Looks like the most susceptible areas are the mission district and the Oracle complex in redwood city

the densest metro in america is LA. there are very few tall buildings in LA or the surrounding communities. what they do have is miles and miles and miles of ugly 3- and 4-family houses ("dingbats") separated by strips of apartment blocks.

the problem in san francisco isn't that they haven't built high enough in the densest urban core (i think one transamerica pyramid is quite enough thank you). it's that they won't knock over the garbage detached homes in the presidio or the painted ladies or all the idiot 1950s garbage in palo alto

SF and the bay could stand to look a lot more like LA if they ever want to see middle class families living comfortably again

when i was a kid we had some family friends in nyc who lived in a 1br. they had a living room, a kitchen, the bedroom, and a bathroom. the dad and the son slept on separate beds in the bedroom, which was basically just the kid's room except at night, and the mom slept on a pull out couch in the living room.

to answer the immediate question, i have no idea

the central business district of your lovely small town is denser. the metro area is not.

i've always said that stymie is right, but in the wrong way or for the wrong reasons

but lately he's just been plain right. it's eerie.

The first nuclear power plant in the world was right outside Pittsburgh.

We also made all the reactors for Navy nukes at Bettis Laboratories.

I'm more amazed by the fact that any mechanical thing can rotate a metal shaft with 1 gigawatt of power

I'm guessing a gigawatt nuclear plant has multiple turbine+generator pairs or something

how the hell does that even work, like how do the turbine blades not get blasted off their welds? that's some serious loving torque, what with an entire Manhattan's worth of electrical load pushing back on the generator

Munkeymon posted:

I'mma guess the blades and rotors are milled out of solid blocks of titanium or whatever rather than welded together

50km from amersham takes you all the way to kidbrooke, are you sure that's what you mean when you said london proper

i rode the shanghai maglev. it was pretty ownage. 400kph is no joke, especially when passing 3 feet from a train going 400kph in the other direction

the joke is that the line ends in the middle of nowhere and is basically just a really fast leg of the subway system, which you have to take anyways to get from the airport (one end of the maglev) into town (like 10km past where the maglev ends)

it likewise ends 20km short of reaching the proposed station at other airport and 200km short of the intended destination of hangzhou, which is instead served by standard highspeed rail (that still does 350-400+ kph).

it's pretty ridiculous to say that instead of saying sexual harassment you should lie about why you left

basically, tell the truth. if they think it's a problem they were a poo poo company in the first place

god bless the steelers for being just an amazing team over the years, but my favorite historical fact is that the only reason they dont suck is because they took 3 million from the league to cross over into the AFC. before that they had (and still have problem) the record for worst season ever.

the steelers are funy footbal because ben rapistburger is a rapist.

it isn't about getting mad at the computer for being rude so much as a bunch of tone-deaf coders who are trying to create a one-size fits all approach to their user base because they're thinking of Facebook users as walking collections of data and not millions of individual human beings, some of whom may have had a terrible year
