There is a hell of a lot of plumbing to replace. Those air vents in the roof lead directly down to your plumbing system. You have to have them or your drains will glug exactly the same way a bottle of water does if you dump it upside down and your house will stink.

Basically, they didn't cap off the top of the plumbing system and dumped wet cement down the pipes. It pushed the water out of the toilet there and overflowed.

That house is proper hosed, is what I'm saying.
Are you saying that someone poured a half yard of concrete into a vent stack and then it flowed out of the toilet below? The likelihood of that happening is rather slim, I think.

I'd put my money of someone pouring a wetbed in the bathroom above, and not securing the subfloor correctly

The lid is closed and the vent is in the roof. It's almost like someone was pouring concrete on the roof and gravity pulled it down through the vent which led to the toilet we see in the pic.

That's exactly what happened, apparently. They were re-pouring the concrete roof, and either didn't cap off the vent correctly or someone with a shovel smashed the pipe while they were spreading the concrete around.

You'd think air pressure would prevent too much concrete from getting in the system, but these things are usually designed with multiple vents. Once the concrete got into the system, the liquid sought its level.

They probably didn't realize anything was wrong until they finished the pour and were missing a (literal) shitload of concrete that was supposed to be on the roof.

You know, I'm not sure that it matters if it was the top of the building or the floor above. Somehow I think the part where people were saying the cement came out from the toilet and splattered across the lid was the part I was taking issue with. If they vent the toilet into the bathroom above that is a different conversation and arguable worse than what ended up happening.

Me too, I don't believe that concrete came out of the toilet for a second. Because that's the opposite of how pipes work. I just think it came through celing/roof/subfloor, not a vent of any kind.

"Meowing" is actually cats trying to sound like human babies. Feral cats don't do it.

They can make a whole lot of different vocalizations.

The whole series of Prank Wars between Streeter and Amir is pretty great classic Schadenfreude. My favorite is probably the wedding proposal, which apparently nearly caused Streeter's girlfriend to break up with him. Prank starts around 2:30, before that is set up.

Streeter's revenge prank is pretty good too.

The Prank Wars those two do are weird. The glasses guy is just flat out mean in the pranks he pulls, while the other guy is less awful. He does them in front of their friends, not in front of 40+ people, or an entire stadium like in a later one.

I ctrl+F'ed a few pages and didn't see this, but sorry if this is a repost.

Blizzard, creators of popular video games that generally range from average to great but draw incredible criticism, have done it again. Their digital collectible card game, Hearthstone, will introduce formats soon and some people are piiiiiiissed.

A quick explanation: They release new bunches of cards with new themes and rules 3-4 times a year to keep the game fresh and interesting. Eventually, the size of the game can be a bit overwhelming and it's tough to design new cards around their interactions with EVERY old card. So they're splitting play into "Wild," where you can use all new and old cards, and "Standard," where only the original set and the most recent 2 years of cards will be permitted. You can earn in-game rewards from either mode but your ranking in Standard matters a little more because it's displayed to your friends and it's used for gauging players' eligibility to join some tournaments.

Their goal is to keep Standard fair and competitive and let Wild become a crazy realm of variety and ridiculousness. Magic and other games do the same thing in the same or a similar way.

Cue crazy collectors who've sunk a lot of money in!

And when they talk about golden cards and golden collections, those are rare versions of the same cards. They take a lot of luck or lots of dust, a currency you can slowly earn in-game for making the cards you choose, and are shinier. They're the digital version of getting foil physical trading cards.


a few quotes:

quote:

I'm your typical A+ customer who have spent $6k plus on your Hearth Stone franchise.

quote:

AMEN!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've NEVER spent money on free to play but this game milked me for $80 because I assumed it would be TIMELESS.

quote:

Completely agree with you. I've only (lol only) spent a couple hundred (maybe 500-600, I don't count). But I am furious. This is a complete betrayal by Blizzard and impacts the players who ironically support them the most.

I support Blizzard the most, but only ironically.

Yeah that's pretty typical of CCG / TCG type games. It does mean that you have to constantly buy new cards so they get lots of money which is lame and scammy, but it also keeps the game moving and fresh and not stagnant.
