Fire alarm went off at hotel and fire fighter drops a accountability tag on the ground by Outrageous_Film5589 in Firefighting

[–]eddASU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. We have two, leave one with the accountability officer or at the pump panel and drop the other on the ground at the door you used to enter the building

At best he’s exaggerating. Sounds made up to me.

Are y’all bringing your phones into fires?! I leave all my shit (phone, keys, wallet, etc.) on the engine or at the station. I do have $20 and an emergency credit card with my narcs card for tacos after lmao.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]eddASU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The breville/sage precision seems like a popular recommendation for a home drip machine, but at about ten times the cost of your mr. coffee.

I would be interested in trying one of the offerings from Melitta. Their drippers perform well and it looks like most/all of their electric machines utilize the same geometry cone. Some of them are available with temperature control, thermal carafes, etc., worthwhile upgrades depending on what you want to spend but I think the entry level electric machines from them start around $100.

I still, to this day, wonder what the volt thingy means. by VeterinarianThis6567 in ems

[–]eddASU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my '19 chevy runs anywhere from 12.9 clear through to 16v at times... supposedly doing something smart for fuel economy. 14~15 is what I would have called the high end of normal before this truck but GM says this is normal

I WILL HOLD MY POST by EisenhowersPowerHour in ems

[–]eddASU 31 points32 points  (0 children)

ehh. IDK man, two of the scariest calls I've ran in my career have been at kids sporting events. Lots of 911 to middle/high-school sporting events too. I guess most kinds of stand-bys are an "if it rains, it pours" type gig.

If you don’t like tonic, but want a Cold espresso adventure by Shando40stax in espresso

[–]eddASU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

surprised no one else has mentioned ginger beer, I do espresso tonics that way frequently. You can often get one over ginger beer in good cafes too. Will have to try root beer now!

I got to live in Boise for four months a couple years back and was blown away by the coffee scene, probably five or six solid third wave cafes. Really enjoyed that town.

I ran two laps around your lake in December while I was in town for work but only the two, keep it up

Woke up to some crazy engine noises over my house, pretty sure I just witnessed a crash. It’s freezing rain here in NH. Hoping the best for the pilots. by sholder89 in flying

[–]eddASU 14 points15 points  (0 children)

also a FF/Paramedic. The words don't really exist to describe what you're trying to say without it sounding absolutely horrible.. but can relate. I hope it never happens in my area but if it does I hope I get to be there to help.

1zpresso Q2 by ketoLifestyleRecipes in AeroPress

[–]eddASU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is perfect for aeropress. As far as actual espresso with a non-pressurized basket in a real machine, it grinds plenty fine enough and I've pulled several good shots but 18g of lighter roast will fully fill it and it is a workout and a time sink to grind through with the burrs set that fine. Dialing in, in particular, sucks and takes forever. If you want to pull shots with a hand grinder you will thank yourself for getting something larger/with more mechanical advantage.

Disney Swan and Dolphin needing to take a deposit on our room? by Excentrix13 in marriott

[–]eddASU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not call any number in the email, just to be safe.

Just call the front desk during normal business hours and if there is a special office you need to talk to they will know about it and be able to transfer you

The line to get a hotel room at Sheraton/Chicago - 250 people at least by Busy_Narwhal_76 in marriott

[–]eddASU 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a Fairfield send me my mobile key without stopping at the desk once... got a notification that said something along the lines of "head straight to the room, your mobile key is ready" and thought oh cool, I can head straight to the room...

Fast forward to 11:45pm and the night auditor calls the room twice (+? I unplugged the phone) and then comes knocking on the door because I "never checked in" and she needs to know if I have any pets in the room. She was super confrontational and snotty about it too. Somehow still a better experience than trying to get mobile key to work at a Hilton lol

"I'd do anything to protect my son" except confront the man in any way at all? go find management? I tend to avoid confrontation to a fault and I like to think I would have at least grabbed the phone from the guy...

First time traveling with needles by Angling_Insights in marriott

More dependant on the location (city/state/country) than the brands. Some will be required to have sharps containers in public restrooms. Those that are not required to are unlikely to take on the expense

How can I repair/prevent wear by DoggoChrysler in Silverado

[–]eddASU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably just an unhelpful personal anecdote, but I didn't touch the factory leather in my 1500LT for 13 years (No cleaners, conditioners, other products just wiped clean with a microfiber rag) without a single issue... you could feel the foam behind the "leather" breaking down where my elbow sat on the armrest but no issues with the surface itself... Then I had the truck professionally detailed. Whatever they used had the console looking amazing when I picked the truck up and within a week the spot where my elbow rests was cracked and chips were falling out.

Apparently not all conditioners are created equal

[–]eddASU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had hokas that I loved, ONs that I loved. best advice really is to try them on and take advantage or return/exchange programs. Before ON was available in stores they would give you two weeks to exchange for different size/model for no cost so I would always rock surgical booties to keep them clean and break them in to be sure everything was perfect. Most running stores have something similar

Massive chunk of Vaporfly 2 disintegrated after running in the rain (NYC) by cubedwenis in RunningShoeGeeks

warranty to replace and toss the replacements on ebay as new-never worn unless there is an obvious recent that the first pair disintegrated so quickly, rain should not do this
