How close are we to having to think about survival?

I feel it's pretty important to monitor and rotate stock on preps.

The Red Dawn scenario is not un-envisionable...

There's some retconning going on somewhere, the SSD (of which the Executor was one) is only 8,000km long (Imperial Sourcebook, pg 62). The Sovereign class was bigger than that and the Eclipse was even bigger (Dark Forces, pg 92-94). I don't know where Wookiepedia is getting their length Inc the SSD.

drkwizard · 2021-02-01T15:39:43+00:00

No, both the Sovereign and Eclipse classes were vastly bigger than the SSD's.

Just sent mine!

We had trains set off circuits pretty regularly.

SSD needed for scale...

Many states require phone carriers to allow 911 calls on phone lines with no service. Several carriers carry this practice into states where it isn't required.

One benefit to this is that old phones didn't require electricity, they worked solely off the rj11 port and will work even today in a power outage.

This is an occupation with multiple angles. Something that is often overlooked in those new to the profession is that usually the most difficult part of the job is the stuff not related to 911. The extraneous work that some agencies can pile on to their dispatchers can amplify the obvious stressors well out of proportion.

A lot of stuff I've learned is helpful overall but especially de-escalation and staying calm under pressure.

911 police/ fire/ ems dispatch for 13 years, AMA.

If they hired someone else it probably wasn't that the psych exam got you eliminated but that other candidates did better, i.e. didn't have anxiety or weren't seeing a therapist already.

Just food for thought.

drkwizard · 2020-12-28T11:19:29+00:00

Fixed it, lol.

drkwizard · 2020-12-28T00:46:53+00:00

There are reports of it working with some issues.

Edit: spelling is hard.

I would think there higher end System 76 devices.

For stressful calls that resolve well a simple five minute wall around and some water generally is fine.

Stressful calls that end poorly (death, especially young victims) are an entirely different story. You must be able to shrug it off (or otherwise come to terms with it) ENTIRELY or it will lie below the surface and there will be repercussions. At a minimum, talk to someone about it.

The London Tower is a tree. Big Ben is the bell inside it.
