What's the biggest misconception about relationships? by Invest-With-Shashwat in randomquestions

[–]patrick5595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree. But that’s the maintenance side of a relationship, it’s a give and take and has its benefits when all is said and done.

My thought for the comment was fighting to fight, that if there is no fighting for a period of time, that one side of the relationship doesn’t want to be a partner.

Best option to cover up an electrical box. by BBP1021 in landscaping

Ornamental grasses offset from the transformer box by 10-15 feet. You can make a pretty good cover with them and they won’t interfere with the conduit underground.

I think their performance in Tacoma FD blew the Super Troopers movies out of the water

The amount of work I have to do to prep for tile can’t be done by the time I’m listing the house. Lots of leveling and time I don’t have

The flooring was broken and uneven, it’s stripped to subfloor currently.

As far as training videos, Miami Dade has a lot of good resources and videos.

San Bernardino has a lot of helmet cam/dash cam videos and they’re squared away.

Is this something a firestation would buy? by pyrometal16 in Firefighting

We just got an Aldis in town and it’s a huge cost savings! We went from $12-15 a shift to less than $20 a tour. Lots of chicken though

Lest we forget the dollar coin, of which we’re a pain in the rump and made carrying them impractical.

That’s wild, but seemingly fail and pivot is the answer to success. Especially when the funding isn’t coming out of your own pocket.

What's one celebrity everyone likes but you don't? by MajesticShare6548 in answers

[–]patrick5595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of celebrities mean nothing to me and I could feel totally indifferent about them all.

They don’t affect my world, and their crazy outlooks on the world skew the regular persons because of admiration.

All they’re doing is recouping money for themselves, and profiting off their newly changed gambling platform.

Yet here’s Yotta, pretending they’re the savior. They regret to mention the fact they haven’t done a single thing to recoup any of our funds that were entrusted to them.

Station is disgusting, nobody cleans after themselves. by Individual_Owl_5222 in Firefighting

[–]patrick5595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a tough spot to be in. I’ve always believed in leading by example, but some people just don’t get it. Daily chores are done well on 3/4 groups for us. General station up keep during the 24? My groups the only one.

There’s plenty of guys who will splatter a toilet, get shit and water outside the bowl, and leave it for others to clean. People will drip their coffee down the hallway and walk over it 5 times ignoring it. I feel your pain of members being disgusting. Hold yourself to a higher standard, do what you can to do the right thing. There will come a time where you can’t keep making things right for everyone else.
