AFA 6/17

Hello, frirnds,

I will be back on YouTube shortly if I haven't made a formal return already.

Speaking of Atlanta, we might as well not be going, but let's not have our hopes up until July 1 for the verdict. I have not created any more PB trends since early March, but from the past Fort Lauderdale & supposed Los Angeles trip which was supposed to happen back in December 2017, but failed miserably, both you and I can expect a 1 / 6400 chance of going to Atlanta this summer as of this moment.
Both you and I can expect a 1 / 6400 chance of going to Atlanta this summer as of this moment.
Additionally, on June 24, I am going to completely revamp the guidelines for my graduation trip research project & give you a list of ways on how to prepare yourself for the final verdict. The verdict post will be up in 2 Sundays from today, at 5:15 PM. For the blog post:
  • Expect to see an exceptionally bad, but unsurprising verdict for Atlanta. I will not really mind not going to Atlanta this summer anyway because I want to save the higher-ranking cities for after I successfully complete high school with a regular diploma. There is such a high chance that we're NOT GOING to Atlanta as of right now that I might as well post the verdict by today.
  • Expect a good Atlantic City verdict, hope for a good Fort Lauderdale verdict. Atlantic City will probably have a much higher chance of being a good verdict than Fort Lauderdale though. As of right now, Atlantic City is still at a 66% likelihood & is not expected to go down at this point.
  • The verdicts do not include any itineraries for lift filming. I will have no itinerary for you. Instead, I will find whatever I can find & film whatever lifts I can film that I will want to film. Some basic modern lift models I will definitely not restrain from filming are:
    • Anything from Otis, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp (even their traction models) or Kone
    • Anything with Innovation, MAD, GAL or PTL
  • During my downtime from academics (July 1 to August 22), throughout the summer, expect mini blog posts if we get plans on going to Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, or Pittsburgh. I am going to make lift filming the second priority this summer, as well as studying for my precalculus class which I am going to begin starting in the fall to ensure a very good path to finals, although I will have already met the math requirement to graduate from high school.
  • If I go anywhere in New Jersey this summer & I am able to film a lift in the place I'm going to, I will TRY VERY HARD to film that lift unless it has an older variant of EPCO SSL or MML from before the 2000s. Even Monitor TR is good enough (if the lift is NOT standard traction).
  • Expect me to film some lifts ANYWHERE IN NEW JERSEY before I head down to Boston on July 1.
  • Today there may be a chance that I may be able to film some lifts in Elizabeth (if I haven't been yesterday), a recent addition to the Charlotte Kingdom based on past experiences riding and filming lifts in Elizabeth AND NEWARK.
At 8:45 AM on July 1, you could expect a blog post consisting of possible dates where I could be going to Secaucus:
  • July 7
  • July 14
  • July 21
  • July 28
  • August 4
  • August 11
  • August 18
On one, two or more of these Saturdays, I could be in either Atlantic City, Hartford, Stamford, Pittsburgh, New Haven, Secaucus, or Elizabeth. If I want to play it easy, I could stay in Hunterdon County & film some lifts in Clinton Township.

On August 25, I will get working on my research project & therefore not film TOO MANY LIFTS from August 25 until my next opportunity to film lifts, either by personal lift filming agenda or by family plans.

The likelihood of us going to Atlanta is at 1 / 6400, while the likelihood of us going to Fort Lauderdale is now between 15 & 18%. There will be a 2018-only single unique likelihood for Atlantic City, set at 66%, which is likely to go up and down throughout the course of the next two weeks, therefore resulting in FOLLOW-UP update posts regarding Atlantic City. Nothing is definite as of yet. I can only hope for a slightly positive end to this confusion.

Expect automatic update posts on June 24 & of course, July 1.

More additions to the Charlotte Kingdom will be here in September 2018, December 2018, March 2019 & June 2019. By September 2019, I will hopefully be driving independently, which means I will be able to film even more lifts within the state of New Jersey. If I am allowed to drive out of state, expect me to film lifts in Charlotte a lot when I have week and month long breaks from university, if I have weeks worth of spare time from Academic or other college-related work. Given the colleges I have visited in New Jersey all have very diverse lifts, they are like Charlotte at fingertips, so I will hopefully be able to film lifts at the college I am enrolled in by 2019.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
