chitoryu12 posted:I'm going to Suicide Squad with my girlfriend tomorrow. Both of us are comic nerds and she's a giant Harley Quinn fan, so I'm concerned. I think the problem with it may be that the fans who already know all the characters will get bored sitting through all the backstory/setup, and those who don't know the characters will probably also get fed up with it. At least with the Marvel films they introduced characters individually before bringing a bunch of them together in Assemble. I think the X-Men films suffer from that a little as well. There are so many X-Men if you have more than a handful together you'll spend half the film on character introduction instead of action. I still want to see it, but it might turn out to have been to have a movie introducing half the characters first, then add the rest for Suicide Squad 2 : The Suicidening.

Actually the reviews mostly say the beginning parts introducing the characters are good.

TriggerHappy posted:Depth. The Lincoln tunnel goes to 97 feet deep, plenty of room for a cruise ship to pass over it without damaging the tunnel. In those renders that tunnel looks at most 15-20 feet deep. Royal Caribbean's biggest cruise ship is 30 feet deep below the water line. Considering the render show a loving cruise ship lane crossing the tunnel, that's kind of a big deal. Aren't most "underwater" tunnels just dug through the river/seabed in the first place? It's not like theres an actual structure lying down at the bottom. China has a great road safety track record. I see nothing wrong with an elevated tram that cars can drive under and/or trucks can slam into, that requires special intersections for it to take its wide-rear end turns while the rest of the traffic crosses.

I don't know about 'most', I think it is project-dependent. There are a lot of tunnels in Maryland and Virginia that are pre-built in sections, floated to site, sunk into a trench, and then joined together and covered with rock and silt.

Most underwater tunnels are actually just underground tunnels. This is not, which means the ocean will do very bad things to it regardless of whether a cruise ship could take it out or not. But hey, if you've ever dreamed of dying by drowning in a small enclosed space, have I got the place for you.

canyoneer posted:I prefer this deathtube quote:At speeds approaching 900 feet per second (270 m/s), deviations of 1 millimeter (0.039 in) from a straight path would add considerable buffeting and vibration, with no provisions for passengers to stand, move within the capsule, use a restroom during the trip, or get assistance or relief in case of illness or motion sickness.[73] This is in addition to the obvious practical and logistical questions regarding how to best deal with equipment malfunction, accidents, and emergency evacuations.

The mackinac is still a suspension bridge, and air is considerably more compressable and pliable than water is. Also it's suspended from rigid metal pillars. This "bridge" is suspended from the surface of the ocean. Random Stranger posted:http://www.publicdefender.mo.gov/Newsfeed/Delegation_of_Representation.PDF This is fantastic.

Floating bridges work fine somehow, so I guess it's not a massive reach to make a floating tunnel. By fine I mean there was that one bridge that had half of it float away in a storm, but hey they rebuilt the thing so I assume whatever problem was fixed?

Jose posted:This will no doubt feature in here soon So what's the clearance on that SUV? A couple feet? I can't wait for the first poor bastard to be taking his kayaks out in the summer only to have them slammed into space by the train passing overhead and collecting them. Would a campervan fit under that thing? Some old guys pickup covered in a ten foot radius of empty kegs? Has that thing been built yet because if so I hope they have a dashcam on that train I'm thinking that youtube channel will be gold. The only thing better would be if this was in Russia and you absolutely know a truck will be in those lanes and get creamed by this thing because nobody in Russia ever applies the breaks for any reason, judging by their dashcam videos.

Has that thing been built yet because if so I hope they have a dashcam on that train I'm thinking that youtube channel will be gold. I think the perspective throws things off, it looks like the SUV on the left has a good 5-6 feet of clearance between its roof and the bus. It's one of those "only in China" kind of ideas where they didn't seem to think things through completely before executing. If it doesn't flop on its own goofiness, the combination of shoddy construction, lead-based paint and flammable cargo will surely end it before it can gain any notable traction..

Floating bridges don't need to be totally waterproof. This submerged deathtrap will need multiple points of articulation across its span, each capable of flexing enough to handle the surge during storms (and cruise ship strikes) without flooding the tunnel and strong enough to handle hundreds of cars a day driving over it and the constant movement of the waves. Consider for a moment why we don't make articulated submarines. Megillah Gorilla has a new favorite as of 04:27 on Aug 4, 2016 |
