Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I’d call myself MrMysterious I’d know deep inside that I’m a wanker.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
1·3 years agoI believe that is the only place I learned about tourniquets in first aid cert. In that case you can use a shirt and a piece of stick. I’m doubtful of “hours without further damage” though. They definitely have their place but for understandable reasons they’re not recommended for regular first aid.

10·3 years agoLast few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn’t taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?English
2·3 years agoI thought that asbestos was outlawed. Though I do remember learning about its anti - fire uses in school. Yes, I am kinda old.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
1·3 years agoThat is my train of thought too. I see an opportunity there, but I’m worried I’m kinda late to the game with dropshipping, but given the low start up cost I think it’s worth a try.
I do know a guy that sells high end motorbike gear (that he buys and stores in some limited capacity), but operates entirely online and makes a good living.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
1·3 years agoIdeally online. After working in and around customer service for a good part of 30 years I’m really not keen on dealing with people.
I thought about customer service consulancy/advisory/training, which I’m really good at, but it involves people…

1·3 years agoI had a flotation center. Have you heard of sensory deprivation tanks? Obviously I won’t be doing anything highly technical, but most things are not rocket surgery and can be learned. I have an extensive background in customer service, management, hospitality, logistics. I’m really good at making small goods and baking. My issue is that I’m sick of customers.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadaysEnglish
11·3 years agoI’m finding that those searches will be advertisement for a vet clinic, hotels in Sparks, Nevada and they will all have a blog about this and that in vague terms advising you to spend money on the issue. Years ago I was building a water garden and found tons of useful info, a couple of years ago I decided to make a big pond and all those sites with the useful info are either gone or buried on page 73. What’s at the front is retailers of pond/garden/aquatic equipment with the same drivel about your cat throwing up.

24·3 years agoI ran a business, built my website and done SEO according to advice found on the internet practically just using keywords related to my business. My goal was not to be on page 2 or 3 when people look for similar businesses. The site ended up always as a first result. I did not tinker with it, never paid for adwords/adsense. I don’t think I was being an asshole, just trying to make a living.
The problem seems to lie with Google. I remember days when I could search it for topics of interest and get results that were informative and didn’t try to sell me shit. Google is now reminiscent more of a mall and search results are shop fronts in the mall.

I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.
