If you’re a Rust developer

how you can keep 13[.5] tonnes of an incredibly dense object in an apartment

Gold’s density is 19320 kg/m³

13500 kg / 19320 kg/m³ = 0.6988 m³

Rounding up to 1 m³ since gold bars don’t stack perfectly.

So basically a closet can store it all. And people like this tend not to give a shit about or even be aware of silly things like “safety” or “structural load” so I wouldn’t be surprised if the building’s fucked from this.

Edit: Actually I got curious so let’s calculate some more.

According to this website, concrete can have a compressive strength of anywhere from 5 MPa to 60 MPa. I don’t know what they make apartments out of but let’s go middle of the road and say 30 MPa, which is the first category where you need a design mix (mix, let cure, and test, presumably) and not a hard and fast ratio.

Assuming the gold is stacked at 1m by 1m by 1m (so it has a 1 m² base).

An online converter tells me that 13500 kg is 132389.802 N, or 0.1324 MN. Pa is N per m² so it would be 0.1324 MPa, a small fraction of the concrete’s rated load by my non-physicist non-engineer guess.

Obviously most of the load of the concrete is taken up by the building itself, so I don’t know how much load in the apartment it can tolerate, and this also assumes the gold pile is resting directly on a vertical beam and not on a horizontal beam without anything underneath. But from the looks of it (again, not an engineer), it wouldn’t be nearly enough to immediately collapse the building, just eat away at the safety margins and reduce the building’s lifespan.

I don’t use make I use msbuild /s

I do that sometimes, but because it’s one of those shitty intersections that has separate call buttons for parallel crossings. Where, for example, if the east-west car traffic is stopped and the north crosswalk call button was pressed first and the south button was pressed too late into the process, it will give the pedestrian signal for only the north crosswalk, not the south one, even though the cross traffic is stopped for both. It will make you wait an entire cycle before it lets you cross. This happens all the time because if you want to cross diagonally, what do you instinctively do? You press both call buttons at your starting corner because you’re not sure which direction will clear first. But that screws you over on your second crossing because the other parallel side, the one you’re no longer on, now gets priority. I watch for protected right/left signals and if there aren’t any, I cross anyway because the traffic is fucking stopped and the lights are being stupid.

Not recommending other people do this because obviously it’s risky. The protected signals can come on after you’ve started crossing, and in general drivers might be looking at the pedestrian signal instead of actually scanning for people. But if it’s an intersection I’m familiar with, it’s not super busy, and I’m in a rush, I’ll foolishly take the risk.

I’m thinking of making an entire rant on /c/fuckcars about the shitty crosswalks of the Vancouver BC area and how they go out of their way to inconvenience pedestrians if people are interested.

Any of the classic Disney animated movies. First movie is a ripoff of classic fairy tales so most of the heavy lifting writing wise was done for them, the instant Disney has to write the whole thing is when it goes to shit. If it’s “Disney presents [insert fairy tale here] 2” you know it’ll suck.

Better for security too. A game is a full program and can do basically anything on your computer. I don’t even trust games from legit sources to run on my main OS. So if you pirate a game at the very least run it in a VM.

Would be more useful than what it actually contains.

China is one of the oldest civilisations and has so much history and culture to offer. You can be born and raised in China and still not have seen it all.

Other than the tankie part what do you do differently?

Those “rent a e-bike/scooter for your commute” apps. Doesn’t take that many rides to exceed the cost of getting your own. If you find yourself using those regularly just save up to buy an e-bike/scooter.

Seriously, everyone NEEDS to get a fire extinguisher for the kitchen. And keep it up to date. We’ve collectively forgotten just how deadly fires are, if someone in the middle ages found out we had the technology to almost instantly put out a decently sized fire and most people just, like, don’t bother to have it in their homes, they’d lose their minds.

Bro literally had a conversation with the soldier in the tank.

Neo implies the original version went out of fashion at some point.

Lol try actually advocating against him. They let you speak until the instant they think you might change something and have gotten really good at gauging that.

Is that a real thing? Like an onsite (let’s be real, workstation, not button) that can turn all the servers off? Not even the circuit breakers do that because there are redundant power sources.

Gonna assume it’s like the Mafia where you never truly “pay off” your debt even when the required amount of money is transferred.

I just use the web UI. It scales really well on mobile.

Do vegetables actually need to be refrigerated? Always wondered. Is it an actual safety thing or just a preserving flavour/texture thing?
