Memento posted:The bit in the middle is where a set of stairs goes, the type you might walk down to get out of your apartment. Actually, yeah, this is correct. Right side is the landing. Steps go in the centre. It’s like fire escapes where all the flights have the same orientation rather than alternating and you have to walk on the flat bit between them.

He could still get down by walking along the hand rails on the stairs.

Buff Skeleton posted:Is there only one stairwell? I remember hearing about an apartment complex locally somewhere in the Atlanta area that had people trapped indoors because of stair maintenance, and the fire department had to come out and get them down with ladder trucks. Nobody was in any immediate danger since the place wasn't on fire, but if it had been, that would have been... uh. Pretty bad. https://twitter.com/SophiaWSB/status/871783680628412416/photo/1 https://twitter.com/SophiaWSB/status/871843564652822528

So the stairs were just ripped out rather than collapsing?

The last flight I was on, I was amazed how bad people were at not standing up after landing. We landed and stopped; seat belt light still on. People immediately got up and started grabbing overhead stuff and whatnot. Pilot comes on and says we don't have a gate, please remain seated. We move a little closer to the gate and stop. People again get up and start shuffling about. Once again reminded to please stay seated. Rinse and repeat a couple more times. I'm just a passenger and I wanted to shout back at people to just sit and be patient. I don't know how the crew are able to restrain themselves from yelling at all of the idiots who can't pay any attention at all.

You're plane is only balancing on 3 awkwardly placed stilts 20 feet in the air, rolling around at freeway speeds. SIT DOWN. Stop moving! Airliners really like to tip too. There's stilts they use at every airport for the rear end ends of the airliner to not tip during loading; take a peek at some planes ... tails next time you're at the airport.

So I like to watch Forgotten Firearms now and then for the weird mechanical contraptions that go bang and just found this thing exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9bULArrKs4 My personal experience with firearms is about 60 real bullets on a RK-62 during compulsory armed service (lol you are airforce weather guys, you don't need to know how to shoot), but the idea that you would make any part of a gun that has to deal with a live? round out of plastic insane.

I had a cook, W, who called out on me once because the stairs to his second-story apartment fell off the side of the building as he closed the front door. His cab just kinda left after that, lol. Knowing him and where he lived, I believed it. He showed up thirty minutes later, being driven by the apartment manager, who I knew from living in another building there. W slept on my couch for a few days after that.

I'm not sure it's a proper chute, I think it might just be a stack of red plastic garbage bins with the bottoms knocked out.

I used to play tournament-level Chutes and Ladders and can say definitively that those are chutes.

PhotoKirk posted:.22lr is pretty low pressure. The dumbest part of the ZIP 22 was the cocking mechanism being adjacent to the muzzle. There’s a lot of stuff in the Zip that’s still made of plastic that shouldn’t be, like the bolt that takes the force of firing. There’s also no extractor OR ejector, so the casings are expected to just sorta ricochet themselves out the ejection port by luck.
