@LuKapreliants Letting them built to 110% sounds more generous and less restrictive. Plus, inevitably, plenty of people had legal-non-conforming houses. Although, that’s right that most owners won’t have original plans.
@Ben__Jamon@tweets__by_cory@PaulSkallas He’ll look “over-dressed”. As in *better* than he is supposed to look for the event. But this isn’t about appropriateness. It’s about aesthetics. Suits look better than t shirts. Simple as that.
@tweets__by_cory@Ben__Jamon@PaulSkallas Stripping away all the variables, of which there are many, a man in a well-fitted suit will look better than he will look in a tshirt.
@tweets__by_cory@Ben__Jamon@PaulSkallas I know what you’re trying to say, and it *can be* true but not necessarily. Although this is about aesthetics, not personality. A man in a suit looks better than a man in a tshirt. It may not make him a better man, but it does make it a more aestheticly attractive one.
@ericweinstein Pointing out the fake windows, when they could have just used a curtain resonates with me deeply. Lol. As an architect, one of the things from school that always made sense to me was honesty in materials and why vinyl flooring made to imitate wood is like a lie.
@ThamizhKudimagn @gepfropft@nntaleb 3. If someone makes the moral resolution to abstain from meat but is too weak-willed to actually give up hamburgers, they are pathetic.
@ThamizhKudimagn @gepfropft@nntaleb 1. Of course it’s not either/or. You can certainly make imitation meat, it’s just lame. Like a teenager pretending to be something he’s not to fit in. 2. It’s not lindy….
"Smart Cities":
Any city that utilizes overengineered solutions for simple problems, and requires a global network of technology and specialists to maintain, is in fact, dumb.
Any city that is so low-tech that can it can be maintained by locals with local materials, is smart.
