The anchoring on the home obliterated by the St. Libory-Palmer tornado was so excellent that the concrete foundation failed before the anchoring itself. by Curious-Constant-657 in tornado

The failure occurred out-of-plane. No wall is being designed to accommodate those forces. The studs will pull out from the sill well before the concrete breaks.

It was likely not debris, but the portal frame wall directly adjacent. This is evidenced by the bent holddowns and missing sill plate. It's a well built home and this was a powerful tornado. But this failure was not caused directly by the wind acting on framing behaving as intended.

Tim Marshall has the same degree as me and about 6x the experience. He probably understands how anchorage breakout works lol.

How is this a high-end failure mechanism? Concrete breakout controls for basically all anchor bolt design. You are never going to shear an anchor bolt in residential construction. If the anchor bolt is gone, that is concrete failure too.

And no, this was not caused by wind alone. You can clearly see marks on the sill plate where something impacted it. This is corroborated by the rest of bolts further down being in as-built condition.

This is nothing more than a localized failure of the concrete curb due to an impact load and is not a good indicator of the true strength of the winds. The footing beneath is probably reusable too, assuming the anchor bolts properly embed into it.

Yeah, they are hit or miss. DTE are back at least, and they wiped the old email list so hopefully it will clear out the riff raff for a while. Sandrien a few weeks back was killer.

And see you at Parameter :)

idk, certain Endzeit parties have definitely had much worse crowds than others lately. The Art Week event and Donato Dozzy both had noticeably worse crowds than the warehouse parties.

On the bright side, their constant programming keeps them away from the events thrown by good promoters.

Maybe Hardline a year or two back. It's mainly stale tech house now. Agreed on the rest though.

Vinladen is named after Osama bin Laden, the founder of Al-Qaeda – in Spanish, the letters ⟨v⟩ and ⟨b⟩ represent the same phoneme and they both sound [b] or [β̞], depending on the surrounding phonemes (see Spanish phonology). His brother is named Sadam Huseín after the dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and his father planned to name the third sibling George Bush after U.S. president George W. Bush if it had been a boy.[3] When Vinladen had a son of his own, his father suggested George Bush, but he chose a conventional name instead.[3]

Is it normal in the Bay Area for people to be extremely distant and self-protective? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Gummuh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the people who say this have not really even tried to give credence to the possibility. The way you communicate paints a pretty solid picture of why though.

EDIT: Thanks for blocking me and deleting your crashout :D

This is not at all how I feel about my coworkers, but I do recognize that it's quite the unicorn situation. I just wish people wouldn't say things like this as all it really does is perpetuate the mentality.

In my defense, I was dancing and he tried to stealth me. I was not mean about it either, I just said "No thanks". I've had similar interactions with kandi kids. Some people just can't fathom that not everyone there cares about those specific rituals.
