This looks intriguing:

To me that looks like a seriously burning fire, but I may be wrong.
Now, someone should adapt this to 40mm caliber for grenade machine guns to mount on fire trucks...

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

That's awesome.
Wonder what it is, must be some chemical that breaks the combustion chain, because it isn't cold and it doesn't displace oxygen.
One of the best firefighting chemicals here in the US was eventually outlawed because it was too hazardous. Purple K.

Really curious how it works, if it works on anything larger than a small shed, and if there was a person in the room where one goes off would they survive the extinguishing.
The guy throwing a scoop of water (or something?) into the fire after the extinguisher grenade is interesting, don't know the significance of it.

The voice-over talks about ammonia gas and "tansan" gas (tansan generally refers to a liquid being carbonated or bubbly) and then something else that I don't get.
I assumed that was the liquid in non-grenade form. Dunno...rolly wrote:The guy throwing a scoop of water (or something?) into the fire after the extinguisher grenade is interesting, don't know the significance of it.

watched another vid on it...
Seemed like that Water-like substance was kerosene. Proving that combustion has been truly halted? IDK about that, as the fire semes to go out when he throws it.
I'm seein the grenade as a Rescue tool in that vid. As in when you know someone is behind that wall o fire, you throw grenade clearing path to drag victim out

Not a chemist but I've been to fire school more than once, and I think maybe the ammonia bonds with the oxygen, making it unavailable for cumbustion. That's how drychem extinguishers work. CO2, of course, will put out a fire but has to be present in such a volume as to displace the oxygen. That's a huuuuge volume. But if you had something that could bod with the O, then your problem is solved.
I think this is an awesome idea and could go far in saving lives and property, provided it's done safely and effectively!
