  • I took a CPR class about a month ago in the US, and artificial ventilation is still strongly recommended. Otherwise, oxygen levels slowly drop off, making chest compressions less effective over time.

    Chest compressions only are better than doing nothing, and most CPR trained people probably don’t have a mouth cover for sanitary ventilation unless a medical kit is nearby (most places in public have one).

    Doing ventilation correctly takes some practice, which is why inexperienced people are told to do chest compressions only during emergencies. But if you take a dedicated CPR course, they still teach and recommend ventilation.





  • This article essentually summarizes a report from China but doesn’t give the report’s title, authors, or web link. This whole article is hearsay without providing the source material.

    Also, why does it read like it was written by a middle schooler with zero technical understanding? You’d expect better quality from a website named “Interesting Engineering.”

    “They send out photons whose quantum properties changes once they hit the stealth aircraft. This means that even the false signals generated by the aircraft would not be able to match the properties of the photons emitted by quantum radars.”

    Like, what does that even mean? I would check the source material, but I can’t because we’re not told what it is.

    Is all journalism this bad these days?
