This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

No, unless you over 80
so will the guide be updated? or will you use alternatives? batertokens?
Do Swedes not have ATMs?
They just revert to raiding saxons for cash.
Out of curiosity, where did you get that it has only been issued 5 times? Wikipedia shows 8 editions (including 2024) but doesn't explicitly state if each edition was published more than once
Good thing I'm sitting nice and cozy in the US...
Considering trump wants to stop helping Ukraine and pull out of nato Finland and Sweden are up next for the russian war
Where has he said he wants to stop helping Ukraine? Haven't he been quite vocal about wanting to end the war?
yeah. stopping support helps end it, but in russia's favor
No, stopping US military aid will definitely not stop the war and I'm not aware of Trump even claiming he is going to end military aid. Disinformation until proven otherwise.
I can't believe the old cold war fears of a Russian invasion of Sweden are actually coming true. Thanks, America. Fucking hell.
I’m getting a bit of whiplash here.
The sentiment on Lemmy is usually that we should stop being the world police.
Personally, I think that would make for a worse outcome and I guess we’re gonna find out.
I think they mean american police, and I wholeheartedly agree.
I get the impression that people don’t like the fact our military is as big as it is. And “Why are you over here in $country?”
If Trump actually executes what I believe most conservatives want and we pull back from being the world police, people will quickly realize the value. It just might be too late by that point.
That depends on the country and local experience with the US, which differes a lot. When it comes to Europe, US presence in NATO is crucial for the region's security since WW2.
Besides what is required of us due to NATO (really REALLY hope we don't pull out of that) we dot a lot of other ancillary force projection.
This could be unfounded fears but I worry the US won't be the ones who directly feel the affects if it does happen.
So in a crisis or a war, the guide to stop bleeding is 'apply pressure and call emergency services and wait'? If it's a fucking crisis or war you might not be able to have that luxury buddy. Honestly doesn't feel super helpful from what I'm seeing.
The sad truth is, if the emergency services can't get to you in a crisis, you are likely dead anyway. Life is not a movie, and no pamphlet will teach you EMT level medical knowledge, forget tools and training.
How to apply a simple pressure dressing is part of the basic medical training course, which is mandatory to get a driving licence in Germany.
Anything that such a dressing can't stop does require professional help and will kill you, crisis or not.
This isn’t a dressing, it’s literally saying to push down on the wound and hold yourself there until paramedics arrive.
That's the correct thing to do. If you neglect to do that and try to rush the person on to a car or something without proper pre-hospital care training, the person will just bleed out in the car. Whatever a pressure dressing won't help, won't be stopped without an operating room by a surgeon.
A person with a bleed will survive for much longer staying put with proper pressure over the wound than a person being moved about. Oftentimes, people in panic also forget to call for help. Most first aid preparation is about drilling people to stop panicking and actually call for those who can and know how to help. Crisis, War or not, you are, most likely, not a surgeon or a paramedic, and you don't have a surgery room in your house. There's that a pamphlet can correct in that case.
Look, while you're home reading the book you're not looting.
