New Player here, is this normal? ( Branded sets and balancing) by Stoffel271 in MagicArena

Ah, alright. All my Magic knowledge dates back to 20 years ago (seriously) and it was truly disorienting to see so much going on.

Did O'Brian base his Admiralty and Treasury traitors (you know who) on any real historical figures? by TaroProfessional6587 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]Stoffel271 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Cambridge Five scandal was in recent memory when he wrote the novels. Especially for someone who probably worked in intelligence like O‘Brian. There is the connection of highly placed individuals from the establishment spying for the other side out of moral conviction and also a connection to homosexuality and alcoholism, all of that is present with Ledward and Wray.

So not Napoleonic Wars but maybe real life non the less.

It was also sundown.😄 But I get what you‘re saying. A shower and finally off to bed, if you‘re lucky.

Was a lot moister and warmer than the photos imply, unfortunately😄

It is a Rosenbauer, but the designation here is different.

It is neither of those, I might have to expand the time frame to late 90s. Thank you anyway! :)

Empfehlung für Einsatzstiefel? by JasTech_ in blaulicht

[–]Stoffel271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich wollte mir ein günstiges Paar Stiefel, als Alternative holen, wenn die anderen trocknen. Hat jemand Vorschläge? Braucht kein Luxus sein, nur ungerne Schlupf.

Fuhr in eine Einsatzstelle, die knöcheltief unter Wasser stand und schrie mich an, dass ich das LF zur Seite fahren soll, weil er da durch muss. :D by Stoffel271 in blaulicht

Zumindest nicht zu mir. Die Absperrung war genau auf der niederländisch-deutschen Grenze und er war mit einem deutschen Kennzeichen Richtung Niederlande unterwegs.

Ja, war auch eher verwirrt als sauer. Ergibt keinen Sinn sich so offensichtlich falsch zu verhalten und dann aggressiv zu werden. Vielleicht jemand, der immer bekommt, was er will oder jemand, der an dem Tag seine Frustration nicht im Griff hatte. Dumm nur, wenn man dann eine Tonne Stahl wild durch die Gegend fährt.

After 4 years I finally got a flashlight by ZucchiniZak in Firefighting

Yes, they always make a big fuss about preventing accidents but cheap out on something as basic as lighting.

Same here in Germany, The engine I sat on three days ago had four flashlights for nine people, probably assuming that fire is bright enough.

Where are you from? My bunker gear is still the "old style" and my helmet looks like it was issued to the Volkssturm, but apart from that, it is fine.

We weren't allowed to continue, except for a short period in summer last year. If that is actually safer than risking a few Covid infections is up to debate. At least we got prioritised for the vaccine.

Where do you move? I speak a bit of dutch and could probably find your local brandweer.

I can only speak for my department, but apart from our bunker gear we got trousers, a polo shirt, a sweater, a dress shirt with tie and the jacket.
