Assuming the aforementioned 400 pounds, and assuming that goons are about as dense as the average block of concrete, I'm going to guess the block is about 5'10". Look at all these goons getting so upset over a few hundred pounds

Yeah we're all beside ourselves with anger over this. edit: I did a little research and if he used the ratio I found of 1:3:3 cement:sand:aggregate, he could easily get a 400+ pound block from an 80 pound bag of cement. I had no idea the ratio was that high. sleepy gary fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Mar 20, 2015 |

Motronic posted:You said a bag of concrete. 400 lbs would be 5 bags. So is it 400 lbs or 80? Jesus, as much as I'm in awe that the motorcycle anchor de-rail has gone on so long, can everyone stop sperging about the weight. If you don't believe him just up and say "I don't believe it weighs that much" But no, Goons gotta ask leading question like Perry loving Mason thinking they can trap Nemesis into some sort of self-incrimination like any of it matters.

It's not the destination but the journey that matters. ~400 pounds is more of a deterrent defense. I think I could pick up that block.

You've got it all wrong. That wasn't an accident, that's his ladder theft deterrent system. It's ~400 pounds of lumber.

Holy poo poo. loving goons gotta be all goony about everything. So, my office is getting renovated and apparently no one checked the color of the new baseboards against the wall color. The wall is kind of a blueish grey, and the baseboards... well they are basically a sickly yellow. Its sad and looks nasty which i suppose is a crappy design tale thread topic, but if there is a thread like that its most likely full of smug bastards not like all you upstanding fine folks in here. Then I opened my server room door and found a 4000000 pound block of uranium which i used to secure my servers with laser rope.

Now I wanna see someone make an exactly 400lb concrete cube so we can carefully examine its dimensions and enter them into evidence. Wait, does concrete change mass when it hardens? I guess it would absorb some of the water right? This is important.

Technology lets us be lazy: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=400+lbs+%2F+density+of+concrete http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cube+with+a+volume+of+5.82+cubic+feet A 400 lb cube of average density (presumably dry) concrete, according to wherever Wolfram gets their data, would be slightly under 21.6 inches on each side. There is quite a range listed to density though, it could be halved or doubled from the median and still not be at either extreme.

I don't know, assuming 8 feet floor to ceiling that block of uranium would have only needed to be a bit larger than 20x20 feet. It works well enough as long as by "server room" you meant datacenter and not closet where the servers and mops are. Bump it up to osmium and you cut it down to just over 18x18.

KillHour posted:I just use a speck of dust from a neutron star. One of the old Superfriends episodes included a softball-sized fragment of neutron star that Superman ended up pitching into the sun at the end. If you weighed 100kg and stood 1m away from that thing, you'd experience a gravitational force of about 200 kilonewtons, or about 20400 gravities. Ouch. On the flipside, adding that much mass to the Sun wouldn't really affect it in any way, it'd just plunge to the center and sit there.

Parallel Paraplegic posted:Wait, does concrete change mass when it hardens? I guess it would absorb some of the water right? This is important. If I've done my math right (and remembered chemistry correctly), fully cured portland cement should increase in weight by about 25% compared to dry compound, so 80lbs would become 100lbs. There are a couple things that mitigate it in this scenario, though. First, an 80lb bag of quikrete is mostly sand and aggregate; it's not more than 10-15lbs of portland cement by weight (so only 4lbs of water would be added). Second, to fully cure, the cement needs to be kept moist for around one year. If it was kept moist for less than a week, it's likely less than 75% cured, maybe as low as 50%, so an 80lb bag of quikrete likely comes out to about 82 pounds of concrete after it's dried.

Chain your bike to the Hoover dam. Or use the collective power of goon to solve your bike security problems: Consider constructing a remote control plane that fires spears at potential bike thieves (FLIR required). Consider putting your bike halfway down a 800-foot-long, 12% grade zipline for security. Consider putting a Wii console full of gunpowder on your bike. Consider storing your bike at the bottom of a well. Consider

wolrah posted:Relevant, this was a perfectly smooth, level, and uncracked patio before this last winter. I discovered it yesterday since the snow/ice finally melted away. On the plus side, the sawn joints worked as god intended. On the negative side, it sure appears that a well drained stone base was not installed. Frost heave did that. When you put concrete on a poorly drained base (like dirt) then the moisture that the dirt holds will freeze and expand, generally upwards and gently caress up your concrete. This is a textbook example.
