If your house was on fire, and you could only save one of the following things, which would it be, assuming everything listed above is in your house.

Please consider voting [honestly], as I'm trying to collect data.

Just a note: Your vote cannot be viewed by other members, including me.

I think you need to clarify some things.

Your Family & Best Friend (Are they incapacitated and thus cannot ensure their own safety?)
Your Self ( Does this imply that, if you chose the others, you will die?)

>Your Family & Best Friend (Are they incapacitated and thus cannot ensure their own safety?)

They're in a position where they cannot be saved without your help

>Your Self ( Does this imply that, if you chose the others, you will die?)

Yes.

Basically you are asking who gets to live?

In that case the last is useless! You would be dead.

Some people value being known as a great person over being alive. For example if your prized possession was a gold medal from the Olympics.

tries to rescue whoever is in the house.

Just forget the whole fire thing, you can save one and only one, pick one.

It is not a debate.

I know that I would want to save my entire family, but if the house was burning I would probably only be able to save myself.

Unless I knew that I was guarenteed to save my family in the situation.

Meh, to be honest, I would consider saving myself. Not because of selfishness, but because:
1) I would be scared
2) My family is scattered around the house so... :D Hard to get there, we just all get out!

But I would pick family ultimately I hope, if I had maybe a few seconds of thinking.

  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • 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

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    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.
