UofLouisville sports fan, mostly Volleyball, WBB, and Softball. Tech geek, mostly networking engineering, a heavy dose of systems engineering, and increasingly software engineering. Build more roundabouts, trains, and bike paths.
Obviously, all of this is mere speculation at this point.

Yeah, particularly if it was a catastrophic failure with turbine blades and stuff flying. (Like Sioux City DC-10 crash... interestingly, roughly the same type of plane)

Armchair avgeek here, I would think affecting control surfaces would be more likely than affecting another engine.

Agreed...but that's a lot of smoke for a light plane. Cargo would be about the best case (of a set of bad possibilities)

And that doesn't mention the growing discussion about the impacts potentially to happen by way of your local power and water utilities.

I feel like this could be dismissed as Rumours.

So what I'm learning here is that my family's rules really aren't all that strict.
I totally get the reasoning for more qualifications,and I called for a rule clarification from my family on DE, because counting it felt kinda cheap. But they affirmed it, so...:shrug:

Wow, I thought my family's rules on this were a bit strict, "Airports don't count.", but that's hardcore.
That'd take DE off my list. I just drove through in my car, feet didn't actually touch the ground, but by our rules, I get to count it.

My father was a HS US history teacher and had a long running joke in his classroom (and by long-running, I mean decades), that ND doesn't exist.

Notably, just being DFZ is enough to be generally partition resilient.

TFZ: as you defined. Not buying transit from anyone.
DFZ: Having sufficiently diverse connectivity (2 upstream transits feeding "full routes" or better) where the network either doesn't have a default route for their edge, or it doesn't do anything because they have a "full" set of more specifics.

Wait...did you really (effectively) equate DFZ and TFZ in that article?
Because unless you've got a pretty novel definition of one or both of those terms (at least from my understanding), those two things are radically different.

Hah, yeah, I do remember that. Makes it even worse.

Maybe we should've stopped just before, since "56k modem" itself is a bit of misinformation. So called "56k modems" never achieved faster than 53k.</pedantry>

Huh, I'm not seeing hardly any of it. I must've ta(yi)lored my feed for my personal tastes a bit more.

Kentuckian here, that visited a few years ago (was lucky to have *fantastic* weather for it, severe clear, visibility for like 100 miles), and I, at least, continue to call it Denali.
