Also a positive note, the carbon fiber wings bent 3x expected max

>bent the jet’s giant carbon composite wings upward more than 28 feet from their resting position. That’s far beyond the expected maximum deflection in normal flight of about 9 feet >All this simulated the loads in a flight maneuver where a pilot would experience a force of 3.75 G, compared to the maximum of 1.3 G in normal flight

If you have the discipline this makes sense. Tho the time it takes you to acquire and manage 3 cards isn't free. I've found it isn't work the mental energy and just stick with one rewards card.

We've found Redis installs with no issues see: https://redis.io/topics/quickstart or if you are on windows https://github.com/rgl/redis/downloads

On Ubuntu this guide works well https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-inst...

Only issue I've had is remembering to add the port to iptables
