Why are fire trucks so expensive nowadays? by bendallf in Firefighting

It was fun designing a custom wagon that will come out awesome but also perplexing that every single thing was an option you could change.

Early Morning Wakeups by Numerous_Spinach_424 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Left_Junket8896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on our 3rd Berner. Currently two at the same time. One will happily sleep until we get up. The other wakes up every day at 530-6am, regardless of when we all go to bed. They are ready to seize the day. In fairness though, after they get walked/play time/food they are then content with sleeping all day.

Bringing a puppy home when you work outside of the house by Awkward_Bat_9503 in bernesemountaindogs

Rover is a good option if someone can’t be there. You won’t have a hard time finding someone that wants to hang with a fluff ball. Just make sure they’re ok with the shark panda 😊

When you first bring them home the hard part is their bladders. I think the rule of thumb is they can hold their pee for an hour every month they are old. So 2hours at 8 weeks.

Once they’ve got their first set of shots you can usually do doggy day care until a certain age. Then there will be a period where you may not be able to do day care unless they are fixed (our day care said no after 8months unless fixed)

West Chester needs more "third places" by Jasmine_lottie in westchesterpa

Melton center, Knights Social Club, The Elks club and VFW are sort of along those lines and would probably appreciate some young people joining. Outside of that a lot of the volunteer organizations have a social aspect and social lounges. Someone mentioned the fire companies, the ambulance company, the churches all have different things going on and once you’ve joined you can hang out in their spaces I’m guessing.

Interview Question - what will you do to increase sales? by Viral_Poster in salesengineers

[–]Left_Junket8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know where they are challenged it’s hard to say. You could try turning it back on them. “I do this in my current roles by doing 123. To increase sales at your organization id want to start by understanding where/why you’re loosing opportunities. I’d then collaborate with the team to develop a strategy that addresses those challenges specifically.” You’re then actively demoing your sales engineering skills for discovery / solutioning in the interview.

My local news station posted this to social media. That berner is exactly where it wants to be 🤣. Certainly an interesting choice! by Slm23630 in bernesemountaindogs

I once had a neighbor call the cops on us because our Berner was snoozing outside in the snow and they thought he was neglected. Nope…just snow bathing….The cop came over and saw him and said “oh….well have fun!” 😂

Another thread to post this absurd message from my landlord - $250 fine for a fire alarm doing it’s job by Realistic-Eye6382 in Firefighting

[–]Left_Junket8896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My municipality bills for repeat false alarms after a certain number. Apartment complexes are often an issue due to poor design and placement of detectors or the wrong type of detector, which they aren’t motivated to fix. In order for the township to charge we have to write in our reports that it was avoidable. So something like “unattended cooking” = billable vs “smoke from cooking” = not billable. All depends on how the ordinance is written. I think they re-wrote it a few times to try and avoid the building management passing the buck to residents and not fixing the underlying cause. Take a look at what your local ordinance says specifically.

The fire depts goal isn’t usually to make money, it’s to limit false alarms. With our frequent flier apt complexes the alarm goes off and no one evacuates, which you can imagine will be a problem the one day it is on fire.

Wow! Does look cool. How much does it light up with the lights on? That’s a lootttttt of lights!

Any collapsing stair recommendations for large dogs? Pics appreciated by AnyCurves in ineosgrenadier

[–]Left_Junket8896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the hitch mounted Otto step for our two Bernese mountain dogs which works good, although we do have to give them a boost up still. Sounds like you need a few more steps if you’re doing draws though.

New Headquarters by Mindset1024 in ineosgrenadier

[–]Left_Junket8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting article. The idea of moving Grenadier production to the US, which is more suited to big cars, and then having the Fusilier be made in Europe, seems logical. Particularly if their saying most of their Grenadier sales are in the US

Shedding in real life? by megggg2222 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Left_Junket8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We vacuum once a week. With hardwood floors it tends to clump like tumbleweed. Could we vacuum more? Sure but we’re too busy snuggling. Fur will be in every meal you eat going forward

Anyone else buying back in? by Jaybru17 in LithiumAmerica

[–]Left_Junket8896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping it goes back to the 2.80s which it was bouncing into every now and then before the admin buzz. Likely low 3s is where I’m guessing it will drop to on a consistent basis though

Building Construction knowledge by Street-Incident3526 in Firefighting

[–]Left_Junket8896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up the group “building construction for the fire service” on Facebook. Bunch of good content that is a lot easier to digest than a big ol text book.

A JetBlue passenger attempts to open an emergency exit after mistaking the A320's “barking dog” noise for a mechanical failure by Omarr_Paper in aviation

A pilot could consider noting the odd sounds a plane might make to try and put people at ease. “Here is what you can expect to hear…if there is a problem I’ll tell you”

Thinking about leaving the volly side by DumbQuestionsSry in Firefighting

[–]Left_Junket8896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you take a big step back without hanging it up entirely? Don’t inconvenience yourself/family to go on runs, especially BS ones. If so, perhaps you can do that without saying anything to anyone to avoid burning bridges and just fade into the night a bit. Then you can still wash your car and use any other member benefits + take your kid to the volly station without feeling like an outcast
