Gotta have the aesthetically pleasing hole when looking up from the ground floor. Oh whoops, that creates Problems with the second-floor layout...eh, not my problem when someone dies because they tried to take a shortcut instead of going the long way around.

It's a mall. You gotta make it as difficult as possible to get from one escalator to the other to maximise the number of storefronts the punters have to pass.

Except instead of just shrinking the store, they created what was basically a long, twisty corridor that forced you to walk past every department on your way from the parking lot into the mall proper.

You should be parking between L&T and Nordstrom anyway, that lot above the garage is always empty

I suppose a barely filled parking lot at Christmastime should have been my first clue.

On topic for this thread, I'm building up the courage to get an electrician out to do a proper inspection of our house. Among the most interesting things are a bedroom light than can only be turned on when the light is on in another bedroom, and a wall socket in the kitchen that appears to be on a 5A lighting circuit. (Found that one out when I was using a kettle and toaster at the same time and the fuse blew).

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Do you have any pictures of the dome, oculus, etc.?This is intriguing. I might have more on my external hard drive, but here's what I had on my phone. This is the two story window, the balcony, and the living room. It's heated with a wood stove right now. One day my uncle will get around to installing heated floors. He just adds to it whenever he has the time/money/help.    The oculus is impossible to photograph because it's all raw concrete and doesn't look curved in pictures. Just flat gray. This house has a name, too. Casa del Rio (there's a river behind all those trees).

If that's a fireplace, it has the world's weirdest placement. Is it maybe an arrow slit? Still very interesting placement.

I just want to understand why the bathroom fan rheostat clicking off causes the sound I/O in my studio to reboot 4/5 times. Except I rent, and my landlords are...landlords. So this will forever remain a mystery.
