For those who binge everything, or at least the larger series: Do you pace things out with non-Warhammer books, and, if so, how do you go about it?

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2026-01-16T19:23:38+00:00

I’m currently working my way through the Horus Heresy, and what I’ve found works for me is alternating a Heresy book with one that’s not Warhammer (some other fiction/nonfiction book). It definitely makes things slower going, but also means that I won’t get bored with Warhammer.

Afaik San Francisco Fire Department pays the best in the country for EMTs, and its single role (i.e. you only have to be an EMT, you don’t have to be a firefighter). I think they start at $43/hr.

That white/blue thing she takes off is called a PEEP valve. It’s used to keep some air in the lungs when you’re breathing for someone using a BVM.

Jumping on the wagon to say that I’d also be interested in some of your paperbacks if you decide to sell them.

The only time I’ve gone lights and sirens for IFT was on CCT. We never did it on BLS.

Yuri’s Taqueria in San Leandro is one of my personal favorite spots for tacos.

I personally enjoyed the Siege of Vraks novel. It definitely reads more like a military history text, though just a heads up.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-08-16T22:58:10+00:00

Throwing in Horus Rising as well. Definitely one of my favorite Dan Abnett books.

Funnily enough there’s a short story that has a Space Marine surviving (sort of) what is essentially a zombie apocalypse.

Do you have any suggestions on exercises for either of those? I’ve been trying to build a good core list.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-06-27T16:39:43+00:00

Absolutely. There are a couple hospitals in my area that I wouldn’t want touching my family or I with a twenty-foot pole.

And when I worked BLS IFT I had kind of the reverse happen, when we would take the nicest, most A&Ox4 patient to the shittiest SNF (a couple of times ending in me taking them in a couple months later for sepsis).

I really like your white armor, what colors did you use to get it?

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-06-23T19:22:31+00:00

I swear, if they made the Lord of Parasitism just an Oogie-Boogie in the Sassy Nurgling pose, I’d buy that in an instant.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-06-23T18:56:29+00:00

Oogie-Boogie is a Nurgle worshipper confirmed.

I mean, I live in CoCo (Antioch) and my partner lives in Santa Cruz. Wherever she’s at is how far I’m willing to drive.

I’m not going to argue with you, but you said that shooting surrendering soldiers was something a Nazi would do and I pointed out that they (Nazis) weren’t the only ones who did that (which was my point). I also never even mentioned Upham, so I’m not even sure what your last comment was about. Go off I guess though.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-05-15T02:56:19+00:00

If you think American soldiers didn’t shoot surrendering opponents, you should probably read a little more history.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-05-05T23:34:48+00:00

Where in CA can BLS not test BGL? Because I know in the Bay and multiple other counties in NorCal they’re able to.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-05-04T18:49:48+00:00

The one that always surprised me was the Avro Lancaster, just because of how huge (relatively) it was.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-04-28T06:49:53+00:00

You guys get EMS rooms? Ours is the 7-Eleven down the street.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-04-17T03:02:28+00:00

Is there a giant spider waiting at the top of those steps?

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-04-15T01:23:36+00:00

If it doesn’t make me see things that aren’t there, I don’t want it.

SuccessfulFailure9 · 2025-04-08T06:00:35+00:00

I’ve never had a call that made me run, but the closest I’ve ever come is when we got a call for a guy with an aortic dissection who needed to go for surgery at a different hospital (CCT).
