How to Break Up with a Guy

Writer Hillary Kelly comments, "This is how you do it." Agreed. None of this nonsense about 'Let's stay friends and prolong the agony.' End a relationship with finality and move on, as demonstrated by Helene Schjerfbeck, a Finnish painter who died in 1946.

We learn this lesson thanks to Jennifer Higgie, who arrived at this research dead end while writing The Mirror and the Palette: Rebellion, Revolution, and Resilience: Five Hundred Years of Women's Self Portraits.

interesting idea, good luck actually making it work. My guess is you'd have to have the kitchen and bathrooms on the main concrete core. The other rooms could rotate around them. I just don't know how you'd get water to work otherwise.

I could see it *maybe* with some creative use of PEX. But only maybe.

I'm still confused about power generation. How can the power it takes to rotate a floor not offset any gains made by the rotation?

how will they be powered?

"The towers are expected to generate enough electricity for themselves and other nearby buildings from solar panels and up to 79 wind turbines fitted horizontally between each floor."

it says it right there in the page.

there's a better video on the BBC news website that explains it better

The architect claims a degree from an institution that does not exist and his publicist had made some very bizarre and non sequitar responses to such claims. This ain't gonna happen unless George Jetson is elected in November.

"...how will plumbing and other utilities be provided to apartments?"

Electricity would be really easy to control to the point that it shouldn't even be an issue in anyones mind. Anyone who has tinkered with it before will know that "plugs" and "wires" aren't the only things one can use to control it's flow.

Plumbing, on the other hand, I have no clue how that would work.
