The windows? Not corrugated metal on the kitchen ceiling?

And my personal favorite, how every drywall seam on the second floor is visible from space. That is a normal thing you can expect when nailing drywall to the rafters with zero insulation.

That's on old attic space that was drywalled.

Part of the reason that the drywall is so visible are the soot lines visible on each roof joist, some coinciding with drywall joints. So something furnishing heat in that house is defective, or set-up wrong (and a CO hazard)...or the POs really liked Glade Plug-Ins or keeping dozens of Yankee scented candles lit all day every day.

This condo showed up recently in either this thread or another thread. It is some architect’s (or maybe artist) delusion of a home. There is a YouTube video of an interview with the guy from like 10 years ago when he first design it. Apparently he didn’t like the look of the radiators, so he ripped them all out. Then when winter came and he was borderline hypothermic due to it being 40 degrees inside the place, he put them back in.

/edit: Found the pretentious YouTube video. It’s architect David Ling.

The architecture that shows up in this thread has, at best, the same kind of relationship to actual buildings that modern fashion has to clothing people are willing to wear, viz. they are things that look kind of like livable spaces but they have sacrificed everything practical in the name of a specific, and very strange, aesthetic vision.

Yeah like I have no problem with someone living however they want in their home but this dude is, via the video and otherwise, promoting a bunch of stuff as acceptable/good when it's just flagrantly, unacceptably dangerous, and actively destroying the building he claims he wants to keep using. Those photos still look like they're at least partially shopped, maybe they were concept photos to start with or maybe the photographer went out of their way to impose foreground and background components both in focus with a really deep depth of field to make them look surreal and bad.

Like in this photo:


The nearest corner of the bed and the couch below the bed are both in sharp focus. They may have done layer stacking to do that but it makes it look like the sheet metal thing on the left is just pasted right onto the rocks down below, like it's sitting on them. To get the water to show up they took a long exposure and probably had to shop/layer that into the image as well, since the lighting is otherwise too bright? There's a tiny wooden chair against the sheet metal in one place which tells us it's in the background but then the sheet metal appears to be directly against the bed, which is in the foreground... it's nausea-inducing.

They did the same thing again here:


The chair in the foreground I think has been pasted back in as a new layer in order for it to be in focus at the same time as the peeling back wall, and again a long exposure for the water effect.

I hate it. I hate the home, I hate the bullshit, and I hate this photography a lot.

What makes you think it doesn't? Maybe this is why all the paint is peeling.

But in reality, it helps to have a wide open ventilated area. At least I hope it's ventilated.

Typically "bed-wetting" involves the person in the bed, not the bed itself.

My favorite thing about the waterfall bed is how lovely the falling water looks. He probably just drilled some scattered holes in a run of PVC and called it good. If you actually had a good and even distribution of water it would look marginally better, or at least that you know what you're doing.

Nah, that pattern is not tobacco tar. That will make thin brown lines in all corners & apexes & be showing as little brown dots all over the bathroom ceiling.

I’m shocked that he didn’t burn the place down and/or die of carbon monoxide poisoning from trying to heat the space with alternative memes.

You’re overthinking it. Stop the camera down to like f/45. Long shutter opening naturally follows.

Everything is blurry poo poo with an aperture that small, but it’s equally blurry poo poo. We have a two megapixel photo here and there isn’t even two megapixels of actual detail there.

Ecuador turns surfeit of seized cocaine into concrete

quote:

Though seizures in 2022 dropped slightly, they remained high and quantities exceed the available space at 27 police warehouses where the drug is kept before being destroyed, officials said.

The record amounts also exceed the capacity of the ovens normally used for incineration, Edmundo Mera, undersecretary for Drug Control at Ecuador's Interior Ministry, told Reuters.

Now the country is using some of the excess cocaine in construction materials.

Using the so-called encapsulation method, with support from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Ecuador pulverizes seized bricks of cocaine in industrial machines with other refuse at a waste disposal plant before mixing the resulting fine powder with cement, sand and water to create concrete platforms.
