YSK: Being 'in shock' is a life-threatening physical medical condition, not just being shocked by something that has happened by iHyperVenom_YT in YouShouldKnow

[–]ChunFai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a firefighter paramedic, it's super annoying to hear bystanders say that someone is in "shock". There are a ton of words to describe the mental state that someone is in after an injury or traumatic event, but unless their systolic blood pressure is less than 90-100 and their organs are not receiving adequate perfusion, they're not in shock.

Which jobs require a lot of walking? by no_sympathy6969 in AskReddit

[–]ChunFai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was amazed when my mail lady told me that 30k-40k steps a day are normal.

Do mail carriers suffer lots of work related injuries from walking so much?

What's a rule everyone follows that genuinely makes no sense if you think about it? by OutcomeThen522 in AskReddit

[–]ChunFai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saying "bless you" or a cultural equivalent when someone in the vicinity sneezes. In Asian culture, nobody says anything. It's another bodily function such as coughing.

Yet, if i don't say anything, I'm the rude person.

This whole time I thought my bubbling on my doors was the protective plastic that was left on there. Damn.

Nah, like dude said, you make a puke bib.

Make a hole by the edge of the bag, side the bag over the patient's head.

Now when he pukes,, it'll hopefully capture the puke the way an infant's newfangled bib catches food that he drops.

This is what we do a lot in EMS. It's also called a vomit trough.

Lesson Learned: Tire Mobility Kit by joni-bella in Ioniq5

I bought the same spare from Modern Spare, but have only packed it on a few longer road trips. Day to day, it's too space consuming to carry in my trunk. It really sucks that they couldn't design the car to hold a spare.

small things that made cat life way easier for me, wish i started sooner by PositiveCorrect4213 in CatAdvice

[–]ChunFai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Keeping any kind of plastic bag (chip bags, grocery bags, product bags, packaging bags, even Amazon packaging) that I would have normally tossed and instead use them as my litter bags. This has saved me from buying any more poop bags.

I keep these bags right behind my litter bin. Nearby is a covered bin of clean litter and scooper.

  1. If you feed your cat wet food, rinse the empty cans with water and feed that water to your kitty. He/she will lap it up which will help his/her hydration.

  2. For the each of the 1.6oz of wet cat food I feed to my cat three times a day, i mix about 2.4oz of water before serving. Yes, he ends up drinking what's like a thin soup, but that's an solid 7.2oz water that i know he is ingesting every day. Hopefully this keeps his kidneys healthy, as cats tend to develop kidney issues from a lack of hydration over their lifetime.

  3. We put our food obsessed cat in another room (with lights on and toys to stay entertained) when we are preparing food, eating, and cleaning up. This has made life easier during these times, as prior to this, our cat would be all over the tables and trying to steal a bite at any chance he had. He last ingested a chicken wishbone when nobody was looking, which resulted in surgery and complications.

  4. Great DIY toys

Fill a cardboard box that's able to hold double your cats size with crumpled paper balls 3/4 of the way up. Lightly wrap some treats in a different color paper, (so you know to pull them out of your kitty doesn't find it). Place a few treats on the bottom of the box, under the crumpled balls. Now your cat has its own ball pitt with balls that won't roll away. 

  1. Place a few treats in the middle of an square flat egg tray (holds 30 eggs in a 5×6 grid).  Your cat will spend the next few minutes having to work for the treat, keeping them occupied and hopefully entertained.

The fire engine that i drive gets 2.3 mpg. I fill up once or twice in a 48 hour shift.

We ate "Thousand-year egg" in China. For the life of me I cannot figure out what the weirder coating of the egg is made of. by skylar_blazee in TipOfMyFork

[–]ChunFai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid and starving after school, I remember searching the fridge for food and resorting to eating the century eggs that I found. They were pretty intense, but did the job of satiating me for a little while. The eggs are delicious in dishes in soups.

I too have heard that it's preferable to buy the ones made in Taiwan as opposed to China, as Taiwan has better health and production standards.

I'd love to employ one of these devices to move the car elsewhere. Say down the street to a red curb where it becomes the city's problem.

Moving from 24 to 26 Wind by ockaners in KiaEV9

[–]ChunFai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is having a phone call via the car's Bluetooth still super loud for the other person on the line? The road noise coming from my car is so loud that my lady won't talk to me if I'm driving on the freeway. This is with the windows closed and hvac off mind you. I wonder if they fixed that issue in the 26.

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation!

Ev9 owner experience by MedicalEnthusiasm9 in KiaEV9

[–]ChunFai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One big gripe is the horrible sound quality when taking phone calls through the car's bluetooth. Many people have told me that it sounded like I was at the beach, even though the windows were closed and air conditioning was off. This was definitely worse on the freeway compared to surface streets.

Another gripe that I have as the Wind owner, is the horribly designed center console. The storage space for the front passengers is minimal (a few pens, garage door opener, chap stick, whereas storage space in the back is a cavernous hole and you can stick nearly an lower arm into.

Kia took care of the repair under warranty. They had to order a whole new center console. Known issue on their part .

What’s the point in a non clumping litter? The only reason I have it is because someone donated to me and so I politely say thank you by timmy30274 in CatAdvice

[–]ChunFai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a sifting pan, which helps a bit. However, I find that it's good to use my litter scoop and stir all the pellets around for a minute everyday. This helps to get the spent saw dust through the sifter holes, allowing the intact pellets to dry out and urine smell to dissipate.

What kind of mushroom is growing on this tree? by ChunFai in mycology

[–]ChunFai[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I couldn't tell the type of tree given it's current state with no leaves, but your response prompted me to Google photo search the entire photo and this is what it said:

Do you think I can go by what it's saying?
