Building implosion
In the controlled demolition industry, building implosion is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate surroundings. Despite its terminology, building implosion also includes the controlled demolition of other structures, like bridges, smokestacks, towers, and tunnels. This is typically done to save time and money of what would otherwise be an extensive demolition process with construction equipment, as well as to reduce construction workers exposure to infrastructure that is in severe disrepair.
Building implosion, which reduces to seconds a process which could take months or years to achieve by other methods, typically occurs in urban areas[citation needed] and often involves large landmark structures.
The actual use of the term "implosion" to refer to the destruction of a building is a misnomer. This had been stated of the destruction of 1515 Tower in West Palm Beach, Florida. "What happens is, you use explosive materials in critical structural connections to allow gravity to bring it down.
The term "implosion" was coined by my grandmother back in, I guess, the '60s. It's a more descriptive way to explain what we do than "explosion". There are a series of small explosions, but the building itself isn't erupting outward. It's actually being pulled in on top of itself. What we're really doing is removing specific support columns within the structure and then cajoling the building in one direction or another, or straight down.
- โStacy Loizeaux, NOVA, December 1996
Building implosion techniques do not rely on the difference between internal and external pressure to collapse a structure. Instead, the goal is to induce a progressive collapse by weakening or removing critical supports; therefore, the building can no longer withstand gravity loads and will fail under its own weight
Numerous small explosives, strategically placed within the structure, are used to catalyze the collapse. Nitroglycerin, dynamite, or other explosives are used to shatter reinforced concrete supports. Linear shaped charges are used to sever steel supports. These explosives are progressively detonated on supports throughout the structure. Then, explosives on the lower floors initiate the controlled collapse.
A simple structure like a chimney can be prepared for demolition in less than a day. Larger or more complex structures can take up to six months of preparation to remove internal walls and wrap columns with fabric and fencing before firing the explosives.

Is mao a lib for not killing puyi?
Premtive, This is a joke 
Not gonna lie, it's kinda bullshit that I HAVE TO take my UNPAID thirty minute break or else I get managers up my ass over it
I pretty much can't take a break until lunch is over and like, if I want to just fuck off and go home at that point I should be able to instead of having to clock out, eat, then wait to clock back in just to clean up and go
JD Vance being like โI canโt attend the 9/11 event because I have to fly out to Utah, a place I definitely havenโt already been at for over 24 hoursโ
Fbi release photos of suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting 
He was right about everything
They are still selling American Comeback tour T-shirts.
It's fitting, that debate was ended by a quintessentially American comeback.
we should sell "american clapback" shirts with a picture of the gun on it
I think i nailed the interview!
Hipe it works out for you.
Something about Charlie Kirk posts being liked by everyone in my LinkedIn network seems ominous to me
What the fuck does Charlie Kirk have to do with employment
Actually, scratch that, duh. This is consent manufacturing in action. I mean, the fact that Trump was the first to break the news tells all. Fuck
I feel like the LinkedIn types would love him a way. After all in their eyes he was probably just a successful smol bean entrepreneur who built Turning Piss into one of the more recognizable right-wing alternative media/think tanks. LinkedIn is a fucking capitalist cesspool anyway.
And one of the only places where you can go to find a job ๐
The cool thing about the AI era is theyโre not only trying to replace call center support, but even the automated systems that had already existed are much worse than before. I just tried to get a package held for me with UPS and instead of having me punch in the tracking code with my phone pad it wants me to say it out loud, and it is terrible at figuring out the tracking code. Lots of number letter confusion that should be caught by validating if itโs the expected character type for the position. Stop hiring โcrackedโ ML engineers who just graduated, this shit was functioning perfectly fine a decade ago. Please rehire your software engineers that actually knew how to do their jobs.
The chatbots also put up more resistance before forwarding you to staff now. And as Iโve said, these things are just notably worse than pre-llm, which is fucking wild. I donโt even necessarily think itโs a weakness of the language model, itโs because corporate is so bad at separating out grifters from actual engineers and these systems are built by the dumbest MBAs who took a single random โAIโ โcertificationโ.
Seriously contemplating moving to a cabin in the woods before this cycle catches up to us enough that planes, trains, and automobiles start exploding on the regular.
What's a good free video editor? I want to dub the blasting of Charlie Kirk with half life sounds
davinci resolve
Don't forget about the original and more important 911. Allende, his comrades, and all people that were robbed of their project only to then suffer under a US backed dictatorship, I hope your dream someday comes to fruition 
ok going hiking in the mountains to celebrate ~~9/11~~ Charlie Kirk Day. i'm sure when i return we'll get to see all the messages written and learn it's antifa and the dems are now a designated terrorist org
the libs will show their bellies, accept their new status and let themselves get mass arrested, and all run as independents in a permanent one party state
ugh yeah hopefully there will be no cell service
One of the best feeling days in a while for me. 
. I wish to wake up to such good news every day.
I went for a bike ride last night and felt the hopeful air I haven't felt since childhood. I realized then that it wasn't the innocence of youth I was missing, but the feeling of hope for the future, and that those feelings are absolutely not locked forever in the past. It was a feeling of immense relief, like a claw around my throat loosening just enough for a tiny breath of air. This life can be more than just waiting to die.
The fuck does tampax (tm) want my location for????
umm...targeting ๐ฏ
The r/conservative Charlie Kirk mourning post appears to have 41 poop emoji reddit gold stickers on it. Am I seeing that right?

Entry level job be like: 3 years exp necessary but we wont count your internships
Markets are up today. Fiscal conservatives you know what has to be done.
I expect apologies from all the Mamdani doubters on this webzone after today's news that he has changed his campaign slogan to "GO FOR THE THROAT!"
Just misread a CNN headline as "Charlie Kirk Still Dead"
Hitting myself with a cartoon hammer until my teeth turn into piano keys and fall out. I think this is the only way to make my brain not overthink everything
Ooooh I just realized: Matt Walsh could be the next one.
Anyways happy 11/9
Working up the list until Ben Shapirio barricades himself in his house and goes mad
Mr. President, a second dipshit was shot in the neck
Libs are smooth-brained organisms who think that every horrible thing you did in life is forgiven if you die in tragic circumstances. By that logic, Hitler is a saint since he tragically died at a young age by suicide. "I don't agree with his politics but we should send thoughts and prayers to Hitler"
