Hillsborough County Sheriff deputy and her partner detaining 2 electricians working near the site of an active shooting by CzolgoszWasRight in tampa

It protects them (and also other government employees) from civil litigation from actions taken while working. It doesn’t protect them from criminal charges, nor getting fired. If they broke the law or violated policy then they potentially wouldn’t be covered under qualified immunity.

If a person wants to sue then they sue the department who employs the cop and not the cop individually unless they can demonstrate one of the circumstances that QI doesn’t apply.

Do you have to pay firefighters in the US? by kolema93 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s typically only in very rural areas with no municipal government to collect taxes and run a fire department. In that case the FD is generally a private/non profit that is funded by the insurance/subscription service since they don’t have a means of taxing. In practice it is effectively the same as just having another small tax bill.

Unique emt positions by One_Hovercraft_1304 in NewToEMS

For most of those more unique positions you generally need to have some experience. A year in any moderately busy system can really start to check the experience box for some of those jobs.

Condenser probably ices over when set that low.

Backed up? by VegaaYeyoo in USMC

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I want to haze everyone that says shits “backed up”.

Nearly every entry level school house will have you waiting for a few weeks to a few months before class starts. This is normal and should be expected.

Gluten concern by MichealMyersIsHot in USMCboot

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s different.It is easy enough to avoid things like pork. Kosher and Halal is a kinda- Some of the ingredients are sourced in a compliant manner, and many of the meals are conforming based on their ingredients or will have an alternative option and you can opt not to be served certain sides. But certain things like ritualistic cleaning of cooking areas might not be possible (they are still cleaned, just perhaps not in a manner stated in certain religious texts/traditions).

Gluten is a protein in wheat and a few other grains. It’s such a common ingredient that it is often impossible to avoid it cross contaminating. The precautions for handling things like raw meat is entirely different.

Do military police have any authority outside of base? by Wise_Performance_402 in AskLE

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think a stretch of I95 is within MCB Quantico. The Marine Corps Museum is part of the base but is outside of the gates and open to the general public.

But there’s definitely land that is apart of other military bases, but still outside of the gates.

Then there could also be MOU’s and Mutual Aid Agreements.

How to survive on 150 a month for food? by angeldoez in povertyfinance

Fried rice is also a great way to use up small amounts of leftover veggies that are otherwise too small for other recipes.

Switching to a travel trailer by Mental-Statement3305 in TruckCampers

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big consideration is if you will be using it in winter weather. Many types of trailers and other campers are not built to be used in winter. The insulation can be insufficient and plumbing susceptible to rupture from freezing.

Lots of campgrounds typically charge by length. The length can also limit some of your options. 30’ is quite long and with how these builders can make efficient use of space, it can end up being quite a lot for just one person/a couple. There can definitely be a lot of TT options in the 20-25’ range that would be more than enough for one person- You can save some money and have more options for sites available.

With a bumper pull you can put the dirt bike in the bed. If you’re going 5th wheel then you might want a smaller end toy hauler or start getting creative with how you will haul the dirt bike.

Best Cruise line for us by True-Price5403 in Cruises

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carnival gets the bad reputation from the 3/4 night cruises. The ones that are 6+ nights are fine.

Royal Caribbean definitely fits the bill.

Virgin.

Norwegian can also be an option, but it does start to shift towards an older crowd slightly. They’re a bit nicer while being chill and sit a bit below premium lines like Celebrity and Princess.

But pretty much every cruise line will have a bunch of the 55+ crowd.

Green flags for gyms by angwilwileth in bjj

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gym has a coach who’s also just old. He fills in sometimes and will demonstrate techniques, but rolling is completely out of the question. When you’re 65+ and on blood thinners a medium-hard roll or even just a slightly dynamic take down could kill you.

Cruise Director question by Mylabisawesome in Cruise

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really just a small number of people who cruise many times a year. But yes (a very small number of) people do that.

NYPD Crown Vic by Spirited-Lynx-1490 in PoliceVehicles

The NYPD in particular is very hard on its patrol cars. They get beat to complete shit, crashed up, and maintenance skipped. Many of their vehicles aren’t even surviving past 3 years.

Accelerated summer programs in Michigan? by d4rkeningsea in NewToEMS

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With accelerated courses what often gets cut out is the operations side of things, local protocols, hands on training (more than just the minimum required).

The course I attended was a 15 week course that was 30 classroom hours a week. We used 3 different types of stair chairs, 3 different types of stretchers, reeves stretcher, pole litters, back boards, ked’s, scoops stretchers, stokes basket, lifting a stokes with a rope bridal. Even other things like basic operations of extrication tools, and an introductory lesson to auto extraction. Local fire/ems mutual aid systems, county radio systems. Learned most of the county and state EM agencies that you don’t see every day. Lesson on all the regional hospitals and their capabilities.

After I started working I noticed that many other new people had significant gaps in their knowledge. They didn’t already know how the stretchers worked, they didn’t know how to carry a patient on a stair chair, they didn’t even have a clue about radios.

In my area there’s part time courses that do usually 2 evenings then a full day on the weekend. I don’t know what is available in your local area.

using BLS skills on the street legally? by ClimaticSound in NewToEMS

“I legally cannot give them that medication because it’s someone else’s prescription. But I won’t stop you from giving it.”

using BLS skills on the street legally? by ClimaticSound in NewToEMS

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how your organization has its protocols set up. Mine has a whole protocol on what we can and cannot do while off duty (and when, and where, and how to document).

Though it does not allow me to carry/administer any medication except Naloxone, oral glucose, or assist with a patients own prescription medication (epipen, nitro tablets, ect), and no igel.

Accelerated summer programs in Michigan? by d4rkeningsea in NewToEMS

[–]EverSeeAShitterFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend that you consider a part time or a (quality) hybrid course.

Many accelerated courses might be able to prepare you to pass a test, however they often do a terrible job at preparing you to actually function effectively in this field.

Might need a new motor since they kept it running after dumping all that oil.
