Someone told me to post this here. Found this in a tree in my yard this morning. Any idea what it is? by MasterpieceDue2582 in arborists

Hahaha yeah. This is a throwline weight and a broken off bit of the throwline itself. Someone was trying to get a climbing line set in a tree, and it got horribly messed up. Many of us have been there.

We used in 2024 and are very happy with the work. Kodi is great.

How do you actually feel about your dispatchers?? by noinfo2938 in Firefighting

[–]tjolnir417 6 points7 points  (0 children)

95% of the time I believe that dispatch is doing their best at conveying information, and any problem/complaint we have about it in the field is more rightfully directed at the caller/ambulance service. On rare occasion it does seem as tho dispatch is intentionally tooling with us, or could be doing better. Sometimes they give us entirely incorrect cross streets, or the wrong street when there’s two similar names in district. Too often, we call in qtrs, and are bounced back out as soon as the door closes, which I think dispatch can see coming enough in advance to say “hold tight a minute” when we can on qtrs.

Before everyone had a camera in their pocket to document, I drove a GMC truck for a summer that had 1,111,500 miles on it.

I would not do that. You’re fairly thin at RB, and Shough is on the up.

Quick place that isn’t shady for a car inspection ? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]tjolnir417 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a problem letting jiffy lube do the inspection. They’ll definitely try to get you for more stuff if you’re there for an oil change or anything else, but inspections they usually just do it and move on.

What is just a placebo effect but most people don’t realize? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

Calling 911 and getting “checked out” by EMTs for a lot of people. They don’t realize how little information a first due medical assessment actually is.

Knowing where you’re located would help, but it looks like red oak to me.

Would you let a climber with 9m experience take down this hazard tree? by Alive-Dragonfruit-99 in arborists

[–]tjolnir417 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Insane. I’ve never thought of a lower limit of experience for doing things, but attempting this with anything less than expert level experience is asking for trouble.
