Can anybody explain this drawing of column 79?
They say it's buckling to the east. So we're looking at it from the south?
Are those three columns to the left supposed to be perimeter columns?
It's a pretty picture, but it sure doesn't explain itself very well.
I have no idea what you are talking about...

1. If you bother to look at the report. It actually tells you

right next the to image that the view is from the Southeast. Geez.
After you look you might try reading it
well, Duh.

4. Unlike some people around here, I try to figure things out for myself.
So... when I found that image I looked at the image, not at the label
that was telling me what I was looking at.
After looking at it 'til I was cross-eyed, I still couldn't figure it
out, and I missed the text on the label.
Nobody's answered my question. Are those perimeter columns to the left?
So do we have sections of floors hanging on the exterior of the
perimeter columns?
I give you a pretty picture to look at and you girls just want to gossip
about me. Sheesh!
I doubt petgoat reads the direction on the side of the carton...

20. The diagram is completely ****ed
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 04:20 PM by petgoat
If those columns on the left are core columns, why are they not labeled as such,
and why didn't they include the other ones, and why is their spacing from column
81 inconsistent with their spacing from each other? Why don't they go all the
way to the ground? What are those girders from 5 to 9 across the the front?
This drawing makes no sense, it's nothing but a pretty picture of devastation,
and you want to make smug assertions that it's my fault.
Again, no clue what petgoat is trying to say. Hell, he/she/it may not even know...

55. Stop your posing. My spatial reasoning quotient has been tested at the 99th percentile.
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 02:25 PM by petgoat
The tester said he'd never seen a score so high.
You, in defending that incomprehensible mash, are demonstrating your slavish
admiration of the emperor's clothes.
Please identify the three columns to the left. Please explain why they don't
go to the bottom of the picture.
Why is it that the DUmp is only full of the top 99% of the countries elite?

68. Exactly.
The extent of petgoat's technical abilities has long been obvious. Clearly his skill with MS Paint is superior to the NIST's use of ANSYS/FDS.

73. I made those drawings in two minutes because I saw no reason to pretty them up.

IMHO they illustrate the relevant concepts perfectly well,
and are obvious to anyone who can think visually and has
an understanding of practical physics.

133. Seriously, petgoat...
... it seems you've totally lost it. Seek professional help.
Amen, brother, amen.
