it loaded for me a few minutes ago
I went to a presentation of them
sick stuff they're doing
earth quakes are a huge energy source
imagine if we could absorb that
with your qt little island shaking like that, if we could absorb the energy, you could power your night markets for years
I think it's a super exciting field
and yet we know so little about it
nice pun, i saw that^
what pun?
`Super exciting field`
"field"
oh
not intentional, actually
why are Taiwanese people so depressive?
not depressive, just too laid back
"this is good enough"
etc.
I mean is kinda true
If you're in a building that will collapse, then youre fucked already
depends on the strength of the earthquake, the building and your luck
you might just be trapped for a few days
you have like, 5 seconds to get out if the quake is large enough to seriously damage your building
Assuming you fall with the building and the building is not a 10+ story building or something like that
You might be trapped in the crashed building
a few bottles of water and a radio might save your life
are there anti earthquake building standards in taiwan?
yes, putting empty barrels of oil into the walls
hah
some of the best in the world if what i've been told is correct
but yeah, that too
@porco true, I have my abandoned building exploration bag ready for emergnecies
have you ever seen the Taipei 101s earthquake "defense" system?
you can take the lift up and see that huge ball
I went there once, was impressive
lmao giant red ball in the middle of the buiulding . sounds funny at first, but its an engineering masterpeice
lol
it actually is
