the other problem with I beams is that they are easier to scale than tubes
@xorgy well no, but two braces and a single i-beam between them covers a lot
With all this grass root fundraising, the big winner is gofundme, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
maybe I beams are the better choice where ramming is a primary concern, and we can afford to patrol
@Misomania what about a T beam?
(with sharpened edges?)
you can have standard rampart then with a braced triangle on the inside, and slats on the wall on the outside
then any force on it is distrubted along the beam on the back then sent to the ground
I think it's okay to have a horizontal support if it is low

yeah, that's helpful for ramming

there we go, took a while to position
Hui, Tim is a pro Wall person 😉
they could pull it still, but that is less likely
@Misomania I mean, you could do a tensile anchor at the base of the support as well
@Abel i reported that to the twatter trust and safety team
@Misomania I'm going to mock this up a bit
try to figure out the material weight and whatnot
toss it out there and see what people think of the design
If it works in Israel it will work here.
Yup
Man has been building walls for thousands of years
@Misomania I think the variable thickness extrusions could make it considerably cheaper, materials wise, and make it simpler to customize for different situations
also maybe some sort of plastic shell over the supports could make it difficult to hook
like a round shell
to make hooks glance off
I wonder if I could eat a standard MRE after my appointment. Crackers are considerably soft.
the sheet metal I used to work with was also surprisingly resiliant when honeycombed as well, and damn that stuff was sharp like razors naturally
Bees are beautiful creatures
Anyone who’s allergic to them should be shot
Same with peanut butter
sheet metal edges are as sharp as a scapel, had my thumb sliced open once by a sheet by just touching it as it was moving
agree
and yes, was wearing an extremely thick pair of safety gloves. Sheet metal is just that sharp
hmm
@Misomania as for ramming, I think there's a simpler way to prevent that
