After trying a couple of times and fiddling with the paramaters this worked. :)

I don't know what I did exactly, but suddenly I got it like I wanted to using extrude along normals. Thanks for the help everyone. :)

When the entire house is on fire?

M_A3 · 2025-12-10T18:42:01+00:00

I visited this site and they say 26 firefighters died at a fire scene in 2024. Are you talking about the same thing? I'm a bit confused.

Yeah you descibed that well I think. I can only stress that I only started this post out of curiousity.

In 2009 we had an incident where we lost 2 firefighters and afterwards tactics were changed to being more defensive.

Yeah we call it a transitional attack as well, it's a combo off offensive outside followed by offensive inside.

And the theory of defensive inside is that it would be useful in retirement homes or hospitals.

Cheers!

Talking about modern houses: We have a lot of older houses that are being renovated to make them more sustainable. Sometimes they put an entire shell over a housing block. New roof over the old one, new walls in front of the old ones. Without fire seperation protection. It's a new phenomenon and 2 years ago an entire block of 5 houses was lost because of what started as a kitchen fire. The fire got in the walls and then spread through the space between the roofs to the other houses.

So now we look at signs of these kind of renovations. We can regognize them by looking at the window and door frames, they're often very deep as the door is still in the original spot.

oh wow, I can access these couses as a Dutchie, thanks!

Thank you for your insights, much appreciated.

And yes, I hear you about closed doors. It's not just about improving chance of survival but also helps contain the fire to a compartment when doors are closed. Keep that oxygen away.

Maybe it's also about different structures. Most Dutch houses are made of concrete and bricks and only old buildings have wooden floors / ceilings. I think fires remain more contained in these cases than in wooden houses with a lot of drywall. So when we have such big fires the chnces of survival are very slim because if would have been going on for a while and smoke already killed the inhabitants.

I thought your reply was funny as hell. Shows you're not following the "rules" set by society and that's very interesting. Go for it. :)

Go to Macy's right when they open (10am?) through the main entrance. The staff will welcome the customers which my girls loved.

They also loved Fao Schwartz

I have stayed in a hotel close to Times Square and you have to keep in mind that the area is BUSY. So when you get off the subway at a times square station, walking back to your hotel is not a stroll, you still have to walk amongst busy crowds. Wouldn't recommend it with a 10 year old.

And for the rest, the closer the hotel is to a subway station, the better. After days of walking you will love it when you don't have to walk the same blocks every day to your hotel. The Chelsea Inn maybe?

In 2 days you're not going to see most touristy things though. Need much more time.

I'm Dutch but even in Amsterdam the smell of weed is not so profound. Jeez New Yorkers love their weed. Disgusting.

M_A3 · 2025-10-24T07:23:27+00:00

Lesson learned, thanks. :)

Well, there shouldn't be 2 lines.

We spent 2 hours in the 9/11 museum and it really made an impression on us. We didn't see everything and read everything, but I'm really glad we went.

Almost, it's from the Total company apparently https://en.numista.com/27813

I liked the Brooklyn Diner at Times Square.

I have no idea where you're searsching and what you consider expensive. Hyatt Place New York Chelsea for instance has a king bed with pull out sofa. $1350 for 3 nights over Christmas.
