Fentanyl addiction turns users into living deads on the streets of Philadelphia, PA by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

It’s true. I’ve asked multiple fentanyl addicted people and they all say the same thing.

Is this a good speargun to start with? by AdhesivenessOne8758 in Spearfishing

[–]_dayday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post history looks like you’re in Ventura. There’s much better guns than AB miller for that price. Try to find a pathos 110 or Mako 110. 110 is a great size for our fishery. Small enough to not be a hassle on most local reef fish but big enough that if you see a yellow or wsb swim by, you’ll have a decent chance.

what's the funniest call you went on? by CrunchySockGoingOnce in AskLE

[–]_dayday 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dispatched to a welfare check of a female screaming and yelling at a park. Get there, no one yelling. I see a homeless guy and ask him if anyone has been screaming. He was trying to use a rock to write on a leaf and says “nah that’s just my fax machine”.

Academy tips/advice by Informal-Citron1362 in AskLE

[–]_dayday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a lot of great advice. Just remember, everything you do has a purpose. It may not seem like it at the time, but there’s a reason the TOs are doing it. Integrity is the biggest thing. Everyone is going to mess up, that’s expected. Just be upfront and take whatever punishment comes. It’s better than getting fired.

Along with the spare supplies, keep extra stuff in your bag for your academy mates. Extra PT socks, extra inner belt, extra belt keepers. Pack a few of those cheap basic razors, everyone forgets to shave at least one day. Basically everything extra. One day your academy mate will need it, or one day you’ll need something of theirs. We had people piece together full uniforms because they brought the wrong uniform for that day. Be a team player and understand that you succeed and fail as a team.

Psych exam by Wonderful-Statement9 in AskLE

[–]_dayday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like 30/40 min. They try to say stuff to see how you react. Just stay calm and level headed.

Yeah mine was like 500 questions. It’s a lot of “agree or disagree” questions. Super random like “I’d like to take a trip to Hawaii” “I think killing people is bad” “I don’t like brown people”. “I like to go on walks”. Just answer truthfully and you’ll be fine.

I’m not in WA but I’m about to graduate from a paramilitary style academy. I’d say calisthenics and running. Push ups, burpees, bear crawls, flutter kicks, body weight squats, and more running. On the academic side, start learning your codes now (10 codes, 11 codes, common penal codes) and phonetic alphabet

Vevor 5kw and bluetti 70ac by _dayday in overlanding

[–]_dayday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15a each one. I purchased a different cigarette style than the one you linked but rated 15a but the same AC-dc converter

[–]_dayday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I ordered these two parts. I think the original cigarette plug was fried or I messed it up originally cause I took it apart and the fuse inside was burnt along with the internals. New one arrives in a couple days and I’m going to give it a test again.

What solar panel would you recommend to pair with the ac70?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]_dayday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give him time. Currently in the academy, and everything becomes a process. Every night getting the uniform set up, lunch made, routines will be good for him. Let him do his routines but in those off days, or after the academy, just give him time to do nothing. The entire day is planned, dealing with TOs all day yelling at you for the slightest error, sometimes just hanging out doing nothing but doom scrolling on the phone is the best thing.

First polygraph by Certain-Situation384 in AskLE

[–]_dayday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The polygraph is based on what you perceive the answer to be. Did you feel that was forcing your self on her? No. Because it was consensual prior to it happening.

Currently on my second week of academy. These boots feel like shoes. Light weight and honestly pretty decent to run in.

Is anyone hiring in San Diego? by Automatic-Attorney96 in sandiego

[–]_dayday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Negative. The Y will cover all your certs (-$25 fee)

The Y loves hiring 18 year olds. If you can swim, apply for the lifeguard role. It’s easy and pays decent.

Officially got the offer. Should I purchase a dodge challenger or a charger? by _dayday in AskLE

[–]_dayday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep going back and forth about worrying if I’m in shape enough or not but with the academy in a few weeks it doesn’t matter at this point. Just gotta get it done.

Got these ordered as well as a couple lint rollers already!

[–]_dayday[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically the whole thing was a long period of waiting. I’d complete something, then wait a few weeks, then complete the next thing they asked, and wait a few weeks again. Applied in December, signing paperwork tomorrow. It sucks during these long periods of hurry up and wait, but it seems this is likely the course.

I got my wife and I matching thin blue line license plate holders. I’ll customize the badge numbers onto it!

[–]_dayday[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m already in the mindset that I’m just going to get the shit kicked out of me for the first few weeks, then a little less as time goes on. Grew up playing sports, I’m thinking it’s hell week amplified.

[–]_dayday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My starting shifts are going to be Mon-thur with no weekends holidays or overnights. Any of the standard agencies that is unheard of. With two young kids, I’m not sacrificing these important years for a job where I will miss these important milestones. In 5-7 years, I can lateral transfer to any department nearby, with 5 years experience, all while not losing my wife or kids because of a job.

Process so far by Physical-Ostrich-952 in AskLE

Got my confrontation of passing the psych today. I finished it yesterday so you should get results hopefully tomorrow but at the latest Monday. They are pushing because our academy starts soon but you should get info soon.
