Has there ever been an Engineering kino made?
Mothman Prophecies
Do americans seriously call the 1st floor "2nd floor"?
>>214464951damn, that's a good answer.
>>214465012Are Europeans so poor their lobbies are just packed dirt?
>>214465072What?
>>214465012Both are right
>>214464927Where's John Wick
can any architectbro explain if what this crazy bugger thought of is even remotely feasible? does it simply violate laws of physics or is there a possibility of it being a reality?
primer counts i think
>>214464927Why'd they do it?
>>214465012Explain in detail why a ground level surface of a structure would not be considered a “floor”
>floor 13, never heard of it Anon!Why are americans so afraid of a number?
>>214465302That's cool af
>>214464927Kansas City also had that water slide that decapitated a 12 year oldWhat a shithole
>>214465471It is, it's the ground floor. The first floor is the floor above the ground floor.
>>214464927Post the webm.
>>214465572How is the first floor not the floor you'd logically enter first?
>>214464927>Has there ever been an Engineering kino made?natgeo has plenty of engineering shows
>>214465599The ground floor is the 0th floor. Do you not understand basements? Why does it go B1F everywhere in the world instead of B0F first if you start on the first floor?
>>214465646Because it's one floor below the first floor.Simple as
>>2144656661 minus 1 would be zero. The first basement floor should be the 0th floor according to Americans, and yet it isn't, which makes their naming inconsistent. I'm on B5F, and I go up 7 floors. What floor am I on? In civilized countries, I'm on the 2nd floor. In America, I'm on the 3rd floor.
>>214465425>be engineer >play god over people's lives>get away with it
>>214465695>how many stories is that building?>oh, 0>ah yes it only has the 0th floor
>>214466078It's a 1 story building, it has 1 floor, the ground floor. If you could walk on the roof, the roof would be the first floor, but Americans believe there is a 2nd floor to a 1 story building.
>>214464951fpbp out of fucking nowhere
>>214466204>the roof would be the first floorI'm gonna stop you right here
>>214465302That's kinda like the Las Vegas Sphere and a scaled-up Capitol Building. Check out the Roman Pantheon. They built that marvel 1900 years ago, with non-reinforced concrete, when most of the world was living in stick houses.
>>214464927>Has there ever been an Engineering kino made?Only the best film in modern history!

>>214465599>How is the first floor not the floor you'd logically enter first?Now apply this logic to a house built into a hill, or a building reached through a bridge etc.
>>214466557Go to bed, Francis
>>214465012Thinking about us AGAIN lol
>>214465302hm looks familiar
>>214466711>brown faggot thinks nazis invented neoclassical architecture
>>214465302You couldn't make that from stone and cement. The weight would be too heavy. Even with our current tech it wouldn't be possible. In the top two images that structure is surrounded by adult trees dwarfing humans. The only way to build large structures is with light weight material. This was a mausoleum dedicating to Isaac Newton. It's design was that in the day it would be dark inside with the ceiling having specific holes drilled in to match the night sky and at night the light would be reflected to illuminate the entire inside like it was day.
>>214464927does Primer count?
>>214466557Go back to the cluuub, Francis
>>214465695B1 would indicate it's the first floor of the basement. There is no floor 0.Simple stuff, really.
>>214464927Hey I instantly recognized the scenario in OP image.Im AuDHDistic and disasters are something of a special interesthttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse
>>214465570His father is a legislator for the party that loathes regulations. He did get some passed afterwards, only after it affected him directly of course. Considering how the park owners were previously lobbying to keep things lax, he was probably on the take for his own son's decapitation.
>>214466730>White nazi getting mad at another white nazi but can't believe a white person could ever make a mistake.
>>214465302In Tartarian society this would have had a function, but as is, we just copy their designs without any of the practical use.
>>214465012I wish we used the American floor method.
>>214465012If I walk into a building and decide to count the floors, I start with the one I'm standing on. Pretty simple. Do Brits have 13th floors? Almost all US buildings skip from 12 to 14.
>>214466912dont even understand this schizophrenic dribble
>>214465646Ah yes, my single story building has 0 floors!
>>214464927For the unfamiliar, this is basically what happened.
>>214464927Didn’t this collapse and kill a bunch of dudes
>>214465302it could be made
>>214467221They say that the first step is the hardest, but for the Br*tish the zeroth step is the hardest.
