minus-squareparanoia@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoboth of these were designed by architects. neither reflects the twin simplicity and laziness that engineering embodies.
minus-squarezout@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoAs an engineer, I prefer to call it minmalism. Quick edit: I saw the typo, but it is also an example of what the sentence is supposed to convey.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoLook. i’s ain’t cheap, and half the readers won’t even use it. Leave it out, we’ll claim it was a mistake, and if anyone really complains we can add it back later.
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoAre you kidding. Just slap an extra 20% of the is you think you used on the end in case.
minus-squareCelloMike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIf engineers had our way all buildings would look like this This is the ideal building. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like 😆
minus-squarePilon23@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoMind explaining why this is peak performance? ELI5 if possible
minus-squareCelloMike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoEngineers love these things because they’re real easy to design, and very efficient in usable volume vs materials (which is why they’re used for every warehouse/big store/factory) Obviously not great for living in or anything but that’s the joke :)
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoWhy not continue the brick shell at least to eye level? Why does it stop at waist level?
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThe real question is, why is there any brick at all? (The answer is almost certainly that somebody other than the engineer imposed the requirement.)
minus-square...m...@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month ago…masonry wainscots look tacky-as-heck but they provide impact and moisture resistance where it’s needed most…
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIs masonry really cheaper than using a slightly thicker gauge of steel and a decent epoxy paint for the bottom few feet?
minus-squareAllYourSmurf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoBrick waterproof. Brick termite-proof. Brick fireproof.
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoPanel same (probably, depending what kind of panel).

minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoBrick? Pfft. Concrete elements all the way. There’s no equal.
minus-squareRubberElectrons@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoDogshit R-factor, poor impact resistance, I mean that’s the obvious stuff lol Peak performance is highly dependent on who’s defining it 😝
minus-squareWanpieserino@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoMy neighbour shop looks exactly like that. It went bankrupt cuz it’s ugly as fuck
minus-squareLetsdothisok@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month ago“Shop”? Depending on the type - and I don’t want to jump to conclusions - I doubt it being ugly was a major part of its bankruptcy.

That’s positvely genus!ii
I go with “efficiency”
hey! I resemble those remarks!

Brick expensive :(
panel cheap :)
The real question is, why is there any brick at all?
