well yeah, you can’t just try, you need to actually do it.

Stupid title, grammatically at least.

if one of them goes, the other is pretty likely to go as well. Unless you just didn’t secure it properly, in which case skill issue.

ur house is probably part of the debris by then lmao

for one, it’s a joke, second, if the truck is flying, the entire house and foundation are already gone lmao.

mobile homes are built like complete shit (mostly due to weight) so even if you strapped them they would probably still vanish at the sight of 80mph winds lol.

i would trust that redditor seeing how homes are often built lmao

homie these straps are probably rated for a tree falling on it lol

unanchored

whips

schrodingers whip. How is it both unanchored and a whip at the same time.

it depends. It would only really be stupid if this wasn’t permitted/inspected. If the law says it’s good then fuck it, it’s good.

You can bet your ass if it hasn’t been inspected yet, it’s about to be.

they make houses rated to hurricane winds, i don’t think the trees really care one way or the other. Engineering is often better at withstanding hurricanes than trees.

I’ve heard all the theoretical arguments. I now want to witness the experiment live. Or on camera.

you can do a pretty simple small scale test, with something like popsicle stick houses, and instead of wind loading, static loading against the wall. It won’t scale perfectly, but it should demonstrate the concept.

yeah these look like footings to me, i see what looks to be a small concrete protuberance right out of the ground. Also these would likely just pull out of the ground if they weren’t anchored, and they wouldn’t be whips, just very odd debris.

ok so. This isn’t going to stop a tree, or a large rock from flying through the side of you wall, but if you home isn’t mounted to the foundation (common in old homes) or very well mounted, or just not very wind load capable, this could actually be beneficial.

You could still experience “wall buckling” but since the roof is relatively secured, you’re acting from a separate point of leverage. Which is essentially going to be in the middle of the wall, rather than at the top of the wall.

This is all assuming that these anchor points are as strong or stronger than the straps and mounting hardware. And the fact that your home doesn’t disintegrate between the staps.

that might be it honestly

that might be the case, something about it is off and messing with my brain. I would still be willing to bet those are high ceilings though.

am i high or are those cabinets just like really short? or does this kitchen have like 10ft high ceilings.

kind of, like i said i play technical minecraft so the kind of stuff i’m accustomed to are the fact that repeaters schedule power events on a priority system changing based on what it’s powering or not.

I will probably end up playing mineclone2/voxelibre at some point though, it’s just not really a substitute here unfortunately.

High capacity SMR drives are already a special hell, those wont get much market share for the average HDD use case outside of archival usage, which might be the intent to begin with lol. I believe SMR drives are already cheaper anyway, not sure how much that is due to R&D and production or just existing in a special market space right now, but it’s one of them.

if the implied point of this post is to demonstrate that hurricanes have gotten worse over time due to climate change, yes this is objectively wrong, even if the underlying data is true.

Just because you have the correct solution, doesn’t mean you calculated it correctly.

To give an example here, let’s say i have a set of 99 numbers, 1-99 and lets say i add one more number, 100, but oops i accidentally add two more zeroes so now it’s actually 10,000

If i take an average of the extremes (not perfectly analogous here but i’m demonstrating a simple point) of 1, and 10,000 then the average is going to be 5,000 roughly. However most of those data points are going to live within 1-99 so this is an extremely incorrect “demonstration” of the effect here.

The primary problem here being that we don’t really know what the direct effects of climate change are going to be, just that we know what it will probably do, and if this is the first significant event of this category, we’re about to find out why fat fingering the 0 twice is going to be really unfortunate.

Now if the point is that “hurricane bigger than other hurricane lol” sure, but that’s a stupid point to make. Again my original example of joplin vs el reno tornados. It’s entirely arbitrary for no reason. It’d be like if i stopped you on the side of the road, picked up two rocks, and went “these sure are rocks aren’t they?”

that would be rather funny, although i play technical minecraft primarily, so minetest isn’t exactly a substitute here lol.
