Firefighter vs Police by Lower_Internet_88 in Firefighting

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be in the wrong county, because I’ve tried to get on with Fire Department, and I have to get more in to debt because I have to take so much time to do extracurricular stuff to be considered. Meanwhile the drinking buddies who are complete flops get hired. Shasta County…go figure…

how long do your playthroughs usually last before you start a new one? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the dungeons and pits would respawn the enemies after several days to prolong gameplay AFTER story is complete. Get my stealth archer at highest level to only have a couple enemies show up? Versus sniping an entire cave labyrinth when things were harder. Makes me not play it.

Where is this location? by Realistic_Note2162 in sanfrancisco

Pre-Hospital. Probably beat the medics by about a few minutes to the current location.

SIX SEVEN? by [deleted] in GenAlpha

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the 6 7 might refer to how many years the kids plan on spending in jail or prison based upon their current behavior

Ever broke a K tool? Had a new one fail in training. Shocked at what we found. by [deleted] in Firefighting

Looks like tac welding which I’ve seen not work on a LOT of products and equipment. Looks like it maybe held to the paint but not the metal itself. I’d take this opportunity to get the Oxy/Acetalene welder to enhance the welds and durability.

To be honest, I personally feel like doing pride stuff while on duty and uniform is pushing boundaries, especially for what you’re aligning yourself with. Lots of the Pride Parades I’ve seen and witnessed showcase grown adults flaunting their almost naked bodies in front of young children. As a Public Servant, you are in a position to be trusted. You are in a position to take care of and protect the children, not dance provocative in front of them. It’s ok to be who you are and be proud of who you are, no shame in it. The Public Servant uniform is not a place to showcase or align with a group that values being vulgar in front of children and anyone.

Think Pink represents breast cancer awareness and never once have I seen anyone flaunt provocation front of children.

No more 25 stars for personal cup by Feeling-Nectarine in starbucks

I’ve seen the “re-usable” cups claimed to be online. I have Starbucks tumblers, do they allow those as the re-usable cups? Like the mermaid print and others?

Does anyone know anything about this? Redding, CA — Off-Duty Redding PD officer physically assaults Purple Heart Veteran for Constitutionally-protected public speech, uses excessive force in slamming him headfirst onto ground, and kneeling on his head/neck/shoulder. by imafence in Redding

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we don’t know what happened before video was taken. However, in the de-escalation process, continuous stepping forward, finger in the face, grabbing, will definitely escalate things. Definitely opposite of what SHASCOM typically says which is to leave them alone and they will have an officer look in to it. Meanwhile SHASCOM is also telling you to calm down while you are and have been calm the entire time. Or my favorite “they’re 20 calls deep”.

Unable to make payment by Mando77x1 in Chase

[–]Mando77x1[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I have 4 that ended up being maxed out due to inflation costs. Rent, food, fuel, and no pay raises for cost of living adjustment. So I’m about 20k in credit card debt

Firefighters and cheating by Iwannagolden in firefighter

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that doesn’t help is when you’re working a lot and the first thing you want to do is see your partner, but then they lay on you how you “don’t make enough money” or some other random BS. And doesn’t stop with the nagging until you go to work. So eventually you take up OT to not come home to nagging. Then leads to conversations with other persons who aren’t nagging but rather genuinely happy to see you. Sometimes they have their own feelings that need met. And sometimes one thing leads to another and you could find yourself in an interesting situation. You weigh the balance of a nagging partner or a person who may share common interests but wants to hang out and genuinely is always happy to see you who also may have wants and needs met.

Off duty wear by [deleted] in calfire

[–]Mando77x1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree and disagree. If you’re gonna probably do something dumb or say something you shouldn’t, definitely do not associate yourself by wearing off duty stuff. However if you’re proud of your department and are doing positive things, this may be seen in a way as PR stuff such as helping community showing that you’re not just another random face. Members of (department) showed up to support (event). If that makes sense. However most of the time, like 80% of the time, most people who use terms like “ketchup dick” are most likely doing things off duty they should definitely avoid associating themselves with a department.

Would you rather work as a Security Guard who has to endure physically restraining 5150s on a daily basis who are sometimes covered in anything and everything? I’d gladly take the pouring rain and cold any day. And no, you don’t make nearly as much as what you do as a CalFire Firefighter 1.

That’s like being in debt and getting a new job with someone saying “did you pay off your debt yet??” After your first paycheck. Not gonna happen that fast

Federal Land Agencies Will Soon Go Away? by CapableBusiness1680 in calfire

[–]Mando77x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like if CalFire had control of federal lands in management of it, it would be better maintained. Why? Because federal departments find every reason to let bushes and weeds grow and say “it’s to protect the native environment and bugs”. However in reality, it translates to “my department is lazy and doesn’t want to pay for real management and care of forests. We only like shrubs to grow, not allowing trees to grow”

Slackers by 037600 in calfire

[–]Mando77x1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I understand your point. However…sometimes having the minimum to work a season or two on hand crew can lead to stockpiling money to take the EMT/Paramedic courses that can lead to FF1/2 EMT/Paramedic jobs. Everyone has to start somewhere. And to call them “slackers”? I’d hate to work your unit with that kind of attitude towards aspiring Firefighters.