>>214465471because floors are a later concept. initially homes only had what you call a ground floor. it was called "the house/hut". so when you add something on top you number the things on top.ground floor - 1st upper floor - 2nd upper floor...
>>214467223So the bolt failed not the rod? Because the bolt was holding the weight of two bridges vs just the one it was designed for?
>>214465570Reading the official court document is as good as reading a movie script, it's so entertaining just getting the dry facts because the guy who made that slide was such a crazy fucker. Man. I wish I had the PDF saved still, he was pulling shit for years before the kid got decapitated that just never got registered by cops. It's such a great story, truth is strange than fiction.
>>214464927I stayed at this hotel back in 2012. It was weird looking out at the lobby and thinking it was a scene of mass death. I think I even remember seeing sort of attachment points on the wall where the skywalks used to be, but I may be misremembering that.
>>214465302Structural designer here.I don't know what the top right is supposed to be but there's nothing else in the picture that hasn't already been built at a smaller scale.It would be expensive but the designs use strong geometry, difficult to build but stable once built.
>>214467594YesThe rod was supposed to hold both bridges. Each bolt holding only one bridge. But since they hung one bridge from the other the bolt was holding two bridges.
>>214467351Interesting how you use the starting point as 0 in this example and the first movement as 1 but when it comes to floors you think the starting point should be 1 and the first movement as 2. That's Americans for you I suppose
>>214467908>The building itself was a 1500 metres (4900 feet) tall sphere, ten times taller than the Great Pyramids of Giza,[1] encompassed by two large barriers circled by hundreds of cypress trees. The massive, spherical shape of the building was inspired by Boullée's own study called "theory of bodies" where he claims that the most beautiful and perfect natural body is the sphere, which is the most prominent element of the Newton Memorial.[2] Though the structure was never built,[1] Boullée had many ink and wash drawings engraved and circulated widely within professional circles in 1784.[1]
>>214467986It's making fun of the fact that a lack of a step isn't a step.Your argument is that I can take zero steps, and be one step closer to my destination.
>>214465012The American nomenclature has always seemed more sensible to me for this particular issue
>>214468128Must be American coded
>>214465572imagine a structure with subgrade levels. What do you call the floor below this "ground floor"?
>>214466035>Be engineer>Design shit a specific way>Construction fag thinks he knows better & builds it differently >Surprise it collapsed
>>214468168B1F, Basement 1st Floor. AKA first floor under the ground
>>214466791it's science, and fiction at that
>>214468063>zero indexed numbering systemmakes the programmer in me happy>13th floor omitted because of superstitious idiots[screaming internally]
>>214468184I know a guy who is office level construction, and all he does is bitch about how Mexicans just say "es ok" every time he points out that they didn't build to speculation.
>>214465012The ground floor on every elevator at least in europe is called floor " 0 ". I would like to know what do burgers call the ground floor in their elevators?
>>214468219Usually you do not build based on speculation
>>214468284Yeah, I saw that after I posted. Started to reply to myself with the typo corrected, but said fuck it.>>214468266Usually the elevator with be a L for lobby, or just a 1.
>>214468266It is not
>>214468266>everyAs if you've been to every single country in europe. Though I've seen both used here, but for once I prefer the way americans do it
>>214468266>US321 (Ground Level)-1/B1-2/B2-3/B3>Europe321G (Ground Level)-1/B1F-2/B2F-3/B3F
>Indians invent the concept of 0>British take pride in having a 0th floorReally joggins the noggins.
>>214468366You idiot, that's South America.
>>214465570>put up a cage and net because the rafts are prone to leaving the track>the 'safety' device decapitates a kid instead
>>214466850this used to be posted here often, similar to the blackbox recordings, DeltaP video, and nutty putty cave disaster. not to burst your bubble, just trying to save you future embarrassment
>>214468366>150% times
>>214468317>>214468266not true, for example i know for certain that in norway, the ground floor is 1. in austria, it's 0 (more commonly "E") though, and 1 is the first one up.t. austrian whos recently been to norway
>>214465572unless its at sea level its wrong to call it a "ground" floor
>>214468546but that's retarded
>>214468491Not embarassed at all, both things are true! dialeticallyHappy to see other morbidly curious disaster fans. Each one is like a puzzle
>>214466204What?A one-story building has one floor.A two-story building has two floors, what we in the U.S. call the 1st and 2nd floors.We do not "believe" there is a 2nd floor to a one-story building. Stop your sperging.
