My mum has a fantastic attitude to sex.
Her 'first time' advice to me was "The first time you see it, don't laugh. They don't like that."

Recently she has claimed she's "rather have a bar of chocolate."

So I don't rate your chances.

I do five miles a day.
And whilst I'm actually running I don't mind it, but I hate it when I have to stop and walk for a couple hundred yards. As soon as I can run the whole distance (I get around three quarters of the way round at the moment before having to walk) it'll not be as bad. That's not saying I like it.

But what I love, and I mean properly love, is when I get in. As someone who over the summer does fuck all, it gives structure to my day and I haven't felt this content in ages. It's weird, normally I wake up at two in the afternoon, but since I've been running I'm wide awake by 8AM at the latest and then get the run out the way as soon as possible. It's not the running it's how it makes me feel for the rest of the day.

And they'll bread lobsters in them, and you can pick them, and you can eat lobsters like most people eat normal tiny shrimps.

wouldn't make a lot of difference
an office building will be designed for a live load of 5kN/m^2, and assuming 2.5m ceiling heights and the water not moving at all your aquarium would be about 25kN/m^2

That'd just mean that the internal floor structure would collapse, though
rather than the entire building, shirley?

Although I guess once it gets to ground level, it's going to want to push outwards
with a considerable amount of force.

Yeah', I guess a bit of tarpooling would fix the job.

you know columns right?
they go all the way down to the bottom. Yeah, you'd most likely get the beams and floors shearing away from the columns, but all of that shit falling multiple stories is going to fuck shit up.

Out of curiousity, can you calculate how much force
5m by, say, 60m2 of water will place on the walls of a tower block once it hits ground level and compresses?
( Kroney, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 12:15, Reply)

hitting the ground and going outwards?
not all that easily.

water is treated as incompressible as well
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 12:17, Reply)

Really? Why's that?
Because if it didn't compress when it hit the ground, it wouldn't place pressure on the walls.
( Kroney, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 12:29, Reply)

because
it is basically incompressible. Compression isn't what would make it put pressure on the walls.

So what does?
I'm genuinely interested, albeit shamefully ignorant.

So what you're saying is, in a world where we can build skyscrapers to be 100s of storys tall.... in a world where we can fly from london to new york inside a few hours....
...in a world where engering is advance that we have all of humanty's collective knowledge accessable to anyone in the world.... in a world where we can put man on the moon.... that we can't build an equarium in the sky if we really really put all our efforts into it?

you could
but you'd have to build it like that from the start
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 12:11, Reply)

OK, we'll do that then.
Maybe build it in the middle of hyde park.

Also
we can't fly across the Atlantic in a few hours anymore. Or put a man on the moon either, for that matter.

Scientific progress is in reverse gear.

We, as humans, can still travel from london to new york inside hours.
OK, fair comment about the moon thing though, although I suspect that if we as a planet wanted too, really really wanted too, and it was important, we would do it.

I think it's more impressive that we, as humans,

That's some kind of skill, right there.

London to Halifax, Nova Scotia

I've just been told off for not being able to remember
how to do something complicated that I did once, over a year ago.

Given that I often can't remember what somebody told me twenty minutes ago, this hardly seems fair.

See, b3th? Even superhumans like me have a cross to bear.
