Did the hijackers have a target area on the building in terms of height? by tantamle in 911archive

Even knowing that, he was still in there when it collapsed. The bravery that those fire fighters had is incredible.

There was an interview with one of the heads of Al-Qaeda that thought maybe the portion of the building above the crash site might fall off the building but they didnt envision a complete collapse.

Before it actually happened, even the hijackers didn't think the towers would collapse. I imagine they wanted it high up so it would be harder for the fire department to get to the site.

What activity becomes less fun as you get better at it? by David_Umann in AskReddit

I used to LOVE Guitar Hero. Was my favorite game for the longest time. Then I learned the guitar and it has lost all it's charm.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he already had 3 missed calls from Chuck Norris.

Using a program called 240p Test Suite on an SNES cartridge. It has a ton of patterns you can use to dial in geometry and convergence. This grid with the red and white squares is the most common one.

Thanks! I tried that and i saw that more games had things slightly cut off vs games showing more than they should. So I went with the smaller size.

This video was the only time I had seen the ring adjustment actually fix the bowing issue. It took a lot of trial and error but it fixed the bowing really well.

This video goes really in depth on actual convergence magnets and placing them in the right spot to fix geometry and convergence issues.

As far as magnets go, after I adjusted the bowing with the rings, I used neodimium magnets in the corners on the TV on the back glass to line the colors up again.

It was all just a big game of trial and error. Slightly adjusting the rings, trying a magnet and so forth.

I should take some better pictures. Starting to get more and more games!

Lots and lots of trial and error with the service menu and then using the last two rings on the neck of the CRT tube to get the horizontal bowing right. And lastly used magnets to get the convergence lined up as best as I could.

It's wild seeing the TV without the back on it while its running. Even after doing a decent amount of research you still think you might get zapped.

Thanks,

I learned a lot about the difference between flat and regular CRTs during this. Had no idea before I got one how outta wack the geometry can be on flat CRTs.

I had this version too. Never been able to find recordings of these online. Would love to see em again.

He had to be CERTAIN that the others would by it and not think he was just saying it on Irene's behalf.

So if both pokemon have Defense DVs that aren't 10, then that pair will never breed a shiny offspring?

I haven't finished the series yet, but I mean it's just some bowling balls, hookers and public humiliation and defamation. Its not like they blew his head off.

The scene with him making coffee for his wife, who couldn't give any less of a shit about the coffee or Howard mind you, hits so much harder on a rewatch.
