"field"
oh
not intentional, actually
why are Taiwanese people so depressive?
not depressive, just too laid back
"this is good enough"
etc.
i am too but i mean, that's just how it is
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
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
I just wonder how much the suspensions actually help
I mean if the building starts moving
I was up at the observation deck during an earthquake once
that must have been super exciting
did the ball move?
i just wonder if you even felt anything
no i couldn't see any apparent moving
that one we could see is a model on display actually
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
