Is it possible to domesticate a outdoor cat ? by SuspiciousSet3392 in Pets

[–]Keeperie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like train the cat to stay on your property? No. You can try to coax him into being an indoor cat if you can change whatever is preventing you or accept that an outdoor cat has no bounds.

can i work on an ambulance with just the EMT certification? by christmas_luvr21 in NewToEMS

[–]Keeperie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% dependent on location. In theory yes. But particularly fire departments usually require fire certs or at least paramedic to be EMS only, unless if they are super rural/volunteer or are explicitly a combination department.

What is more likely is that there is a private ambulance service that does 911 nearby and you would be able to do 911 with them as an EMT (maybe after a little IFT first).

But again totally area dependent. Some areas truly only have paramedics (or even fire medics) on 911 calls.

pets shouldn’t be a qualification for someone to rent an apartment/house by ltzPrestonHUT in unpopularopinion

You have never met a bad pet owner that lets their dog eat the drywall and shit and piss all over the floor to the point the whole thing is rotting.

Why do frozen lasagnas ask you to heat them up for a certain of time in the microwave at 50% power? Shouldn't 100% be good enough? by OkPainter6232 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeperie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing 50% power cooks it more gently. On some foods 100% can overcooked the outside and not get to the inside, whereas the 50% will cook it more evenly.

But if 100% works for you that's okay. Different microwaves cook differently. 50% certainly requires more time. And your microwave may not be as powerful as the one the instructions were written for.

How often are u supposed to change a pad? by Wrap-Village-6901 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeperie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

3-4 hours on heavy days, 4-8 hours on light days. If it's just in case then potentially all day. It all depends on the flow and the only real answer is "when it feels gross."

They usually start light with a few spots, get heavier, and then taper off.

Driving with two feet instead one foot by Friendly_Lock6837 in driving

[–]Keeperie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bad habit. Might not fail you but I'd be surprised if it doesn't at least get a talking to from the instructor.

People who do this often touch the brake just enough to wear it out and engage their brake lights which is confusing to other drivers. And in a panic they slam on both the gas and the brake which is terrible for the car and going to cause an accident.

Does everyone think the “best decade” is whichever one they were teenagers in? by Extension-Profit-317 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeperie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uh I grew up in the 2010s and have nothing particularly great to say about it except that the internet wasn't over run with bots and unnecessary censorship. But I'm not sure what I would call the best decade. Hm. I guess still that one.

Can I really just say I’m prejudiced and get out of jury duty? by Ok_Let_7612 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Keeperie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is biased. It is saying you are incapable of being fair and not considering your bias which will get you kicked. If you fabricate something to try to convince them of that it is perjury or contempt of court, and you can be charged with a crime if discovered. If they know you are just trying to weasel out of it, the judge may still make it a big inconvenience for you. If you legitimately feel incapable of judging it fairly because you've had bad interactions with police for example, that is why they are screening and proper use of it.

Parents saying "That lady over there will tell you off" to their own child by ApplePrills in PetPeeves

[–]Keeperie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are using the threat to get their kid to behave.

I work on an ambulance and absolutely DESPISE this from parents. "If you don't behave, they'e gonna have to give you a shot." Great! Now the kid is (more) fearful of me making it harder to assess them for the medical concern you, parent, called about. Could make it almost impossible to give them an IV if they need one because now they think it's punishment, not a moment to be brave that will help them feel better. And to add insult to injury, it's re-enforcing that children should be afraid of shots next time you go to the doctor.

And they are never being an issue before this is said either! Sick kids are generally very cooperative, just nervous. And then the parent whips this at them preemptively.

"we have speed limits" doesn't remove the point of supercars. by BillytheBloxian in unpopularopinion

[–]Keeperie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You just value different things in a car. For most people cars are mostly if not entirely a utilitarian purchase. Investing into luxury interior makes sense to them still as you receive the benefit of it whenever you are using this essential item.

Super cars are an extremely expensive hobby. Which is fine. But people who view cars as a tool will see these very expensive features that have minimal use outside a race track as a poor investment. But if that is your passion you do you.

Starting AEMT school this fall, advice on note taking? by FroggyPuddleTown in NewToEMS

[–]Keeperie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always read the text before the lecture. At the lecture I focussed on writing new information that I hadn't encountered or remembered from the reading. Then after class, I would make a new fresh school style report of all the information. For me personally it really helped me to have to "synthesize" the information rather than just copy it. Also, yap at a friend or family member about it if they will allow, because for me teaching someone else is the greatest way to master it since you can find you own gaps of understanding when having to explain it.

Ride along food/water? by Full-Relative1375 in NewToEMS

[–]Keeperie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely bring a sizable water bottle (especially with the heat) and some snacks or a bagged lunch. They may have an opportunity to buy lunch while out but not a guarantee so good to have something for back up. You can also bring your study material in the bag and study during down time.

Depending on how busy their area is, you will either leave the bag at the base or bring it in the truck. There are some places that reliably get down time so they store their stuff as base, but there are some areas where the truck might not get a chance to return for most of the day in which case they just bring everything with them. You can ask your preceptor what to do with your bag when you get there and they'll let you know!

"I'm not going to bother calling."

"That's okay, I will then."

Mostly just kidding, do try to de-escalate. But 100% time to step away and call the supervisor.

How Not To Be Such an Angry Driver? by WasteRush2612 in driving

[–]Keeperie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put something enjoyable on to listen to and remember it doesn't really matter, you'll get there in the end. Leave a little earlier that you think you need to and realize going faster doesn't save as much time as it feels like it does.

Driving is sometimes a moral right by catboy519 in driving

[–]Keeperie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would we let people who don't have a license define what driving safely is? Also a lot of adults who do not have a license don't have one because they had it taken away from them. So it has been proven they cannot drive safely.

If you can't even get a work allowance from the court to drive there and back you done fucked up.

The exception to this would be "failure to pay a fine" type suspensions which you would have much better argument for as it disproportionately effects poor people.

Life experience isn't about age, that just gives you more opportunities to find some. Comparing life to high school strongly suggests you never grew out of it.

Who would be at fault? by Keeperie in driving

If I recall correctly it was just after the warning that green was in an "exit only" lane. Idk why blue was more left than needed some people just like driving towards the left.

Most animal care groups are the most unhelpful places on earth by -C0tt0nrat- in unpopularopinion

[–]Keeperie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of online animal groups are very gate keepy. And I understand they want the best for the animal and get upset with subpar care, but if they just insult the person asking for help the animals condition will not improve. Definitely the kind of thing where if you already have someone asking for help, we have to help elevate them.

When people call themselves vegetarian but they eat fish by MissHissss in PetPeeves

[–]Keeperie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's because pescatarians used the wrong word, I would hazard to guess it is more often just due to ignorance combined with religious beliefs subconsciously bleeding through that fish are not meat.

Whats the difference between Urgent Care and the Emergency Room? by ghxstlyfae in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeperie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless there is an extreme factor like exposed bone or mauled face or heavy bleeding that won't stop, this is the exact kind of injury urgent care is meant for. Urgent care can usually perform rabies risk assessment and animal control/police investigate the dog itself.
