I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere in the US, but in the rural part of Georgia I'm from when 911 is called it is required that the police (or deputy), an EMT, and firefighters/first responder all show up to be prepared for any type of emergency. Doesn't matter what's reported to the dispatcher, it's kind of an all hands on deck until someone's on the scene and the situation is assessed. Not commenting on whether this is the best system, but just an observation that might help answer your question.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I'm personally more interested in the weather in Spokane.

That's grammatically correct in the neck of the woods I grew up.

Oh, for sure. It's good and necessary work, just not good for the person doing it, unfortunately.

That's par for the course for me. I'm the type that'll start a video game on the hardest difficulty for a challenge and then my pride won't let me lower the difficulty so I just quit under the guise of disliking it.

Oof, that sounds like a shitty job. CNA or equivalent? I hear those jobs often lead to disability as well, having to lift patients regularly and such.

As someone who has never tried Linux, this meme has done more to make me want to give it a try than anything else Linux users have thrown at me so far. The fox is very convincing. I might step into the back of an unmarked van if it asked me to.
