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

@Alfadir <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

yep cracks are everywhere lol

but its fine as long as the key foundation parts of the building are strong

@transience you'll find that the network hardware wasn't at fault there

something further upstream went shitty

probably all 3 providers rely on the same fibre backhaul and some retard fucked shit up back there

that's the point I was making

if an earthquake nukes BT, GSM is no good for me

now on the topic of redundancy

usually you'd get handed over to another node in case of failure

But if all nodes go down as a result of the same error you're in deep shit

take nobody's infrastructure for granted in an autistic diaster scenario

Fair point

Here in Aust the ACMA make it a fucking law to have some sort of backup line for cell towers in case of emergencies

Some have fibre/fibre, some have fibre/HFC, some have fibre/ayydsl
