9/11 related. My oldest current student was born in May of 2005. They have zero understanding of that day. - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:18 14
- I’m actually surprised I haven’t been asked about it by my older niblings. Figured they’d be learning about it in high school. - znufrii, vice president Sep 11, 08:21
- My oldest was 1 when it happened. I don't think he has any frame of reference for the meaning of it. We were pregnant when 9/11 happened but - oblique Sep 11, 07:52
- I was at a recruiting event for students a few years back and there was interesting conversation on this. - MDH Sep 11, 07:41
- to be fair, i think that's how we as kids were about things like the Vietnam War, or WWII, etc. It's just not 'real' to you if you didn't experience - Andie Sep 11, 07:30 2
  - Oh I know. I'm not blaming them or anything. It's just weird since this is one that I experienced. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:35
  - yeah -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 07:31
- Honestly the only way to show children born post 9/11 the true horror of that day is to air what happened that morning unedited and unfiltered. -- nm - Jovian Sep 11, 07:28 7
  - Perhaps, but still it's not the same (I think) having not lived through it. - ty97 Sep 11, 07:31 5
    - of course not. But it gets you somewhere with them. Instead of an indifferent I could give a shit shrug. -- nm* - Jovian Sep 11, 07:41
    - Similar to my earlier comment about Morocco, the personal knowlege makes a big difference. -- nm - Meg Sep 11, 07:39
    - exactly -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 11, 07:35
    - You could never recreate the "world just shifted forever" feeling. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 07:33 1
      - Yeah, impossible to fathom what it was like before. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 07:59
  - and not saying you should do that as an educator! God only knows what kind of crap you'd get into (w parents school etc). But that's really the only - Jovian Sep 11, 07:30

- A physical piece of paper? Play the lotto, my friend. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:00 3
  - I knew you would appreciate that. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 07:13 2
    - Indeed. I, meanwhile, gave a paper to a student on August 29th that only required a parent signature...... - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:15 1
      - Yeah, that feels familiar. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 07:21
The ethernet cable I replaced this weekend is at least 25 years old. That seems insane. - 99 Luftbaron Sep 11, 06:48 2
- Cat5e (gigabit) didn't exist until 2001. Probably a good idea :) -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 06:52 1
  - I'm just in awe that it more than met my needs for so long, and I'm just now about to get access to speeds that exceed the spec. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Sep 11, 06:56

Yeah, I still find it weird that we have a 9/11 relic on display in our town. To my knowledge there’s no direct connection to anyone from here. - znufrii, vice president Sep 11, 06:18 5
- Winslow, AZ has a memorial with two pieces of steel beam. -- nm - Meg Sep 11, 07:37 1
  - Here - -- (pic) - Meg Sep 11, 08:33 [Attachment]
- We had one as well -- (link) - oblique Sep 11, 06:32
- I've heard about similar situations, where a department/county/etc. provided resources or help and they were provided with steele. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 06:21 1
  - I’d be curious to see how widespread this is. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Sep 11, 08:27
Huge Li deposit on NV-OR border (That's good) But it's inside a volcano (That's bad) But the volcano is extinct (That's good) - 99 Luftbaron Sep 11, 05:58 3
- Next we'll find out it is under an ancient indian sacred site with some newt or snail found no where else in the world -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 11:11
- Turns out you can find lithium in lots of places on a world that's mostly water. -- nm* - Reagen Sep 11, 07:24
- It’s big but awkward. Huge capex, reasonably low production, very long mine life. I looked at it a few years ago. -- nm - mafic Sep 11, 06:19

  - SIR. -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 05:31
I don’t understand the point of crowding the boarding gate for a flight where seats are assigned. -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 04:21 14
- That's irrational but human. I don't understand why gate agents don't board zones by window seat & smallest bags first. -- nm - Max Sep 11, 07:18 3
  - It would be most efficient but splits up parties at the gate and people hate that. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 07:25 1
    - They'll be seated together that much sooner under my 'leave your personal baggage behind' incentive system. - Max Sep 11, 12:02
  - I've wondered that too. Zone one should be the back 8 rows and the next window seats coming forward. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:20
- the only reason is limited overhead space. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 06:05
- Sounds like you had a great trip. Really enjoyed the travelogue. -- nm - spamlet Sep 11, 05:31 1
  - Yes, very much so! -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 05:32
- Get that overhead space! -- nm - mafic Sep 11, 05:07 3
  - Yep. So many people don't follow the carryon rules. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 06:41 2
    - Yeah, I have had them be forced to put my carry on in with the luggage due to no more overhead space. Sucked, as I had no checked luggage. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 07:55
    - including the airlines. i put it on the airlines for zero enforcement. i meticulously measure my bag and make sure it's the right size. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 07:09
- Stay tuned later for, why don’t people just take three steps back from baggage claim and only move forward when their bag is there? -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 04:25 2
  - *this* one is the worst. you do not need to be pressed up against the conveyer. Really, you do not. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 06:06 1
    - agreed -- nm - JaxSean Sep 11, 06:23
