Can't wait till that thing malfunctions and you end up with a lukewarm cat-piss-poo poo slurry being slowly agitated and swirled as the water level slowly rises, the granules floating at the top of a soup of cat waste wheeling like a cat-piss-poo poo nebula

Those granules have got to smell pretty good after getting soaked in pisswater a couple times

To be fair I have 2 of them. (My ex wife liked cats...I like them too)

As long as you break em down and clean them well once a year.. and run them directly to a waste drain as opposed to the weird toilet hook. They are pretty loving awesome. No litter box cleaning really, just little cat poo poo washing machines. I've had them for a few years anyways and any time they "break down" its usually just cleaning off the water sensor, and back in business. Never had the aforementioned cat-piss-poo poo nebula...

the granules slowly biodegrade, so you just top up a few times a year.

One of the related videos was someone who had it back up with two pounds of compacted un-dissolved cat poo poo in the hopper over the course if 6 months so I don't really know who to believe.

Most likely assumes machines are magical and work forever with no preventative maintenance. I dunno. Was just saying..

I sure wanted to see people arguing about stupid poo poo instead of posting crappy construction stuff.

Here's why concrete formwork strength is important. Fortunately no one died:
http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/12/federal_safety_officials_build.html



Apparently the formwork for the concrete parking deck they were pouring wasn't up to the task of holding up that much wet concrete. People forget that wet concrete is heavy as poo poo (about 1.5 tons per cubic yard) and won't support itself until it cures. It's wet and flows, so it's always worst at the bottom of the forms, too, since it acts somewhat like a water column.

Huh. Good poo poo to know as I was gonna dabble in some concrete projects this summer and didn't even think about how much that poo poo weighs.. I am always vastly intelligent. :smith:

Holy poo poo. loving goons gotta be all goony about everything.

So, my office is getting renovated and apparently no one checked the color of the new baseboards against the wall color. The wall is kind of a blueish grey, and the baseboards... well they are basically a sickly yellow. Its sad and looks nasty which i suppose is a crappy design tale thread topic, but if there is a thread like that its most likely full of smug bastards not like all you upstanding fine folks in here. Then I opened my server room door and found a 4000000 pound block of uranium which i used to secure my servers with laser rope.

Technology lets us be lazy:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cube+with+a+volume+of+5.82+cubic+feet

A 400 lb cube of average density (presumably dry) concrete, according to wherever Wolfram gets their data, would be slightly under 21.6 inches on each side. There is quite a range listed to density though, it could be halved or doubled from the median and still not be at either extreme.

dammit my urianum won't fit guys you might have caught me in a bit of a fabrication... I'll try to become a better example to others.

I don't know, assuming 8 feet floor to ceiling that block of uranium would have only needed to be a bit larger than 20x20 feet. It works well enough as long as by "server room" you meant datacenter and not closet where the servers and mops are. Bump it up to osmium and you cut it down to just over 18x18.

I totally meant osmium.

For fake realsies.

One of the old Superfriends episodes included a softball-sized fragment of neutron star that Superman ended up pitching into the sun at the end. If you weighed 100kg and stood 1m away from that thing, you'd experience a gravitational force of about 200 kilonewtons, or about 20400 gravities. Ouch. On the flipside, adding that much mass to the Sun wouldn't really affect it in any way, it'd just plunge to the center and sit there.

see this is a great educational derail

Could be, but it was also partially underneath the cabinets. Seems likely that at one point the entire kitchen was carpeted, then the island that the dishwasher was in was added, then the carpet ripped out because carpet in a kitchen is a terrible idea, and that little bit was left underneath the dishwasher.

were the bathrooms carpeted too?
