    Default What happens when firefighters get bored?

    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. If one of them had let go it could have gone flying and killed several of them.

    It's quite a comparison you make there, that hiding in a plastic bubble is equivalent to refusing to stand under an unstable platform holding several tons.

    One letting go would have done almost nothing. All they were doing was stabilizing the hoses so they didn't move to the sides. One of them could have stood there looking up at the car without touching the hose and nothing untoward would have happened.

    Once the car was in the air and the pressure in the hoses had stabilized. If you notice, they did not approach during the dangerous period where hose pressure made the platform tilt precariously, they waited until pressure had largely stabilized and then approached to ensure the car remained in basically the same place.

    For example, look at the firefighter on the left in the closest row, he is barely touching the hose.

    They were in very little danger, and they had some fun. Quit being such a wimp.

    LOL. This is a nonsense statement. It's like saying you'll quit being a wimp once 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 5.

    Where am I controlling people? You don't have a constitutional right to be excused from criticism. Nanny stater, trying to control my right to criticize.

    There should be an amendment banning totalitarian stupidity.
