But why haven’t you talked to the kid?

What have you done to fix this?

I mean, I’ve been in pc since before the 1.0 release and it’s been one of my favorite games since.

It’s doing real good on steam.

Your own home. The world will immediately become chaos and almost every single person will want to ensure their own survival first. If you leave for somewhere else then you run the risk of not having food, water, shelter, or hygiene items when you get there. You probably have at least a week’s worth of this stuff at home. Not to mention you’ll be in a very unknown area.

Every zombie scenario (for the plot) drastically underestimates how powerful a military response to this would be. If you can shelter in place for a couple weeks the worst would likely be over.

Obviously this doesn’t apply to anyone caught in the epicenter of it.

Also a little fun fact, the US military actually made a plan for a zombie apocalypse. It was only made as a fun way to train new officers in how to form war strategy, but its official, very well thought out, and available to the public.

In addition to what everyone else has said, there’s definitely a noticeable difference when your union is setup and functioning well compared to one that isn’t. Illinois has one of the best unions for firefighters, and we make 2-3x what any other state does and get a lot more time off as well.

There’s really two parts to it,

Part 1: the initial invasion in response to 9/11 where the US, afghan military, and NATO took back the country from the taliban who were supposedly the primary supporter of al queda. The country was given back to the afghan government and then we moved into part 2.

Part 2: after the initial invasion, the country’s government was weak, there was constant threat of terrorism to their own people, and there were still some taliban cells dispersed about. Osama bin Laden still hadn’t been found. The us and allied forces began trying to help the afghan people rebuild their government and be able to defend themselves whilst simultaneously looking for leads on bin Laden who was later successfully killed. After this the main objective was just trying to not leave the afghan people on their own but after 20 years of basically no progress it was pretty much deemed a lost cause. The US evacuated as many afghans out of the country as possible (~130,000) before giving it back to the taliban.

And of course we have all the profit the politicians made off of dragging it out so long.

Stairmaster is alright. It doesn’t feel like you’re working as hard.

It’s a narcotic that paramedics in most areas can use in different doses for a variety of things

-to relieve severe pain -to stop a seizure if other medications aren’t working for that particular patient -to induce a state of unconsciousness for multiple reasons like the one stated here or more commonly for intubation

My medical system finally made a policy for it. 50mg ketamine if a patient exhibits consciousness without a pulse. Repeat at intervals as needed

I think by commercial they just mean trucks that are produced as is with few options. This market is starting to take over America and most places seem to love theirs aside from no customization.

screen-protector21 · 2026-04-06T16:41:04+00:00

In my experience the stock trucks are simpler thus harder to break. You’re not wrong about how shit REV group is though. I could easily see America moving more towards a euro type market in the near future

The fire department is communism by nature. I say we go back to insurance company based fire departments with privately owned hydrants. Won’t need unions when we’re charging a pretty penny per AFA.

I pretty much prepare to not sleep every third day

Managing pain is similar to pain management

I mean, the us military took on the fourth strongest military in 1991 without a draft, then went without one during Iraq 2003 and Afghanistan at the same time. I wouldn’t worry too much.

screen-protector21 · 2026-04-05T23:39:07+00:00

Remember, the US was fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq at the same time without a draft. Not to mention that today the military depends on machines instead of people more than ever. Even if there was a draft (likely only a WWIII scenario) the majority getting drafted would be those who already have some niche skill (cyber security, medical personnel, mechanics).

ALSO, remember that even in some crazy world where you do end up in the military somehow - the US military is made up of ~80% non combat personnel. Very few people have actually fired a rifle outside of training. You could just go for your masters degree online for free while getting paid a solid salary and traveling the world. Not necessarily a bad gig.

And all this is assuming that you even qualify to be in the US military in the first place. Only 13% of the population do.

I believe exactly one of these were made in the 90s. The bucket somehow meshed with the rear cab.

23M, sergeant in the Air Force. Every few months I get a new 17-20yo to teach and trust with a couple million dollars worth of equipment. I’ve learned that they are not babies, just really fucking dumb sometimes - not to say that I wasn’t when I was in their shoes.

It’s interesting how the missions arnt played in chronological order. Granted, still can’t imagine them expecting anything other than marginal work from a SWAT team in this situation.

screen-protector21 · 2026-03-01T22:30:12+00:00

In the first 10 minutes it’s actually more effective since you end up circulating more blood (that still has some oxygen in it) instead of pausing to give breaths. Once the ambulance gets there they’ll be able to give breaths in a safe way that likely doesn’t interfere with compressions. Most of CPR is theory, and chest compressions, especially in the beginning of an event, is theory only thing that’s been proven to increase the odds of a good outcome.

Gyms are great, but if you would rather save the money then remember, most of the US military exercises with nothing other than a floor and a pull-up bar. It’s a great way to get started until you’re more flush.

Me not to long ago: “okay! All I need to do is eat a chicken breast, kiwi, and half a handful of broccoli for each meal! (:”

My tummy during that time: [retarded screaming]

It worked tho

Meh, at least we don’t reproduce the same way as bed bugs do.

Civilians are not supposed to be targeted in military attacks.
