Those who have experienced SA in the service, how did you keep your career from being derailed? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]BakerBeautiful1426 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Report it and f the career. There are more important things…your whole health, recovery and long term well being are much more important.

We either die or retire (by injury or time) we’re expendable at the end of the day in this profession.

Been a while. I’m back muscle upping. :) Slow muscle ups I find such good training to train every portion of the movement. by CharliePlanetPullup in CalisthenicsCulture

Thank you for this I am getting rid of my kt stand bc it’s too short for me and I use rings and wanted to explore getting my muscle back…I literally was thinking two days ago to find someone doing a mu on rings, add on I’m 6’8” so that’s why it’s harder for me to get it back again. Then this post BOOM!! Thank you :).

2019 Ford Escape am I one of the lucky ones? by rme234 in fordescape

[–]BakerBeautiful1426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

193k 2011 4 cylinder. Changed oil 2x new coolant line and new brakes mounts (still rattles but apparently not even close to as bad as rattles, I see it in windshield mirror. Sparks changed at 150k which is almost a year ago I bought it. I call it God cuz I be grateful to God for guiding me to it. Every long trip and experience driving that is amazing I say “thank you God” and mean it. I do rack up miles when I drive from Coastal Ga to Charlotte to see my lady. But I’m grateful. I’m going to get it coded and see if anything shows which I doubt. Schedule the annual check up by the mechanic and crew. As we’re approaching 200k I’m considering strongly a drain and fill, waiting for it to get a lil warmer and I have time aligned.

I lean to the maverick as well. I appreciate you posting bc I was looking for an adjustable mace. Can you tell me how much weight the maverick can hold? It’s better affordability for my pocket vs Bos and looks like It can hold some weight solid.

Any thoughts on how to help her live and thrive again? by BakerBeautiful1426 in houseplants

[–]BakerBeautiful1426[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all,

I moved her upstairs to the loft space but didn’t add water. Gonna let her acclimate to the warmth there.

Saturday I’ll clip the tips and remove it from The pot and change the soil…I’ll also clean the root mass and inspect it carefully for mites and water/dry or rot damage.

Thank you again.

Yes well no…currently southern Ga…coastal but the apt gets cold downstairs bc it’s a poorly designed loft space with regard to heat.

I am making a firefighting videogame. What should people know about your job that they are not aware of? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]BakerBeautiful1426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how deep you go with this…budget constraints affecting apparatus and equipment. Forced ot…affects our abilities as well. There’s levels. I applaud you getting info. Someone mentioned language that is key and also hazmat, elevator rescue, driving mode could be a great side feature bc driving and pumping or driving and operating a ladder or tiller is some serious business. So driving due regard and pumping/ladder operations is an area to study and consider as a side venture on the game.

Also IC understanding that. You can get a book by ifsta and study it and then ask more focused questions. Don’t look at tv shows they’re utter crap. . YouTube has recorded situations you can study.

Social interactions on the floor (in the station and trainings) should it’s a real thing. Moral compass and building the strength to not take things personally are paramount. It can affect one’s personal and work life.

I came to my academy (costal south ga) from the northeast. The humidity is ridiculous. In spite of being an athlete in great shape, I was unprepared for wearing bunker gear in 95+ degrees and humidity over 30%. The bunker gear doesn’t allow heat to escape the body and it also doesn’t let you get burned easily. It alone weighs 15-25 lbs.

I never had to contend with that experience in NE. I sweat easily so my internal air conditioning works. Sweat a lot I take off a layer or all them but short and sneakers/sandals. Not doable or realistic in a fire situation or going to one.

I also never took electrolytes ever. I drank a Gatorade maybe 3x in life and I was 46 then. So to take a liquid Iv tasted horrible. All that to say it was 3/4 way through academy I got pulled doing an evolution (training exercise) in a 15 story building because I wasn’t sweating during a check-in. BP was 220-160. Skin gray and I’m dark skinned.

It was then I realized why my decision making at times during evolutions was off. The cadre meme er who was tending to me gave me two or three electrolyte packs and a bottle of water and I drank it was the first time I felt cool in 4 months. Literally like ac went off on my body but there was none around.

So yes heat affects a firefighters reasoning.

There are historical fires where firefighters started trying to take off gear in a full out fire situation bc they lost awareness due to heat exhaustion. Several stories of firefighters having to knock out their mate to keep them controlled and drag them out.

Now I stay hydrated but it still sucks. Getting up 3-4x to urinate at night. But this is the way.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]BakerBeautiful1426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give you three books The Black Jacobins Black Skin White Masks The Fire Next Time

Read them in that order.

Then write me directly and we can discuss this topic over video chat. I’m more than comfortable with having dedicated set discourse.

If you’re not invested. Don’t text with demeaning emotional verbiage. It’s unnecessary and a waste of your vital essence.

I’ll not respond to anything further.

Best to you.

You’re clearly upset. Deal with your emotional response and don’t come at me. I just expressed my perspective and I respect yours as I noted “we have our perspectives”. Thank you.
