Is there a field you think you can not do? :p 

Mathematics. (Well, and the Priesthood) (and most of the sciences and subjects that contain a lot of math).

Ah, my eternal enemy at the school level before university (which I didn't go to). Fuck you, mathematics.

Volunteer or full-time? It takes a lot to be a firefighter in California (you actually have to major in something called Fire Science), but the job pays quite well from what I understand.

Yeah, I think psychology actually explains my problem with math, but I’ve mostly hated it as well. I had to take one math class so far in college, but it statistics, and it was interesting since we use a lot of those in psychology and communication studies.

The official name is Volunteer but in fact it is a part-time job, the tests to be full-time are extremely difficult.

 

and yes, same here

Yeah, there’s not any dumb firefighters in California. I have major respect for firefighters:bowdown:

 

(P.S in the Police v. Fire debate, I’ll always go fire)

To be fair, that shouldn't be a debate at all, since any civilization basically needs both in one form or anothher :p

I think it's all over the world that firefighters have the biggest respect out of all those services.

 

I work at school (the one I graduated from) as a secretary - it's an afternoon part-time job and I'm barely doing things for the school itself, rather for the foundation that is governing it. We are organizing a contest for our region from Polish&Literature and Maths and that's a lot of job to do, including requests for financial support from local authorities, mail, selling the book with the examples of tasks and solutions... besides we rent out our gym in the afternoon and we are closed from inside so I let those people in, I need to take payments from them, the same for people who are sending their children out of our school to our afternoon classes... But usually I have enough time to watch Eurosport Player (like ski jumping today), at least with the "picture-in-picture" mode.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
