(furiously googles..... pyrrhotite???) Well shit, this is the first I'm hearing about it and I'm measuring house basements for floor plans almost every day I work. I guess I can plead ignorance since most houses around here are much older than the period in question, but still I'm surprised I missed this up until this point. Woof.

As for condo boards and keeping a certain percentage of cash on hand, I agree 100%. As painful as it might be, there's just no other way around the issue. There's too many examples out there and they're almost all at the end of their functional lifespans.

Dedicated transit rights of way where you least expect them: Daytona International Speedway has a path that runs along W. International Speedway Blvd. that is designated for their ADA Shuttles along the main grandstand. Most tracks, NHMS in Loudon included, have some level of tramway, but they're usually at least somewhat meant to be intermingled with other traffic.

Great photo from Reddit post-Reddit Link I caught the last 5 years or so of drafting; ink on Mylar. Someone in the comments noticed a lot of the drafters are left handed. Too funny.
