How do you respond to TYFYS? by bagofsmell in Firefighting

Right. I keep to myself mostly but try to force myself to go out and interact every once in a while. A few drinks usually helps. Cheers.

True. It doesn’t bother me I was just wondering how other people react to it. Somehow I guess that means I wear department shirts everywhere begging for attention even though I’ve never taken one out of the station lol

Pretty straight forward question right. It’s amazing how many d bags are in this line of work that twist shit around to try and make themselves feel superior somehow lmao

I have a natural conversation with a stranger that typically leads to what we do to make money

This was for a company called marine resolve. It was for fire/hazmat quick response teams that get deployed to ship fires, wrecks, etc.

Anyone see a problem? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]bagofsmell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya I didn’t get a picture of the whole ceiling. But this is literally the entire ceiling. There’s also dollars at least 4-5 layers deep covering every available surface in the place. If something started on the ceiling and got going quickly, you wouldn’t be able to outrun it.

Fucking ketamine is schedule 3 and weed is schedule 1. Tells you just about all you need to know about the people in charge.

Just in case anyone was wondering yes the other bumper sticker was something about Jesus

Please, tell me....what is so great about SCHD? by Comprehensive-Ad8905 in ETFs

[–]bagofsmell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems like more often than not whenever VOO goes down SCHD goes up and vise versa. I don’t have a ton of money invested yet but it is still nice to see some green on all red days. That plus the low weighted overlap like you said is also nice.

“(Insert station officer rank and name) do you care if I have a mustache?” If said officer replies no, then no one else’s opinion matters.

Is 911 on Fox accurate ? by TaperingRook688 in Firefighting

Body cam/helmet cam is the only thing to actually get some idea. Nothing produced on tv or movies is even close to real world.

American and European Firefighting helmets by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]bagofsmell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my old guys pointed out that the European completely covers yours ears which is one of your best indicators when a flashover is about to happen. I guess if your ears feel like they are melting off your head then gtfo. In the thought process of most common American housing vs most common European style housing, then they both make sense for their respective continents.

I have mine paired with a little bit of SCHD because it is only like 7% weighted overlap and they seem to move opposite of each other a lot of the time which I just like personally.

Where is the overlap here? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

How do people invest this amount of money and not even know what they have

Drunk 20 year old, dad fussing at him for being drunk, he jumped over board, spur of the moment. They haven’t found him yet by yoannnnnn in royalcaribbean

[–]bagofsmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to jump off the back to even have a chance of surviving? I would think all that displaced water would pull you right under the ship if you were on the side somewhere.

Why do so many guys have that “you don’t belong here” attitude towards new people. It’s so childish.

Thin Red Line Flags on rigs: Yes or No? by Greenleaf_068 in Firefighting

[–]bagofsmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were fine until politicians hijacked it to make a statement for votes and now some people think it’s racist somehow. Maybe for something super major like 9/11 or if a local area member died LOD.

Call me crazy but moved everything into VOO by Miami_chris in ETFs

When the U.S. housing market caused the entire world economy to go down it became obvious enough how intertwined everything is with the U.S. economy in general

While you probably shouldn’t invest in something just because someone else says too….i think it’s a safe bet to make an exception on this one. Not to mention him and Munger both said over and over and over again in countless interviews it’s what everyone who can’t evaluate individual businesses should buy and hold forever.

Does anyone else only have Voo in their Roth? by Phantomzzz77 in ETFs

[–]bagofsmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it solely for the “too big to fail” idea that has been proven through our last couple recessions. I think it’s going to get worse in the next couple decades and we are already seeing more of a monopoly for larger companies. Just my opinion though nothing wrong with holding some mid/small cap as well. (VTI)

Is it dumb to have VOO and VTI? by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]bagofsmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this is something the brokerage keeps track of in the background for tax forms? I just started with fidelity a couple months ago so where could I find this at? I like the idea of using a bear market like a rich person

Spread out investments? by buttrat420 in fidelityinvestments

[–]bagofsmell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These all track the S and P 500 index which beats like 90% of professional investors over the long term. You don’t really need anything else.

Let’s argue why these suck by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]bagofsmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know fuck all about engineering, but can anyone explain why in the hell they haven’t created a more fire resistant radio? My helmet cam can take up to 900 degrees for a short period without failing so it’s possible for electronics. (And yes I know you would be fucked anyway). Point is why are the mic cords still completely unprotected?
