That's so cool. As someone who knows almost nothing about construction, I had always pictured I-beams being strong the other way (like an H), since it's like they're two beams next together, like regular floor joists or whatever. But that actually makes a lot of sense the the top and bottom of the I shape are resisting compression and tension that occurs as the result of a load.

It's the same concept as putting a fuller in the blade of a sword. You are making a blade that is stronger for its finished weight than a blade without a fuller. Since I'm familiar with that, I'm surprised I didn't think about how I-beams work sooner.

Doesn't that make the requirement even dumber then? What's the point of mandating that one light gets turned off with a vacancy sensor if the end result is that people who want to work around it will just install more lights?

It means that entities that have absolutely no self-interest-incentive to install power-saving devices will do so. Okay, that does make sense.

I can't believe that the technology to use heat or air conditioning to keep your house within a certain range is too complex to be standard by now. Get up in the middle of the night because it's 50 degrees in my house, set it to 68. Get up and go to school. Come home to find it's 75.

Right, but falling through the air is how most drops of hot water lose their heat. So if the air is warm, the falling drops will lose less heat, since with a lower temperature difference the rate of exchange will be lower.

Slugworth posted:A mirrored tub? Look, if you wanna stick your bare rear end inside a parabolic mirror, that's between you and your God. Personally I don't feel like having to get skin grafts on my taint. The focal point of a parabolic reflector is... not on its surface. And your rear end will be on its surface, blocking light from the reflector so it never gets to the focal point anyway. Unless of course the ceiling mirror causes something like this...

Visually clean is exactly what I meant. Pristine stainless looks great, but even just humidity will cause it to lose its luster relatively quickly. It's an excellent choice for keeping things sanitary, but that's not why interior designers choose it. They choose it because of what it looks like when it's been polished. The average person who live with one for awhile will eventually notice that their kitchen doesn't look like that without putting quite a bit of effort into it. Stainless is still a great choice, but it's misrepresented and mismarked by designers as a "a simple way to make your kitchen look great." I have polished a poo poo-load of stainless in my life.

I think you guys are totally missing the point of what I'm saying. It's marketing. The rise of stainless as an interior decorator's and real-estate agent's dream is a result of the pristine appearance. Normally, in marketing, things that hide dirt sell well. Because they don't look dirty. I'm not actually saying that stainless is bad. I never did. I'm saying that the decorator and real-estate agent love-affair with stainless will fade as people realize that it takes work to keep it looking that good, as opposed to other options which hide dirt. I'm not saying that hiding dirt is desirable, I'm saying that stainless will stop inflating value when people realize that keeping up its appearance is actually higher maintenance.
