The fact that there isn't a minimum of 2 years classroom work before they even get a ride along is fucking ridiculous.

He's a complete ass, but I have to say, for history's sake, I'm glad we have video of a congressman vamping on the floor of congress. Truly the modern day's version of beating each other half to death with canes.
TIL they made Inside Out 2. I'll have to check it out eventually, first one was good enough.
Yeah this is a pretty classic case of "heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point"
I wish I had the same mindset, but moderates have shown time and time again throughout history that they will side with outright fascism rather than any amount of actual social progress.
The conclusion is the same though. Get your ass our there and vote
E: words is hard
Gotta love Not Deer. I know it's just CWD or similar, but man when you're alone in the woods and come across one, shit is unnerving
Grandparents had lead in the brain, I got plastic in my balls
Wonder what's next
Azeris might do a similar thing to them now
Now? You mean like they've been trying on and off for a long ass time now?
I'm not sure you know how dad jokes work. Most of them are simply awful, no good, terrible, and very bad. That's the point.
Right? I've never understood how that became a stereotype in the first place. Fried chicken is basically ubiquitous in all cultures in one form or another, including Europe. Turns out the vast majority of people like deep fried meat. Were southern elites just lying their asses off like "fried chicken? Yeah, disgusting. Totally hate it"?
Such a dumb fucking stereotype
I can't speak for the person you replied to's experience, but in mine it's usually either a car hit a powerline pole or a storm knocked a tree/branch into some lines and cut it. While I'm sure it's technically possible to make powerlines that can survive tornadoes, that's not practical.
In the case of a car causing it, it's rarely down for more than an hour. Usually less. Storms can be anywhere for a few minutes to hours depending on how bad it is/how big the effected area is. If I had to guess, I lose power for >30min probably twice a year. Mostly depends on how bad tornado season is.
Worst I've personally experienced was ~12 hours after a really bad storm knocked out power to a really, really big area. We got unlucky and were towards the end of the repair cycle.
Then you have Texas, who run their own grid separate from the national grid. It fails when it gets too cold. Not too much of an issue, it's Texas, doesn't get that cold too often. Problem is it also fails when it gets too hot. That's very much an issue, it's Texas, it gets hot real often.

Oh trust me, I'm well aware how shit most (non cop) first responders have it. Round my neck of the woods, cops start at around 60k will full benefits. That's still damn good money here, and they go up quickly.
Our firefighters don't even make minimum wage. They finally just got a pension. Our EMS hardly makes more than minimum wage.
