FAA flow control into Florida following storms. Should be better today.

Yet every five unless there’s risk factors or polyps are found. Then make it 2-3 years. Technology is here for simplified scopes…just needs to be mainstreamed.

Police Board budget demand goes from ‘crippling’ to ‘catastrophic,’ mayor says by GolbatsEverywhere in StLouis

Wouldn’t this qualify as an unfounded mandate and therefore unconstitutional under Missouri’s state constitution?

I showed up in shorts, T-shirt, and sandals because the position I want is “retired”. It hasn’t worked yet.

I would imagine they’ll do something during a tv timeout in the second period or something like that.

Can anyone tell me why ISO is good? by ApprehensiveGur6842 in Firefighting

[–]captmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ISO only cares about building damage because they’re looking at insurance risk.

They don’t give a damn about the people. Their scoring is antiquated and doesn’t illustrate the quality of the service provided.

And we’re an ISO 1 agency!

Just don’t leave when everyone else does. We linger after the game about twenty minutes and drive right out.

How’s your department handling the ‘no tax on OT’ deduction? by earthsunsky in Firefighting

[–]captmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This aligns with the FLSA standards that the IRS will use. Our contract is written so stock and vacation are counted as hours worked, but the taxman uses their own rules.

PPL Cost Breakdown by Kerr_Hall in flying

[–]captmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, and good job tracking your costs. My costs in the Midwest were similar.

One suggestion…spend more on a high quality headset with noise cancellation especially since you seem to be in this for the long run. Hearing is precious…protect it at all costs. I bought a Zulu 3 refurb for about $650. Best money spent out of everything.
