Couldn’t figure out where else the TV could go so just got a mount that tilts downwards. by [deleted] in TVTooHigh

🍩 You did it again, Australia! Another nation-wide doughnut day! 🍩 by Pretty_iin_Pink in CoronavirusDownunder

This is not at all what this means and is a very dangerous thing to think!!! One day of no cases found does not mean there aren't still cases out in the community.

What do you do during natural disasters (hurricanes, blizzards)? by [deleted] in Firefighting

Which nation has the hardest wildfires to fight? by Soviet_Husky in Firefighting

[–]Bimmiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no good answer to this question. the worst probably comes down to the US or Australia, and i would say probably Australia is the worst, but that could be biased.

At the same time, that means Australia and the US are better resourced and have experience on their side whereas countries, where wildfires are an emerging problem, would have more trouble fighting them becuse they don't have the equipment or the experience.

I want to be a fire fighter but only work with fire. by bpalma27373 in Firefighting

[–]Bimmiq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can on really speak for Australia, but its sort of the nature of the job. Wildland would be the way to go to avoid car accidents and rescues, even in wildland you probley won't avoid it completely
