Aura Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 If you don't have renter's insurance, get it! Glad you're okay!Yes, we have it.Checked the building today, the entire back side of the complex (it's a sort of inverse courtyard layout, where parking is in the rear middle section) looks like those old pictures of London in WWII. As if a bomb was just dropped through the roof. Our landlord (who owns a bunch of buildings on the street, but luckily not this one) is convinced it was arson. I don't know what could cause that much structural damage outside of a gas leak.
Voltron Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Fuckin' A, Bro, that is scary anywhere nearby. I think it could have been a Cubs fan spontaneously combusting while watching them self destruct. 5

Dusty Chalk Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Still want to move to Chicago, Jeff? 1
Wmcmanus Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Not to mention what a shame it is to lose such a handsome old building in the neighborhood... but ya, glad you're Ok.
Nebby Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Neighborhood was insanity last night. Apartment three buildings to our west caught fire [possibly via explosion] and the whole building engulfed pretty quick. Took all night for fire dpt to put it out. WAY too close for comfort. Not my picture, but you get the idea.Holy crap, I'm glad you're alright! Brings back memories from my apt fire.
morphsci Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Posted October 22, 2015 Scary shit! Glad you and Allison were unscathed. 1
agile_one Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Bad, bad, bad all around, Bryan. So glad you and Alison are fine, which is most important. 1
Salt Peanuts Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Damn. Glad to hear you and Allison are okay, Bryan. 1

boomana Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Spend the afternoon with the reunited FL crew: Mike, John, Gene, Raffy, Carl, Bonnie, me, plus three doggies. Just wonderful! 15
ironbut Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Glad to hear you guys got together!I hope the dogs approved of the company?
en480c4 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 It's officially hardtop season, so in addition to cleaning a bunch of grit and grime off of it from storing it outside all summer, I got Thule tracks mounted on it, the Thule towers and bars I kept from the last Jeep and the ski box test fit for the upcoming ski season. Also did a bunch of yard work, trying to clean things up before weather really turns. 3

Grahame Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 I got to drive a pre-production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (Toyota Mirai (it means future)) around San Francisco, briefly, today.The required infrastructure isn't really in place yet, and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversation (wrt. Electric vs hydrogen powered cars) but still cool nonetheless. TCO doesn't make sense for me but it does get you a white HOV Lane sticker.P.S. don't mention the Hindenburg 4
dsavitsk Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversationHow long does it take to charge a Tesla?
Grahame Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Longer than to refuel a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle . Toyota were quoting refueling for 300 mile range in 5 minutes or less, which seems real world practical , even if as Elon states the end to end efficiency of a pure electric is higher. Different approach, different trade offs, pick the one that best fits your use case. I could see it being more practical for people without a dedicated garage / parking space / overnight charging point. Needs a more pervasive infrastructure, and more economies of scale. Ubiquitous fusion power would help both camps.http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33005362http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-cars-vs-electric-cars-detailed-comparison-efficiency/
Dusty Chalk Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 They also have a greater range, don't they?
Grahame Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Which They?, compared to what? Non-ambiguous context resolution please.Edit: P.s. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mirai+or+tesla+greater+range Edited October 26, 2015 by Grahame
Dusty Chalk Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I thought the entirely electric cars had a small range, whereas fuel cell cars could go for days. 312 miles/502 km is pretty chintzy, I had expected more. Edited October 26, 2015 by Dusty Chalk
