Envelopes of Cash is a properly good game, with the theme of bribing high school recruits to join your college football team.

Nusfjord Big Box has 2 new and 2 old expansion decks.
I want 3 of them because I have the Salmon deck and miss the Plaice Deck
Not only are the expansion packs separately more expensive than the big box… they are mostly unavailable.
I will therefore buy nothing until something really really cheap turns up. And if not. I still have 3 additional decks in Oranienburger Kanal already included that I can use to soothe my grieving over Nusfjord belonging to Asmodee.
But I am mightily annoyed.
(yes I could cover myelf in Uwe Rosenberg games that are already on my shelves. There is nothing I should be complaining about. I don’t have enough time to play all the various games and their expansion decks. I just want them.)

the key takeaway was “run away, let the professionals deal with it.” in every fire safety class I have had to take.

Ditto first aid outside a very limited range of situations. Less running, to be fair.

That’s interesting. My first aid training is CPR and wilderness advanced first aid (both wildly out of date these days. Should probably do a cpr refresher…), and were both taught with the expectation that you’d use them. CPR because it only is really useful as immediate reaction, wafa because, well, wilderness.

CPR is absolutely meant to be used. Even if it seems pointless, I’ve been taught you should do it until the professionals arrive.
One of the most useful things I learned was don’t shy away from using a defibrillator because you think you don’t know how to. Open it up and it will tell you how to.

Oh yeah, if the symptoms match do the thing, but if they don’t then stay well clear 'cos you may make things much worse. At least that was the gist.
Brutally honest CPR training I got for SCUBA: you have a dead body here. You may keep things moving long enough for the medics to perform a miracle.

Yeah I bet you don’t even know what song you’re supposed to sing while you do it these days!

It’s probably been replaced with a new one by now, but 10+ years ago it was Vinnie Jones doing Staying Alive

Yeah the original I heard was Nelly the Elephant!
I’ve also heard Dancing Queen. I’ve even seen the CEO of BHF recommending Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush!

They probably dropped it because everyone was pausing for the build up to the chorus.

That’s certainly my experience of veterinary CPR, although the technology involved is obviously much less advanced when AEDs get involved. Here’s an interesting article about it (warning: contains discussion of end of life and trauma):

An idea that’s struck me about Xia: 5 players is fine, but each new or slow player counts as 2.

In a dream: the late-night conspiracy channel is suddenly replaced by the Christian Exercise Channel, in which a blonde young woman in a shapeless sack does an aerobics session while talking about how wives can best please their husbands.

This game is a Solo Climber but the twists are: you play cards facing the table and you play cards for other people
