Quick home swimming pool

Here's one built by a couple of teenagers in a few minutes...

(As the article points out, the building was probably not designed with that weight in mind.)

This sort of idea has been used in third world countries to hold tem water stores etc, but I don't think using rooms in your house this way is to be condoned. Just how far is the water from the electricity sockets? Brian

Although most soviet era russian flats are built out of reinforced concrete. I would not try it with a brick building as I suspect the walls would give way.

Quote:

"One person posting on Russian social media about the images said: 'The water is about half a metre high, which means it is about half a ton for every square metre'"

Saves me... That would be a lot of load on the floor!

The thickness of the polyethylene film apparently!

Plus the gap from socket face to live bits

Uniformly distributed though. I think the worry would be the outward pressure on the walls.

The SiL manages not to fall though the floor at her house and she must put a similar load on the floor

Anyone surmise why the Daily Mail blows up my Firefox? It 100% consumes one CPU and after a few moments I get a popup saying that there's an unresponsive script.

I've noticed that FF is becoming too flaky for comfort lately. Mine regularly crashes with a note about "Plugin container has crashed" and an option to phone home to Mozilla to tell them about it. It may be better in Linux.

I wish it'd learn how to free-up memory, OK I don't help it with zillions of tabs open, but it could flush the state from the least used tabs to disk (like it does between crashes) and load it back if I ever revisit that tab again ...

Try disabling the silverlight plugin (or even better un-install silverlight itself).

Should have mentioned - I'm running Linux ...

I usually find that's some social media javascript trying to track you, usually adblock helps, sometimes it hinders ... noscript might help, I don't use it as I find some javascript stuff is useful but CBA compiling a whitelist.

I have them all turned off via Tools > Add-ons unless I want to watch something that specifically needs them. I froze the version at 21 too as it allows you to turn off scripting easily if you want.

Doesn't do it here (FF28.0 on Windows 7), but I have Adblock and Ghostery installed. Ghostery blocked 13 trackers when I loaded the homepage just now; I've seen as many as 19 on the Torygraph site.

[Huge]

Adblock & Ghostery here, too.

Oh, well. I just won't go to the Daily Bile site. No loss.
