Are you sure of that?

Was your phone in your pocket without turning it off?

—”If the tower had been fully vaccinated, this wouldn’t have happened.”

NO!
Not covid.

Sildenafil may help?
Check with clinton’s physician.

—”Perhaps that technique is being tried on the Millennium Tower?”

No doubt Mr Hambuger is checking seven ways to Sunday.

When not distracted by the fine print of his E&O coverage.

If the Millennium Tower comes down, it's going to take out the salesforce.com Tower as well.

That's a twofer.

“If a 645 foot sky scraper in San Francisco falls in the middle of the night, are there any squeals?”

Have you seen the Vaillancourt Fountain in San Francisco? When it was unveiled quite a few years ago a columnist said that when the next earthquake hit it could turn into a building.

I don’t think I’d trust an engineer named “hamburger” to keep a heavy object from crashing to the ground.

Leaning Tower of Sodom.
What is the Vegas line on when it will fall?
Or at whatever else one can place a related wager?
BTW - the new socially conscious math isn’t going to help in this real world situation.

It was before bed. I got a warning at 15%, continued using phone, eventually 5%notification and certain things I had ooen, saved and closed.

XiJinBiden appears to be doing what my phone does. He is owned by the PRC, of which Huawei is the largest phone company, courtesy of stealing Nortel secrets and bankrupting them. Of course True-dolt quashed all efforts to start a government inquiry into it.

The poop on the street will cushion the fall.

Probably a graduate engeneer lacking in ESG math moved on to a different line of work.

Some interesting data.

The falling skyscrapper should concern animal activists because of the threat to rats, cockroaches, and pigeons.

645 feet of twisting torsion should not be a problem.
