the other problem with I beams is that they are easier to scale than tubes

2018-12-22 00:30:52 UTC  

@xorgy well no, but two braces and a single i-beam between them covers a lot

2018-12-22 00:31:04 UTC  

With all this grass root fundraising, the big winner is gofundme, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

2018-12-22 00:31:06 UTC  

maybe I beams are the better choice where ramming is a primary concern, and we can afford to patrol

2018-12-22 00:31:26 UTC  

@Misomania what about a T beam?

2018-12-22 00:31:53 UTC  

(with sharpened edges?)

2018-12-22 00:32:03 UTC  

you can have standard rampart then with a braced triangle on the inside, and slats on the wall on the outside

2018-12-22 00:32:32 UTC  

then any force on it is distrubted along the beam on the back then sent to the ground

2018-12-22 00:32:59 UTC  

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

2018-12-22 00:35:17 UTC  

Hui, Tim is a pro Wall person 😉

2018-12-22 00:35:19 UTC  

they could pull it still, but that is less likely

2018-12-22 00:35:49 UTC  

@Misomania I mean, you could do a tensile anchor at the base of the support as well

2018-12-22 00:35:54 UTC  

@Abel i reported that to the twatter trust and safety team

2018-12-22 00:36:00 UTC  

Tim is a not pro wall but says it would work person.

2018-12-22 00:36:11 UTC  

@Misomania I'm going to mock this up a bit

2018-12-22 00:36:19 UTC  

try to figure out the material weight and whatnot

2018-12-22 00:36:28 UTC  

toss it out there and see what people think of the design

2018-12-22 00:36:34 UTC  

If it works in Israel it will work here.

2018-12-22 00:36:44 UTC  

Yup

2018-12-22 00:38:12 UTC  

Man has been building walls for thousands of years

2018-12-22 00:38:16 UTC  

@Misomania I think the variable thickness extrusions could make it considerably cheaper, materials wise, and make it simpler to customize for different situations

2018-12-22 00:39:04 UTC  

also maybe some sort of plastic shell over the supports could make it difficult to hook

2018-12-22 00:39:13 UTC  

like a round shell

2018-12-22 00:39:19 UTC  

to make hooks glance off

2018-12-22 00:39:21 UTC  

I wonder if I could eat a standard MRE after my appointment. Crackers are considerably soft.

2018-12-22 00:39:29 UTC  

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

2018-12-22 00:39:49 UTC  

Bees are beautiful creatures

2018-12-22 00:39:56 UTC  

Anyone who’s allergic to them should be shot

2018-12-22 00:40:29 UTC  

Same with peanut butter

2018-12-22 00:40:47 UTC  

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

2018-12-22 00:40:47 UTC  

agree

2018-12-22 00:41:21 UTC  

and yes, was wearing an extremely thick pair of safety gloves. Sheet metal is just that sharp

2018-12-22 00:41:25 UTC  

hmm

2018-12-22 00:41:44 UTC  

@Misomania as for ramming, I think there's a simpler way to prevent that
