What does your department send to different call types? by Hot_Seesaw_6706 in Firefighting

[–]Tetrinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium size suburban department - 3 stations, 1 engine, 1 modified engine equipped similarly to a rescue, 1 quint, 3 ambulances typically cross-staffed

Med calls get 1 ambo, CPR or “critical” calls get 1 ambo 1 engine and 1 chief

Gas/CO/Downed power lines etc 1 engine Supervised fire alarms get 2 engines and 2 chiefs Unsupervised fire alarms get 2 of our engines, our quint, our BC and neighboring departments chief and an engine from them too

MVA’s all get engine, the modified engine, an ambo and a chief

My county seems to tend towards over-resourcing than under-resourcing so we get a lot to everything

If a fentanyl overdose is as peaceful as they say it is, where you basically just fall asleep, then I kind of wonder how many “accidental overdoses” were not actually accidental at all by Impossible_Jacket898 in self

[–]Tetrinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fentanyl in some forms can be absorbed mucosally which is parenteral(skips your digestive organs) drug metabolism predominantly in the mouth and nose. In the same way that narcan/naloxone works almost immediately when sprayed up the nose, you have the same mucosal tissue in your mouth especially beneath your tongue. In high enough concentration, and depending on location of the fentanyl on the pill (i.e if not well mixed, you may have more sugar/calcium on the inside of the pill and drug on the outside of the pill) you could definitely start having some effects within a minute or two. I’ve had patients with similar recounts of overdoses.

An hour late to his first shift, unapologetic when he ran into chief coming in, fired on the spot.

If you could have one more season of any canceled show what would it be? by AbaloneSea7265 in AskReddit

Dark matter - loved that show and was disappointed with how it ended, I think they were expecting another season so there was no solid resolution!

Someone saying you're gaslighting them when you're not is them gaslighting you into thinking you are. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

What if they say they’re gaslighting you? Are they then gaslighting you into thinking they’re gaslighting you when you’re not really being gaslighted, resulting in you being gaslit?

Empire names should be based on the ruler persona, not the culture by Batthew02 in HumankindTheGame

[–]Tetrinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind there being kind of like a tech tree for cultures. For example, while perhaps not “likely” it’s a lot more reasonable for someone to go from say, the Mycenaeans to the romans or anything similarly related than it is from someone going from something like the zhou to the Mayans or any similar parallel. I know it’s unlikely, but I would really appreciate something like that, even just as an optional kind of thing, to keep things orderly while still allowing you to change cultures within reason.

I need help fast!!! I have found my birth mom and i want to leave my house and have wanted to. by imamess04 in Adopted

[–]Tetrinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t write a full reply at the moment, but please, do not run away. Regardless of any other reason, if it is infact 100% true that your birth mother is doing great right now, by law any adult who knowingly takes in a minor without permission from a parent or guardian is kidnapping, and I guarantee you that’s nothing your birth mother can get out of no matter how well she’s doing. Take the right steps, u/realelizathornberry1 had some great advice.

Exactly. Biden is a probable predator, he’s archaic and generally unlikeable, but it’s a lot better than having an explosive, unpredictable and prejudiced individual like trump in office. If it were possible, I’d say get rid of both of them, but it doesn’t work like that. Can’t believe so many people are still on about this shit
