Structural engineer Bob Greer said “I don’t know of any building code in the world that would allow a 73 kg (160 lb) man to run up against a glass and withstand it."[6]

And that doesn’t even help with people leaving.

In 1993, one of its partners, Garry Hoy,[4] died after throwing himself against a glass window of its downtown Toronto-Dominion Centre office, in a playful attempt to demonstrate the strength of the window.[5] The window frame gave way, and Hoy fell to his death from the 24th floor.[1][6][7] The shock of losing one of its most successful lawyers was a contributing factor in the firm’s decline and fall, and the firm lost nearly 30 lawyers in the following three years.[1]

In 1996, the firm closed permanently amid controversy over unpaid bills.[1][8] Until the closing of Goodman and Carr in 2007, it was the largest law firm failure in Canadian history.[1][2]

This might be a time when a move and company rename (all that company refresh stuff) might work.

Like the alien watching Friends.

But the only gas discovered in the atmosphere so far is helium, probably in the upper atmosphere, which on its own would not support life.

But there may be other, more life-sustaining gases, lower down.

What about vapes?

Solving the problem once and for all.

Oh God this is real isn’t it.

This is how I’ve heard it described.

When over a parking lot, you can’t have supports columns every few feet. So now you’re spanning with a beam, then you need bigger columns, and bigger foundations. Construction of that is also more complicated requiring concrete, cranes, etc. It all adds up.

You could also be aggressive with the design in the field because if it tips over in a storm, who the fuck cares. You just pick it up and redo it.

They likely won’t be able to take the additional weight of the solar panels, according to code anyway.

The result: distinct traces of several biomarkers for opium, such as noscapine, hydrocotarnine, morphine, thebaine, and papaverine. That’s consistent with an earlier identification of opiate residues found in several Egyptian alabaster vessels and Cypriot juglets excavated from a merchant’s tomb south of Cairo, dating back to the New Kingdom (16th to 11th century BCE).

The authors think these twin findings warrant a reassessment of prior assumptions about Egyptian alabaster vessels, many of which they believe could also have traces of ancient opiates. A good starting point, they suggest, is a set of vessels excavated from Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter. Many of those vessels have the same sticky dark brown organic residues. There was an early attempt to chemically analyze those residues in 1933 by Albert Lucas, who simply didn’t have the necessary technology to identify the compounds, although he was able to determine that the residues were not unguents or perfumes. Nobody has attempted to analyze the residues since.

I can keep track but I thought things under the USMCA were exempt?
