Well that sucks balls. (Note: in a bad way.)

Gotcha. Well then he’s a lying jerk and is totally off my Tuesday night kickball team!

Generally, I agree. Thanks for the link - read all the articles previously, of course. However, the threat of insecurity and incompetence can discourage someone right out of trying. I’m sure he’ll admit he’s wrong when he’s wrong, and move on. Why would any person spend much time admitting they might be wrong if…

In the meantime, the teen should probably develop a sense of humility. Science is hard, and often full of setbacks.

$500-600k? I guess they are televising the poors... My buddy bought a nice piece of property with a teardown POS... for $815k. I walked in and said “this is disgusting”. It smelled of death and neglect. You can’t walk on the deck because 50/50 it’s going to crumble beneath you so he uses plants to “wall off” the…

They actually do. It’s a problem, some places.

Why. Why do people let other people button the bottom button on a two-button jacket? I want to dieeeeeeeughhhh.

Good shit. After putting on about 40,000 miles on motorcycles over eight years (have a separate daily-driver, company-leased vehicle) in Los Angeles, I finally crashed it up going about 55mph, luckily in front of a Fire Station that responded immediately. Obviously. All by myself. Shit happens.

Haha touché. Not ready to admit my addictions just yet. Great family experience you’ve to draw from. Love buildings but I’m the only one in my family that went this direction. Thanks for well-wishes and many good luck to you.

Great response. Appreciated.

#acknowledged sorry for late reply was spending my time wisely at New Orleans Jazz Fest for a week.

tl;dr

OK I have to turn off my Justin Bieber spotify station to answer this one. First, I appreciate that you’ve made some thoughtful arguments. Will do my best to respond as a licensed Fire Protection Engineer with a little over 10 years of experience consulting to architects, AHJs, contractors and developers.

Looks like you already got torn up so I will stick to number 4 and point out that wood frame buildings are very common for 4-5 stories. It’s completely acceptable and has plenty of codes and standards to support it. Wood structures really aren’t under any significantly higher threat from fire than steel, once they’re…

So it's a slightly larger camelback? Used the camelback w/o the insert plenty of times for a small bag..

You can’t say “women,” Darren. Be more careful publishing your prejudice, you misogynist.

Is any of their technology patented and valuable? Seems like what they’ve developed is working well. Seems like you’ve invested a lot of mental energy here. Do they intend to direct sell their product / service?

Didn’t it take millions of years to go from cutting with stones to a modern butter knife? 16 years doesn’t seem unreasonable. Science is hard.
