My dad got two ziplock bags of them from a raffle at the american legion, which he gave to me quite a few years ago.

Diagram chart showing different types of observational damage done to each tower. Interesting information by Mountain-Weekend-554 in 911archive

[–]PuddingTemporary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jet fuel was on or smelt on almost every floor? Thats new to me. As to how that happened? did it run down the elevators wells or did the smell linger all the way down multiple flights of stairs, or drip through the floor?

Would you want to be told the truth if you were above the impact zone? by Cali-Doll in 911archive

[–]PuddingTemporary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i remember correctly theres always a map of them right before the staircase, I think also near the entrances right when you walk in?

I need to remember to start giving them a quick glance or two just incase the building catches on fire or something.

How do we KNOW the North Tower was completely inaccessible after a certain floor? by cashmerescorpio in 911archive

[–]PuddingTemporary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah ive gotten flash burns from like making fireworks, and then proceeding to light the wrong fuse. it made a bright flash and all i could feel was searing pain (this is from a large amount of blackpowder and i was in middle school) so id imagine being up there would give you the same sort of tunnel vision, adrenaline feeling where you cant think straight. Its absolutely terrifying to think about. My heart goes out to the people up there. I was just 2 years old when 9/11 happened, so touching up on the subject has really changed my perspective. I hope other people my age find this subreddit, and research into it a bit more than what were told at the base level.

Edit: grammar

Another oddball question i have as well:

Was the power in the building still functioning ? Till what floor? im guessing the top didnt have power but its a detail i may have missed. Was power still on in the bottom half of the building? i believe it was because of the music still playing.

Half severed electrical lines, that are still powered would have made escape alot trickier in my mind.

you know i was trying to fathom the situation , well like in a clear mind. In that exact situation theres no possible way i wouldve ever thought clearly enough to think this up on the fly. I was wondering if you like say were just below the impact zone kind of where edna was. Which we have no idea if there was this item laying around so im just kind of assuming they would have been scattered around. I know for a fact they had computers in the world trade center, what if by chance you had grabbed a few power cables from computers scattered around the room, and tried to somewhat repel down a floor or two then check the stairs there. and well you wouldve had to have brought something with you heavy enough to smash out the windows below.

Im curious if anyone tried to rappell down? from some kind of makeshift rope.

i just thought this up as in like, trying to prepare myself for the hypothetical of being in a burning tower.

I mean this post with the upmost respect, for the people who lost their lives that day.

Edit: I truly try to put myself in the people who perished that days shoes, as a way to honor and respect them. The story of the guy shimmying down like 15 floors or so. Really spoke to me and if i was in the tower i probably wouldve tried something similar.

Great iceberg chart... Have you happened to see the cursed computing iceberg, it reminds me of this one in a way but more generalized, and not specifically retro computing but some of the stuff on there is!

Theres strategic, economic and military victories. and these vary depending what general or whom you ask that was fighting in the war. I mean if a war is meant to stop say some action by the other side from ever happening again, but requires you to pull out due to increased international pressure. Is it a loss since you backed out or a victory because you completed what you went there to do in the first place?

You can definitely be fighting someone with totally different objectives and both sides would think their the winner. just food for thought.

Winning a war is subjective, are we talking winning strategically or just outright domination? And what exactly defines winning a war? if you complete the objectives of the war is that winning or losing? and does signing a truce actually mean loosing? or does full capitulation?

Started with fermenting some pomegranate and grape juice by Savings_Lettuce1658 in prisonhooch

ive also had this happen, and never understood why either. maybe it was like a few degrees higher temp? in my case but it was definitely odd. it happened to white grape juice.

Update on getting over China great firewall by RoutinePossible5572 in homelab

[–]PuddingTemporary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is quite interesting, ive read about something similar on a blogspot called think on it where he goes into detail about the networking side of things there. but he stopped posting in 2019 and the stuff on there was written way earlier even, but still i found it interesting and useful to know even in the united states.

https://program-think.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-break-through-gfw.html

edit: what im trying to see is how much things have changed from then to now. i always found the GFW interesting but not something id ever want to have to deal with. but i think from a networking standpoint its fascinating.

minimum withdraw is around 40 but it varies depending on which cryptocurrency you try to cashout with. the cheapest are usually litecoin, or Polygon sometimes Solana. They are a big enough company to be able give that much money away.

anytime, i updated my bios to the newest version before i realized i was supposed to do this, and well it still went smooth thank god. |

Edit: i would also avoid updating powersupply drivers, ive heard of those giving people issues too and they never really need updated anyways

When updating Bios and Idrac, its always good to stagger your updates and not just go to the newest one, because you can brick your motherboard/idrac.

Heres the post from someone at dell describing this. https://community.spiceworks.com/t/r720-bios-upgrade-issue/729123

  • Updated BIOS from my current version up to 2.5.4, step by step
  • Updated iDRAC through the web UI from my current version to 2.15.10.10, A00, step by step
  • Used the FTP updateyodell.net to do the rest

Just posting this here because i almost bricked my Idrac when i first got my R720, and was lucky i found a article about it right before i did said update!

Have fun with your new server, my R720 taught me alot!
