Art table milled from a 400kg slab of aluminium

Arkaium says...

Aesthetically, I, too, would prefer the clean lines of a table closer resembling the aluminum before the whole carving process began.

That said, sometimes what makes something worthy of appreciation isn't so much its final form as it is the knowledge and understanding of how hard it would be to achieve the same result on one's own. For example, I don't care for old fashioned furniture, with all those little details and flourishes. I'm much more of a utilitarian, clean lines kind of guy. But if I come across something with undeniable workmanship, or something I know took a lot of time or special effort to make, I can't help but appreciate it. I just would never put it in my house.

I also see people mentioning Occam's razor, which would be the "simplest, most probable" explanation. I'm sorry but if you are outside and see a steel building collapse at free fall speed, symmetrically, and into it's own footprint are you really going to think,
"Hmm, looks like some burning office furniture must have annihilated that entire building"
or are you going to think,
"Hey look, a controlled demolition"

Well if the building looked perfectly fine, you'd think controlled demolition. If it'd been on fire for half the day and had several floors demolished you'd think it was the fire and physical damage. Is that so hard to grasp?

I don't see how Occam's Razor applies any differently to WTC 7. It received serious blast damage from the collapse of WTC 1. It was on fire on at least 10 floors. Emergency crews had been ordered clear of the building fearing the it might collapse. When it collapses what is the simplest explanation?

1.The visible blast damage and fires caused the collapse.
2.Explosives planted before the blast and fires were triggered causing the collapse.
3.Miniature welding robots planted around the steel columns caused the collapse.
4.An inter-dimensional rift briefly opened within the buildings support columns, severing them and causing the collapse.

One thing that keeps repeating in this thread is the idea that planes were a factor. WTC 7 was not hit by a plane and it collapsed symmetrically into it's own footprint. I also see people mentioning Occam's razor, which would be the "simplest, most probable" explanation. I'm sorry but if you are outside and see a steel building collapse at free fall speed, symmetrically, and into it's own footprint are you really going to think,

"Hmm, looks like some burning office furniture must have annihilated that entire building"

"Hey look, a controlled demolition"

I think it should be pretty obvious which is the "conspiracy theory" and which is the simpler explanation. The logistics of someone rigging a building really have no bearing on the mechanics of the collapse - that is a separate body of evidence altogether. I'm not saying it was an inside job I'm just saying what it looks like and what is to me the simpler explanation (from a mechanical perspective only). I can't make a clear argument on intention or logistics because honestly, nobody in this thread can be sure what the government is really capable of.

They didn't specifically test for pre-planted terrorist agents with arc welders cutting the buildings support beams either, but why should they?


Because if this video isn't omitting fundamental parts of the NIST report, the theory of structural failure fails to explain significant evidence, including the molten steel girders, the yellow molten substance (which seems unlikely to have been aluminum with burning furniture), the white flashes and the iron microspheres.

By selectively discarding evidence, an otherwise weak theory can be promoted as the most plausible explanation. For example, if we discard nonrelativistic phenomena, Newtonian physics fit observation quite well.

But as I said, I'm terribly unqualified to take a position on this issue. I have an easy job being a skeptic because whenever I see the media being horribly incompetent when decrying "truthers", I have the tendency of taking the opposing side. I should at the very least read the NIST report.

Lady Eats Seven Couches and Two Chairs in Her Lifetime

Gallowflak says...

Okay... It's easy to understand having a weird craving or addiction, but... Doesn't there come a point at which you should think to yourself, "jesus, I really shouldn't be eating all the fucking furniture!"?

If I gave in to every craving I have, I'd probably be dead and/or arrested.

Last semester, I take some garbage out to the dumpster. On my way back, I am looking down at my phone while following the sidewalk. Side walk turns left, I turn left. Up the steps, turn left again to my door. I open the door, finally look up from my phone, see three people I don't recognize staring at me and think "oh, my roommates have company over. Odd that I didn't notice them drive by". I step inside, shut the door, they're still staring at me, nobody says anything. I notice all the furniture is different and what goes through my head is "wow, they changed the furniture in the two minutes I was outside?" I stand there for what felt like hours trying to figure out what's going on, wondering if I had just stepped into the twilight zone. All of us are still silent, just staring at each other. Then I realized I was in the wrong apartment.


That happens to me all the time... and I don't even have a cell phone.

Sounds like a good beginning storyline for a porno.
