coincidence

my OCD can confirm this coincidence, since it doesn't happen to me.
 Quoting: Mordier L'eft



you count stairs too and find they are not built in sets of 13? I dont believe you. the below poster proves they are in sets of 13.


Wall height is 8 feet.
When cutting the stringers for a staircase, there are codes that must be followed.
Here, it is a rise of no more than 7.75 per step.

The variable between the rise of the first step and the last can be no more than 3/8 inch.
Usually the general rule is 7.5 rise by 10 inch run.
Depends on the floor finish.

Do the math.

There is the esoteric and the exoteric and the freemasons are the master builders who use stairways as an important part of their traditions and rituals. rather than saying there was a conspiracy I was merely highlighting the link.
I have no issue with the number 13 either.

so why is the wall 8ft and the rise no more than 7.75? why not 8.5ft and 7.5 rise?

Gotta have a standard to build with.
You could use any size of anything but the different materials must match dimensions, ultimately.

The rise and run have to do with ease of climbing and balance.
The 1.5 inch overhang on treads is also for balance.

13 is merely a number.
One more than twelve.. one less than 14.

The 7/10 rise/run standard for humans is uncomfortable for reptilians...

If you get chased by one, find and run up a flight of stairs and you will lose him in the dust.

Kind the opposite of running from a bear.
Run downhill from a bear.. he has no brakes going downhill. At the last moment.. dodge sideways and the bear will keep going till he hits the bottom..

By then you can distance yourself from the bear
or from your slower friends, at least.

Hope this helps..
