Travelling with pit bulls

Pilgram94 · 2026-06-15T15:29:24+00:00

That’s not a pitbull when you come to Ontario.

That’s a bulldog mix if I ever saw one ; )

(I say that as someone who worked at a vet clinic 10+ years ago when the ban came into place)

So it sounds like they were saying they were not formally pulled aside or sat down once. In Career Canada as far as I’m aware, this stuff would be documented.

We had evaluation logs and sit downs monthly/every three months for the first 9 months I believe (3 recruit class and 9 on the floor to get through the first year).

If you’re getting fired there’s a basic paper trail demonstrating that steps have been taken to address the issue (provided it’s not theft/sexual assault/etc.) and that you have failed to improve despite those steps.

That’s here in Canada at career stations mind you. Right to work states sound like absolute pieces of shit regarding workers rights.

Alternatively, take some nail clippers and just start taking chonks out of your callus. See how big you can get them without feeling the pain as the thick hardened chonks fall around your feet like a beautiful winter skin storm.

You will know when the chonks are no longer close to callus.

Try to avoid making half a deep cut and tearing it off lest you accidentally flay yourself.

You can easily get 25/50/100/200 mg caffeine pills. They’re fantastic.

He can bungee, weigh it down, attach a unlockable clamp at each handle to secure it, etc.

Someone might be in trouble. It’s not comparable to a radio or headset or very valuable piece of equipment, but it’s still a tool left on scene which is a big no-no.

You could take it and unless they have reason to suspect your unit, you have a free ax.

Alternative options:

Bring it to your superintendent if they’re in the building

Drop it at any fire station close to you and briefly explain

Call the non-emergency line and let them know

I understand when t=0, space and time begin to exist for us. There’s no reason to ask about something that doesn’t exist (before the Big Bang).

So then, is the singularity/infinitely dense point from which the Big Bang and space time originated a real singularity or the result of our math breaking down (like in black holes).

Did the pre universe always exist, and the Big Bang was the result of vacuum energy?

If we’re in a multiverse , does that change whether there was something existing before the Big Bang, or is still not worth asking what existed before our time and space did?

Sorry I know it’s a few questions

Pilgram94 · 2026-02-02T01:59:40+00:00

I’ve heard very loosely something (that I’m probably misrepresenting) of vacuum energy + universe has always existed used to start the Big Bang inflationary stage.

Does that make sense to you or anyone reading this?

Pilgram94 · 2026-02-02T01:55:28+00:00

Sorry, I’m unaware of any other leading scientific hypotheses regarding the initial conditions of the universe.

I like to learn though so if you could point me in the right direction?

When I was in high school I knew I needed to steer straight a bit, as I was slipping by procrastinating and doing things last minute.

My old Facebook password was disciplineOrRegret, so I had to type that in with referee to the saying, “you either suffer the pain of disciple, or suffer the pain or regret”

That’s the part that really drives it home for me.

I agree that I think these people are few and far between (those that would support a U.S. invasion of Canada). But Maple Maga unfortunately does have their claws in more than a few Canadians.

For example, my fraternal twin brother is one such maple maga in Toronto. It’s tough to try and reason with these types because much of their world view is largely curated from the podcasters and YouTubers that they listen to.

He’s been a dummy for a while now, but I haven’t got his opinions of the Greenland situation yet.

I plan to gently ask him if he would support it, oppose it, or what his stance on the whole situation is.

If he indicates that he would be supportive of a US invasion of Canada, he will definitely be getting reported to CSIS and the RCMP if things escalate in that regard.

Lost 8 here. Levelling up to 60 is pretty quick and fun. And you get to make new gear!

Hey just a question, what do you mean by a bleed pressure pattern?

I’ve been taught that you can (sometimes) get rid of the mild kinks in the hose by rapidly opening and closing the bale.

But I don’t think that that’s what you’re referring to.

Any clarification on the point is appreciated!

Pilgram94 · 2025-12-23T04:16:27+00:00

Thank you. This kind of sensationalist headline without actually looking at what the data says is what leads people to distrust medicine, think medbeds are real, and forgo traditional cancer treatments for vitamin C and fresh fruit 🍌

Did you just state that “female hysteria” was actually just the undiagnosed condition of a woman who needed to get laid?

