    Would you like to learn more?

    I don't understand shit about building skyscrapers, but this looks as if they are more assembling it than acutally build the thing. More like putting together some oversized lego blocks.

    Also, it's incredibly ugly and gives off a very bad dystopian alternate 1920s vibe.

    Somewhat unimaginative building design. Lots of right angles. I guess 90 days doesn't give much time for creativity.

    This thing will be all of 40 feet shy of the summit of Slieve Donard.

    Which means nothing to most of you no doubt, but to me, and undoubtedly to RickDeckard, it's a meaningful mental yardstick.

    Half an hour later they build another one.
    Remember, these guys have coal-powered poison dog-food/crayon factories, so I'm guessing it's not a big concern for them.

    Oh, people here know what they is.

    It's a large mountain from which you can throw yourself off.

    I'm pretty sure the dark lord Sauron had a hand in it.

    Sort of like building a tower out of cheap Lego knock offs.

    I like it. That's the sort of thing you'd get if you told me to design a skyscraper.
