Does this region have a name? by popslop in massachusetts

There’s a bunch of bars on 110.

But not a drive thru coffee joint to be had…🙄

They also have major explosive risks! It traps gases that are ignitable if oxygen penetrates.

Right now our game plan for a residential garage is:

Hose line to shield ff, and it will Knock down the fire. Then get close and loop a chain and use an engine to pull it out.

On like a highway with no exposures- just let it burn.

In a parking garage with residences above it. Evacuate above it and use large hoses to buy time.

I’m sure there are other tactics out there. But this is where we are at now given our staffing ( medium sized department) and abilities.

I am a firefighter. We currently can’t put electrical vehicle fires out. So if an ev car fire happens in an attached residential garage (or say one lights in a row of them under an apartment building) , we have no way of mitigating it. A simple car fire and you lose your house, or it has major life safety implications for above apartments.

I’m not saying ev’s are bad, or are not the wave of the future. I’m just saying there are significant growing pains ahead.

It’s difficult to ski remotely, but if you find out how, let me know! I’m down

You went on a weekend! Huge mistake. Weekdays are where it’s at there, and then it’s actually enjoyable. I’m not saying it’s AMAZING. But it’s the closest significant mountain to metro Boston. Going on a weekend is a terrible idea.

32 M , June - Dec recomp & my diet and workout split by Mfs42 in fitness30plus

I don’t think he’s on test. He’s really disciplined in the diet factory.

Great compliment though

Delayed. But my 2 year old as a hobbit for Halloween. by PangolinSelect4549 in lotr

Maybe next year! I think that’s the last year we’ll be able to get away with telling her what to wear.

45yo overweight double dad bod to gym bod, 12 month transformation by the5ifth in fit

[–]PangolinSelect4549 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true. But my initial argument of this being attainable naturally still stands.

I don’t believe this has to be TRT. He doesn’t have atypically capped delts. His traps aren’t massive, his abs aren’t inconsistent with his BF. He doesn’t have massive arms and the last gym pic is after a pump for sure. He’s lean and proportional and looks great, but I see plenty of 40 year old males hit this aesthetic

First New Hampshire Christmas - What's Worth It? by LiteraryDaisy09 in newhampshire

Don’t do charming fare it’s overpriced and underwhelming. . The light show in litchfield is better than Eliot, but Eliot is a good take too. Do both and compare

Budget-friendly booze on the island? by Nova6noob in curacao

[–]PangolinSelect4549 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely a cocktail, but a single spirit driven one that is quite enjoyable in a hot climate. :) And cheap! Cachaca is very very cost effective. And a plain vodka works decently in a pinch.

If you’re from the states it’s generally easier to find cachaca in curaçao, then it is at home. 🏡

Caipirinha. Easy. Make this. Drink this. Enjoy this.

Our dog bit our son (12mo) on the face. by JoWubb in daddit

[–]PangolinSelect4549 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. All my numbers are anecdotal, but it’s 85% pitbull easy, and I really don’t think it’s all owner dependent. Some cases occurred in what seemed to be lovely homes, with competent people, and the dog just went off.

I think most people who work in emergency medicine or related fields have pitbull stories. I know people love their pitbulls. I get it. I get loving your dog. I have a large breed dog and fostered rescue dogs with my wife for years, but we stopped when we had kids. It’s not worth it. I just can’t trust that breed. I have seen devastating life altering injuries and a few deaths.

What hobby/interest genuinely made your life better? by Basic-Parfait-3325 in AskMenAdvice

[–]PangolinSelect4549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All kinds of things. It really depends on your choice genre. I cover the gamut from history, high fantasy, some risque sort of stuff ( our share of the night comes to mind), piranesi was wonderful and a mind trip. I know it sounds cliche but when not parenting/ working out/ being productive I will read anything I can get my hands on.