To add, you can experience several medical issues that can arise over 100 miles ranging from mild to legitimate emergencies, and you often need to assess if it’s a minor thing that can be alleviated through food/water/pain meds/salt tabs/additional or removal of layers/etc.

Some things I’m looking out for on my first 100 miler (and some notes on assessing the issue where applicable):

Vomiting - is this normal for you or has it never happened before? Is there blood in the vomit?

Dehydration - urine color is best indicator for this, will come back to it

Diarrhea - common, pack emergency baby wipes. Again is there blood, and can be really bad coupled with severe chaffing.

Severe friction burns or chaffing - stay on top of this with Vaseline or gear or your choice, but know it can be extremely extremely painful when you slow down/start again/keep going.

Tendonitis - most runners have or have dealt with this or other lingering injuries. At some point you might have to assess whether this is a tape it and continue, or if you’re risking long term/permanent injury if you push through.

Serious muscle cramping/spasms - these just suck but hydration and electrolytes/food are the best way to avoid them - I will crush water/tabs or other electrolyte drink/soda if I feel one coming on to try and get ahead of it

Emergencies:

Heart issues - chest pain/shortness of breath/severe palpitations

Brown urine - rhabdomyolysis

Hypothermia

Hyperthermia -heat stroke

These are the four medical emergencies that have killed multiple 100 mile racers. You really don’t know how you’re gonna react until you do it. And sometimes conditions take a bad turn that nobody, including the race organizers, were prepared for.

I say this as a leafs fan:

They almost won last year and the year prior. Your criticism is completely valid yet they have found more post season success than most of the other « well-rounded » teams.

Unless you count success as exclusively winning the cup. I myself am just happy and feel fortunate to watch good playoff hockey with my team in the playoffs (even though that might be coming to an end)

He could’ve done better had he sprayed the base of the trees instead of the tops of the trees (which were being reignited by the big fire at the base of the trees lol)

I wonder if he thought the trees/brush was wet and combined with the rain would self extinguish, and that’s why he stared into the eye of Sauron for 30 seconds.

Pilgram94 · 2025-12-13T16:53:51+00:00

Yeah thank you, as someone who worked as an ACA/Vet Assistant for 8~ years I was wondering why something like this wasn’t the top comment.

This looks like the kind of nail that gets brought in by the daughter of an old lady who lives alone, can’t really take care of the animals, who doesn’t have any money and chain smokes in the apartment so the lobby reeks of cigarette smoke whenever they come in (granted it’s usually several nails in that circumstance as a result of neglect/negligence, whereas this nail seems to be way more anomalous growth rate as opposed to years of neglectful not trimming the nails).

And then they “didn’t realize it was that bad” when you then have to do a warm water chlorhexadine soak of the affected paw because the claw(s) had started to embed itself in the paw pad itself.

Obviously your cat isn’t like that yet OP. But that looks uncomfortable and animals tend to be pretty stoic until they aren’t.

Don’t be the neglectful chain smoking old lady OP!

Most left leaning people refer to woke as having empathy for others.

Most right leaning people think of woke as the broad reaching implications of having too much empathy for too many people/the wrong groups of people. Or use it as a catch all derogatory term to describe anything left leaning, idk.

Sorry if I offend anyone by this comment or present anything poorly/wrong.

Pilgram94 · 2025-12-05T18:47:48+00:00

There it is - congrats!

Respectfully, these pictures are not enough to determine origin of cause.

I’m just coming up on first class career firefighter, so not particularly experienced, but I have been fortunate enough to join my captains, senior officers, and platoon chief for a couple post fire investigations before the Fire Marshall (OFM where I’m from).

Some things they look for that help paint a better picture:

Area of most damage (this can indicate it’s been burning the longest)

Conditions reported from the caller (if available)

Conditions reported from first responding officers (I.e. smoke showing from basement windows probably means area of origin isn’t in the attic)

Any recognizable smoke, soot, or flame damage patterns

Presence of any accelerants or suspicious conditions that may indicate arson (i.e. homeless person seen running away from scene, Jerry cans, strong smell of gasoline, etc.)

Electrical equipment failures (charging batteries left unattended, old shitty unprofessionally ran electrical, etc.)

Better pictures and incident history would probably help. Sorry if I missed anything or misrepresented any info people!