>>214468546what?has nothing to do with itit would be called a sea floor
>>214468589based
Guys, it's a holdback to when the British had to literally live on the ground because they were all peasants and shit. The America's having been colonized by the superior man don't consider the ground part of the building. We put floors in our building which go on top of the ground.
>>214467908>>214467979I appreciate (You)s
>>214468613>sea floorthis thread has gone off the rails>>214468630honestly with american units being as retarded as they are i'm surprised they dont start counting floors from the top down
>>214468630Yes, but that's only because you guys stole the African architectural technology.
>>214468613>>214468657You don't understand! We're going to live under the sea!
>>214468168-1
>>214465471it's level 0
If the first level is supposed to be 0, why does Super Mario start on 1 - 1 and not 0 - 0?
>>214465012SEE YOU IN SUB BASEMENT LEVEL 3 AFTER I PILE DRIVE YOU THERE BROTHER
>>214464927What am I looking at?The bottom floor holding both floors?
>>214464927A close one would be the last episode of Chernobyl, with the step by step of the explosion.Too bad it's the worst episode of the serie.

>>214469090What a blast from the past
>>214469090Unironically checking the real movie out now because of that TF2 video.
>>214465302>https://youtu.be/UVg5Mnj02zA
>>214468905top floor is holding both floors + the bottom floor is held by a single bolt per connection
>>214465082The 2nd level of the structure having the 1st floor of the building can only be interpreted as the 1st level having no floor.
>>214469412The ground level has no floor. When you go outside, do you ask people what "floor" you're on? The absolute minimum to create a 1 story house is a roof, no floor required. Why does the dirt pile under your roof suddenly become the first floor just because you put a roof over it?
zombie apocalypse survival theme show where the focus is solely on building tools machines walls pouring concrete and shit to survive and tech up, milling drills agriculture ovens pottery claylike the walking dead where the guy starts making bulletsplease universe please please please
>>214469445I understand now. In America we tend to install flooring material over the dirt on the first level, hence the difference in floor numbering.
>>214469879If I put flooring on the ground outside, does that area become a "first floor"?
that Mark Wahlberg movie about Deepwater Horizon (also the name of the movie) is actually very enjoyableI recommend it.

>>214466557What gives you the right to post in the riches of my emersonian thread?
>>214465570>Kansas CityBefore that and the Hyatt collapse the Kemper Arena's roof collapsed there as well, luckily no one was inside
>>214469445> When you go outside, do you ask people what "floor" you're on? If there were multiple floors, you would
>>214470905Never knew about this. Went to Kemper Arena to watch hockey games as a kid.Apparently it's Hyvee Arena now and got converted into a "youth sports and community gym".

>>214469319Its really good but last third of the movie has a very sharp tonal shift, felt like somebody meddled in to have a proper ending with right message so people didn't get cute ideas from it.
>>214471166Just finished it. The whole time I was rooting for the badguy. When I IMDB'd the movie to look up one of the actors, I checked the user reviews, and they are almost all the exact same reaction. I rather enjoyed it. Was decently entertaining even if the ending was a disappointment.
>>214465471It's usually different from the others, so it makes sense to call it the ground floor and then comes the first of the non-ground floors.Some regions take it even further and call the floor above the ground floor the Main Floor because it's the most expensive. Thus you've got Ground Floor, Main Floor, then First Floor, Second Floor...
>>214471166kek this, the ending is so forced
>>214469945Does a building that is only the ground level, walls, and ceiling/roof, have one or zero floors?
>>214471545One>t. air conditioner owner
>3+>2 or Mezzanine>1 or Lobby or Ground>B1>B2+
>>214471545No, like you said a building needs a roof before it counts as a building.
>>214471587He mentioned a roof you retard
>>214471545A house with only a ground floor is absent of floors. Floors only exist as a point of comparison away from the true state of man, it's only when you build a floor above or below neutral ground that you possess floors.
>>214471579That's like counting from -2 to 3 and skipping 0 for no reason.
>>214471681>has a floor>is absent of floorsBongs, everyone.
