All houses should have a pre installed fireplace that’s also a secret revolving door leading to a hidden chamber.

Avoid Revolving Doors

[littlewalken]

I call bullshit on the fat woman stuck in a revolving door story

I knew there was something about the story told by Jae Bae Official about being stuck in a revolving door because it was the "only way" to get to a place in an airport that didn't add up.

American building and fire code states, among other things, that a revolving door cannot be the sole means of egress-

The IBC 1010.1. 4.1 has more to say about revolving doors: they can't ever be the sole means of egress. Each revolving door must have a side-hinged swing door (that qualifies as an egress door per IBC 1010.1) within 10 feet of the revolver and that door must be on the same wall.

This is because of a disaster, might have been the Cocoanut Grove fire, where people got trapped in a revolving door. Just look up any revolving door in America, and possibly elsewhere in the developed world, and there will be a regular door near by.

All I had to look up was "revolving door fire code" to find this.

And anyone in a wheelchair or mobility device would need a non revolving door too.

Revolving Doors

[thiefofblood]

I always knew that was the last day we’d spend together. Swirling around and blurred, it couldn’t last forever. I knew it. Should’ve said something before we split

something slightly different from the kairiki bear redraws. had a dream about a month ago that i thought would make for a nice short story so i dusted off some old ocs for it, redesigned them, and slapped that dream's story on them

that dream i can attribute to two things, but only one of them is important in this context: the unresolved feelings of past relationships that i don't think i'll ever get closure on that every now and then i get dreams about

so that lead to this art, based on swirling evening by mel ft. flower, about a relationships that ended without much closure for the narrator. it's a bit of an underrated gem to me, i was shocked to even find an english dub back when i found this cover.

long description short: old character for new story based on a dream that's all u gotta know

Automatic Revolving Doors: Enhancing Indoor Air Quality and Comfort in Buildings

In the quest to establish healthier and more comfortable building environments, Automatic Revolving Doors have emerged as an innovative solution. Not only do they add a modern and stylish touch to the entrance of buildings, but they also offer a wide range of benefits in terms of indoor air quality and occupant comfort. In this article, we will delve into how Revolving Doors, presented by ACTS LLC, significantly contribute to improving indoor comfort and air quality.

Superior Airflow Management with Automatic Revolving Doors A key aspect in fostering a comfortable indoor environment is managing airflow. Traditional swing doors can cause sudden variations in air pressure leading to drafts and inconsistent temperatures. In contrast, Automatic Revolving Doors facilitate steady and controlled airflow. By balancing the indoor and outdoor air exchange, these doors help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing the reliance on heating or cooling systems.

Diminished Dust and Pollutant Infiltration Revolving Doors are particularly effective in preventing external pollutants, dust, and allergens from entering the building. The revolving design ensures that the doors are always closed, mitigating air escape. This feature is especially beneficial in urban locales where air quality is often compromised by vehicle emissions and industrial activities.

Climate Control and Energy Efficiency through Revolving Doors Achieving high indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency can be a challenging task. Automated Revolving Doors strike this balance by minimizing air conditioning loss. Unlike swing doors that remain open for extended periods, Revolving Doors open and close swiftly, preventing unnecessary energy usage. This controlled airflow also assists in regulating humidity levels, promoting optimum indoor air conditions.

Noise Barrier Function of Automatic Revolving Doors In crowded urban settings, noise pollution is a significant concern for buildings. Automatic Revolving Doors serve as barriers against external noise, creating a buffer zone between the indoor and outdoor environments. This results in a quieter indoor environment, improving overall occupant satisfaction and well-being.

Airlock Effect for Energy Conservation Many advanced models of Automatic Revolving Doors come equipped with an airlock feature which further improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The airlock function creates an intermediary space between the indoors and outdoors, significantly reducing outdoor air and heat influx. This feature is particularly useful in extreme climates as it helps maintain indoor temperatures without overloading HVAC systems.

