Well I got this from your text, and, well, damn!

Yep that's ground zero. On my twitter there's one of the Empire State Building being the only light in the skyline. Heather said a few hours ago, US Marshalls were ordering everyone in the street to get back inside.

Yes, well we've been through this before and you know I don't look at the twitter. There's only one dude on this board I know who can follow twitter all day and call himself heterosexual with a straight face, and that's MPZ. Or Meat, or whatever he's calling himself these days.

If Feds are deployed on the street, shit's really that bad.

If that's salt water/storm surge pouring in on that rebar in those foundations, do not live there when it's completed. Well, you might get away with it for 10 or 15 yrs but beyond that your shit's going to settle.

Manhattan is completely fucked.

I haven't been down there in a while, but I'll be damned if that ain't ground zero. So forget about living there, let's talk about filling some tower full of people there, yes?

That's not rebar that's the shoring system collapsing.

How's Camden, Fucknuts?

They should declare martial law and take out the looters, because you know there's going to be a bunch.

Naaaah, Vin. New Yorkers will fuck each other over in normal times, but not in this shit. It's just what we do.

I hear you fuck the Heffer's in Camden for a some welfare money.

I've never been to Camden in my life. Why are you three so obsessed with it?

Odd place for an odd argument.

That is most definitely rebar in that photo and to my trained eye it looks like rebar in a footing yet to be poured rather than rebar exposed by a storm surge that somehow dissolved all the concrete poured around it. My point is, if the rebar and foundations in that photo get built upon, it will digest itself in a very few years. If rebar is needed at all up there when you build on top of rock it's for seismic purposes.

JB's hometown:

There's no way that's a rebar cage. The shit off to the left is epoxy U-bars (perhaps) for a stem wall.

admixtures can be added to concrete to resist salt attack.

I think it's time to have a serious discussion about abandoning NYC to the Earth Goddess. It's Global Warming, I tells ya.

Good observation though. Bornyo.

It's a good way to thin out the herd and make the streets safer for the good folk after Sandy is gone.

Isn't it?







Well, since someone wants to bring an argument to this thread, let me say right here that I've known Bo for a number of years, and, while we fight occasionally, the man knows what he's talking about when it comes to construction. In any event, take a look at that photo again, 'cause what's finally getting done down at ground zero is, unfortunately, some hurry-up stuff.

I didn't want to know it was that bad, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

Jerky will cry havoc over this, I'm certain, but that's what he do.

I don't give a fuck what Bornyo knows about construction.

Shear walls have seismic detailing.

I don't know, maybe he's right. I don't give a shit.

Maybe the fuckers will use stainless steel rebar next time.

One thing's for certain. They don't build shit with stainless steel in Camden. They use cardboard.

Thank god they chose to rebuild that gawd awful office building instead of building a Storm Surge Barrier Like they did with Thames In London..


America an its hubris especially its so called "greatest city in the world" NY deserves all this shit its gonna get from this..

LOLZ

Dear Nathanial Mayweather:

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

NYC

I don't recall giving you permission to speak for NYC.

Now you go fight with the other irrelevant twat, yes? Good Boy.

You can take your permission and shove it up your fucking asshole while you sip Boone's Farm, Camden-boy.

Storm water got into the Oyster Creek nuke plant in Jersey and spilled radioactive water into the sewer system. Sweet! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for reals.

Someone's bitchy today. Couldn't be because I smacked you and your minions all over the board today, could it?

What the fuck are you talking about JB? The only thing you smacked today was your little willy while surfing for child porn. Perverted motherfucker.

What else are you going to invent? Please, I'm all ears.

Looks like it's taking him a while to think it through. . .

Is Camden a My Name is Earl reference?

Stainless steel on a government bid job?

Rebar vs whatever debate is jerking off for a few days (or hours...whatever) and the waters recede.

Looking forward to the mutations. Like from Japan.

Well, I heard worst of the wind is over. Metal roof of the horses run in shed was lifting up and banging around. I saw the horse a couple minutes ago prnacing around scared of it. As long as he is inside the fence, I should sleep well.

Power been out since 4pm. I hope that only lasts 24hrs like last time.

Jb is a delusional cunt. Never try to drink away mental illness children.

Good night

So you do have horses? And a boyfriend, too?



Yep. Got a Boyfriend, too.

And, apparently, this happened:

EDIT that so it's just the 3:00 to 3:40 part.

Thank you, I got sidetracked with storm silliness and this shit does come in unedited.

Well, at least the hot dog carts will have new water in them.

It's the months old water that makes them taste so good.

Great Letterman show tonight. He had no audience and a skeleton crew and the show felt like Wayne's World. Wierdly, the shots of empty Manhattan during the show were more effective than all the news footage I've seen this week.

Meanwhile, on Avenue C:

Just to update: After shutting the trains a day too early, the Emperor Bloomberg is still insisting people report to work. How anyone will get there remains to be determined.

It is just awful and I feel bad for all those affected.
On the bright side- New Jersey finally got a bath!

It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between a Jersey Shore wop and a Mexican wetback. That's especially the case this morning.

It snowed here today. Pretty sure it won't melt, either. So, it's officially winter.

I just hope that subway will take 5 days to recover so I will not have to go to college.

But how will you get to Ikea to eat?

All I want to get now is a strawberry Zingers or some Sno Balls. I got outside yesterday at 11PM but everything was closed and I was afraid of being hit by a tree or by a powerline. I did manage to get to the mainstreet, but everything was closed and the wind was too strong to cross it and I was afraid that I would get blown away by the wind.

And here we were afraid you wouldn't.




At your weight?

As long as I am okay, I don't give a fuck about the others.
