The perfect pool when you're up for a swim.

How's it working out for ice skating this week?

That would allow for an incredible new type of "upper decker".

Nice how the building architecture provides a nice vanishing point far below.
 
2023-02-07 2:57:13 AM  
Such a lovely view as well...

I have a massive fear of heights and I'd LOVE to try that

Why the hell would you build something like that?
 
2023-02-07 3:15:07 AM  
Not sure if it's the same pool, but I saw a similar setup the one time I visited Houston for work some years ago ... from street level.

Hell no. Especially with Texas having presumably 'Murica construction standards.

Because it makes money, like those glass bottomed platforms that hang out the side of the Sears Tower that they charge a lot of money from people that want to stand on them.  I look forward to the day that this pool collapses and a bunch of swimmers make a so very long and unexpected swan dive.
 
2023-02-07 3:21:31 AM  
The lensing effect from the water could goatse the entire area...

That's the rub for me, I'd absolutely do that, just not in Texas. But heights don't both me, I've mountain climbed, skydived, and even parasailed after skiing down a scree field and off a 4k foot cliff. I just like to control my risk exposure to things I do, not corners cut by the contractor and ignored by the inspector.

I used to want to swim in one of these. They look cool.

Since the massive failure of the gigantic aquarium in Germany, nope. Pass.

Water is 8lbs/gallon so that glass is holding up some considerable weight.
/Yeah, I'll pass.  I don't trust anything in Texas to not be poorly made.
 
2023-02-07 4:06:47 AM  
It'd be ok, but the street view sucks, all farking brown and car-y..  If it was over a big park or something, that would be better.

/also lowest bidder
//hell no thanks.

I don't climb, in fact heights terrify me although I do ski and fly small planes. Did skydive once and that was enough. If you are ever in Utah and want to grab some laps at Alta let me know.

Maybe it's for wind sway and earthquakes?

Why put a huge weight at the top of the building taking up space, when it could be something functional?

Of course, a standard mass damper is going to be a pendulum, so the weight ends up pulling the building back to center.

/also has no idea what sloshing would do in this case
//as a partially filled tanker truck is less stable than a full truck
///and if you hit the right resonance it could be very, very bad

You got to Art of War this stuff.

You don't have to care if people pee in the pool if you never enter a public pool in the first place.

Welcome to our L.

You'll notice there's no POO in it.

Please keep it that way.

Yeah, you can nope right the fark out of here with that big ol' pool of nope. While you're at it, you can put it in your nope pipe and smoke it while riding the nope train out of here to Nopenopeville.

Do you want to see a disembodied poo float through the air, because this is how you see a disembodied poo float through the air.