In conclusion, Automatic Revolving Doors offer more than just a sophisticated entrance to buildings. Their ability to improve indoor air quality, control airflow, reduce dust and pollutant infiltration, and enhance occupant comfort, positions them as a valuable asset for any building. Architects, facility managers, and building operators can utilize Automatic Revolving Doors to design efficient, eco-friendly, and inviting indoor environments that prioritize occupant health. ACTS LLC, a leading provider of innovative building solutions, is committed to delivering state-of-the-art Automatic Revolving Doors that enhance indoor environments and overall occupant quality of life.

Thinking the unthinkable

On SEPTEMBER 24th, I'll be speaking IN PERSON at the BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Time and again, I find myself thinking about radium suppositories: specifically, I get to thinking about the day that the consensus shifted from "radium suppositories are great" to "stop putting radioisotopes up your ass."

The thing is, people really liked radium-based quack remedies. They drank radium-infused water, smeared radium cream on their faces and bodies, and yes, rammed radium suppositories up their assholes:

https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/radium-girls/

The fact that this made whatever ailed you sicker didn't deter the radium true believers: if you're getting sicker, then you must need more radium.

When I think about the debate over radium, I imagine that the people who understood that radium was really bad for you must have run up against critics who told them they were being unreasonable. "You can't tell people to stop using radium. Tell them to use suppositories with less radium. Tell them to use them less frequently. But you can't just tell people, 'stop putting radium up your asshole.' They won't take you seriously."

About 20 years ago, I started pitching various institutions that reviewed consumer tech policy on the idea that they should reject any product that had DRM. After all, DRM didn't just restrict how you used a gadget today, it provided a facility for nonconsensually, irreversibly field-updating that gadget to add new restrictions tomorrow. How could a reviewer in good conscience say, "Go ahead and buy this device if you need this feature," if they knew that at any time in the future, the gadget's maker could take that feature away and leave the buyer with no recourse?

Here's the warning I (half-seriously) suggested magazines run alongside such products:

WARNING: THIS DEVICE’S FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE, ACCORDING TO TERMS SET OUT IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS. YOUR INVESTMENT IS CONTINGENT ON THE GOODWILL OF THE WORLD’S MOST PARANOID, TECHNOPHOBIC ENTERTAINMENT EXECS. THIS DEVICE AND DEVICES LIKE IT ARE TYPICALLY USED TO CHARGE YOU FOR THINGS YOU USED TO GET FOR FREE — BE SURE TO FACTOR IN THE PRICE OF BUYING ALL YOUR MEDIA OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AT NO TIME IN HISTORY HAS ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY GOTTEN A SWEET DEAL LIKE THIS FROM THE ELECTRONICS PEOPLE, BUT THIS TIME THEY’RE GETTING A TOTAL WALK. HERE, PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH, IT’LL MUFFLE YOUR WHIMPERS.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/12/08/playstationed/#tyler-james-hill

No one took me up on my offer. Over and over again, magazine editors, managers of nonprofit review outlets, and indie gadget reviewers told me that it was unrealistic to publish a roundup of, say, this year's portable music players with the recommendation, "Just don't buy any of these. None of them are fit for purpose."

In other words: No one wanted to publish, "The correct amount of radium to stuff up your asshole is zero."

But the correct amount of rectal radium for you to administer is "none" and the correct car for you to buy today is none of the cars:

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

This isn't the first time the correct automotive recommendation was "don't buy any of these cars." Back before seatbelts came standard in cars, the correct car was "don't buy a car." Sometimes, the correct answer is "none of the above." Even if that makes you sound unserious, the alternative is that you counsel people to put radium up their asses in a bid to seem "reasonable."

