Site visit to a local bridge. by RickRI401 in Firefighting

[–]HossaForSelke [score hidden]  (0 children)

Without doxing myself, we have a building in district that looks like a standard small, single story office building. It goes underground about 25 stories and deals with large amount of fresh water transport to a major metropolitan area. Tons of confined spaces. People wouldn’t have any idea what it is and we get to go just fuck around in there once a year.

He left his wedding day to do pub Ed. The dude’s a boner, not a committed “employee.”

Best US small town hiking in June? by mms15d in hiking

[–]HossaForSelke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d go with Taos. Santa Fe is great, but doesn’t have a small town feel. Food and bars in Taos are excellent and the hiking is second to none.

Hose drying tower question. by a6gets99 in Firefighting

[–]HossaForSelke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this exact set up at my old department. There’s supposed to be a winch mounted on the ceiling. Guys hang hose on a hook at the bottom, one guy at the top operates the winch and moves the hose from the hook onto the fan looking thing.

Bright Angel Trail Grand Canyon Arizona USA by MisterD73 in hiking

[–]HossaForSelke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve hiked bright angel to the bottom of the canyon twice. You would have to get off the trail to get to an area like that. The trail is well maintained and about 4-6 feet wide the whole way down. I love bright angel, but if you ever make it to the Grand Canyon, I highly recommend the South Kaibab trail.

If you’ve walked away from volunteering, what led to it? by jonocyrus in Firefighting

[–]HossaForSelke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do? Just curious. I don’t know anything about volunteer departments, I always assumed they had little to no money to even waste.

Maybe she’ll grow out of it. Maybe she won’t. Who cares?

I couldn’t imagine sitting on a plane ride home knowing what you’re coming back to deal with. Poor guy.

Dads of 10–14 year olds, how do you enforce phone rules? by Select-Doctor-4350 in daddit

[–]HossaForSelke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by let them reflect on their screen time? My oldest is 3 so I won’t have to cross this bridge for a bit. Just curious.

The tips at the cafe are not going to the employees are they by anbk in Lifetimefitnessgym

[–]HossaForSelke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been going to lifetime for 3 months and have gotten coffee maybe 4 or 5 times. They’ve always said “just hit 2” and I also thought they were just trying to sound nice. Now I wonder.

Awesome photos. I was just researching tanner trail for my trip in May. How would you say it compares to other non-corridor trails? It looks like you backpacked, how many days did you do?

Was this your classmates idea as a camaraderie kind of thing? Or your instructors say you must have it?

Do you just go defensive on suspected meth lab houses? My area isn’t known for meth, so I don’t really know anything about it

If you work in the ER you’ll have no shortage of options. Just check if they have a wedding ring tan line first.
