For those wondering; the fridge entrance he mentioned is part of the Omega Mart attraction created by Meow Wolf. The entire store it resides in is based on supernatural, uncanny shopping mart experiences, such as self aware cleaning bottles & lemons with an eye.

This is a fantastic idea for james specifically with all his mental health issues.

Imagine this but a little bit more communal, like how Linus has his games room and cinema room etc. I love this approach to stimulating the brain while at work to allow stress levels to fizzle down for an hour or 2 during the work day before cracking on.

I am also in Canada, een in the same province as Hacksmith. Which is why I felt even vaguely qualified to comment. Zoning is a "local" issue --usually defined by the township or county or other municipal unit, with guidelines provided by the Province. Ontario started getting more assertive over municipal planning committees (and by inference, building inspectors) about 20 years ago. Which means that zoning rules are fairly uniform across the province, even when they make no sense at all. Because, you know, reasons.

@@patchvonbraun zoning laws just don’t make sense no matter where you are

[@patchvonbraun]

Not sure I can completely agree with that. I'm perfectly happy that zoning laws prevent the construction of steel mill in the middle of a residential area, for example. What doesn't make sense to me is that zoning laws imposed from "above" (above municipal level) very-often fail to recognize local circumstances. For example, throughout Ontario now, cannot have "livestock" on land of ANY size unless it is explicitly zoned agricultural. So, you can end up buying a multi-hectare property way outside of town, zoned "Rural Residential", and you still can't have a horse. Good luck getting your land re-zoned agricultural.

Imagine being a burgler breaking into Hacksmith's warehouse and walking through this seemingly normal corridor then all of a sudden all the lights go red and you see James slowly but menacingly descend from one of the lights, armed with whatever mad tech they have laying around... or a mini lightsaber.

i love these kinds of videos. The sleeping pod build and convertion to gaming-pod were my all time favorite video's, but this one really topped them all.

9:35 not gonna pretend to be an expert, but to my knowlegde, romans used round arches, the invention of the pointed arch was what started the gothic age, because a round arch distributes all the force to the side, while a pointed arch pushes mostly downwards, allowing for much higher structures (>gothic churches)
