Oh! I have another possible answer:
By "tried it," it refers to drinking the vodka. The 2nd drunk guy spilled the vodka on the ground; the 1st one survived because 1 shot of vodka won't kill you.

Answer to J (for the frustrated and curious)
Take a tray of ice, or a cup, or anything with ice in it, and put it in the freezer upside down. If the ice has melted out of the container, the power was out for a long time at some point, and the food is likely spoiled.

The first man was superman, so he flew out the window instead of falling.

@AgentPaper:
I had considered putting a cup of ice in the freezer, but I had assumed that it wouldn't work since it's specifically a refrigerator rather than a freezer, and if the power went out at night and came on again before morning, the ice might melt but the refrigerator section would still be cool enough to keep the food fresh.

As regards the two men...
That's such an old joke, I'm not sure it even counts as a riddle (like the mountain one from The Hobbit that got posted earlier). :p

Aha! I couldn't think of one so here's another!

I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them. I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?

Yeah, I actually thought of mentioning it was a refrigerator/freezer combo, but thought it would have made it too easy, and that since you rarely see a refrigerator without a freezer, it would be assumed that both were present.

I meant more that, in a temperate climate, it could easily be 85 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night. Refrigerated (not frozen, since you said specifically a refrigerator) food could stay fresh for several hours at 55 degrees, but would spoil quickly at 85 degrees. Therefore, I had been looking for a solution that would be able to take into account the ambient temperature during the presumed power outage, and a cup of ice would have melted at 55 degrees. I actually mentioned a cup of ice being one of the ideas I had previously considered and discarded in an earlier post. :p

Ok, I found three. (Actually four, but I used one already.) They could have multiple answers.. but I do have specific answers in mind.

If you live in Tokyo, fly 50 miles northwest, then 80 miles north, then 70 miles south, then 80 miles west, and then 20 miles northeast, where do you live?

What is the answer to this question?

If I ask you to say something in another language, but you don't know that language, how do you say it?

1)
You live in Tokyo

2)
The answer to that question

3)
by saying, "it", or, by saying "something in another language."

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
