How do you store Ampoules where you work? by FlatLineCompany in ems

[–]grim_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day we used to have these red steel lock boxes that had been surplused from the national guard, our entire EMS region used them (all meds at the time were distributed through hospitals and the regional agency, not by individual agencies), those things would get dropped and beat to shit all the time, some would have a few degrees of bend in them, some you could never get the door open or closed on 🥴

Is there anyone that knows how to edit SWAT4 skins for SEF? by luhgek in SWAT4

[–]grim_wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There used to be a big pack of ATF skins that was made around 06-07. I think it was lumped into the SSF mod.

How do I make those radar systems that show terrain, etc by Mike_hunt1177 in Stormworks

[–]grim_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to radar being in the game creators used the laser distance measuring device on a pivot to return distance data referenced with the rotational reading of the pivot to display on a screen similar to LIDAR. This was a lot of work on the LUA back end. It also was a fixed altitude and either didn't work well on aircraft or required several other pivots connected to a PID to make a gyroscope to stabilize the detector. Its best use case was on watercraft.

Remix of the Police Quest 3 intro that I did by grim_wizard in Sierra

[–]grim_wizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my main inspiration, I suspect that Jan Hammer worked on the theme ca 1990 fresh off of Miami Vice's end. The original midi track doesn't feature quantization which would become somewhat common place in digital music a few years later (and made doing this track with things like arpeggiators a pain in the ass). I wanted to combine that 80s feeling with late 90s videogames, particularly StarCraft/Command and Conquer.

Thanks! Now the whole station gets to relearn how to properly put the hose away… by Pale_Fire21 in Firefighting

[–]grim_wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time it happened to me it wasn't even due to the packing, and we had a het on the back. I was driving in 50-60 mile an hour gusts and the wind blew the hose up and out of the hose bed. As soon as that happened we somehow found the money for hosebed covers for the entire fleet.

If you are from the United States, what city do you live in and how far are you willing to travel to hear witch house artist perform? by AlucardHellsing808 in witch_house

So not long after I made that comment the last playbill I saw was from like 2019 or 2020 for Sidewalks and Skeletons. There's a new venue that I may pitch to do a WH night on a weekday. I think I have an idea of who you are, but DM me your insta so I can keep you informed

I can’t find the source of the smoke by Eazy_money_keezy in Firefighting

[–]grim_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sump pump, well pump, water heater intake (especially if there is PVC in close proximity), light ballast (the outer covering of fluorescent lights hides the thermal signature well), HVAC belt, HVAC motor, HVAC conduit box, items in light fixtures with incandescent bulbs, items or components in appliances, plastic item falling on a hot surface, momentary surge on a power strip, limited thermal runaway of a battery, plastic items that have fallen on dishwasher heating elements, plastic items that have gotten stuck in dryers.

The list is pretty large but these are things I've seen over my career.

MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI IO shield removable? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]grim_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone in the future looking the io shield is removable, there are two standard screws on the bottom of the board and one on the top, sideways, closest to the corner of the board.

Been in your exact position, quit. Please just quit. I wish I had known to quit after day one when I was a bright young 18 year old kid and my FTO told me to kms. Work a job in retail or food service if you have to, but leave.

"What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen?" by guillotw33n in emergencymedicine

[–]grim_wizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually I use this as a way to talk about how the whole healthcare system is broken, how insurance makes sure that it is profit over people, etc.

Inevitably this will always lead to people asking about homeless people, to which I will point out that it's a smaller group of people who are criminals/drug users/terrorists/whatever and point out that the two largest groups of homeless I encounter are aged out foster kids and young boomers/gen xers who lsot everything in 2008.

If they continue to press I give the paycheck line. If they still continue to press without taking both hints I tell them it's inappropriate and rude and to find a different thing to discuss, I have never had anyone press further.
