Beware the Vegas hotel death ray!

Not much commentary here except to question why the architects never had this occur to them (or maybe didn't care). I like the description of the beam that moves across the poolside.

Now that Obama has reversed global warming this should resolve itself.

I love P&N. No matter what something is, some crazy will come in and try to blame it on Obama/Bush/whoever. Was not dissapointed, thanks Fear! And LOL at the article--that's pretty awesome. Should be quite easy to solve, though--just cover the pool area with a small "roof" that reflects/scatters the light.

That is one of those situations that never shows up in simulations or planning . Reminds me of the Tacoma Narrows bridge. The one that on paper looked great, but when built shook itself to death because the wind blowing under it caused it to start to move up and down till it created waves that destroyed it.

Closely followed by the poster missing the sarcasm.

Indeed... Indeed.

...the result has left some guests with burns from the powerful rays making them instant millionaires and even plastic bags have been recorded as melting in the heat...

Fixed

I mean I understand how this is "news"... but it seems more suited for ATOT than P&N doesn't it?

 

[OutHouse]

This is obviously a case of the proletariat construction worker's union striking back against their evil capitalist overlords.

Ok NOW this is P&N fodder.
Thank you for the clarification.

Yes, I have a saying for this. Drop something in a pig sty and it gets covered with pig shit. It's the hammer nail thingi. Pigs eat slop and shit pig shit. These pigs are are engaged in a pig shitting contest or culture war to save a backward way of life that's dying and hence in addition to all the pig shit we hear lots of squealing.

I actually just stayed there a couple weeks ago. Very nice complex. Extremely shiny... I would imagine that the problem would be a seasonal thing, with the sun having to be in a very specific area of the sky to reflect just right.

Maybe it will show us where the well of souls is located?

It may not be so much a matter that I'm far out, but rather that you have never been anywhere.

Pretty much this.

I believe I read another article where the engineers did anticipate this because the windows have a coating that is supposed to absorb 70% of the energy. However, I guess they needed a bit more coating...

Class-action lawsuit on the way. It's stupid to try to tan in Vegas anyways unless you wear like SPF2000.

When I visited a couple weeks ago it was pretty unbearable to even walk outside for more than 10 minutes... 110F with what seemed like a constant 50 Mph wind that sucked any moisture out of you. Any uncovered skin would be burnt pretty quickly even without the death-ray.
