I can say from personal experience that they are in fact implemented at Empire, One World Trade 2.0, Sears (I still can't call it Willis) Tower, and the John Hancock Centre.

Large commercial buildings almost always use daypart-based predictive recall. I cannot understand why residential buildings do not.

 

Probably because it cost money. Everything always comes down to money.

 

 

I was just searching for reasons why a woman might be paid less than a man.

There's a place in my mother's house down in FL which is like that. It's a spot where a vaulted ceiling meets a flat ceiling and a wall. They missed it by about half an inch.

She's lived there for 20 years and had never noticed it. I pointed it out a few years ago when I was down at Christmastime, and now it bugs the hell out of her. In order to "fix" it, you'd have to lay a whole second layer of sheetrock across one side of the entire vaulted portion of the whole living room ceiling (which is quite large), but then that'd cause the opposite situation on the other end of the room where the vaulted living room ceiling intersects the vaulted kitchen ceiling. It's a problem that became basically unfixable the instant the framing was covered over.

 

"When you see it"

 

​​​​​​​As soon as I saw the cat I knew it was Erat who posted this.

 

A friend of mine, who I generally respect, just spent a bunch of money to have his dog cremated and interred within a fancy wooden display box.





When my bestest little fuzzbutt friend Lexi died several years ago, my sister put it in a shoebox wrapped in a grocery bag and stuck it in the freezer, forgot about it for several years, and finally got around to digging a hole in the back yard and tossing the whole dog-shoebox-shopping bag combo into it.


I don't feel robbed, as though Tyson is somehow better off than Lexi. They're both pretty much equally dead.


Haven't quite reached the same bonding stage with Milosevic, the replacement chihuahua. But we'll get there. She finally fell asleep on my lap, paws-up, this past Christmas. Hard when you're only around a few weeks per year.

 

I have fancy boxes for belle and hobbes.


the above box, my grandpa made me one almost exactly like that as a kid. i still have it. ill go pic for proof.

 

I got one of those boxes last week. Wife is a vet tech, so we don't pay for that ****.

 

it's sad cause ill be on (3) soon when Fredo's heart finally gives out.

 

OH peeps have probably been there but if you ever find yourself in Dayton OH with a day free take in the Air Force museum. Free and 4 full hangars.

I'll be in Dayton for driving school end of april. I may have to check that out.

Unrelated random kitty I've been feeding that lives under my outdoor lean-to and on my wood piles.

 

Last time I was there, the Valkyrie was outside. Very cool place.

 

I've been there twice- two full days. Still haven't seen everything.

When I went to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, it was a real let-down by comparison.
