This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In Europe windows are mounted to the walls with a pretty thick layer of foam to avoid stress from the walls. Isn't that a common thing everywhere?
As far as I am aware, it is not standard practice in India. Also, generally speaking in day-to-day, windows don't carry stress from the walls. This could change during earthquakes.
