wsj just recently profiled a moderately successful office conversion that hung on being able to cut out a channel

they cut a deep channel into the "podium" floors to deliver light to the center, then re-used the permissible floor area in a "bustle" added to the back

dorks who develop a history fetish almost invariably grew up in uppermost quintile income households in the richest country in the history of man
they assume they will be the salon-havers the same way they are incapable of imagining themselves as a part of the working class or the "global south"

i don't think westfield actually requires you to break up the massing, but a lot of architects recommend doing it to make the building look less like a big box store

up close these things look like goggles for a space alien and you have to have perfect photo composition from precise angles for them to look even a little bit like normal glasses

they had to photograph that woman at a trick angle to make the glasses look that *small*
they are really quite ... bulky. and heavy. they are not pleasant to wear as glasses.

the newer generation of units they developed can't even fit into the glasses form factor
they ended up with like, a little pack on your belt
"wearables" are really a tough space and while meta is certainly the most-committed i can't say it works from a product perspective

i still disagree -- it is extremely obvious
it is already *visible* at 100 feet
by the time your hypothetical assailant is within a dangerous distance it has been readily apparent for quite some time
these things are so bulky they are *just barely* wearable at all

two apartments ago my circa 1935 boiler failed in the 2020s ... that was just a little 3-unit building. 80 years ain't half bad for a combustion-driven device with corrosive exhaust!
(it still cooked steam just fine but the heat exchanger dripped water in a way that was not worth fixing)

mega-disagree, they are extremely distinctive when you get 6' away
you can see the lenses embedded in the corners and the enormous battery packs in the arms
they only very superficially resemble the inexpensive acetate or nylon frames you are thinking of

this larb piece is the only review of the novel i have seen that avoided using the word "lurid"
as a reader deeply embedded in the world of the genre "outhouse" i was not remotely prepared for the level of nastiness presented by mcewan's characters
i enjoyed it even so!

Oil boilers last for fucking ever. Whoever chose fuel oil for a hot water or steam heat system probably made that choice 40+ years ago.
