(IIRC the ones with the most deadly venom tend to avoid humans. Except one, that prefers to attack... can't remember if it was funnel webs or red backs...)

> Funnel-web spider bites are extremely poisonous. Seek immediate medical attention. Call the Poison Control Center for guidance. Funnel-web spider bites can be life-threatening, especially in children, and must be treated quickly with antivenin by an experienced doctor. Even with appropriate and timely treatment, symptoms may persist for several days to weeks.

@qasdfdsaq ...yea, no, just call 000.

I don't even remember the PCC number.

@qasdfdsaq ...uh. Ah. Fuck. Thanks, now I'm scared -_-

qasdfdsaq

So 000 is the "Help I'm dying" line in Australia?

Bob

(never actually seen any though - lots of huntsman and st andrews cross spiders. they're alright)

IIRC funnel webs are actually on the ground usually. Not so likely to get you in the face while walking between trees -_-

@qasdfdsaq Ya. 911 in US, 112 in EU, 0118 999 881 999 119 7253 in the UK, I think

Walking anywhere where there are trees in Australia sounds like suicide.

@Bob -_-

UK is in the EU. 112 works here.

Bob

lol, was kidding

though apparently 999 was your old one?

911 actually works here too. as does 112 (on mobiles, dunno about landlines)

qasdfdsaq

999 is still our main one. EU just mandates 112 working across the whole EU

Bob

ah

qasdfdsaq

Although that may be mobiles only

Bob

it's part of the GSM standard, I think

so basically worldwide as long as you're not in the US

Many networks don't implement all GSM standards properly.

112 (emergency telephone number)

112 is the common emergency telephone number that can be dialed free of charge from most mobile telephones and, in some countries, fixed telephones in order to reach emergency services (ambulance, fire and rescue, police). It seems that due to chaos in EU, 112 doesn't always seem to function? in some countries although it should be the primary way and number to reach police and emergency services in EU. 112 should work always and it should not have anything to do with GSM or mobile phone standards. 112 is a part of the GSM standard and all GSM-compatible telephone handsets are able to dial 112...

Err...

@Bob 112 works here in the US on GSM networks. It just redirects to 911.

000 Emergency

Triple Zero (000) is the primary national emergency number in Australia. The Emergency Call Service is operated by Telstra as a condition of its telecommunications licence, and is intended only for use in life-threatening or time-critical emergencies. Other emergency numbers in Australia are 112 for GSM mobile and satellite phones, which is answered by a Triple Zero (000) operator and 106 for TDD textphones. Triple Zero (000) was also the emergency number in Denmark and Finland until the introduction of the 112 number in 1993 and in Norway until 1986, when the emergency numbers diverted to 001...

@bwDraco yea, but the real question is if it works on the CDMA ones

if not, then it's not really universal there

bwDraco

@Bob I don't believe so.

Bob

pity

though it's always a good idea to look up local emergency numbers before travelling

bwDraco

Verizon is moving away from CDMA, though, in favor of a pure LTE network (and this means accepting 112).

Not sure about Sprint.

VoLTE is part of the GSM standard and therefore requires support for 112.

But don't rely on it. If you're in the US, use 911 for emergencies.

If you're on AT&T or T-Mobile (and you're not roaming), 112 should work, but it's always best to dial 911 for emergencies in the United States and Canada.

@Bob hah I get that reference!

@bwDraco I'll keep that in mind if/when I visit

Hopefully will never need it

Knowing it's 911 in the U.S. it's pretty obvious, but what about the rest of the world where their emergency number isn't as famous?

bwDraco

112 anywhere in Europe. In the UK, you may also use 999, but 112 will work there.

Things vary greatly elsewhere because it's not standardized.

> Why Should I Follow This (Lengthy) Tutorial?

Following this tutorial is not the lightest undertaking. It is designed to teach you all the inner details of building an HA platform for virtual servers. When finished, you will have a detailed and deep understanding of what it takes to build a fully redundant, mostly fault-tolerant high-availability platform. Though lengthy, it is very worthwhile if you want to understand high-availability.

"you will have a detailed and deep understanding of what it takes to build a fully redundant, mostly fault-tolerant high-availability platform."

Really now. That's a great substitute for thousands of dollars spent on professional qualifications!

Not that I'm criticizing or anything >_>
