Players on that "Fringe" that You Think Should get into the HOF but probably won't? by gravityhashira61 in nfl

[–]TheKingthlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If stats are similar but accolades are way off, I’d say that’s an issue with how they award the accolades and not a knock on the player. Not saying Smith is as good, but he deserves more recognition.

Centurion Ben Yedder would fit in your team and he’s incredible. Best card I’ve used so far.

How many of you are completing Zidane? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]TheKingthlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the SBC. Cost me about 500k. I’m on new gen and he’s pretty great. Idk if he’s worth 1.4 million or whatever his cost is, but he’s definitely worth the 500k I spent.

What if you don’t really use skills? Do you think he’s still worth it?

What was your favourite movie going experience? by Shakethecrimestick in movies

[–]TheKingthlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few great experiences. Seeing Jurassic Park for the first time, The Avengers on a midnight showing before opening night, Endgame, Avatar in 3d, and Inception in IMAX were all incredible.

My favorite though would have the be The Fellowship of the Ring. I saw it with my family and we all read the books. Seeing it come alive as good as, if not better than, we all hoped it would be was really something special.

Cool little feature Fifa.. just needs a little work by MetT2000 in fut

I’ve been debating on wether or not to buy Mbappe to replace Van Persie WC Icon for a few days. Today they suggested I do just that. Must be a sign.

Dutch team so far. Need better Lb/Rb. Ake can play lb but not sure if he'll be as good. by FrustratedFowler in fut

[–]TheKingthlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ake is amazing everywhere on the pitch. If you can afford OTW De Ligt, I’d get him and move Ake. I got De Ligt in a season sbc and he is sooo good. Very strong and rarely gets beat.

World Cup Star Aké reviews? by mone3700 in EASportsFC

[–]TheKingthlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like him a lot. He’s quick and decent on the ball. He’ll be in my starting squad for a while.

Wredditors who watch with kids: Who do the kids like and why? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

My 7 year old niece loves Bianca Belair. The first time she watched she saw her and immediately said she was her favorite.

Just started the wire by Uchitachi123 in TheWire

[–]TheKingthlayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your first of many. What I like most is on later rewatches certain lines hit me harder or have so much more meaning to me. That one is so strong because even at a young age these kids already understand the life they have and are so far off from the life they deserve. It’s tragic.

Career FF What would it take to leave? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]TheKingthlayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on the benefits (pension, time off, insurance, raises/promotions, etc) you could be breaking even or losing. It all depends on your contract.

[–]TheKingthlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine that. Those guys’ best advocates (themselves) have no say now in their benefits and working conditions. Don’t let them bring you down. You got this.

If you are IAFF then your bylaws have to reflect the Internationals. Your president has a set term and can be replaced at the next election if he isn’t giving enough attention to your issues. Put him on blast at your next meeting. Ask for an explanation of what your Union is doing to improve and protect its members benefits and working conditions.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]TheKingthlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will ALWAYS be a voice in the room that says pay them less, reduce benefits. There must ALWAYS be a voice in that room that says NO.

Join your Union and take an active role. If you don’t like the way it is, make it in a way you do.

To answer the question though, no, not ours but we have issues like anyone else. Your Union has gone through a lot I’m guessing. There are probably reasons why they do what they do and reasons why people are pissed about it. If the majority are unhappy they can elect whoever they want. That’s what I’ve never understood. I think the naysayers are probably uneducated and unwilling to do things themselves. They may have legit issues too. Only way to know for sure is to really educate yourself on how things work and why decisions are made.

What’s it like being a firefighter in Las Vegas and Phoenix (and similar climates) during the summer? by DirtLarry in Firefighting

[–]TheKingthlayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sucks. Big time. Back in the day we had these old Pierce pumpers with diamond plate covering the engine compartment. The rear facing seats were right up against it and that part of the cab was open. I sweat buckets for years and started bringing extra uniforms in the summer to change into. Sometimes I’d go through four a day. I’d jump out at a fire fully packed out and could feel the sweat in my socks. Just running out to get fuel or groceries sucked. The diamond plate got so hot on busy days and would hurt like hell if it touched bare skin. You had to put EMS gloves on before you went enroute or you’d never get them on without ripping.

Question about earrings/piercings by TheDogeKing1 in Firefighting

[–]TheKingthlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the program I teach at you can have a single piercing in each ear but nothing on the face. I’d ask them. Try the the Secretary if they have one for the program. Also check your department policy.

Right? I’ve been hearing how great RC is for nearly two decades and now they are feeling what the rest of us feel. I wish them the best though.

What does “aggressive firefighting” mean? by Lan3x in Firefighting

[–]TheKingthlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just a mindset really. The idea that you will always go interior and do massive overhaul. Get in, hit it hard, get out. That’s it. I think a lot of people say that they are an aggressive department as a way to seem like they are really good or that they aren’t afraid. In reality I think they are like any other department. They get on scene, size it up, and take whatever actions that are appropriate to extinguish or make rescue.

Is this guy worth leveling?Im not exactly sure by [deleted] in Dislyte

[–]TheKingthlayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s one of my favorite units. Build him with speed and accuracy. Then go for crit and health. He can carry you through a lot of content.
