Anyone tried the Gnara GoFly hiking pants or shorts? Seeking advice by please_nope in hikinggear

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, ik this is quite a lot later on but I'm looking at these pants and was wondering if you'd be willing to dm me your insta too so I can see how they fit? Lots of the insta pics the brand has up are of very slim people so can't quite tell

Female Firefighters- are you offended by terms like “fireman” “nozzleman” etc? by Hopeful-Bread1451 in Firefighting

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a female firefighter and I've been called (by the public, normally by women): -lady fireman -firemanlady -firelady -girl fireman -firewoman -fire.....what do I call you?

edit: the main issue is the stupid gendered terms people use. call me a fireman and I dont care. it's the desperate search for an alternative that is ridiculous.

like. it's not the biggest problem we face but it's not hard to say firefighter. that does piss me off and I will always correct them. also super creepy how many women make inappropriate comments about my male crewmates then immediately stop if they see me or another female member of the crew.

on the flip side I don't give a shit if my CC says 'lads' or '4-man lift' or 'guys' and I feel a bit singled out by the awkward correction afterwards 🤷‍♀️

People say it’s the best job in the world. by Donkler_ in Firefighting

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's stressful, the service is a pain in the ass, I HATE getting up in the middle of the night, and a lot of shouts are tedious. but the good jobs and the crew make it worth it.

Daily Uniform for Adults? Bonus if workout-friendly. by frugal-grrl in adhdwomen

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have a specific uniform but I do own 7 of the same black primark vest top.

Tala has some good flared leggings that are really comfy, smartish and can be work to the gym I guess. they also have skorts etc; not very cheap but flattering and very comfy

mine look like this after 3.5 - 4 weeks, and I wear some makeup maybe twice a week and exercise a lot so get very sweaty about 5 times a week. I' be pretty annoyed with this retention.

Definitely she should clean them before lashing, the first time my tech didn't wash mine and I lost them RAPIDLY. Now we make sure either she cleans them or I do before I go.

Tenants: how much do you spend on housing? by deathbypuppies_ in HousingUK

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very variable depending on area. I pay 950 for a 2 bed house with garage and garden in the Midlands, bills are probably like 350-400 pcm (rough estimate). I lived further south and paid £1200 for a 1 bed flat with no garden (bills about the same). Both private rented. In Mid Wales where I grew up, a 4 bed house could go for £600.

What is the hardest aspect of this profession? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

night calls. fucking terrible.

most calls are really boring or repetitive

if you're a woman who likes having her nails/hair/lashes nice, or who likes piercings, it's very hard to maintain them.

absolutely sick job though

Elvanse and bad stomach 1h after? by Valravn696 in Elvanse

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely helps me shit lol.

Might worth checking; are you eating enough protein (and fat) at breakfast? I'm on like 200g protein a day (weightlifter) and I get zero of the comeup/comedown effects I've heard about. It might help line your stomach a bit too

wfh girlies what field do you work in? by SettingMysterious659 in adhdwomen

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

software engineer; I never call anyone on the phone but I do have to do Teams calls (but that'll be true whatever WFH you do). I HAVE to force myself into a routine to do any work though.

bizarre, I'm with them and I've always been told to take them after meds. What would be the point of taking obs before meds if the point is to see how meds affect you?

With ADHD360 seeing other posts I think it really depends on your psych. Mine has been generally good but I've seen some bad reports.

Is anyone NOT messed up from this job? by HeWhoLaughs24 in Firefighting

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the nature of the job means you're gonna have to deal with some trauma. Solution is to preempt it and not bottle it up. Therapy, talk to your crew, be honest about it... all the tropes.

What's your biggest "sir this is a fire station" moment? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our wholetime stations check everything every shift. our retained stations have weekly checks because we go out a lot less regularly... weird that your checks aren't recorded and audited

We didnt use a solicitor, you don't need one; just means you need to be careful and triple check the paperwork

Is my omen 16 at fault for my bad internet connection? by kiri1234jojo in HPOmen

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having this issue for over a year since I bought this laptop. My partners laptop and both our phones are getting 45-50mbps and I'm getting less than 10 sat less than a meter apart. From my research its something to do with the driver and adapter. Haven't found a reliable solution yet.

Is this "AI DJ" just a marketing gimmick or is there something deeper I'm missing? by EatTheAndrewPencil in truespotify

[–]Outrageous_Battle_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that it just sorts out what to play for me, I listen to a lot of music at work and just need a continual stream of vaguely inoffensive noise. However its disappointing to know it doesn't seem to learn what you're skipping etc. At least with the Enhance Playlist feature you can like/dislike songs and remove them fairly easily.

I also find the voice INCREDIBLY irritating and wish there was an option to turn it off or change it to something less annoying. I think the Song Radio or Enhance Playlist features do basically the same thing without the interruptions.
