What did they forget to account for thermal expansion (or rather contraction) when they designed the bridge that would be sitting in loving canadian winters? Cause it sure looks like the cables overstressed that joint and lifted the span up.

I'm like 90% certain that's an art installation, given the fan seems to have its own spotlight shining on it and only it.

Mr. Despair posted:The Energia stack was just a mock up, at least. Well that's not so bad, still sucks that we lost a cool space thing to lack of money. See also: skylab 2 and the two unflown Saturn Vs that were fully built and ready to go. at least those are all still around in museums.

In a typical house? Not much. However, considering the house was wired without a ground, I imagine there may be other issues that would cause high ground current, at least for the thin walls of a steel tube not designed for current.

A guy in AI a while back worked on a car where the ABS module failed in such a way that it shorted to ground... that ground being the rear brake line. It was glowing brightly when he lifted it up, and rusted to poo poo once he disconnected the battery (the other lines were shiny and the car was decently new iirc). Brake fluid is pretty drat flammable, though obviously not generally explosive.

In Florida we run ceiling vents only as you'd expect. If circulation's bad due to blowing hot air into the top of the room, you just get a fan going, for the two nights a year it's an issue.

My current unit is on the south end not just of the building, but the whole complex, so there's not even a hint of shade from other buildings. Top floor, too. My bedroom, however, gets uncomfortably cold a lot of the time; it's shaded and out of the sun, and my roommate blasts the a/c continuously because the rest of the unit the vents can't keep up with incoming heat. So my room gets so cold I occasionally have to go wash my hands/feet just to warm them up. The crappy construction tale I guess is poor ventilation balancing/insulation, and the vents whistle when "closed" and don't cut the airflow down much anyway so there's not much I can do about it short of telling him to just suffer. At least we've got a pretty generous utility cap built into the rent.

This is from 10,000 pages back but w/ethere wolf posted:This just makes me wonder if anyone has ever tried to fake floorboards/joists on their ceiling for a more rustic look. At my mom's, not only are there fake foam beam joists, they are actually covering up real 2xwhatever ceiling joists that protrude through the ceiling, as we found out when we attempted to take one down to see how it'd look. This was for a quick remodel, and she didn't want to re-do the ceiling texture (which was left smooth under the foam beams and looked like rear end exposed), so we ended up leaving them. At least now they're the same cream color as the walls, unlike the original poo poo brown which stuck out like a sore thumb against the white ceiling. Why the joists stick down like that is beyond me. Maybe the ceiling was originally lower before being raised to its current 8' height? Who knows.

Here (FL, but I know a lot of US states are similar) it's the exact opposite. Schools are ranked by standardized testing results, and the schools that do the best get the most funding. Which is loving asinine, clearly the schools doing badly need more help than the ones already doing well, right? But nope, the smooth, quiet wheel gets the grease.

Blue Footed Booby posted:It's a feedback loop. First maintenance gets away from you because you can't muster the energy. Then you feel ashamed of the state of your home, but a part of you won't let yourself fix it, because it believes you deserve to be ashamed, because you are poo poo. The prospect of fixing the problems becomes more and more daunting, and that validates your inaction, since you couldn't have fixed it even at the beginning. Because you are poo poo. From personal experience, 1000% this. I have to take a weekend every once in a while and just get my apartment back into a civilized state; on a daily basis, it's just a bunch of "gently caress it i'll wash this pot tomorrow/do a load of laundry/throw out these empty frozen food boxes, i feel too lovely to do it right this second" and before you know it the sink's piled with dishes and there's food wrappers all over the counter, etc etc. And I've got a half-decent handle on my depression, I'm nowhere near the worst about this sort of thing.
