    These days with how tied to your identity email is, using an ISP provided email is like self-imposed vendor lock-in though. A friend who uses an ISP provided email just switched ISPs and it caused havoc - bank logins, power company logins, etc

    Yeah that’s reasonable. A reasonable person could see how that could look like something life threatening until examined by a health care provider.

    Knee pain you’ve had for a month? Had a panic attack yesterday? Pain because you just had surgery and don’t want to take your pain medications? This is more what I’m talking about

    You’re right, it is possible to reject someone’s belief while letting them pray in a public space.

    However, when you tangle the prayer into governance you send a signal that the religious practice will, on some level, inform how the people are governed. And that’s not okay in our society.

    No no. Broken bones would probably be Orange. Some bone breaks are potentially life threatening by themselves (pelvis, femur, and skull/spine obviously), and then if they break through the skin that really changes things. Part of this that the call-taker and dispatcher make an informed assessment on the situation based on the information given over the phone.

    BC uses this exact system and has for some time. However, they haven't implemented Green calls yet so they get lumped into Yellow. An example of a Green call might be more like "I accidentally left my daily medication in my pocket when I was doing laundry and the only pharmacy in town isn't open until 2 days from now and I have no way to get to the hospital by myself".

    Everyone's got different life situations so scenarios like that one really do come up and they do need caring for, but any reasonable person would agree that they're in a different category than "I think I'm having a heart attack"

    What’s the definition of a “car” here? Do pickups and vans count?

    I bet some set of those will be excluded and if that’s the case this will have a side effect of driving further adoption in those larger vehicles.

    EMS 20/20

    That’s pretty much it. For anyone curious they take user submitted EMS calls and review/critique them. I find it funny as hell but their humor certainly won’t be for everyone. And if you’re not even tangentially working near the EMS field it might not be interesting at all.

    This is the biggest staffing level change since the one announced in summer of 2021 that was a direct result of the heat dome fiasco. This one is (mostly) a result of the new contract that was negotiated.

    The shift pattern labels are cryptic and confusing but now many small towns and island communities will have full time at-the-station coverage instead of depending on people wearing a pager and earning $2/hr (and also hoping people are actually willing to work those conditions).

    This is a big win and improvement for these communities.

    If they didn’t use reason and logic to make up their minds, you don’t stand much of a chance using them to change their minds.

    My little one isn't even teething yet, but my wife and I were talking the other day about what we used to get from the Tooth Fairy when we were kids. Has the Tooth Fairy kept up with inflation? What are your little ones finding under their pillows?
