Just wanted to start a thread for a daily, "I worked out," spot to keep motivated, etc. Today was a small workout with just a small walk and jog (just under a mile) around the neighborhood to warm everything up so I could do some decent stretching because my legs and knees have been a little...

This will deal with American EMS, but all opinions, thoughts, and suggestions are welcome. My question is how do we go about changing our EMS systems for the better. By this, I'm speaking of better accountability, training, QA/QI, and consistency. What sparked this delusion of grandeur was...

So the cannabis thread got me thinking about the general use of any substance for recreational use. Is it acceptable? Should it be? What substances should, or should not be? Alcohol is the largest item here. It's use is socially accepted despite its long-term effects and short-term results...

Honestly, my first thought is, "I hope their tires are rated for that speed." Other than that, I'm all for it. It's not like people don't drive that fast already. They should place cameras along the entire highway for entertainment purposes. In all seriousness people drive that fast, and...
