Pssst, these were people who worked there. Ya know, for a living. To like, feed their families and pay rent and shit.

Pretty sure if a company offered you decent job that you'd probably do the normal thing of giving them your social insurance number.

Or, ya know, health insurance. That shits pretty good to have too.

Actually, getting out and switching elevators is exactly what happens in buildings this tall. They are called sky lobbies. They do this for the exact purpose of being able to stack elevators and reduce the amount of space in the building they take up. For example, the John Hancock building in Chicago has a sky

On extremely high buildings it's common to have all your elevators operate from the ground floor. The "upper floor" elevators just speed past the lower floors and only service their respective sections. The inverse is more of an issue. Your lower level servicing cars don't have shafts that go all the way to the top,

Your calculation for the space used by the elevators makes no sense. Elevator shafts would only be on the floors they serve. The elevator shafts for the upper floors would not go all the way to the ground floor. In fact, the elevator shafts can even be stacked, so you would basically have one entire column, from

I'm not saying this was totally inspired by "Grandma's Boy." But this was totally inspired by "Grandma's Boy."

when crazy eyes showed up I lost it. perfect.

Correct. Also, the MiG 19's vertical stabilizer (what you might call a tail. I know I would otherwise :D) has that kink towards the root, whereas the MiG 17's vertical stabilizer is a single large vertical stabilizer. Also the horizontal stabilizers on the 17 are located towards the upper part of the vertical

The MiG would be a MiG -19 the wing sweep more than a -15 or -17 has.

we've had "instant freeze" coke machines in Hong Kong for a few years now... it's pretty fun the first few times...

Seems like just putting it in a decent case like an Otterbox would have solved most of these problems.

although card skimmers on ATMs and gas pumps are still a fairly rare occurrence, this is definitely a good piece of advice. It takes ten seconds to pull on the reader and look at other readers at the pumps (or other ATMs if there's a row of them). I've gotten into the habit of it lately myself, it's such a small

I believe that scene was actually in the movie "Wanted" and they were in a lace factory.

Would have been good to have the air pump in the other tank, just to be proper scientific about it...

I am simultaneously proud and annoyed to see this. I'm proud because it's based on a premise by me and co-written by me and one of my oldest and best friends, Kameron Gates, by whom it was also masterfully directed. It's a Vimeo staff pick and won the Jury Award for Minute Movie at this summer's Animation Block Party

He even included an easter egg - the 3-eyed fish is peeking out from the sewer, so cool!!

I'm in California and have west facing panels. Good for the grid, but also good for me because the power company (PG&E) buys our excess wattage at a much higher price during the afternoon. That was all considered before we installed, in 2007. If I remember correctly, we had to elect that plan... Maybe other

Yeah, if I put up Solar power, I am going to generate the most energy for the price, and I'll feed the damn grid. Solar is already a hard sell without encouraging people to install less efficient systems just to compensate for peak demand in the afternoons.
