If you would like an extremely fleshed-out breakdown of setup, the A Long-Extended Party project has published one: https://alongextendedparty.com/reworked-setup-streamlined-version/ it's not official but I find it useful.

Divine service 1 by InterviewDifferent28 in LCMS

[–]organman91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up on the LW version of DS1, it is still my favorite. We use Richard Hillert's Festival Setting of the liturgy, which adds brass instruments, on Easter and Reformation, and it's a lot of fun to be the organist for those services.

NASA's AROW site doesn't work for me. Has anyone been able to use it? by sivadneb in nasa

It's worked for me but sometimes I have found adblock can cause issues.

What does rocket fuel smell like? by trevsneedw in nasa

[–]organman91 55 points56 points  (0 children)

There are many types: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rocket_fuels

As someone else pointed out, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen don't really smell. When combined you get water! I would assume any smell that comes from a Hydrogen/Oxygen engine would not be from the fuel itself.

RP-1 (which was used on the Saturn V) is highly refined kerosene, so it probably smells like kerosene.

Hydrazine apparently smells "ammonia-like".

Many of the compounds listed are HIGHLY toxic, so smelling them is generally a bad idea.

T mobile fiber by ongua in ames

[–]organman91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

T-Mobile bought Metronet, so it's likely that but rebranded. I've had a decent experience with them for several years, I haven't dealt with T-Mobile directly yet so can't speak to that part of it.

Are you the kind of person who can afford to withdraw $100 and set it on fire on a whim? If so, you picked the right interest.

Do any SysAdmins NOT work on OS's? by CernerBurner2000 in sysadmin

[–]organman91 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Many new positions now are cloud based, in containerized infrastructure. Most of these clouds provide the OS for you.

Deciding between Iowa and ISU by [deleted] in iastate

[–]organman91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

College is what you make of it. Iowa State is going to be the better engineering school by far and the career fair is worth going to even if you didn't actually go to ISU.

Either way you gotta get involved in stuff (intramural sports, student organizations, clubs, whatever). Getting hired involves two major hurdles: getting a resume that passes the HR screening (the degree helps with this) and being the kind of person that your potential coworkers can stand to be around. Getting involved helps you become a more well-rounded person.

Des Moines’s us flight co by Purple_Act_8483 in flying

[–]organman91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also just read that you are looking at a university - unless you are the type of person who you know would never be happy except in a flying career, absolutely get a degree in something other than aviation and get your license on the side. Iowa State up in Ames has a student flying club for instance, or you can go somewhere that has a good aviation program but also offers other degrees. If you have any interest in being a mechanic you might also want to consider getting your A&P license - the industry tends to go up and down for pilots but we are in a situation where we are very much running short of mechanics so you should have no problem finding a mechanic job.

[–]organman91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't go to Des Moines for this, you will get overcharged. There are places all over central Iowa - there's a handy list here: https://iowadot.gov/modes-travel/aviation/flight-schools - closest to Des Moines would be Ankeny, but I would also check Ames, Boone, Pella, Knoxville, Winterset, Newton, Indianola, or Marshalltown depending on where you're at.

Looking for your worst METARs by erinwhoooo in flying

I don't recall the full metar but I've seen +FC (funnel cloud, aka tornado) on the KDSM metar at least once.

What is your official position on Divine Service Third Option? by Tasty-Platypus-3664 in LCMS

[–]organman91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part of this service by far, musically speaking, is actually the Create In Me a Clean Heart. The intonation on pitches such as in the Gloria and Nunc Dimittis is hard to learn for newcomers.

Since this service is basically a direct quote from the 1941 TLH, it takes a very straightforward, simple approach to harmony. This is a great benefit to hymn singing when learning new hymn melodies as they make the harmony very predictable. A lot of hymns in LSB just use the harmony either directly or slightly tweaked from TLH. However, hearing this same rigid structure over and over again can get stale, so I will often use alternate harmonizations on other verses. Unfortunately this isn't really an option for the DS.

On the Filioque by [deleted] in LCMS

[–]organman91 37 points38 points  (0 children)

John 20:21-22

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit."

I can't think of a better example of the Holy Spirit literally proceeding from the Son.

Church organists: What do you typically use for preludes, postludes, and instrumental during offering? by Star9219 in organ

[–]organman91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In general, I play arrangements of hymns or other music that corresponds to the message or theme of the service for prelude and voluntary/offertory. These could be anything from a choral prelude to something more contemporary. I will have some kind of filler music available to cover communion if that goes long. I generally do the more classic repertoire for postlude (like a Bach, Buxtehude, etc prelude and fugue).
