Yeah...it was a bad joke based on similar statements said in all seriousness by right wing representatives bragging about how easy they made development, and how much they were pro business. Now that deaths are reported, I retracted it. I thought the building was empty when I wrote it.
That said, if it is a 'failure to meet code' issue, then at least the 'code enforcement' part would be on point, even if in extremely bad taste.

12 cm is huge if only some parts sank and others didn't. That's why I always found downtown Houston scary, all those high rises built before 90 are sinking at different rates. They have tunnels connecting some that were flat when built and now are all ramps, some too steep to use! Yikes!

They do have codes, Florida actually has some of the strictest building codes in the country. The building was actually being worked on and updated to meet additional local hurricane codes at the time of the collapse.

Every state has to meet the codes established by the ICC or one of the organizations that existed separately before they merged. The only city to ignore these codes and go completely by their own code is Chicago.


At the municipal level, the city can add more building codes to meet specific local hazards or weather. Miami/Dade has very strict hurricane codes that need to be met.

I suspect that we will find that the fault in this lies with the building owner failing to meet code or maintenance updates in a timely manner, as well as the fact that the building experienced subsidence in the amount of 12 cm between 1993 and 1999. This is not that unusual in structures built on barrier islands and it ceased sinking in 1999.

When you spend >2/5 of your presidency playing golf, and own multiple courses, you should be good at it......yet, Trump is a historical loser at golf, cheating every game, even against non golfers, playing terribly, and still doesn't even know the rules. He's like a two year old on the course, allowed to cheat because it's so obvious to all that he couldn't ever sink a ball otherwise (most courses have a maximum number of hits before you are supposed to walk off the hole) and no one wants to see another Trump temper tantrum over nothing.


Such a mush brained moron you are. Every single person who's ever played golf with Trump was astonished with the level of cheating he does. It's well documented, well known, and so ridiculous from a club owner, it only makes him unbelievably insecure.
You don't see Trump doing this for a few reasons, mostly because he (or his cheat tool/caddy) would have tossed the ball onto the green and not counted a stroke....then driven onto the green to fail at putting. There's a reason Trump wouldn't let the press film him play.

You really love looking like a delusional moron for Trump, don't you? Dominion is coming for you, better donate everything to Trump's defense lawyers before they take it all.

Saw this a while back on YouTube - plenty of professional electricians in the comments there who say they got so many callbacks on Wago, but never for wire-nut.

Personally I've had one fail (I didn't install it though) - my bathroom which was partially remodeled < 2 years prior, the light above the sink started flickering randomly. I checked each bulb, they were fine, so I opened up the switch box - and there were some of those Wago-style (a cheaper knock-off I suspect) that were quite loose when tugged. So I removed them, used wire-nuts, and it's been totally stable since.
The other benefit to wire-nuts is that twisting the copper wires around each other greatly increases the contacting surface area. (the surface of a wire is where the electrons/holes flow)

I get the feeling from you that if you were on the Titanic you would be the guy that puts a scarf over his head to get a seat in the lifeboat.

Mexico is a sinking ship and we are the closest lifeboat around.

Take your scarf off and man up.

I'm an Apple hater. I hate its business practice, greed that's way above and beyond the norm, hubris, closed eco-system, terrible OS, dumb/outdated design (but marketed to shit as "intuitive/elegant") on and on I can go, but one thing I can't fairly hate is its hardware build and material.

I don't see much wrong (other than "not optimal") with the heat sink/fan distance here. The way the fins are aligned do allow air flow to direct to the fan. Takes a fraction of a second to generate the wind tunnel effect, and all the components between the fan & heatsink just need to be able to withstand the heat, and they surely do.

It's easy to see why they do it. That's "height". Apple want to make the Air as thin as possible, they can't do that by stacking 4 components together.

Not just his gardens....they’re burrowing under his house. I think his tune is going to change when his foundation starts sinking unevenly and his house falls apart.

I'm waiting for the outbreak of sinkholes in the central valley, California. They've pumped so much water from the aquifers for farming that the entire valley is now sinking. It can't be long before sinkholes are a major problem there too, but there it will be a man made problem, not a natural one.

Wow! That's a lot to digest. I kinda get it only because the math is not my specialty. I'll have to watch it a few more times for the illustrations to sink in. The curved space time thing is new for my brain to think about.

It's just nice to know I'm not magnetically attractive even though I have iron in my blood. Too bad I'm probably still attractive to wild animals because I do have blood.
