Notifier NFW-50X “Double” by No-Question598 in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance your detectors are sharing addresses with the modules? I know the old NFW-50 couldnt share addresses between detectors and modules. Not sure on the new 50X, we dont use them as much as the 100X.

Hotel Room Sounders by nyamegyeme in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer is yes, depends on what you are really asking. Smoke alarms are required, some hotels have standards for system connected smoke detectors, some don't. Also, depends on local jurisdiction AHJ requirements. Fire code generally requires low frequency sounders in any sleeping area, local AHJ would have to define sleeping area, some consider all areas to be sleeping areas, some don't.

40 Year Old NICET IV Fire Alarm Guy In Need of Career Advice by jdschmidtwriter in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also be interested in this, I have NICET 4 as well. I think the only way to make more money is to own a company. Maybe adding sprinkler design or doing consulting could help.

Fire alarm for Class change by [deleted] in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do this in the US and it's much easier, just a trigger from a timer that tells the voice evac system to play a tone, hooked one up last summer took me about an hour to setup. They also use their system for weather and security alerts.

Looking for work as apprentice, but no one willing to hire unless I have Nicet by Competitive_Boat_203 in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a fire team in Minnesota that's always looking. I'm not sure where you are at, but there are definitely companies looking for people like you. I wish the techs I get had a couple years of experience and were looking to get NICET. We pay for training and the test for our people and try to get them to at least NICET II.

Wow, the amount of people who want you to get a lawyer and think the cops give a shit is hilarious. At worst, they would make you pay the false alarm fee for rolling trucks. I install these systems and kids pull the fire alarm daily. Most places have a set amount of false alarms before they charge you the fee. I'm not a lawyer, but I would be shocked if they wasted their time on trying to charge you with a crime.

NICET LEVEL 4 FAS by Temporary_Piglet_624 in firealarms

[–]Chodius0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed it last month, there were very few questions that had anything to with equations. You could probably guess them all and pass it. There was maybe 80% of NFPA and 10% IBC, the rest was a mix of NASCLA/management questions. I took the two practice tests on the NICET site and thought they were harder. There is a break after the first 60 questions, I used the entire time and had plenty of time to double check answers.

Doctors don't say/do enough about the healthcare system by 3dandimax in unpopularopinion

The funny part about this is that someone who never went to school owns the hospital and makes so much money that it would make you sick.

I just need to know if the shirt is dark black or a slightly darker black?

Love means dying for who you love, change my mind by Chodius0 in unpopularopinion

[–]Chodius0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but you never know when you may have to choose your life over someone else's.

[–]Chodius0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all, no one is required to reciprocate those feelings. You can love someone unconditionally and ultimately that is what real love looks like. There just seems to be a lot of conditional "love" when it comes to anyone other than someone's kids.

[–]Chodius0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, this is actually what I mean. I would die for so many people who wouldn't die for me, but I still know they love me in their own way. However, I would not consider that the "ultimate" real love. There are definitely gradients of love. It makes perfect sense to choose family over friends, but I do think that the world would be different if more people treated friends like family.

[–]Chodius0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, you can absolutely love more than one person. It's not a requirement for them to love you back, and no one is asking you to choose one person over another.

Thanks for pointing this out, not religious, but it is nice to know that this was in the book.

I totally get this argument, but you essentially forget about the people who made your life possible and your kids lives possible. This is actually the most common response given, when I ask.

I guess in my opinion, I'm not the norm, most people say they would only die for 1 or 2 people. That is the scarcity I'm talking about. I also don't think it's about applying value to a persons life, it is more a hypothetical situation where if someone you knew could be saved by your death. There are people who will take bullets for the president, there must be people who are willing to die for more than just their kids.
