New blog

Once more for the crowd; making a new blog because I can’t access this one on my computer. Starting over from scratch.

Dr. Light on the streets, after some shaky robotics tech scared away all his investors.

But then everything changed when Dr. Wily’s Robot Masters attacked and Dr. Light was able to build Rockman in the streets with a box of scraps!

I’d be interested in seeing a Gears+Garbage version of Mega/Rock!

Doesn’t that look beautiful?

Like something you’d find on one of those soft/nature blogs?

Well you are in for a surprise

The Bolton Strid in England is one of the most innocent looking streams.

Though it looks like you could just hop across the rocks, but if you miss you will die for sure. It packs very rapid currents just a couple of feet below its surface. No one really knows how deep it really is. Nobody who has ever fallen into the Strid has survived. It has a 100% fatality rate.

It’s always the things I google expecting to be false that wind up being horribly true.

I forgot to add but here is a SOURCE

“It’s relatively common for people to assume they can jump the creek, walk across its stones or even wade through it (again, just looking at it, the Strid really seems to be only knee-deep in places, and certainly not the instant, precipitous drop into a watery grave that it is). Most of the time, they never even find the body. Which means there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join them…”

how dare you leave out the best quote

“It’s exactly how water works in a video game: It looks all stupid and harmless, but the second your foot touches the surface, you get some bullshit drowning animation and die instantly.”

Bermed Earth

Are you able to find any examples of bermed earth sheltered residential housing, particularly in desert or arid areas?

A bermed house may be built above grade or partially below grade, with earth covering one or more walls. An “elevational” bermed design exposes one elevation or face of the house and covers the other sides—and sometimes the roof—with earth to protect and insulate the house.

The exposed front of the house, usually facing south, allows the sun to light and heat the interior. The floor plan is arranged so common areas and bedrooms share light and heat from the southern exposure. This can be the least expensive and simplest way to build an earth-sheltered structure. Strategically placed skylights can ensure adequate ventilation and daylight in the northern portions of the house.

In a penetrational bermed design, earth covers the entire house, except where there are windows and doors. The house is usually built at ground level, and earth is built up (or bermed) around and on top of it. This design allows cross-ventilation and access to natural light from more than one side of the house.

Identified from the top:

Summerhouse Ask Arkitektar

Rainbow Hill Bed and Breakfast

The Burrow Space Shuttle Design

Festus Cave Dwelling

Dani Ridge House Carver + Schicketanz

NY Earth-Bermed House

Tempe Residence

Villa Vals CMA and SeARCH

Cody Lundin Home

McElmo Canyon Home

PS A couple of these examples technically fall under the category of “cave houses” but are included as examples of design strategies when dealing with rock, a common occurrence in many arid areas.

Have any of your friendships ever ended because you were always the first one to talk to someone and one day you stopped to see if they would talk to you first and they never did so you just stopped talking to each other?
