Fire evac plans for highrise apartments?

This has been bugging me for a while now, so now I can bug you with it too. Does anyone know the local evacuation regulations / procedures for these new massive apartment buildings going up around the city? I work in a 37 story building, and we have compulsory evac tests through the year, as well as even more random tests of the alarm systems that we don’t need to act on – but what about say, the residents at the top of Riparian Plaza? Or that newer Meriton unit on Herschel St that’s like 74 floors tall? Heaven forbid, but if there was a significant fire on one of the lower floors what are those above it supposed to do? Surely they aren’t expected to walk down 70 odd floors of fire stairs in a timely fashion? I can’t figure out how it’s safe to live up the top

Torrenting… Not that anyone here does it… but…

So Ive been away since pirate bay and all that were blocked. My ermm friend tried to log into IpTorrents but it says it doesn’t recognise the username or email address similar to what it would say if the account never existed (was using a .com.au address), when it used to stay signed in before now my friend cant sign in at all. Have .com.au addresses been blocked from there? Can they even do that? What other sites haven’t been blocked? Or are we all just using vpns now? You know, for science or whatever. submitted by /u/not_meeeee [link] [comments]

Students! Late night study locations?

Evening Brisbanites! I’m an external student who unfortunately doesn’t have a campus library to use for study in the wee hours, yet I also can’t seem to avoid distractions at home. Where do you go (in the inner city) to really knuckle down in a quiet space? State Library is my go to but they close at 8pm, and I can’t bring myself to mooch off WiFi at a cafe. Thanks! submitted by /u/joeyjojojnrshabidu [link] [comments]
