no, see, we'll just build a massive frame of I-beams and place the cars and also the stairs on them. then nothing has to really stack, and also each apartment will be untethered from the main structure except for a few weld points on the floorShame Boy posted:so is turning old traincars into lovely diners not a thing that anyone does anymore or what was anyone trying to build a mid-rise out of lovely diners? infernal machines fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jan 22, 2019 |

reminder that shipping containers are designed to be essentially disposable and using them for their intended purpose they churn lol at using them for permanent building material also they’re like 7’10” wide on the inside without any kind of insulation seriously they’re pre-assembled shanties at best

FrozenVent posted:reminder that shipping containers are designed to be essentially disposable and using them for their intended purpose they churn also the plywood floors are impregnated with chemicals that are designed to kill all bacteria, fungus, and life in general inside, so by the time you buy a container that's not rusted or dented, replace the floor, and add interior walls, you might as well have just bought corrugated steel sheet and some 4x4" sections and welded up on site i'm not a big defender of shipping container houses. i just love the idea of living in an old star trek iv bart car.

LanceHunter posted:Yeah, Jerry Media definitely spent too much time jerking themselves off about how tremendous their Fyre promo video and social media campaign were (literally no one gave a flying gently caress about those orange squares). They never refuted the lie about how the island they were shooting that promo video on had belonged to Pablo Escobar, when in fact it was run by the significantly less famous/glamorous cocaine trafficker George Jung. Probably because they kept talking about that video as though it was some groundbreaking thing when it was on the level of a mediocre Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue behind-the-scenes doc. I chuckled pretty hard when watching the Hulu documentary and saw Aubrey loving McClendon, a man I sat in three meetings with in my time as a silverlight developer at Chesapeake Energy. that billy kid really learned to grift from the best. still to this day my wife and I are not allowed to suggest to our family’s that Aubrey killed himself.

mystes posted:Self driving cars are like a kickstarter campaign. It's only fraud if they specifically intend to pocket the money without even pretending to try to work on what they're promising, and I'm sure they'll pay some guy to work on it. The fact that there's a 0 percent chance that they'll deliver on it seems to be beside the point for some reason. mystes.org
