Were any of the crucial calculations made by a woke engineer?

If the aquarium is inside, how could freezing temperatures cause a crack? Lack of fossil fuels, and limitations on their use could have caused a reduction in heating of the building.

What is that a picture of? I don’t see any water.

Do you see those drains in the street? Several hours ago they were flooded. Water seeks the lowest elevation and therefore has drained out of sight. More pics at Yahoo and Google if you’re interested.

LOL LOL. Yeah there are some jokes to be told...
To: BipolarBob
Especially with water, one has to ask about where it's all going to flow if something fails. I see more and more design and construction where it's clear that neither the engineers nor the insurance companies have the foresight to ask "what if?".
"It will never break."
"Everything works perfectly all the time."
"It doesn't need a redundant system." (I see this especially with electronics in vehicles where one cheap switch knocks the whole system out).
Or in the case of Pfizer and Pfauci:
"We didn't test it but we can assure you that it's safe and effective."

“There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight caused a crack in the acrylic glass tank, ...”
What ... was this thing outside? I would assume that this aquarium would be indoors since it housed tropical fish. I would also assume that the building would be heated to 72 degrees or higher for tropical fish, not to mention heating the water.
Or were they ordered to turn the temp down in the building (or off) during the night time?

House Atreides is one of those disgusting Putin Stooges who needs to invent bs to assuage his crushed feelings due to Putin's failed Terror Invasion of Ukraine.
Let's all pity his sad existence.
Living rent free in the head of a deranged Putin Stooge for the past 9 months, 3weeks and 2 days of Putin's failed Terror Invasion of Ukraine LOL!

Another product of superior German engineering.

Thatās so obvious, but it got past both the reporter and the editor.

Ignoring that Putin Stooge Fool is being too nice.
I am not that nice.

Or were they ordered to turn the temp down in the building (or off) during the nighttime? I wonder how many water pipes are breaking in European residential and commercial buildings as the heat is turned down to conserve energy and costs.
