TehSlothHit Or MissI Guess They Never Miss, HuhRegistered Userregular
My minion over in the philippines has now been working on a project for over a month that I could knock out in probably a day if I didn't have anything else to do.
He's basically only useful for handling emergencies while I'm asleep, but I really like uninterrupted sleep so that may be enough.
The real question is whether I actually just do the work myself so that it's done or continue to wait for him to probably never actually do it.
Also if you're designing an elevator, it seems like elevators are a business you do, and you could probably use an existing schematic and go from there and save yourself a lot of work anyways.
Hoistways very too much. Companies like Otis or Shindler just use a standard elevator. Where everything is just a kit, assemble throw in adjust move on, but you can't change or very, and if they hoistway is a different size or the guide rails are wrong they have to demo and try again, there isn't room for change and problems with that type of thing. For custom elevators you need to do engineering every time. And codes change every year so you have to design per the code year.

Who needs safety systems when you can just have the bottom of the elevator fall out and drop people a few hundred feet into water.
Jeez you act like it's a big deal.
just glue a spring to the bottom of the lift
I think they actually do this. Or rather the spring sits all the way at the bottom of the shaft.
Many do I believe. If your high up it won't matter but if the elevator fucks up around the first couple of floors it will probably just give you some bruises instead of destroying you
It's one of the many fail safes. Some use "springs" at the bottom, some use a pool of water, some don't use anything.
There's also brakes that will kick in if the elevator descends too quickly or loses power, by default they're clamped shut and only open during full power. I think one of the brakes jams a metal rod into the wall.
Then there's the fact that elevator cables have like 10 redundancies to themselves. So theoretically, it could support N-weight depending on how many factors of safety is required of it.
Then the counterweights act as a failsafe too (pulls the elevator up towards the roof instead of letting you fall down).
It's the safety systems that really make an elevator safe. Shit be nuts. It feels like a team of 5 engineers could build an elevator no problem, though, because I'm sure they have way more knowledge about this shit than I do reading wikipedia and watching how it's made.

What if you put the elevator in a giant slinky and used an existing stairwell?

And then you could be Ohio State and have 100 people on an elevator and see how that works out.
Bless your heart.

Pools of water aren't code. Generally that's because the elevator hoistway wasn't sealed correctly and no-one bothered to pump out the pit. Cathotic protection is generally springs. They also have breaks that engage if the elevator goes too fast in either direction, because the counterweight is 45% heavier than the elevator, it is likely to go up in event the brakes fail.
Yeah I wasn't super sure about the pools of water, but I've seen lots of old elevator shafts like that so I figured it was just par for the course.
Those old 1950s freight elevators are legit terrifying. We have a few of them in Syracuse still.
have you ever ridden in them? the hand cranked ones?
those legit make your stomach turn
I'd rather just take the stairs or climb a service ladder. You just know that the pulley systems on those elevators haven't been inspected in 50 years.

Router nerds - if I have a VoIP phone that needs to be connected to my modem, can I use a wifi extender and connect it to that?
Yes but
How often do you use your VoIP phone? Do you really care if it works?
It lets me work from home without people in other offices not realizing I'm not there. People in other offices are the only ones that care if I'm in the office. So yes, I care very much. *is working from home today and tomorrow without telling people in other offices because it is not relevant to them thanks to VoIP phone*

I go to look up this world-endinging temperature in London. It's 94F/34C. I am sure it's bad for them but how am I supposed to not cackle?

It's been that warm a few times this summer and I don't have it either. You just kind of sit outside and sip a mint julep. Entertaining the fantasy that you own another human being helps as well.

A WiFi bridge is not the best choice then. Run a cable.

My grandmother had a mansion in indiana who passed away recently. It just got closed, her house is 5-6bd 2.5 gigantic stories, finished basement w/ wetbar, attached garage. 109k and "we were lucky to get that, we were thinking 90k".
In SWVA 109 barely gets you a shack. You might be able to get condemned property in a bad part of town for 90.

Taxes are taxes but neither of us make enough to really get hit
401k is gravy

Dump some ice in a bucket and put a fan to blow air over it. You'll get yourself a 85 degree room if you're lucky.
