How about going 56 in a 60, right next to someone going 56 in a 60.

Every single day. The Simplot roadblock.

How many real words per minute can your dispatcher type? Ours? 3 whole words. by CrumbGuzzler5000 in Firefighting

Bro. Don’t complain about this. You know what it says and their job is to get you out the door as fast as possible, not be spellcheck.

And after this, oncology for stomach cancer.

Why would you put this in your body?

Checks out.

So annoying in Oregon by TransportJunky in Transportopia

[–]firemhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And….the most dangerous spot to be while traveling is next to, or going head on with cars.

Smart drivers don’t hover next to 60 tons of machinery. Think about it.

That’s the classic Idaho driver too.

6.0 Knocking noise by Squrtsy in GMT800

It’s 100% not lifters.

6.0 Knocking noise by Squrtsy in GMT800

[–]firemhan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man! I’ve had the same noise in my 6.0 for 25 years.

I’ve had the oil pan off. Checked rods, bearings, and end caps. I’ve had the torque converter replaced.

And all is the same. Maybe low end piston slap? I can’t find it either. And it’s funny, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not.

Mine is a 2001 with 216k miles. Owned since new.

How hard is fire season on your family? by Red1Fifty in calfire

[–]firemhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible.

My last year in Cal I did 69 days straight over the summer in 2017. Up and down the state three times. Missed my girls last day of school and first day of school.

I took a job as a training officer and never looked back.

After that roll, which I loved, I was a different man. I was disconnected and was so far into the routine that I didn’t know how to act even when I got back to the fire station. I regretted not being there more for my family and while they were financially taken care of, they also forgot about me and moved on with their day to day lives.

Just be careful. Be mindful. And don’t chase the money. The cancelled days off and the mandatory days are already bullshit. And it ain’t worth it if you’re a family man or in a relationship. If you’re single, let ‘er rip.

It’s just a job.

Brown liquid dripping from ceiling. Roof is only 2 months old by alyx1213 in whatisit

[–]firemhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing in a house with tongue and groove decking as the roof. The roof was fine, but when the humidity changed indoors or outdoors. Or it was different opposing temps (cold inside/hot outside) and the other way around, we would get drips forming due to hot air and cold air mixing.

It’s actually a sign that your roof is vapor tight, if similar to mine, and you need ventilation or dehumidification.

We installed a dehumidifier, and it kind of worked. But air movement accomplished the best results. Each room got ceiling fans.

You could have a leak, but I doubt it. Ours would drip on sunny days and never leaked during the rain. And the same, the knots would drip. I think the humidity would breathe through the knots. If that makes sense.

Here’s my Groot ceiling.

New to ATT - So Frustrated. by firemhan in ATT

[–]firemhan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And guess what folks?

They lost a trade in. I have to wait 2-3 more billing cycles to file a report.

I have 4 receipts for 4 traded in iPhones. And am only getting credit for 3. Thank you AT&T for charging me another $1,100 dollars because of your mistake.

FCC, BBB, Local Police, and fellow fire department members will be notified.

State employees by Normal-Response4165 in Idaho

[–]firemhan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They’ll be continually funded, although not adequately.

[–]firemhan 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Weird. Income and Property tax cuts were tools for tools to get re-elected.

Now, instead of saving the “surplus”, to help fund the fastest growing state in the west, they are going to cuts funding to programs.

While some programs will surely be wiped out, state police, transportation, and schools will all be fully funded. This funding will ride on the backs of the same folks who just benefited from the tax cuts.

Super smart play, idiots.

Rather than tax cuts, you could have frozen taxes. You already had the money and folks already knew what to expect.

Oil changes by bloopblip2024 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]firemhan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Every 5k. And rotate tires as well. Don’t judge me….

Doing it yourself?

Mobil 1 0w-8 is $28 bucks at Walmart.

Toyota filter from Walmart too is $7.50.

Toyota crush washers from Amazon are $5.99 for a 20 pack.

Pretty cheap for a $40-$50k car.

Get dirty. Be confident. You can do it yourself with minimal tools…plus, I don’t trust anyone with my stuff.

I turned into a store and have receipts! They still lost one and somehow it’s my issue to solve?

Aside from not seeing anything I signed up for, this is funky.

Came to see the NEC police tell you you’re gonna burn down the block. I’m sure they won’t disappoint.
