Speaking of anti-glare glasses, has anyone tried Gunnars? The GWJ guys swear by them.
Oh those are those douchey gamer glasses. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. I need a pair of reading glasses. I may just go with Warby Parker. Or I may order some cheap frames from China and do a local prescription. Dunno if these are knockoffs but even if they are they're a hell of a lot cheaper than what you're paying for a brand name here. I like the ByWP and Tom Ford frames. They sell 'em for $45 while buying them here is in the $300-$500 range so it's pretty substantial savings.

No need to drop this kind of money on hardware when you can buy the Shitbox One for peanuts and it's 50 million times more powerful anyway!!!

| None of their IPs is worth any money. Certainly not the good will for the prices they're asking. Far easier to do an original IP that's an homage. |

Who the hell would hire someone like that? It never ceases to amaze me. Fucking suits basically destroy a company while getting paid an obscene amount, walk out with a golden parachute, and move on to do it somewhere else. Meanwhile, most people are lucky if they can hold on to their job for the slightest infraction. Tell me again how we're free?

There are much more promising deep foundation structures but the prohibitive factor is always cost and implementation which are practically insurmountable.
Try thinking outside the box for once. Domes are far more aesthetically pleasing, far cheaper and easier to build and maintain, and hold many advantages that standard dwellings do not. Your options are keep building the same stuff to get destroyed repeatedly or housing that people can't afford when far cheaper alternatives already exist? You're the one being ridiculous here.

A dwelling sized geodesic dome would be obliterated by the debris, if not ripped apart by the tornado itself. The idea is humorous but it would be totally ineffective, not to mention a ridiculous waste of money.
I don't know of any that have been put to the tornado test but more than one have survived the hurricane test, that much I know. And if you're doing lightweight materials at least you can strike your home before the event hits and thus, save it. More solid materials? Depends on a lot of factors really. So no, there's nothing ridiculous about it. Plonking down the same old boxes over and over and over again only to be destroyed is what's ridiculous. But hey, if you like footing the bill for it as a taxpayer that's your perogrative though I'm sure most of your fellow taxpayers would disagree.

Uh, they have never built them to withstand an EF5 tornado...
Geodisic domes do, that's why I pointed it out yesterday. They survive hurricanes too. No flat sides means nothing for the wind to catch. So in those zones that style of housing would be infinitely wiser to build. Same as having stilt houses for people who live in flood prone areas. That would all make sense though.