Today, DRM-infected products are routinely downgraded and bricked:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/5/24236237/ftc-software-tethering-letter-consumer-reports-ifixit

Even when companies face public uproar over these disastrous decisions and vow to reverse them, they can't, because these downgrades are one way:

https://www.stereocheck.com/news/music/unfortunately-you-cant-revert-to-the-old-sonos-app-anymore/

That's bad enough when it's your smart speakers, but what about when the company bricks your wheelchair:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/when-drm-comes-your-wheelchair

Or your $100,000 exoskeleton:

https://paulickreport.com/news/people/paralyzed-jockey-michael-straight-wants-to-keep-walking-but-manufacturer-wont-repair-exoskeleton

The reality is that we're living at the end of a catastrophic experiment in deregulation and its handmaidens, corruption and regulatory capture, and there are lots of "normal" things that we just need to stop doing. Not do less of them – just stop.

Like, the correct amount of collusion between realtors representing sellers and realtors representing buyers is zero:

https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2024-03-19/realtor-rules-just-changed-dramatically-heres-what-buyers-and-sellers-can-expect

We got that one right, but there's plenty more that we're still engaged in this pathetic, denialist bargaining over. What's the correct degree to which White House officials should cycle back into working at the industries they oversaw? Zero. How many times should such a person come back to work at the White House? Again: zero:

https://prospect.org/power/2024-09-19-next-administration-can-stop-ethics-scandals/

When the Biden admin dropped its executive order on ethics just hours after the inauguration, they trumpeted that it "went further than any other towards slowing the revolving door and limiting conflicts of interest while in office":

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/executive-order-ethics-commitments-by-executive-branch-personnel/

And it did. But it was also full of loopholes, because banning these conflicts of interest altogether was viewed as politically unserious, so the correct amount of radium up the administration's asshole was set at non-zero. The result? Well, it's about what you'd expect:

https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/what-the-hell-is-anita-dunn-even-allowed-to-work-on/

Congress hasn't updated consumer privacy law since 1988, when it took the bold step of…banning video-store clerks from telling the newspapers which VHS cassettes you took home. Since then, a coalition of commercial surveillance companies and the cops and spies who treat their data-lakes as massive, off-the-books anaerobic lagoons of warrantless surveillance data has prevented the passage of any new privacy protections for Americans.

The result? Stalkers, creeps, spies (both governmental and corporate), identity thieves, spearphishers and other villainous scum are running wild, endangering every American's financial, physical and political wellbeing. The correct amount of commercial data-brokerage for America is zero:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/12/06/privacy-first/#but-not-just-privacy

In other words, we should order every data-broker, every tech giant, every consumer electronics company and app vendor to delete all their surveillance data. All of it. The correct amount of radium in that asshole is – as with every other orifice zero:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/07/revealed-preferences/#extinguish-v-improve

From the perspective of the radium pitchmen, the most shocking thing about the past four years has been antitrust enforcers – like Lina Khan, Rohit Chopra, and Jonathan Kanter – who refused to bargain about how much radium we needed to stick up our butts. Fearless of being branded as "unserious" and "unreasonable," they seriously, reasonably said the right amount is none, actually.

None. Which is why they're so mad at Khan and co. Which is why they're so bent on getting Kamala Harris to fire Khan – despite the fact that this would burn precious political capital in the senate. Some people just love the feeling they get from a radium suppository – especially the suppository salesmen:

The paperback edition of The Lost Cause, my nationally bestselling, hopeful solarpunk novel is out this month!

okay but literally what if buck and tommy end up together? like what if we get to see them moving in together or saying i love you for the first time or getting engaged or getting married? what if we get to see buck having a husband? literally what then...

[torra-and-the-toons]

Oh my god, I never shared this...

I was intending to make an eene x knd crossover comic with this that would have theoretically taken place directly after the B&M crossover (since the Eds technically did appear) but my motivation to do so fell flat on its ass...

I was going to make Jonny and Plank secret KND members because I thought it'd be fun, and like, his Captain Melonhead persona was his KND alter ego, he already has a secret tree-house base with a bunch of tech, I thought it fit rather well.

Maybe one day I'll think about making it again... who knows. It's a lot of work to make comics for someone with so little free time. 😞

(Also I'll give you a quarter if you can figure out why I assigned Jonny the Numbuh 4031 🤭)
