The owners should try to sell it to Musk, it would nicely fit into his current portfolio.

Have they tried fitting it with ailerons?

San Fran is a city I’ve always wanted to visit, but should the opportunity arise, I’d be checking a map for hat buildings location, and drawing a circle on it the radius of which relates to the height, plus a little bit more, and staying the hell away from it!
Who knows, there might be a ‘quake, and a great photo opportunity… :wink:

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

i think this might be a case of pick any one.

Yes, but can I get fries with that?

at $600 million in development costs, and another $100-250 million to “fix” the leaning, you can have as many fries as you want.

As usual, BB is sensationalizing this out of all proportion. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a resident of this building, and while I don’t want to dignify the nonsense that was being reported, there was a very subtle lean towards the west. You could just barely measure it with a level, and it meant that pictures might shift from where you hung them.

Anyway, it’s already much better thanks to this intervention. There, you happy? Can we just drop it?

At this point it’s become “Fast or cheap, pick one.” There in no longer an option with a good outcome.

I think the plan must now be to spend the minimum amount possible to be able to testify “we legitimately tried to fix it, here are the receipts” during the lawsuits to come.

Parody accounts must have “Pedo Guy” in the account name and bio, or Moderators will ban them.

Can you add that to the title drop-down list, like “BBS Pedo Guy”?

On second thought, no. Don’t do that.
