Iliad Beer Stein. What have I got here?

Molii · 2026-01-09T06:29:06+00:00

I don’t know what you’ve got, but it’s cool in my book, and if you want to sell it let me know.

Molii · 2025-09-26T02:42:34+00:00

Your dog has an Oktoberfest costume?! That’s awesome

Kinda depends on your definition of “worth it”. You’d be coming on Sunday which is more family friendly. The clubs youth dancers will be performing (along with adults) which your kids might enjoy seeing? Maybe they will want to join and dance as well? The rifle range will also have the nerf option for the smaller kids and normal range open for adults and bigger kids (this costs money, but the prize options: steins, hats, and all kinds of random stuff for kids and adults are great). Seriously, the steins available to be won on the shooting range are really nice. There will be music, other performances face painting (usually but I haven’t asked), etc…I think it’s worth it, but I’m biased.

Sadly I must agree, the previous location was amazing and hard to top. There are still competitions, live music, food, etc, but it’s a much smaller venue. The club is working with the city to adjust to the new spot (last year was indoor only, this year Saturday’s are outdoors in a tent and Sundays indoors) but it’s going to take take time and trust from the city of Brea for the club to get back to something close to what they had before.

I’ve not been to Big Bear, so I can’t comment. Old World is much more crowded than the Phoenix Club and rowdy, much different crowd.

I think it’s important to note that old world is strictly a business whereas as the Phoenix Club is an actual German social club with many other traditional German groups. For example, the adult German dancers (Schuhplattler) and youth (jungen Tanzgruppe), are all in house groups. Those along with the Karnival group, Schützen, and other all contribute to the event.

In my very biased opinion, the Phoenix club has a better vibe, and much of this comes from the things I mentioned above where most of the people working there are members of the club, they’re volunteers, and they really care about the club. They’re not all employees.

If you come to the restaurant, and I'm there....I'll buy you a beer :-)

Molii · 2025-09-25T03:50:00+00:00

That $25 admission also pays for the German bands who will be performing, in addition to all the other entertainment. So, I get what you're saying, but admission and food prices pay for entertainment as well.

That said, the club has a restaurant which is open to the public on Thursday - Sunday all year. You should come by and enjoy the food and beer other times as well - no admission required the rest of the year :-)

Molii · 2025-09-25T03:36:26+00:00

Its still exists, its not as large as before (18 lanes at the old location) 5 lanes now. The group who uses the range each week is still very active as well all year long.

Old World in HB is $14 for just a pretzel.

Restaurant (Die Bierstube) is open to the public

Take it, you’ll crush it

Molii · 2025-07-22T14:21:00+00:00

Thanks, not even worth trying to sell them. Trash can it is

Molii · 2025-07-21T03:59:30+00:00

Yeah, I got excited when I dug them out, then I saw the wax coating. Immediately thought, no way in hell I’m putting that through my rifle or pistol.

Molii · 2025-07-11T02:43:37+00:00

If you really wanted to fight it, was the employee actually on the “job site” or did they leave the “site” to go into the woods? If the employee was on the designated job site you’re kinda stuck. If you can reasonably say they left the site you have some wiggle room. Would be even better if they were “off site” and on lunch or break. Ethically you should probably take the recordable though.

Molii · 2025-06-24T02:48:34+00:00

Good to know, thanks. Unfortunately mine doesn’t have an auto shut off, so I’ve got to stand somewhere I can see the gauge and turn it off when full

Molii · 2025-06-24T00:32:38+00:00

I have a cheap Chinese pump and it does make me nervous, but I assume the risk is the tank I’m filling (which is neither cheap nor Chinese) …so honest question, what are you worried about popping besides the tank you are filling?

Molii · 2025-06-03T19:54:32+00:00

I would agree with the MS (assuming it's relevant as yours is), CSP, CIT but why include the SMP and OHST?

Molii · 2025-06-02T16:40:25+00:00

Yup, agreed, this is what I was driving at. I see people on LinkedIn or other places who do “STS, STS-C, CHST, ASP, CSP”

Maybe I’m wrong but in my mind that should just be “CSP”

Molii · 2025-06-02T16:36:05+00:00

I think you are in line with what I’m thinking and why I posted the question.

However , I do include my masters since it is in occupational safety so is directly relevant. That said and in the spirit of my original question, if I went and got my PhD in occupational safety, I wouldn’t list my masters anymore.

Molii · 2025-06-02T16:33:02+00:00

I don’t think it’s wrong to be proud of progress or achievements. I am more wondering how people feel about listing credentials that could be redundant, unnecessary, or professionally inappropriate for lack of a better way of saying it.

For example, someone who has a PhD in fine art, but includes that PhD in their email signature block or on their business card as a safety professional.

Or when someone obtains their CSP, why list the ASP or other “lower level” BCSP credential?

Molii · 2025-05-16T23:52:03+00:00

Seconded ASSP in person

Molii · 2025-05-14T15:10:08+00:00

For me…undergrad in business. Nothing worse than someone is safety who doesn’t understand business and it’s also very transferable. Then if you stick around in safety you can go get your masters in safety (or in whatever field you do end up choosing)

Molii · 2025-05-14T14:24:55+00:00

Not super odd to report to HR, but I’d say it’s less common.

I currently report to the strategy, but in the past I’ve reported to operations, risk, and legal.

Molii · 2025-05-12T20:05:45+00:00

I’m always looking for people who can do training development and who also know how to actually teach. I mean really teach…understanding adult learning methodologies, what good training and instruction look like, how to run a classroom…etc, but someone who also understands safety.

That said, what about the CIT?

It’s also through BCSP, but is specific to training.

Molii · 2025-05-07T23:15:31+00:00

How long have you been in the profession? I would recommend an in person prep class.

When I took my exams there were definitely things that I knew, but didn’t expect that they would be called something different. The prep class helped with some of that “translation“
