Unwritten Rules of the Fire Service

Hi all,

Currently an EMT super interested in going into fire. I was chewed out pretty hard by my EMT instructor (who is also a firefighter) about wearing my uniform out in public. Had no idea at all this was a no go.

Are there any other social / professional faux pas I should be aware of going into the fire service?

Thanks in advance!

Best EKG Books

Hello all,

Currently an EMT-b looking to become more educated on heart rhythms and EKG readings. Is there a definitive book / textbook on this subject I can use to continue my education?

I've seen "Huszar's ECG and 12-Lead Interpretation" by Keith Wesley, "The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need" by Malcolm Thaler, and "Rapid Interpretation of EKG's" by Dale Dublin. Any of these good, or would y'all recommend anything else?

Thanks in advance!

Vampire Fantasy

Hi all,

I've been itching for a vampire book recently, and I absolutely love the way higher vampires were portrayed in The Witcher 3. Ancient beings that are really really intelligent and able to assimilate into human society while also being shockingly powerful. Truly scary stuff.

Any modern / relatively modern fantasy or dark fantasy books that portray vampires in a similar way? For reference, I'm primarily an adult fantasy reader, and I generally avoid YA and romantasy.

Thank you in advance!

Weirdly Specific Combo Question

Hi all,

I'm theorycrafting a bracket 3, paper, budgetless, elemental tribal commander deck in WURG, and I want an "all else fails" 2 creature combo to save my ass if im behind. I have a combo in my other deck that I use on MTGA in which I play [[Tooth and Nail]] for its entwine cost and put both [[Jumbo Cactuar]] and [[Surrak and Goreclaw]] into play simultaneously allowing me to do 10,000 damage with trample and haste to an unsuspecting opponent.

Are there any 2 creature combos I could use with Tooth and Nail that only use elementals? I kinda wanna keep the deck on theme and not just throw in a random cactus and bear/human card. The combo can be either insta-win or just knock out one player like my other combo.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Looking For a Way to Remotely Turn on my PC

I just built a PC exclusively for Tekken so my friends and I can play locally in my garage. I think it would be really cool to get a button to put on the coffee table that turns on the PC from across the room, as it's quite annoying to reach the PC behind the TV.

I know there's an app to do this on your phone, but I was thinking about designing and 3d printing a cool Tekken themed housing for the button to add atmosphere.

I know they sell dedicated wireless start buttons like the one from Silverstone, but I've also seen wired ones, and I've heard people even set the computer to automatically turn on when it recieves power, and then plug it in to an outlet that can be remotely controlled.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this at all? What do you think would work best for my specific use case? Thank you so much in advance for any responses!
