Don’t make excuses for them. At this point in time we’ve had enough of these incidents to know that waiting to engage leads to more deaths. If this police dept and it’s officers aren’t prepared or willing to do whatever is necessary I’m sure they could get jobs in a different field. If the dept...
Fuck the NRA. Worthless political hacks. Have they ever done anything to actually further gun rights? Just a bunch of fudds that only care about their double barrel shotgun on the mantle.
I don’t doubt it. Lots of variables. Department south of us just got a new rescue pumper for between $5-600k. But I know it was a line truck which helped the cost. Another dept near us just put their $1.4ish million rescue in service. And I know prices have been creeping up on fire apparatus...
Don’t make excuses for them. Why do we have law enforcement if they aren’t ready to deal with the worst of the worst? Are we training leo just to enforce traffic laws and issue summons for littering? Are those officers standing outside with their dicks in their hands really well versed in...
Ladder trucks and rescues are in the $1 million area. Engines are in the $500k area. All the prices can vary depending on how much customization you do and what equipment you put on it. Line trucks will be cheaper than custom.
LA’s new electric fire engine had a water tank failure. Didn’t make it a week. Although tank failures can happen on any engine. Personally not a Rosenbauer fan.
I don’t know what data you would look at but I wonder how we compare to other developed countries as far as mental health. Rates of mental illness, resources available, treatment, length of treatment, criteria identifying someone as mentally ill. We already know the mental health system in this...
Goats will climb on the panels and cause damage. Goats are also browsers meaning they prefer to eat up high before off the ground so they are more likely to mess with wiring, etc. Sheep are grazers and don’t climb like goats.
Media and politicians seem awful quiet about shooters race on this one. The buffalo shooter was described as white multiple times. Fucking crickets this time…
Another cool bird are Guinea fowl. Slightly annoying but good guard birds and they eat ticks. They can be a little loud at times but they are something different and taste delicious.
So I am not defending this piece of shit engine (that’s also fugly) but if they are going on ems runs, fire alarms, smells and bells calls with this electric engine it will likely have enough battery power to go on those calls. Even many fires in big career departments are picking up companies...
We used chicken feeders and waterers. Kept them in some cages we already had as they were an experiment and we didn’t know if we were going to keep doing them. Whatever they go in needs to be fairly secure for predators and covered on top. We never kept them through winter only because it was...
I don’t disagree but it seems to get referred to as a race as well as a religion. When there is an attack on a Jewish person or institution you will see the media call it racially motivated or racist. Not that the media is exactly the go to on…well…anything really.
Grocery shopping last night and I thought we were doing well on keeping the bill down but no…still $136 for the 2 of us eating boring food for the week.
Not defending these hacks as I’m not a huge fan of large scale solar but the sheep is likely there because some solar farms use sheep to keep the grass mowed around the solar panels.
What it’s going to be is I haven’t taken my medications I need because I had to buy food and couldn’t afford the meds. Or I’m not eating enough because I had to pay the electric bill. Or we are losing our house because we could either afford the mortgage or all the other bills.
I don’t agree with everything musk says or does but he seems to have balls and speaks his mind without fear of offending anyone or pushing some agenda. I can respect that.
Have to wonder when the economy is really going to feel this. Right now people are still going out, shopping and traveling somewhat normally. At some point people are going to have to stop spending anything extra and cutting back on the necessities if things keep going the way they are. People...
100% right in many places. Urban sprawl is a much bigger threat to farmland overall than solar farms. Solar farms are just the new threat and are being put onto farmland that would probably never be housing. Or at least not in the near future.
My issue with the solar farms is they are slowly taking up farmland. Not a big deal right now but we might want that farmland for producing food at some point. Whether that be for a growing population or the need to increase our food security in this country. And restoring the land isn’t an...
“Preying on wealthy residents and officials”…I’m not losing sleep on this one yet. Guessing some of those elites are getting hit by the old karma train.
Driving as little as possible. Fill up the truck at 3/4 instead of 1/2. Put more effort into grocery shopping and shopping in general. Every little bit we can save buying things is good. I’ll be curious to see how the tourism industry and places that rely on tourism dollars fair this summer...
