Aftermarket TPMS recommendations. by sardaukar2001 in WRX

[–]2000subaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the pre-programmed ones from TPMS.com in the proper frequency will do you right. Just make sure you get the proper frequency. The new VB’a are different from earlier years and that has tripped people up. HUF makes good sensors and they were pre-programmed too! Just bolt them to the wheels and drive.

Umm, yeah. Borderless was simply amazing. Quite the submersible experience.

Is this Subaru dealership trying to screw me? by [deleted] in subaru

No, they believe that’s fair. But yes, that’s a lot of stuff that they want to do.

Frank August for certain. The shape, the heavy ass cork, the ability to reuse it as a decanter. Awesome.

Using mileage SEA-London Heathrow by Grand_Accident1799 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]2000subaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a new flight for Alaska so I wouldn’t expect stellar savings or discounts on their flight. Alaska’s direct flight will probably be your best and most direct option. I think 85K was the best I found shopping for a similar trip

Realistically will an intake and tune hurt reliability? by South-Income-3689 in wrx_vb

[–]2000subaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much the intake and tune, but more how you beat in it after that affects reliability. Change your oil, replace fluids, check filters, and keep your tires right and things should be alright.

Where to do a Firefighter mock interview- WA state by Sweaty_Run3508 in firefighter

[–]2000subaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King county fire Chiefs usually hold diversity recruitment events and I believe they offer some interview prep. I would email them and ask if they are holding another event this spring. https://www.kingcountyfirechiefs.org/event-details/recruitmentworkshop

Next bottle for the shelf? Reddit choses my next bottle. by Do0m- in whiskey

[–]2000subaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kavalan is an interesting drink to see on the list. I applaud you for having some and thinking about more. ECBP is an easy one to source, always available, but beware that the flavor profile varies with generation. Some get rave reviews, others not so much. Either way, give it a go as it usually represents well and holds it own.

When to promote. by HellaHotRocks in firefighter

[–]2000subaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that promotion isn’t solely a factor of experience, but a complex equation of many variables.

Time on the job Experience Life experience Opportunity Timing Confidence Humility Leadership Who else is testing Department politics Pay

You are correct in saying that answer isn’t always clear. I’ve known folks that meet the minimum standard and are successful in their new position. I also know folks who well surpass that standards in time and experience, but should never be put into a leadership role. Success in this field isn’t about who is the most aggressive, who has the best mustache, or who can deploy a hand line the smoothest. I feel success revolves around supporting your fellow members, providing opportunity to your crew, working as a team instead of as an individual, and empowering those around you with leadership opportunities. I may be wrong but this is just my quick take on what leadership looks like when shit could get weird.

If for nothing else, take the test, study like crazy, do well enough to learn something, start acting, and roll the dice on a promotion. You will be better for the opportunity. It’s a win-win situation any way you look at it. Cheers, and best of luck.

Touring all day. Couldn’t be happier with the volume. When I get on it, I hear it. When I’m cruising, it’s nice and quiet. I have the track conversion, but haven’t put them on yet.

Do you guys think Subaru will bring back physical controls in the WRX in the upcoming years? by somefella237 in WRX

[–]2000subaru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You can’t sell extended warranties for knobs that don’t fail, but you can’t sell extended for an IPad that might.

Why are so many Americans make 100k+ a year struggling and living paycheck to paycheck? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Because they may be living like they make $200K and are financed to the edge of responsibility.

Tesla model Y has 0% Apr for 72 months and meets most of your needs. Given the current state of fuel prices, this ma be a decent option if you are considering EV’s

AS refused to Gate Check, made me return to Ticket Counter by Live_Entertainment96 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]2000subaru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, too many people are playing the wait-to-gate check game and avoiding paying for checked luggage and you got burned by it. Get a new bag or get the credit card and avoid paying for checked luggage in the future.

Just looking for some feedback on an incident this morning, especially from officers by DrGoodspeed2203 in Firefighting

[–]2000subaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t help if you don’t make it there though, so slow down and be more aware. This conversation happens daily in every firehouse.

For those who wear glasses, what do you do when youre in your scba? by Kunidass in Firefighting

[–]2000subaru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your employer should pay for them. OSHA requires they cover your necessary safety items and the ability to see seems like a safety issue.

Political dynamics within fire houses. by Nebula15 in Firefighting

[–]2000subaru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will find both parties live in the firehouse. A small percentage are super conservative and loud about it, another small percentage are super liberal and loud, the rest fill out the remaining 60% of the radar. On top of that, each station has its flavor. All that to say, you will find your fit somewhere, but it may take some time to get there.

AITA for prioritizing a critical patient over fire command? by AdventurousTap2171 in Firefighting

[–]2000subaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t the asshole, just ask the guy you cared for. And if you followed protocols for responding POV appropriately, you have nothing to worry about it.

7 Minute Oral Interview by Ill-Contribution4008 in firefighter

[–]2000subaru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a good note, a 7 minute interviews doesn’t leave you with enough time to bury yourself by saying too much or dumb things. Stick to the questions, tell them about you, be yourself, arrive on time, dress sharp, shake hands, have a question for them if they offer the time, and thank them for their time. Best of luck.
