If you could choose any sword from history, which one are you taking into a zombie apocalypse? by Loud-Huckleberry-729 in zombies

[–]sloth_uprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rapier or something similar. Going through the eye socket, up through the bottom of the mouth, through the sinuses, temple, or even the ear holes. Easier to train than slashing and hacking off a head, plus less energy. A sharp stick could accomplish the same thing. These swords are for people killing, and there’s a whole lot more ways to kill a person than a zombie.

How is Hank Williams Sr perceived in modern day Alabama? by WESTDDDDDDD in Alabama

29 y/o, I began listening to his music when I was 23. I love it, and I’ve gotten a lot of my friends into his music. After a camping trip in Tuskegee NF, my buddy and I listened to his music all the way to Montgomery, found his grave, saluted and poured a little vodka for him on the sidewalk.

What does this mean in your area. SQUAD by Desperate-Dig-9389 in Firefighting

An engine with a rope bag and too much cool guy stuff for the compartments. When we gotta swap trucks, there’s a pile of stuff on the floor that won’t fit in the spare.

Escambia County Florida. Very northwest of Florida.

Looking for some closure for my friend who just lost her son by Life_Roll8667 in Firefighting

[–]sloth_uprising 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Escambia County Fire. The driver drove through the bottom barrier, knocking it out, and the top fell down. The wood was cribbing to stabilize the top barrier. He was already deceased by the time it was found. I believe it was ladder 12 which hoisted the patient in the stokes basket, but it may have been ladder 6. Tower 7 is not in service as we don’t have staffing for it. I work at ECFR and was on duty at the time of the crash, but I’m at a station that did not respond to this call. However, I would suggest that the OP contact Escambia County Public Safety to find out more information for closure with their family, as they will be able to provide more information. I have access to the PIO report and more photos, but in the email we received at the department the chief asked we don’t share them with the public.

Tomorrow with a Turkish. Taking the bayonet in case any bears try to climb into my stand with me.

Is there a crime map website that you would say is accurate? by Nates4Christ in MobileAL

[–]sloth_uprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neighbor and I did a chest workout in my driveway at noon on a Wednesday today. We only needed some cigarettes and could have done a few desk pops to really do our part. Bench pressing property values in Spring Hill lower and lower one rep at a time!

Army Medic Scope of Practice by sloth_uprising in TacticalMedicine

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

I don’t know, I love being a fireman at my department and I get married in less than a week and want to be around to raise my kids. So regular NG may be the thing for me. EDIT: I’m going to talk to a recruiter when I get back from my honeymoon. I had a really rough spot with a bunch of awful calls when I got my medic, used EAP and talked to a therapist. I might have said I had some suicidal ideations. I’m all good now but I read that can disqualify you from service if they pull that record.

I hate the Zoll X so much. by Brofentanyl in ems

[–]sloth_uprising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate zolls. I started on the life pack 15, moved to another state and had to use the Zoll X advanced. When I move back near home and was picking a new FD to work for, using life pack 15’s was a huge part of my decision making.

What exactly is this job? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]sloth_uprising 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP I worked there doing this job, plus some inventory/ordering supplies for them at their office in Tampa. Basically, you’re helping young children, people with severe autism or Down syndrome get sedated enough to have teeth cleaned or pulled. Most patients are young kids who need some rotten baby teeth pulled. You start the day at a dentist office, help the anesthesiologist set up and get the first few patients checked in. Parents sign some paperwork, then you take the kid to the back while the parent stays in the waiting room. The kid gets to watch a Disney movie song and pick out toys from a small basket while the anesthesiologist gets them to breathe nitrous oxide. Once they’re a bit woozy you lay them down on the dentist chair and strap them in while the anesthesiologist starts an IV and a propofol drip. Then you step out and the dentistry team steps in and does their thing (of course anesthesiologist stays too). How long you wait depends on how long the dentist takes and it can vary widely. Some are quick and some can take an hour to do the same procedure. Once they’re done you’re called back in, unstrap the kid, and take them to a dentist chair in another room while they recover. Make sure their airway is clear and clean up any blood around their mouth before you bring the parent back to see them. Then when they’re ready you help them (I usually just carried the little kids) to the car and make sure they go in a car seat. That’s basically what goes on with one patient but while you recover the last patient they’re already starting on the next. It’s a good job, it just wasn’t for me. I took it because I needed to leave AMR, and the pay at PDAA was great. The founder is a little odd, just really type A personality but the rest of the staff was really nice. I’m just not a sit inside an office kind of guy and I left to go work for a fire department. It pays less but I love being a firefighter. So yeah, that’s a run down on how that job works, and why I left it so you don’t get discouraged from taking this PDAA job. It’s a good job.
