yes the 101 is impressive

I just looked it up, the ball is the real ball. not a model on display.

but the bottom is supported by hydraulic stuff so it doesn't look like its moving

yes the hydraulic suspensions

I am just questioning their size compared to the size of the ball

its protection seems somewhat limited though

the hydraulic suspensions seem to be there to limit the movement of the ball so that it doesn't swing out of control

The ball may provide ample suspension from horizontal quakes but the same can't be said for quakes with a lot of vertical movement

if theres vertical movement shits fucked no matter what you do, thankfully thata pretty rare

another small quake right now.

poor Hualien tbh

Also Taiwan looks like a sweet potato

🤔

a sweet potato can look like anything

yes but the typical sweet potato is longish and slightly curved like that

no offense intended but please consider for a moment

lol

Is that your home?

Yeah. Fresh cracks

Do you live in a tall building?

somewhat. but this is pretty common

the cracks keep forming between plaster wall dividers

if it were concrete walls i'd be in trouble

Sure, doesn't look cool anyway

i have bad feeling another large earthquake soon.

this is how people here feel 24/7

stay safe fella

get it inspected. It could be something simple like external damage on the plaster layer (assuming reinforced concrete structure with masonry walls)

if you're renting, move out ASAP

@ferongr you've clearly never been to Taiwan

When I met my gf in Taiwan the first time, her student dorm had 2-3cm cracks and you could see the bricks

its a hipstery design element at that point

The first time I met the boyfriend of my wife, it put some cracks in my self-esteem
