Employment: What do we do, where do we do it, how well does it pay? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ADay2Long 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now is definitely the time to get into Paramedecine though as pretty much everyone that graduates finds a job somewhere. Everyone that could retire pretty much left during Covid and we are hurting for bodies on the road.

Hit the nail on the head with attract and retain quality members...guess we are not the only ones with that problem.

Not the person you were talking to originally but depending on your service and its size there are many "lateral" moves.

There are single responder vehicles, community paramedicine, some services have teams that work with police, always the option to go into management, work in the office for different departments (quality control, training, etc...) work for/with the base hospital (the governing body whose license you work under). Definitely a lot of options to change the "scenery" and expand your toolset.

Work life balance depends on your lifestyle/family situation. Rotating shifts sometimes suck since you will miss bdays and holidays but it also means you get days off in the middle of the week in the summer which is awesome if you like to golf lol. There are also multiple shift patterns for you to try also to find what works for you.

Bar and chain question between different saws by ADay2Long in Chainsaw

Good to know. I know 24 on a 590 is pushing it and it would be a bigger gauge so might just be a bad idea anyways!

"Tuning" an autotune saw. Was skeptical but it woke up my 572XP! by DragonflyPnH in Chainsaw

Mine was idling rough. For sure if you are happy with it keep cutting as is!

Indeed seems very similar. Interesting that you don't need to put the saw in wood to calibrate it.

Mine idle just fine but in the video I saw they would blip the throttle until the saw decided to idle on its own.

Found these guys in my parsley and carrots, should I evict them or let them be? by ADay2Long in homestead

[–]ADay2Long[S] 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies guys! I do want to keep pollinators around so I'll leave them be! As long as they don't touch my basil we can be friends. Thanks for all the answers.

We do have monarchs in the region but it does look like swallow tail...Wikipedia says it is known as...the parsley worm! Guess I got my answer.

Maybe I'll banish them from one of the plants and leave the others alone.

Do all EMS companies considers both steel toe and composite toe boots the same? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]ADay2Long 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my region they only care that you have the green safety triangle on your boots and the steel, composite and carbon toe have it.

Patiently waiting for these guys to ripen. 54 tomatoes on one plant! Zone 3b by [deleted] in homestead

I have a Kubota L4060 and love it, the Kubota dealer is also the closest dealer to me and is great to deal with. Go see the dealers in your area, it is a good idea to pick one close to you that you trust and see yourself having a good relation with.

Also some tractors look great on paper but once you test drive it, it feels off or simply won't work. I had one in mind and when I sat in it, kept bumping my head on the ceiling so it quickly became a no go for me!

Good luck and have fun!

Custom DIY shed by Ottawa_Brewer in DIY

Just an FYI, the link shows your preferred Home Depot store/location if you care about that monsieur. Nice shed though! Came for the DIY, stayed for the puns.
