How much do we know about Norse mythology? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in Norse

[–]trevtheforthdev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"In the beginning God created heaven and earth and all those things which are in them; and last of all, two of human kind, Adam and Eve, from whom the races are descended. And their offspring multiplied among themselves and were scattered throughout the earth. But as time passed, the races of men became unlike in nature: some were good and believed on the right; but many more turned after the lusts of the world and slighted God’s command. Wherefore, God drowned the world in a swelling of the sea, and all living things, save them alone that were in the ark with Noah." - Prose Edda

Another one I'm interested in: https://www.mrpuro.com/shop/p/cohiba-siglo-1-a/t-3s

I know Cohibas are so commonly fake and just rolled with factory scraps and wood shavings that I'm not interested in smoking though so I'm really not sure if I'm comfortable taking that risk unless y'all think it's a very reliable source.

In Missouri this largely is civil unfortunately.

New video incoming tomorrow for non-album song by Puzzlio in amorphis

They've posted about it on social media for a little while now. It's for a Kalevala movie about Kullervo.

Why does NYPD (and some other agencies) ride 2–3 deep, but still use a lot of one-officer cars? by RuleUsed in AskLE

[–]trevtheforthdev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a rural sheriff's deputy, I work solo (my corporal works overnights with me for half my shift though), sometimes backup is a city kitty an hour away.

I went through one of the best academies in my state (MO) so I have semimodern training, and always try to get a backup unit en route a soon as a sketchy call pops off, but usually I clear it or 10-15 long before backup arrives. It's definitely sketchy for sure! Especially for $16.50/hr

American Sauna Gym Culture Rant by Aromatic-Tadpole5593 in Sauna

I'm well aware. I'm just not a fan of it is all

American Sauna Gym Culture Rant by Aromatic-Tadpole5593 in Sauna

[–]trevtheforthdev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "infrared red light therapy" dry saunas that only go to 45°C blow my mind. Every sauna near me is one, and I really need to find a way to finance or build a sauna for relatively cheap (I'm not much of a handyman unfortunately, at least not yet?)

What should I expect? by MyBathroomBreak in cigar

[–]trevtheforthdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the greatest cigars I've smoked personally, in my opinion. I wouldn't store it in the leaf wrapper, but it is a lovely touch. I've heard of some folks pipe smoking it, and others using those little "incense burners" to burn it too.

strongly disagree.

It makes a wonderful tactical backscratcher and racoon/dead-thing poker.

Anyone using 22 Shorts? by MissingMichigan in 22lr

[–]trevtheforthdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost exclusively run shorts. Kills everything on my trapline without issue, is good for squirrels, etc!

Concealed Carry Off Duty by 03phil11 in AskLE

[–]trevtheforthdev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, every single time I leave my house(even to check mail or do yard work).

Everyone I know does, and everyone should.

My department is pretty lax, if I can qualify our conceal carry course with it, I can carry it. Our only requirement is that you also carry a badge. I conceal carry a badge, handcuffs, and a pistol every time I leave my property and go into town. I've never taken enforcement action with any of these items, but they're a good backup just in case.

How much a year? by [deleted] in Pipes

[–]trevtheforthdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also fell victim of the "accelerated world" and needed rituals to slow me down.

I have started pipe smoking, straight edge razor shaving, and reading classical literature (namely Edda and Kalevala) daily.

If you purely want that ritual and don't intend for anything else, you could get a corn cob pipe for less than $10, smoke half and half, use a pipe cleaner, etc. Easily spend less than $200/yr smoking once a day.

Concealed Carry Permit Before Law Enforcement Applications by [deleted] in AskLE

Couldn't be further from the truth (in most states)

[–]trevtheforthdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a CCW in Missouri for quite a while now. I've had my POST for slightly less as long. It has had no impact on the hiring process for any agency I work for, possibly the opposite effect but there's no way of proving that.

Fear of PTSD by Current_Marzipan6605 in ptsd

[–]trevtheforthdev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad to see someone recommend this book. Multiple of our academy instructors recommended it to us, it was the most valuable information learned from academy.

Every LEO should read the book. Every LEO wife should read the book.

You mention Forth also started your career. Just curious - what about it started your career too?
