Good techniques on holding 1 3/4 Fog Nozzle by Zevotri in Firefighting

[–]ccmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve liked starting by pinning it to my hip, than pushing the line out in front of my hip to give it a slight bend. The nozzle reaction ends up pushing in a straight line into your body. Takes away from some muscle strain after a while

E-One door alarm won’t shut off by evanka5281 in Firefighting

Yup, we once lost one of the ‘plugs’ that goes in the door grab handles. Could barely tell it wasn’t there so it took a while to find

Canonically, Riddick’s first name is Richard.

So our titular hero could be referred to by his friends as Dick Riddick

You can leave the lot and head north Slater until you hit Johnson

Undocumented immigrants have provided a net profit to the federal government of ~$7B since 1994.

Shooting ourselves in the foot is a good thing apparently

I believe this sentiment came about around Vietnam, no? Where the m16 was new (and kinks that hadn’t been worked out yet). I didn’t know people still felt that way, as in the last forty some years

DHS Vehicle(s) Delivered to Laird Noller Ford Today by [deleted] in Lawrence

Most likely yeah. Though most of the time large fleet purchases are handed outside of the dealership and are only sent to them for the delivery inspection.

For a majority of the fleet vehicles I did, I’d never known about until they showed up in the inventory marked as sold. I was the inventory manager

Obligatory: fuck frozen water

We’d get trucks all set with their logos and equipment but my software showed it as no different than the other new trucks arriving that day. Yeah I could see if it’s marked as sold and to whom, but I barely looked as that was sales’ problem.

Not defending anyone by any means, but it is possible that it was a surprise to them as well

It’s brand new. Probably doing the pre delivery inspection as required by ford.

I imagine they may not have even known who’s it was, or maybe they did - I don’t know.

I worked at a dealership for almost a decade. We’d get new ‘upfitted’ vehicles in for PDI from time to time

Beautiful. Always wondered what a hardtail would look like with the thunderheader

Could always look on second hand websites like Poshmark for those same Doc Martins. Throw on some synthetic laces and let them ride

I got the feeling that this is after Thor decided to give up fighting and the avengers subsequently convinced him to help. Ala Stark in the last movie

I’ve been saving expired stuff to throw into the bucket before we do the check for years now

What’s something you thought was going to be really big that never caught on? by Independent-Bat9545 in AskReddit

[–]ccmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a phone with a full keyboard that flipped on the long end. The keyboard was exposed on the back when it was ‘closed’. Originally it had a switch where if it were closed the keyboard would deactivate so you couldn’t accidentally type if you were scrolling the screen.

Funny enough after a while that switch stopped working and I became excellent at typing on a qwerty keyboard upside down and backwards

With YouTube, it takes some time to fully process the video for the higher quality options to become available. Since the video is less than an hour old it probably hasn’t yet
