water pipes, electrical runs, conduit, network cabling, etc. I may be old fashioned but I think without a ceiling it just looks cheap and ridiculous. here is a pic from the vox media walkout day before yesterday as an example.


interviewing at a place like that, one of my first questions would be how they expected to pay my salary if they couldn't even afford to finish the building.

Ideally it is also full of insulation to reduce heating and cooling related energy use. I'm pretty sure it isn't even cost related, but rather that higher ceilings give the impression of more space, which tricks people into feeling slightly less like escaping.

I can't wait for Grover-esque architecture to finally catch on.

Can you imagine grandeur of a Grover-designed church, or a high-rise apartment complex with Grover-influences? I can already see the fire escapes strategically-positioned by the knee-high windows in every stairwell landing...

Also if I remember right the biggest thing wrong with his lovely work was that the way he built the roof was structurally unsound.

Grover had a lot of things going on besides his house. He was an Iraq War cheerleader and made famously idiotic predictions about how well it would turn out, he thought his government contracting job entitled him to some sort of "support our troops" style respect, he was a lovely mod, and he was just an all around dumbass.

We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed.

4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode.

5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit.

6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed.

7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

the cheap knock off "Aeron" style chairs probably aren't much fun to sit in either, but maybe thats not too Groverhaus since it matches the lovely, uncomfortable look of the rest of the place.
