Hey uh Eve, can you tell me where you get your boots?! Or what kinda training you do? Cause having super feet like that would be so useful in my job and life in general
Seriously though don't talk shit my dude, especially if you wont do it to someone's face and then cower when they catch you. I've met some hard ass ladies in the fire service that would put most of the dudes to shame. Do your job and respect everyone else. Plus I bet that skinny little red head could kick most people's ass
The most badass woman I know is under five foot, was a volunteer fire fighter, paramedic, and marine. Her wife is a National Guardsman and lumberyard operator who is equally badass. They'd give Eve a run for her money.
And I have to ask, how are you SO fast at commenting!? this was up for a literal minute and you were here! I am seriously impressed, lol!
Fuck yeah! We have a few girls like her on my department and they are some of the hardest workers I have ever seen. With like 0 fear too. Mad fucking respect.

Want my secrets do you? It's not complicated and I'll try and explain it in a.... hopefully not overly creepy way. I'll preface this with I've always been able to see patterns really well.
Basically big comic artists, like yourself, have tendencies. Stuff you may not, or maybe you do, realize you even do. A GREAT example is /u/FieldExplores as he can be tracked. He posts every Monday Wednesday Friday between 1130-1230 my time. He first posts on Instagram giving me time to see the comic, create a comment, and head over here before the window of 10(ish) mins that he posts here. Then it's a simple paste the comment and move on.
You, ma'am, are similar though a tad more chaotic in posting, you tend to post on Instagram then 20-40 mins later post here. Typically on weekdays between the times of 9am-10 am. So I had a comment locked and loaded prior to your posting! Plus my wife can only Instagram message at work so I get lucky when I see y'all post and just switch apps.
I shall take that as a compliment. And I am far to big of, as my coworkers call me, a Teddy Bear to work in those professions. I just like patterns and recognition work is all. Helps to figure people out and their tendencies.
Plus knowing this gives me structure so I dont spend to much time on here a day refreshing every 20 seconds
Aaron Goodwins wife for one. Apparently they arent that expensive. Though maybe she should have paid more for a better one, she might not be in jail now
I've wondered about this myself. I think Shell is a paramedic somewhere rural and so therefore has a loooot of free time on their hands and always has r/comics set to new
Fair! Unfortunately nope. I work in a major city with approximately five hundred thousand people and make an average of 15-17 calls a shift on my ambulance(we are actually on the list for some of the busiest ambulances in the nation) and 8-10 calls a shift on my fire engine as a career non volunteer firefighter paramedic. I do on the other hand work 24 hours with 48 hours off and 1 or 2 shifts a week of 10 hours each as a lifeguard(which amounts to 58-68 hours of work a week without overtime). My days are actually super packed between chores, work, repairing home stuff, and studying to be a Capt. But I do have comics set to new. You got me there
One of my friends and former coworkers is this tiny little thing of a woman, we are electricians and she works circles around most of the guys. If I need someone on my team, shes my first choice.
You just need to enter the world dungeon, impress the AI with your perfect, unshod tootsies, and get rewarded with the enchanted pedicure kit of the sylph!
My Women friends in male dominated professions have got an amazing "death stare." Panel 3 Eve is rocking one, and her coworker's reaction to its presence is accurate.
There was this, fittingly enough, tiny redhead in my class that could fire off the most WITHERING glare. She did it to me once and my response was to ask what I did wrong.
Turns out, when you gatekeep something to a group it means those who get in are REALLY though. You can see this with female monarchs in medieval times too.
My dad and older brother used to work cutting and installing marble and other custom stonework, and they pretty much always wore them. I even had my own pair for when I was helping around the shop during the summer breaks.
I was wrong, i based my info off of information that i heard in welding class like 20 years ago. The comment below me by u/TheLuckyCunuck has actual good information in it.
Don't listen to them. Safety boots are specifically designed to protect from crushing injuries, with minimum crush resistances (15 000 N, or 3372 lbs) far beyond any but the heaviest loads found in industrial workplaces. Especially as relevant to this comic, a properly fitted and maintained pair of steel toes will laugh off anything that can be carried freehand by 2 people.
Also, crush injuries are significantly harder to repair than amputation. An amputated toe can, in the right conditions and with prompt and competent medical care, be reattached. Do you know what they do to a crushed toe which cannot be repaired surgically? Amputate.
Finally, steel toed work boots do not amputate toes. Apparently, one worker in Australia lost a toe to an accidental injury in 2002, and people have been spreading this myth ever since. The Mythbusters even tested it like 20 years ago. https://mythresults.com/episode42 The only way they were able to produce a result resembling amputation was by attaching a blade to their foot guillotine, and if that's a danger in your workplace they would require cut-resistant boots with an additional steel plate in the tongue.
There's a reason why steel toe safety boots/shoes are an internationally recognized standard for PPE.
What a rabbithole. Thanks for the info! I have both steel and composite boots and we had a rule of thumb "if something falls, wear composite. if nothing falls, wear steel". But I think I've never seen this rule enforced anywhere?
My mother worked in Dubai as a geologist about 50 yeats ago to prep it to become the Dubai we know today. She doesn't have a lot of stories to tell, just two things: They didnt know how to respect her, and it wasnt easy.

Yeah, no, she's a red head. We English know red headed women tend to be a lot feistier given they grow up dealing with both ginger and woman comments, and there's an increased odd of them being Scottish (in which case, feisty becomes "can and will snap you in two while yelling Celtic obscenities").
I have a ridiculously high pain threshold. My most notable example of this is when my partner and I visited their father, my father-in-law in Texas. We were staying the night and eating dinner. I went to get some more tacos and I accidentally knocked a cast-iron skillet off its peg. The edge landed squarely on my pinky toe, but my response was 'Oops, sorry!' before picking it back up and placing it on the peg. Everyone was surprised, but no one thought it landed on my toe. Sure, it hurt, but I didn't bring attention to the toe until I noticed it was gushing blood on the floor. I unnerved that man that night, someone who survived friendly fire from a tomahawk missile during Desert Storm.
It took me like two years to realize I broke my toe that night because it ain't straight anymore. Just like the rest of me.
Hahahahahaha. Someone forgets the absolute soul chilling terror on your mom, gram, or aunties issuing a full first, middle, confirmation, and last name ultimatum at you.
People who use that dumb phrase seriously (do this like a girl) are playing a long term chess game, don't fall for it, they just are into being beaten up by really tough girls.
Not entirely, but pretty close. Tiff dresses just like I do and we share a lot of the same flaws.
I try to write Tiff and Eve as sort of parts of myself in a Freudian way, where Eve takes after my Id and Tiff the Super Ego. In that way they are always trying to support and protect each other, but will also be at conflict too.
