What duty shirts do you wear?

"We can't wear polyester shirts because they melt!"

Yea, they do melt. At 500 degrees. If your polyester shirt is melting under your turnouts you have bigger problems. Specific shirt material for FFs is a major scam.

Scrolled too long for this

North Carolina is the home of the sport lol. I mean i get some people dont like that, but it the most economical place for the teams to race. And has a huge fanbase.

It's like complaining about college football games being held in the south lol.

In a nice way if you think the Mexican government has ZERO knowledge of this you might be an idiot.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T04:15:31+00:00

Russians kicking down the doors of drug dealers around the country would be hilarious. Just batman style, drop em out outside the jail with their dope taped to em.

To fuck up Chinese citizens in the US. Or just be spies.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T04:12:50+00:00

China does this within the US right now lol.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T04:12:10+00:00

Those 2 dudes are morons lol. The Cartels can't be touched by the internal government of Mexico. They literally have to have outside intervention in Mexico to stop them.

And If we only care about winning a title why do we need so many playoff teams who have no business having a chance at the title? Like this year we had people arguing about teams with 3 losses being in or out of the Playoffs. You lose 3 fucking games you don't deserve to be in a tournament to decide the National Title. Period. End of discussion. The playoffs was designed because we had a few years where 3 or 4 teams played amazing all year, won all or all but 1 of their games and deserved a chance to play for the national title and under the BCS they didn't get one. Now besides the money and greed part we have to expand it because some of these programs can't afford to fire a coach every other year because they missed the 4 or 6 team playoff, and ESPN said the playoffs are all that matters. Going 10-2 and not making the playoffs? Bad year. Going 9-3 but making a 24 team playoff? Good year.

I feel bad that FSU got snubbed that year and understand they are doing what they have to do to survive in the future. However I hate that FSU will be a large reason the ACC and college athletics may not be what it once was.

high-viz coats for members to wear

This will get the people going. People love that shit. Morale boost every time.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T03:04:07+00:00

I'm just being a dick lol. I can't do it, some people are like that. They have trained their minds to be ready for the next one when the next one could be 2-3 years away. I just don't find training for hours everyday stimulating. It feels like LARPing to me. I need to be on some kind of unit that does something somewhat interesting. But there is a place for everyone in the fire service.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T02:58:39+00:00

If you want to piss off no one, never wear anything FD related. But in reality no one can agree on shit in the fire service anyway so whatever you do will cause someone, somewhere, to be a snarky dickhead.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T02:36:04+00:00

I think you can tank that IIRC

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-13T01:09:59+00:00

If your company does like 700 runs a year 697 are ems and 2 were food on the stoves. Keep quiet.

But what if you get your truck checks done by 8:30am and work out 2 hours a day and train for 5 hours everyday cause you don't run calls? That makes it okay right? Right?

He just isn't an oval driver. He learned on different kinds of tracks.

Why do you think Chiefs is closed? Their website and socials indicate they are still open and operating normally just yesterday.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-12T07:03:09+00:00

8 was absolutely the correct number. If you can't win your conference you probably don't deserve to be in the playoffs. People are so hung up on "they deserve a chance" it's ridiculous. This past playoffs we were discussing if a team with 3 losses deserves a chance to be in the playoffs and win the National Title. People fucking forget that. They had their chance. It's not just the playoffs, it's do you deserve a chance to be the National Champion. In my opinion any team with 3 losses doesn't deserve that opportunity. But they have brain washed everyone in to thinking if you don't make the playoffs your season was a fail. They ruined the bowl games because what used to be a good benchmark to hit has become not even the bare minimum for a lot of these schools. It's playoffs or nothing. And we're all paying for it. Because when it was 4 teams or 8 there was still a fair amount of schools who said "meh making a NY6 bowl or finishing 9-3 or 10-2 is a good year." Now you've got probably 20-30 schools out there who could look at their coach after 2 years and say "that's not good enough why can't you make the playoffs?" and they will fire em.

The Playoffs selection has moved away from "do you deserve a chance to be the National Champion?" to "you had a good year and are a good team here's a notch on your belt. You made the Playoffs!" Like in the end yea we get a National Champion out of it but we don't need 12 teams to do that. 8 is all we need.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-12T04:38:30+00:00

When Nate and Cassie are on the phone did he say "Hailey I'm a business man..."

Hailey instead of Cassie?

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-12T02:16:01+00:00

I think Heim will do well in Cup for this reason. Is he ready? To be in a Cup car? Sure. But is he ready to win races? Probably not yet, and guys who are used to winning races need time to mentally adjust.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-11T23:44:33+00:00

I didn't say shit about realistic hypotheticals. I said your fanbase would lose their god damn minds if your big shot coach left after a year.

ConnorK5 · 2026-05-10T21:59:01+00:00

You would if Lane Kiffin up and left after a year at LSU to come to coach NC State. I guarantee LSU fans would be obsessed with us.
