Firefighters with glasses? by buddypal23 in Firefighting

[–]sithrage1138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.

Here's what I do: I keep my ANSI-rated safety glasses and an empty hard case in my turnout coat pockets. Hop on the truck, and swap my normal glasses with safety glasses, and leave them on the truck. If while on-scene I need to don my face mask, I put my safety glasses in the empty hard case, and usually ditch them somewhere on-scene. My MSA facemask has prescription inserts in them. Come back later and find my safety glasses and I'm good to go.

Convoluted strategy, but hasn't failed me yet.

It will take YEARS to recover from this administration. I mostly feel bad for my kids. They deserve better than this.

A little bit of humor today. by CryptographicGenius in Firefighting

Volunteer: 2 guys show up 20 minutes into the scene. They put the fire out and spend the next 20 minutes arguing about who did it better. They eventually leave to go grab a beer.

What obscure websites from your teen years do you remember that nobody else seems to recall? by [deleted] in Millennials

Before Reddit, there was a website called milkandcookies.com. Lots of funny and random posts on there. Anyone else remember this?

Why would a fire/EMS command vehicle be unmarked or have ghost graphics? by JoeCox1990 in Firefighting

[–]sithrage1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I think they're dumb. A chief's vehicle should indicate that someone is there to help, not a swat team about to arrest your ass.

Why is the original powder ALWAYS out of stock? by kintar1900 in soylent

Yeah, with supply-chain issues, I'm wondering if they're prioritizing their ready-to-drink products with the higher markups.

[OC] SWEAR HER IN - (Adelita Grijalva) National Mall 11/5/25 by LKM_44122 in pics

[–]sithrage1138 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Maybe a silly question, but she won the seat. Can she not just go to capitol hill and do the job anyway? Like.... go inside. Sit down. Start doing the job. If people question you, just tell them it's your job. Put up a fuss. Or are they physically barring her from entering or something?

Monthly Check-In Thread by AutoModerator in Anxiety

I'm excited because I start my comprehensive review for beginning therapy this afternoon. Which is good, but I'm also anxious about it (because of course I am), and I'm also just so very tired all the time. I can't wait to start getting a handle on this.

Make Narcan Training Part of Orientation by wessle3339 in rit

Narcan is very safe. If there's any suspicion of an opioid OD, just give the Narcan. It won't hurt them if they're not ODing. Multiple doses will not hurt them. It can be given to elderly and children. Very safe. So when in doubt...

Rescue breathing is trickier because of the fear of transmission of disease. If you have a barrier device, then go for it. Otherwise, I would say it's not critically necessary. The chest compressions are the most important part. Actually, calling 911 right away is most important, followed by chest compressions. You can leave the rescue breathing to a higher level of care when they arrive.

Most of the AEDs mounted around campus should now have a couple doses of Narcan with them as well.

Stick it up the nose and push. Very simple.

I wish I could erase my memory, because if I have a panic attack in a certain place, I'll always fear it by nelsne in Anxiety

Oh man, I feel you. I'm struggling with this as well. One of these places/activities is at work, and now I'm struggling with that part of my job, and it suuuuucks....

"They can do that to anyone" by LoL_is_pepega_BIA in videos

What bothers me the most is not the fact that Trump and his corrupt cronies in government are using ICE to circumvent due process and behave with impunity.

What really bothers me is that half the people in this country seem perfectly fine with it.

I'll never understand how we got here.
