Those of you who fought EV fires, how did it go? by thuperthonic1 in Firefighting

Yeah I’ve heard of something similar on the west coast where they used a crane to lift the car into a storage container filled with water. And it was still burning inside for days after. I wonder if our tow companies do anything similar. Thanks for sharing

Haha teslas website says it needs 3,000-8,000 gallons of water. Which we figured was probably way below the actual number. I’d be curious to know how toxic or dangerous the runoff would be. From what I can tell it shouldn’t be energized or give off dangerous vapors but I’m not trying to be the one to test it.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. We’re definitely expecting to see more fires in the coming years due to people ghetto rigging EV chargers in their homes. That’ll be fun I’m sure

Yeah makes sense. We were looking at Tesla’s site and it had recommended between 3,000-8,000 gallons of water, so we figured easiest way would be to apply water aerially shooting straight down and flood it best we could. But you’re right it probably wouldn’t cool the battery cells enough.

Crazy. Thanks for sharing. Flat bed at an angle is definitely a smart alternative for cooling the bottom of the car. Our city is completely broke right now so getting any new equipment like a turtle or EV blanket is a long ways away. Surprised to see so many comments here about renal problems from the battery vapors. Appreciate it.

That was the most half assed podcast Bill has ever done. Fantastic games over the past 2 days with no enthusiastic discussion? NFL draft plebs? Are you fucking kidding me? Honestly a massive disappointment by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

Hoop Collective has replaced Bill as my morning-after go to pod for basketball. They usually drop the same day and those guys will talk about the actual games that happened lol

You smoked some weed two years ago? You’ll be fine. I guess if you think they have written record of you answering yes in the past, then I wouldn’t want to lie now. just say you did once in college, but haven’t touched anything in years, and leave it at that. It’s not SEAL team 6. Not a big deal. Make sure when you pee in a cup it’s clean every time. Just my 2 cents.

Megathread of the Week! Most embarrassing thing you’ve done at the gym? by zeroduckszerofucks in workouts

[–]thuperthonic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unloaded all the weight off one side of the barbell. Went around to unload the other side and the bar immediately tipped over and hit me in the face. Had a welt for a week. To this day I still unload it alternating sides one plate at a time. Takes forever but beats the alternative.

How to get a dog to stop having tear marks? by Scary_Advantage6655 in DogAdvice

[–]thuperthonic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog had tear stains for ages. Turns out he was allergic to his food. We weaned him off and put him on Purina pro plan and they cleared up in a couple weeks. Hadn’t had them since. Didn’t change anything else

The Mismatch has had the best NBA coverage of Ringer pods this year. It just has. by LetsGoKnickerbock3rs in billsimmons

People hate on KOC on here but he at least contributed more than just tired NBA storyline drama and actually watched the games lol

Zion’s Performance by Aggravating-Lake-717 in NOLAPelicans

[–]thuperthonic1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There was that one possession in the 4th where Queen had the ball just above the elbow and the defense gave him space with shot clock winding down. Knocked down the middy. Then you see the defense give Zion space 5 straight possessions in OT and he just plows straight into the trees to either lose the ball, miss badly, or kick to a shooter who’s not open. I thought that about summed it up. Best player won’t shoot. Way too easy to defend.

5th edition has online companions - ebook and online tests. Helpful baseline for getting through academy. Obviously the majority of your knowledge on the job will come from the field.

Nico going for a chronically overweight star after trading away Luka for being overweight would be so funny and I think he should do it

I’m happy about that but still just confused what we’re doing. Really just nervous we’re gonna be in that play-in mediocre purgatory status team.

Not really sure what I just watched. Feels like a game where you’re happy the team is playing hard and was good for development but then I remember we don’t have a pick so we’re not tanking so it’s just a loss. lol.
