series. Similar to The Simpsons or Futurama. But it really seems the writers just told an intern, "we need random computer code." and that's what they came up with.
     
     The worst part is that in the lines before it said it was connecting to a MicrosoftSQL server but they couldn't even do gibberish SQL output, they did random HTML from archive.org.
     
     Hell, especially with the dialogue, they could have done actual SQL output with Easter eggs and it would have still fit perfectly with the dialogue and story but for those who could read and understand SQL output it could have been so much more but alas, like everything in movies and TV, "hacking" consists of utter nonsense. Similar to how they can always cure cardiac arrest with a defibrillator (in case you didn't know, that's not what a defibrillator does).
     
     I think mainly I was disappointed because the show has a reputation for dotting all it's I's and crossing all it's T's and hiding clues for people willing to go frame by frame and analyse but in one of the best places to do so the writers just said, "computers are magic and nobody will think anything of this" and essentially gave us something like this:
     GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address CSI.mp4.mp4

     > I only have like 2 episodes left. I'm gonna watch the rest this evening.
     
     hell yeah bro! let me know how you like it!
     
     >However, my style of watching is why I'm so intimidated by things like Game of Thrones because that's such a big commitment.
     
     I've seen 4 episodes of Games of thrones, good shit I love fantasy so im a sucker for the show. but I understand not being ready to commit to watching 7 seasons of a show.
     
     >I will confess I have been watching seasons 2-4 of stranger things at 1.21x speed just because some parts are so slowly paced and the dialogue is so slow. After pitch shifting it doesn't even sound sped up, it just sounds like they're getting to the point.
     
     I dont blame you. I often skip dialogue in shows if they go on too long.
     
     >It was really jarring and immersion breaking. I even paused the episode for like 3 hours and spent time finding the exact page/timestamp they used to look for any kind of Easter egg but it seems they just used a random page of a defunct company so there'd be no chance of a lawsuit. Really disappointing. If it wasn't for that rabbit hole that lead nowhere I would have already finished the series by now.Show less
     
     you poor soul, sorry that it was nothing.

     @lanodan is a scrub when it comes to bringing a series. I seriously thought he'd be better at this...
     
     However, my style of watching is why I'm so intimidated by things like Game of Thrones because that's such a big commitment.
     
     I will confess I have been watching seasons 2-4 of stranger things at 1.21x speed just because some parts are so slowly paced and the dialogue is so slow. After pitch shifting it doesn't even sound sped up, it just sounds like they're getting to the point.
     
     I also have some screenshots of something I instantly recognised in season 4 that I've been meaning to post. Not so much as a fun Easter egg as it was "we need computer code so we'll just use the HTML of a site from archive.org." it even includes the banner injected by archive.org. It was really jarring and immersion breaking. I even paused the episode for like 3 hours and spent time finding the exact page/timestamp they used to look for any kind of Easter egg but it seems they just used a random page of a defunct company so there'd be no chance of a lawsuit. Really disappointing. If it wasn't for that rabbit hole that lead nowhere I would have already finished the series by now.

     Alright, done. Literally first time I've called in since January when I had covid so it's really not a big deal.
