It'll probably burn before the lawyers get a piece, the ventilation plan is literally "hey let's make the entire building full of dry paper a giant chimney flue" :nfpa:



https://transsolar.com/projects/cornell-fine-arts-library

this is honestly whats best for keeping that level of paper together. One of the biggest struggles for big collections is keeping poo poo dry, clean, and mold-free. A lot of that cost is prolly put into air circulation and filtering, because that collection is worth a shitload.

plus, these are stacks. these are meant for low-circulation items mainly for storage. not for really general browsing and stuff.

the safety poo poo like stretchers not fitting in the elevator or the look up see undies design is hosed up.

A related lawsuit, filed Friday on behalf of Gold Star families and dozens of veterans, accuses the Iranian government of providing material support to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, including weapons, funding and training. "As it did in Iraq, we believe the Iranian government's activities in Afghanistan helped enable anti-American terror on a massive scale," said Josh Branson, a partner at the Washington-based Kellogg Hansen law firm, which is one of the firms representing the families.

I am shocked. SHOCKED! That cash is being exchanged for security in GWOT 2001-20**. Pacification through cash injection became the mission once everyone realized de-baathification maybe did more harm than good. As if cash could ever possibly address either or both the TRUE BELIEVER and the NATIVE HOSTAGE. I'd blame Kilcullen, or Petraeus' interpretation of Kilcullen, but it's been a long time since I read him and I don't want to loving read anything right now to double-check.

Anyways. Only a loving rube would think there's an actionable difference between payoffs by Uncle Sam and payoffs by the howling, all-consuming international corporate void-entity operating the Uncle Sam skinsuit. 'MURIKA's wet-eyed cries for war against FUGGIN MOOS-LIMS sealed the fate of all those unfortunate sons splattered across contracted gravel- SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT FROM FALLUJAH TO MARJAH. But everyone wants a loving handout and nobody wants to take goddamn ownership.

Isn’t this basically Warfighting in late stage capitalism.txt? Outsource all your supply and support needs to save costs, and then you end up relying on the very people you’re bombing to smithereens. Of course they want to continue profiting so they’ll prolong the war as long as possible. Taliban saw this long before the US, while Americans binge on stories about heroic navy SEALs. Win-win for the taliban and military industrial complex.

Waging wars should be costlier. Bring back the draft.

Yeah, hilarious exterior aside, it's apparently not just the largest hospital in Europe, but also one of the most modern in the world after renovation and upgrading.
I'm fairly sure it pops up in the wet dreams of logistics information systems majors very frequently.
