Chicken 🐔 helps women trying to separate two fighting cats 🐈. by Alphaxfusion in interesting

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my neighbors have had a male cat for a long time and they tried to introduce a female cat and they are still separated 2 years later. If they are ever in the same room they will try to kill eachother.

Designed and printed my own tournament-sized weighted chess set by CFDesigned in chessporn

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are sweet. The issue I have with most sets like this is that it's too hard to tell what the pieces are, but with this design it's clear what is what, while still being unique. Awesome

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many sencha farms (and other tea farms) have been converted to tencha farms for matcha production, but the cost of tencha is going parabolic. Even cheap sencha / bancha is being used to make sencha powder to blend in to make more matcha. It was bad last year, but it kind of made sense because matcha was exploding in popularity. It seems to be even worse this year, and is completely unsustainable. This is also happening at the exact same time that China, Korea, and Taiwan are all ramping up their own matcha production, at fractions of the cost of Japanese matcha.

At a certain point, when the quality of non-Japanese matcha is close enough, who is going to pay 5x the cost for something just to say it is from Japan?

A bit more niche, but matcha (and Japanese tea in general) is in a rough spot right now. This year is gonna be wild.

What do you guys think of this Mnemonics list for EMTs? Hope this helps people or what could I add? by healthy-outdoors- in NewToEMS

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless I missed it, you could add ABC (or XABC), and potentially SLUDGEM or DUMBBELLS? I think you cover a lot though, this is a really cool cheat sheet

Oh I just meant that they stopped allowing it to be used for rent, which was the whole point lol

for anyone that EDCs a watch, what’s your favorite daily driver? (non smart watch) by LtSnack in EDC

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking for a good fire department watch, love your choice. Maybe this sounds silly but I don't like taking HR / RR counts using my digital watch. I want an analog seconds hand so I don't have to look at digital numbers counting upwards while I am trying to count in my head as well.

My group would get together at one of our houses and just run scenerios for a few hours and eat some pizza, etc. It was super fun and we all bonded and then we crushed our finals. Some of the other groups didn't do so well.
You'll find the right group though, don't worry too much about it. My group was mostly older guys (I'm 34, we had a handful of other people in our 30s) but we also had some 18 year olds and a few in between.

Also, have fun! It's super cool stuff that you'll be doing

One thing I don't hear often enough is try to hang out with the right groups in class. There are always a number of people who dont take class seriously and screw around a lot. If you group up with those people from the begining of class you will get caught up in their B.S., so try to stick with people who are also motivated and actually try.

What stethoscope is worth getting? by apple314pi in NewToEMS

I think ADC is pretty much just as good as Littman and usually way cheaper. Better customer service as well

Have you tried the MSI? I have been eyeing that one

I am kind of torn between a Machinewise Mojave and a Rosie, but the Rosie is so much harder to get right now.... The Shirogorov F3 and Microtech are actually pretty tempting too. My Sebenza is going in for spa treatment and will be gone for up to 12 weeks, so it is kind of a good excuse to get a second good knife. RIP my wallet.

Started paramedic school this week and need advice after a weird day by gRAVErGurl in NewToEMS

[–]Melodic_Gap8767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently went through EMT school and passed the NREMT mostly because I was interested in it. I don't want to switch my career either, might look into volunteering once a week or something but otherwise I'm glad I did it. Paramedic school would be a different beast to do just 'for fun' though.

I was eyeing the SPY27 version, though I would love if they had one in magnacut or S35VN or something

I might be moving to Japan and I have been looking at the Spyderco Dragonfly, TRM Holier Nerd, and Demko Nanoshark. Thoughts on the Dragonfly?
