It turned out the previous tenant actually paid the entire month of July, so HECO wouldn't even set up the account to start early than Aug 1, so in the end, my Landlord only has me on the hook for Aug and Sept bills (~$170 ea) (though they DID originally want me to pay the half of July as well)

2 and a half months now Yeah, idk, oh well...

Dang, guess I was spoiled at my last apt. $1500/mo (600sq ft) with utilities included. Or at least I spent 6 years there and no one asked me to pay an additional electric bill on top of rent and no one turned off my power for lack of payment lol Got a call from the rental manager at my new...

Well, apparantly I learned, that according to my Captain at least, it is "inefficient" and a "waste of time" to measure Breaths per Minute by actually counting the breaths in a minute. Like to him, apparently even the "breaths in 15 sec x4" is too long and I should be able to on 100% every...

Just going to point out that the 16 year olds in the British military (which is already controversial in the UK for being pretty much the only Western military to use literal child soldiers...) are only allowed to train... they're not allowed to actually deploy anywhere and conduct real...

Ok ankle, WTF? Normal day off, kinda lazy couch potato kinda day, but interspersed with getting up throughout (if nothing else making my FitBit happy with hourly steps heh) Then I'm about to run to the store real quick, put on my shoes and as soon as I stand up, bam Sudden, sharp pain left...

A few weeks ago, one of our ambulance crews related a story of having run on an abdominal pain call for a person who tried one of those super spicy chip challenges... A few hours later that shift, we responded to an abdominal pain call from someone who had also tried the challenge... the same...

Huh. Apparently Maui and Kauai Counties are switching from AMR as their primary ambulance provider to Falck... https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2023/09/04/states-ambulance-provider-switch-maui-kauai-raises-questions-about-quality-care-timing/

That footage is insane... Condolences to the family to the one who didn't make it out (as well as the victim inside the apt...), but 2 of the 3 crew managed to survive that?? I'm kind of surprised with the smoke trailing from the helicopter initially seen in the video, that they didn't put...

Great, can see another very large header from another wildfire here on Oahu (and multiple fire companies responding lights and sirens down the Freeway behind my apt, obviously companies from Town side a couple Battalions over responding...)

Well that's just great. Working OT at a station that has a (Ford F550 chassis) Brush Truck, and I'm the assigned driver for it... get dispatched to a multi company brush fire... And it breaks down on the highway thru farm country -_-

Apparantly there's a big brush fire burning not too far from here (well not really "apparantly" as I can see the smoke from my new apartment!) and I'm kinda glad I'm off duty today, been burning for a few hours already, doesn't look like it'll be out for another few hours based on the smoke, so...

Did my closeout check and turned in the keys to my old Apt, and now it's officially official, updated my Home address in Google Maps and Waze

Wow, 8 years thread bump... Anyways, slightly more pertinent to the OG convo, I was a Paratrooper in the Army, even in an Airborne Reserve unit while working EMS... and I never bloused my pants, never seen anyone else do it (at least not purposefully, a few times someone's hem got caught on the...

True dat, and they got all my furniture moved pretty quick, got a good deal (they charge hourly, so I gave the guys a good tip since they only charged 2 hours, but could've charged 3 since it was over 2hr) So yeah, worked out fairly well, just got some misc left overs to bring over

Well, the Movers were scheduled to arrive between 9 amd 10... as soon as I parked at like 8:30 they're calling me saying they're already waiting at my apt (and while I was still driving from the station, I got an automated text with a "Movers will be there soon! 3 minutes!" Geez, good thing I...

Well I really did plan on boxing up as much of my stuff as can, and leaving as close to only the furniture left for the movers scheduled tomorrow (since I'm working today)... but after an early morning fire call (woot! Got to actually be a hose dragger! (Tho dragging 200ft of 4" isn't as much...

So in prep for the upcoming Ashoka series, I had been binge watching Rebels. Finished all 4 seasons, rewatched all the Original Trilogy (including Rogue One as well as the OG Star Wars, Empire, and Return of the Jedi) and burned through the first two seasons of The Mandalorian (since Ahsoka and...

Hard to say... I mean in theory, a 68W SPC in each Squad with a Medic Sergeant at the Platoon, SSG as the Senior Company Medic (and thus essentially a full Combat Medic Platoon in addition to the Bn HHC Medical Platoon from the current Section within said Plt) Especially for COIN operations...

Depending on the circumstances, absolutely. Like I remember working standby during one of the big West Hollywood Halloween parties that stretched entire city blocks, and they were using UTVs very similarly
