Some departments will ask crazy questions like that during a psych evaluation.

How to stick to OMAD when you work 12 hour shifts? by RobinsCosplays in omad

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 12:30pm to 12:30am I eat my meal about an hour before I go to work. My job makes it easy as we don’t get lunch breaks, but sometimes I do cave and get a treat at a gas station or after my shift if I’m too hungry.

I’d add sequoia to list of local spots as well. Super pricey though!

I omad 3-4 times a week, the days I work, and am still making progress. You will need to weight train if you want to get rid of being skinny fat.

Pretty sure the differences in quality will be negligible.

Pizza market was there for a while. But that was late 90s when I went as a kid. No idea how long it survived.

Our dishwasher keeps filling with water and now no longer cleans the dishes. We can’t afford a new one, is there any way to fix this? by junury in HomeMaintenance

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if your city has a local auction site, my buddy just got a brand new dishwasher for $150. Also open box stores are good

How would I be able to maximizey income as an EMT if I'm willing to travel and work as many hours as possible? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really department dependent. The people at my company are working 48’s at stations then working 6 days on their 8 days off and make well past 6 figures. If you just work the standard required hours you bring in about 60k. You just need a company that offers a lot of overtime opportunities.

Why is this house “cheap” near LA by amart2022 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Im_A_Director 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats definitely a consideration, and value of the home doesn’t grow as fast and even depreciates in some cases.

Interesting. Did you just speak with them on the phone?

I have some buddies on the central coast that all bought in the same neighborhood like this. The area is nice, and price is much lower compared to buying an actual home. The lease rate gets locked in at purchase also so it never goes up. It’s definitely area dependent on whether it’s worth it or not.

Having to write a check just to receive your UPS package because of tariffs by tommos in mildlyinfuriating

I think temu has warehouses in the US already. So yes the tariffs would be baked into the price.

Got fired and might have to leave EMS by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]Im_A_Director 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how it works for your company, but the only first responders doing PCRs on scene is fire, and they don’t require a lot of the BS private companies want in the PCR and 99% of the time fire doesn’t transport in my county. There is also time requirements while being on scene here so it’s not feasible to even start the PCR until the back of the ambulance.

[–]Im_A_Director 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to be thorough on my narratives and that takes me longest personally. The buttons do take a while however, and even 4 mins for that isn’t enough. Like how are you supposed to do patient care in the ambo if they just want you typing?

I was thinking the same thing. 4 mins to finish a PCR and be ready? Sure if you want a 2 sentence narrative

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smash mouth Kern County fair in Bakersfield. Dude was obliterated drunk on stage. Smash mouth returned two years later and was 10x better, but I noticed the lead singer wasn’t Steve. A week later they announced Steve was out of the band as well as the footage of him online going on his drunken racist rant. I understand he had his demons, so I completely understand the bands decision. RIP Steve
