This is why they need to stop building their infrastructure out of cardboard and insulation

Insulation? Where?

u/-blundertaker- 22h ago

Insulation is usually just used for exterior walls

Insulation is used for interior walls as well.

Unless of course you want to hear what's going on the next room.

I said usually.

Generally 2 layers of sheet rock do well enough for sound dampening.

But hey, what do I know? I've only been on hundreds of residential construction sites. 🙄

Proper sound insulation needs a double layer of fibre reinforced gypsum, 10 cm of rockwool, and a double layer of fibre reinforced gypsum.
That's a total of 80mm gypsum and 100mm rockwool.

But what do I know? I just read up on building code.

And that may happen in multi-family housing.

Your googling doesn't supercede my experience working in hundreds of single family homes.

Interior insulation isnt the standard there. Even less so in commercial/public buildings.

It's okay to be wrong.

Googling?

I am simply telling you the rules.
You may live in a different place, where rules are different, and people can walk through walls.

He should have been hand cuffed to the table if he wasn't free to go. If he was free to go it was idiotic to do that

What if a diabetic suspect needs to check his blood glucose?

Then you hit the little button on the desk to get their attention and when the camera blinks explain yourself. Any decent officer would then realise that your life is in danger without your insulin and send someone over to help administer.

It is the US, though, so whether that actually works or not is another question entirely. But still, worth a try

And in the US still most houses are made of wood, not brick. Then there's always billions in destruction whenever natural disasters occur.

If your house is going to collapse over you due to hurricane/tornado/earthquake, do you want masonry covering you or drywall? Which would be easier to dig your way out of?

u/CalmEntry4855 22h ago

Our houses don't collapse in the first place

u/Illustrious_Loss462 21h ago

When was the last time you had a hurricane or tornado near by?

3

u/Biomech8 21h ago

Usually it just destroys some roofs. But buildings stays.

u/juju515 22h ago

oh boy, do I have a story for you:

"Three little piglets wanted to build a house..."

u/Chimpville 22h ago

You know the collapse doesn't need to happen, right?

u/4Exits 21h ago

Brick walls don’t blow over…

2

u/InfamousCattle3223 21h ago

Nonsense. I’ve seen the side of Walmart blown completely out by a tornado. They are just a strong wind you know.

u/Straight-Self2212 22h ago

Why do you guys think that some brick is gonna stop storms that can be seen from space and summon tornadoes like some dark souls boss?

If brick was as strong as you redditors seem to think, we might as well build giant domes of brick and mortar around cities to make them indestructible from missiles nuclear bombs, and whatever the hell else is gonna strike them, no? Should someone have told the romans? It's the byzantines? Yeah , bro , as long as you use brick and mortar, literally nothing on planet earth can touch you?

My gosh dude...

Living in a brick building during the summer in New England was absolutely brutal. Can’t imagine how much worse that would be in most other parts of the country
