If anyone can do it, it’s SBG.

The firm is currently building the world’s tallest building. One of their subsidiaries holds the record for the tallest building demolished, twice over.

Ok but when you are a healthcare worker and you share that “the guy from the thing on maple street” had his anus stitched shut, and it’s public information who had the thing on Maple street, you have just breached HIPAA.

So his sister, if this had been in the US, breached HIPAA.

His sister isn’t a covered entity so no she didn’t violate jack squat

So the big apartment tower moved '1mm to 2mm' after 'big bang' (as did your mother), how serious is this from a safety point of view?

Yep. Dexter gets one point for spelling HIPAA right, but minus one point for not recognizing that HIPAA only covers stuff paid for by health insurance—the I in HIPAA. If you pay for a medical test in cash or it’s done for free then it’s not protected.

It could be anything from “nothing is actually seriously wrong with this building” to “the concrete is flawed on the scale of Ryugyong Hotel and/or the design is flawed on the scale of Citicorp Tower”.

A contract signed by a minor is not binding!
local privacy laws do prevent government organizations (such as hospitals) releasing personal information, but that's only relevant if the person can be reasonably identified (e.g. by name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth or photograph).

'a truck driver' probably isn't sufficient

The free running and taking risks at heights is just like any other risky sport like motorcycling, base jumping, skydiving or bungee jumping. You're putting all your faith in a machine, or your skills or even a combination of the two. Some people really enjoy pushing the risk envelope as far as they can. At those heights a single mistake will be fatal, but the same can be said of a bungee breaking or a parachute failing to open. The adrenaline hit is worth the risk for some people.

Buildings have anchor points on the roof you can have a winched platform attached to.

In countries that give a gently caress about that sort of thing, of course.

Ah gently caress yes, I’ve seen that many times. They come from the top. I had a dude washing my windows once and it freaked me out at a hotel. I was not naked. At the beginning.

When you actually say a date out loud do you say "December 21st 2018" or "21st December 2018", because when you write down dates while thinking the former in your head that's american formatting

the one true way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD anyways

It seems pretty natural really. It's spoken December twenty-first, two-thousand eighteen. Who says the twenty-first of December, two-thousand eighteen; or two-thousand eighteen on the twenty-first of December; or two-thousand eighteen in the month of December on the twenty-first day?
