I find it hard to believe there are many fires when there is snow on the ground.

yes, i know a lot of firefighters with physics degrees. Just kidding, they are mostly guys who weren't the smartest guys but they all wanted to be firefighters foreva.Adams_BJ wrote:

Well, a degree in physics could take you into predictive modelling of fire initiation and propagation, testing of mitigation strategies etc. Riding around on a snowboard likely won't.
Who wouldn't - most sit on their ass for 90% of the time, answer house call health emergencies/car accidents the rest, and get a fat fucking pension once they retire.

A few state colleges including one near me offers B.A. in fire science to prepare you to be a firefighter. I don't know how great their job placement is but I am not betting $40K on it. Especially since firefighting is the most nepotistic part of civil government.
They are opening a new firehouse near me and hired the first female firefighter for the city. Her mother is a wall street lawyer and her father is president of the longshoremen association. Yeah, I am sure she will outperform a similarly aged man...

But how do you know you shouldn't really be mad at affirmative action and not nepotism? I just want your anger to be well guided, in your interest.SuperJail Warden wrote:

you should let her prove or disprove herself before you decide that she isn't fit for the job. That's a very Jay statement by you.

I am sure she meets the minimum physical and mental qualifications. But in a physical job, men outperform women. Men have higher bone density and carry less fat. There are probably thousands of male candidates to choose from. At least one of them could overpower this woman.
I am cool with female cops. Of course people of both genders need to make up the police force.

I bet if the women use the power of contract law they can stay alive though. It's like the African warlords that eat their victims hearts to gain invincibility - the woman will all hypnotically chant the dissenting opinion by the 9th Circuit of Appeals in Gerhard, et al vs. Omni Corp. and bullets will magically ricochet, gun barrels will melt and turn towards the aggressors, and the Amazonian warriors will ascend to their rightful throne as the true defenders of tort reform.
jesus wept, what would lowing say to a post like that?
Has anyone tried acupuncture?
My mother in law swears by it.

Everything you said after that as irrelevant. So long as the standards weren't lowered to suit the women, there will be just as many guys who just scraped through the tests that are in as women who do the same.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Several times. That combined to massage a couple days later really does the trick if you have your neck or back muscles all locked up. I've tried cupping therapy too, but I dunno if that had any effect. Didn't feel anything different. But the needles work like a charm. First time you try it, don't drive home yourself. You get chills like nothing before and your body feels a bit weirdDauntless wrote:

You know that comic has saved at least one man's soul.
Some pictures of my friends wedding anniversary on FB reminded me of his wedding and why I was late to the ceremony. It was because there had been a semi that had run off the road on the route to the highway, which backed up traffic. The reason it was off the road was that it had hit a pickup, which, when you got to the front of the rig, turned out to be under the truck. There was a screen up and a coroners van and the whole thing. Nevertheless, it would've been probably a faux pas to say "Sorry I was late to your joyous event, but this dude totally got crushed to death."

Another marriage-related story: the story on reddit's front page yesterday about the guy who made a video game to propose to his girlfriend was actually done by a guy I went to school with and I didn't even realize that until he posted about it on Facebook. I'm evidently not as observant as I thought

Well, no one forces people to volunteer. If they want to keep going with integrating females into combat units then more people will die and less will volunteer. Doesn't require a lawsuit to work itself out.Dilbert_X wrote:

In the meantime more people will die than otherwise would. Seems like a great plan.
