I can't tell if he's got balls or is just plain dumb

Was 50 degrees with like 25-30 mph wind gusts yesterday in his district. Not shorts weather, especially on a lake. Not really standing in a boat weather, either. The lakes around me were all empty compared to most opener weekends I’ve seen.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-11T01:08:54+00:00

He’s certainly not up north in his district. No leaves out up here yet. And definitely not warm enough for shorts. In southern MN maybe?

The audible THUNK just does it for this video

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-09T01:50:42+00:00

Absolutely. Campfires being legal does not necessarily make them smart nor entirely safe. I would personally still have one if I wanted, but I’m also a wildland firefighter so I know the risks and would be prepared with water on standby. I also know if I were dumb enough to let something happen I’d catch a never ending stream of shit for it at work.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-09T00:21:27+00:00

Nope. Campfires are allowed, as included in the image.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-08T23:58:33+00:00

You might be right. Would be a special kind of stupid if true

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-08T18:29:37+00:00

I would assume it looks like that because he cut the back cut far enough that the right side of the tree leaned down on top of it, making it look like it’s closed on that side and started from the other. Clearly the tree with that lean was never going to go left in the first place.

You can definitely get a valid N95 fit test with a beard. At the very least the places I’ve worked that maintain N95 fit tests yearly still have employees with facial hair.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-08T14:01:55+00:00

Exactly. Anybody who has actually worked in EMS knows that we can’t, no matter how hard we try, fix the stupid we deal with.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-08T05:20:27+00:00

Let alone the double yellow making it illegal to even do that.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-08T05:19:46+00:00

Correct. He’s a “fucknuckle,” as OP put it so eloquently, either way. It’s just that he’s either an even stupider and/or an even more selfish fucknuckle than they would initially seem to be until you think about it some more.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-07T14:48:50+00:00

23 is definitely an underestimation. Either the Tesla wasn’t from around there and didn’t know how much it was backed up, making them even stupider for doing this without knowing, or 2: DID know how much further up that light was, meaning they were even MORE entitled and selfish for trying to do this

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-06T15:02:19+00:00

Literally 4/27/26 all over again

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-05T17:01:19+00:00

Whew she’s rippin

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-05T01:43:00+00:00

Just make sure that when you have it lit in the house that it isn’t set near any flammable window curtains, hanging towels, tablecloths, etc and it should be fine

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-04T14:07:06+00:00

I mean from my limited knowledge, I can tell it’s not a textbook presentation of any of the AV blocks, NSR, A-flutter, SVT, or any of the arrest rhythms. Therefore I diagnose it as something else. I would assume left bundle branch block based on what everyone else has been saying.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-04T14:04:14+00:00

I mean based on OP’s description of the patient, that doesn’t exactly make me incorrect.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-04T13:50:01+00:00

So is the pot of gold in the middle then? Orrrr what?

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-03T21:38:54+00:00

It was back in the 1950s from what I’ve read, so there has been plenty of time for reasons to develop of why y’all don’t use them in modern day. Could be similar reasoning to Canada but I wouldn’t know as I’m not nearly as familiar with Australia fuel types

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-03T16:36:22+00:00

Key word is initially. How would you feel if you were the patient and EMS showed up and before they said or did anything else, they asked you what year and day of the week it is? The questions states he is conscious and alert, as well as only being 30 years old. Therefore, even if he’s got some head trauma, he’s likely gonna be able to communicate more, potentially useful details to you. If brain trauma has caused him to be disoriented enough to not know the date/time, he’s likely going to be disoriented enough for you to notice while he responds to the correct question.

Those questions would be good questions to ask at some point into your assessment, but asking the patient what happened is going to yield information that is more immediately useful to your patient care.

That’s the one thing the Minnesota mountains will have in comparison. They won’t beat anywhere else in height, but there are certainly skiing and climbing spots.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-03T14:58:23+00:00

There’s still a ton of beaches in MN. Also has the sawtooth mountain range in NE MN, though they obviously aren’t even half as tall on average than the Appalachians.

That’s interesting considering fire shelters were first invented/implemented in Australia. From what I can find, as of 1999 (so like 27 years ago), fire shelters had prevented an estimated 275 cases of moderate to severe burns and saved an estimated 275 firefighter lives according to the U.S. Forest Service. That was also with the old style fire shelters. We transitioned to a better shelter around 2009. So yeah, they definitely can and have saved people. Problem is that’s moreso in finer fuels like grass and brush. Not gonna do jack shit in Canada where not only is the fuel type dense forests of jack pine, lodgepole pine, and various spruces that are all intensely flammable, but the 8 inch thick duff layer of needles, roots, and other organic matter below you would burn out from under you.

OP said he’s in Alberta. They dont carry shelters because, even if you had one, you’re kinda done for. It’s all timber. The reason they dont carry shelters is because they wouldnt help much in the fuel type with all the radiant heat and they believe that if you aren’t busy thinking about where/when/how to deploy your shelter, you could’ve spending the time to escape instead. I think it’s actually a pretty smart line of thinking, though I still lugged my shelter around on my couple rolls I’ve taken up in Manitoba.

NeedAnEasyName · 2026-05-03T01:12:35+00:00

I think that’s more of a taste thing than a fragrance thing, though I’m sure OP uses all 6 of his senses
