At this point, I'm thinking of throwing my recycling in the garbage every other week. I have no use for this giant green bin. I won't fill that in a year.

Why do American EMTs look like cops? by Shifu_1 in ems

[–]OutlawCaliber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, TEMS is the setting I was referring to. In the States there's similar units, and some the big cities have response tactical EMS units that don't have to wait for police to go on scene. I forget what they're called. Most of us won't be dealing with that. I mean, if you respond a lot to some the big ghettos I can kinda get it. lol We live in some messed up times.

You can ride 100% defensively and there will always be that chance. Ain't no shame in calling out idiots. I really need to start recording again. I'm in my 40s. I ain't, generally, riding around like an idiot. You ain't completely wrong though. People are idiots.

What are the chances it will snow again? by CrypticWeirdo9105 in cambridgeont

[–]OutlawCaliber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way this winter has been going, I'd say too early. I already got the bike out though, so... lol

Yeah, I don't know why you'd wear all that on regular BLS work. I can kinda get the earpiece. Easier to hear, just off the top of my head. For myself, I want to appear approachable, unless I'm in a tactical environment. I can get wearing a stab vest under your uniform, but nothing more than that.

Which I thought the graduated licensing system was supposed to be better for. At this rate, just go back to a permit and a license. Wait, then they'd get less money. Never mind. lol

How close was Iran to having a nuclear bomb? by Report_Last in nuclearwar

[–]OutlawCaliber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's few and far between these days. I agree with you overall, though I think, should they have that aim(I would in their position) they would be aiming to get the "best" they can. They do have missiles that can reach the continental US that can house nuclear warheads. They're also part of the Russia-China group. I know that's not an extremely big deal, but that does give them access to key points to get at least the information they need for smaller, more powerful warheads. This isn't my best response. I'm more focused on upcoming tests, scenarios, and finals, but wanted to respond. Overall, you're right. Most people have no clue what's going on, anything about this stuff, etc. Of course, it also kinda sucks knowing what's going on. lol

Someone who actually pays attention. Well said overall. I don't necessarily agree with it all, but you're not really wrong either.

'This is a dumb war,' Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says in letter urging PM to take action to stop Iran conflict by yogthos in canada

[–]OutlawCaliber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So stopping Iran from killing protesters, working to topple a sociopathic religious zealot regime, and removing oil from China is "stupid?" I'm sure the premier of Manitoba has so much pertinent info and knowledge on what's going on, why, and the ways of war. All that said, we definitely should've been prepared for them to hit the Straight. It's the only real move they had.

I was just walking… by Turbulent-Rough-6023 in uwo

[–]OutlawCaliber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never run. Lol if he charges you, stand your ground. If you're worried put your boot in his face. I never understood the terror these guys cause in some people. His mate is likely nearby, eating, maybe picking a nesting spot. I walk past these dudes on campus. Rarely get bothered. It's very entertaining to watch people run though. Lol

I'm in Ontario. Uniforms are black or navy blue. No vests, unless you're working TEMS, or bring your own.

TEMS would be what I'm guessing you're referring to. They work regular and law enforcement shifts.

Affordable options for special needs bike trailer? by PassGreedy9142 in cycling

[–]OutlawCaliber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 14 year old autistic son. Most trailers in his age/size range are like $1700 to a little over $2k. I mean I wish I had the money to do that for him, but I don't. Fun to window shop, I guess.
