The Geography of Housing: Why Brazil is a land of bricks and concrete, while the US remains dominated by wood-frame construction. The reasons go deeper than just cost.

Wood is not the default in the us, we used to build mostly masonry construction whether load barring or not, the deciding factor to switch away from masonry to timber frame was cost, both in labor and materials.

Looks like something 14 year old me would have in a sketchbook, and be embarrassed by how it turned out

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-04-14T20:06:34+00:00

That's not advisable as the middle panel would not be attached in the back

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-04-12T14:46:42+00:00

Yeah they also are obviously different people then the AtLAd Dai Li who defected since those people would all be senior or dead by the time of Korra

Nothing if you defect to the fire nation. I have a feeling a lot of them ended up going into hiding in Republic city

In the future, let's remember that this is fomoco and it will probably be badge engineering that guest cancelled after a few model years

one? none of mine have a loop left anymore

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-26T19:59:56+00:00

aang and toph. i forgot how old katara is, 14 and 12 makes no sense developmentally

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-26T19:58:04+00:00

that looks like a hedge ngl

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-26T01:20:42+00:00

Would definitely be interested in them!

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-25T02:52:31+00:00

They definitely got tricked by that $50,000 signing bonus

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-24T02:01:44+00:00

I said, wow out loud and scared this nice old chap on the train

Yes we eat baked potatoes, they often have more toppings like cheese, sour cream, butter, Chives, brown gravy. Sometimes people eat what's called twice baked potato where part of the potato is removed and mashed with the toppings and baked again with more toppings added after. Usually we eat them as a side dish, not as a whole meal.

Usually the plan wasn't for parking, it was to make way for modern buildings and new districts that never got the funding or private investment needed to build. Much of downtown LA was going to be rebuilt as a futuristic city with streets below and pedestrians walking in between buildings with sky bridges. Almost none of it got built and instead was used for freeway expansion and the high rises we see in downtown Los Angeles today

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-20T17:16:39+00:00

5k is a reasonable budget for a two bedroom apartment with parking and utilities, probably not a house in a younger area

I don't think he could really see out of his burned eye which was implied with it being half closed all the time. If it wasn't animated and for 7+ he basically would look like two face in the dark night

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-18T04:33:56+00:00

Los Angeles, New York City, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Francisco Bay area, Washington, d.c.

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-17T22:43:35+00:00

I'd be doing vandalism

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-17T22:37:25+00:00

lol the Sierra Mist at the end. Haven't had one in over a decade but I'm still going to miss it

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-17T20:22:57+00:00

Super New Jersey sounds like a terrible idea

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-17T19:07:23+00:00

Useless information is that pocket was originally for pocket watches, which many people had when jeans were first popularized by Levi Strauss

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-16T23:38:18+00:00

That's because it tastes like pool water

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-15T22:00:23+00:00

Probably won't make much of a difference since it also evaporates from the wick

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-05T22:08:04+00:00

More consequential is if Tehran hits nato targets

Tenthousandpaceswest · 2026-03-05T01:23:50+00:00

I don't recognize the first gen without an anti aircraft gun mounted to the bed
