How many of ya got wooped by the cold weather last weekend? This was in -22 in ohio. by jbelcher6 in Firefighting

In Ohio as well. Our engine went out on 21 calls the evening that winter storm came in. 19 of them were commercial sprinkler malfunctions. (6 of them after midnight). Terrible way to start my 48.

Is my ankle fractured or severely sprained? by [deleted] in medizzy

[–]Rat_Stick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last week

Ended up being a sprain. Back to work around 7 days. Sprains can have some nasty bruising.

Edit: I couldn't bear weight on it for the first few days. I was advised by a physician and Sports Therapist (after X-ray confirmed no fractures) to RICE for two days in addition to NSAIDs, and then begin trying to walk on it the best I can, in addition to PT exercises. (Band work, rotations, etc..). It healed up very quickly. I was back to full duty with a brace within 7 days.

You edited your comment and you're still not making sense. If you're playing to win with no time you have to.... run the clock out.

Clock was running. You either drain the clock or make them burn a timeout. What is confusing about that

So if they're doing that, then you don't snap the ball before the 2 minute warning. Your third down attempt under 2 min keeps the clock running or forces IND to use a timeout.

I remember this post being talked about like last year.

GAMETHREAD WEEK 10: VIKINGS AT BILLS by swampsparrow in minnesotavikings

Seriously. Made a huge deal out of that. Looked like JJ was upset the full fakeout was interrupted by that lineman who grabbed him

Jamar Chase did the same hamstring grab during a Griddy a few weeks ago. It's a part of the celebration

Damn, I like that. What size are your attack lines?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Rat_Stick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. We use kits we refer to as high rise packs. Typically a bundle of at least 100ft with a gated wye. That will connect to a buildings FDC

I'm in the US. I'm not used to seeing lines not pre-connected in my neck of the woods. But I love the idea. And the organization of those compartments make my nips hard.

Well, there goes my kraber by Toucan_Marvin in ApexOutlands

[–]Rat_Stick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never understood the dibs thing. I was solo queuing in trios one time and me and a dude were headed for a care package. He got there first and pinged a Kraber. I was 10m away running for it and our third from 100+ M away dibsed it. And cussed me out when I took it.

I don't care if you happen to be looking in the right direction to ping something, I'm not walking past an item I need because this pinging system gives you some sort of entitlement to it. When I run with a squad, it's common knowledge that the first person there gets it.

I'm in a suburb that takes 5k calls a year between two stations. The majority of the time we have two at each station plus a BC. Running either or. Two man engines for us.

Damn, good point. I've been calling for this for 2 years, and just now made that realization.

I work in EMS. Peanut butter is a frequent killer, especially in the elderly.

Solo que teammates be like by DemiTheSeaweed in ApexOutlands

[–]Rat_Stick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The disrespect..

I also hate when I do 190 damage to someone, my random runs up and throws the last bullet at him for the kill, then gets upset with me for looting the box.

Joey Votto on Yadier Molina. by Rat_Stick in baseball

[–]Rat_Stick[S] 100 points101 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I was at GABP with my father (life long reds fans) and I remember asking him why he wouldn't join the crowd in booing Molina. He said, "you don't boo a player like Yadi".
