Maybe every day. Maybe a couple times a week you come across something that makes you go "Huh, I did not know that". So if you have a moment like that? Share them here.

today I had my lifeguarding class (I'm an instructor). We do CPR and first aid and talked about utilization of an AED (Automated External Defibrillation ) - We talk about how humility is out the window, and you'll have to shave a hair guy's chest, and remove a woman's bra so this can work properly. Then it dawned on me... "what about nipple rings". So I got home and googled "AED+Nipple Rings" and found forums that seemed to be nurses/EMTs that said anything from "leave them, it won't be a big deal" to "remove them" to "Rip them out if you have to".

So I learned that there isn't a singular theory on what to do if you come across nipple rings while trying to shock someone who has no heartbeat.

I learned that if you are going to rip a massive stockpile of VHS tapes and keep a copy on your hard drive as a backup, have a big hard drive or have the money for an external drive. Good thing I have a credit card.

I learned that I should start new threads right away instead of sitting on them for months. Someone else will eventually start the thread themselves (i.e: this idea).
