An honest, actual recovery with CPR is less than half of that 3% 'success' rate that gets bandied about. A true, 'this person actually healed up and had a life afterwards' recovery is less than half a percent.

It's freak accidents that happen to young people. Like 45 or younger.

Most people getting CPR are medically fragile already-hence the fucking heart stoppage-and foisting a chestful of broken ribs on top of whatever chronic ailments they already have does nothing but extend their suffering.

Wasn't that long ago, but damned if they ain't making it harder to do. Every cheap plot of land I've looked at has such stringent use restrictions it's basically having an invasive landlord with more steps. Homesteading is dead, at least in places i'd consider it.

Not to romanticize it too much. It sucked so bad my partner's mom responded to a trip idea with "what? Fuck no! We lived in a tent for a year, why the fuck would I want to go camping?"

We still are never allowed to 'just go live in the woods' lol

I have never had one fail. Never even heard of one snapping.

The one on my stepvan doesn't pull quite hard enough on its own, but it works.

And ...it's a cable? Like seven cents a foot?

Shit, my panels were still kicking at 95% when covered in a layer of dirt so thick I had to hose them, and wash em twice.

Now they're back up to 99%, and they're about ten years old

Well sonofabitch.

That explains why my setup starts cranking early in the morning, but is kinda piddly in the afternoon, when, by my eyes, there's even more direct light on them.

Had honestly never heard temp mattered at all
