I don't think a bridge across a river and a bridge in the sea are necessarily comparable just for depth below the water of piles alone.mlmp08 posted:You made a very broad claim, said research backed it up, then provided a source that does not support your argument. That source responsibly has a ton of disclaimers about lack of academic rigor and insubstantial studies to draw well-researched conclusions. You chose to exclude that language from your broad claim. The source you listed also calls some of your claims up thread as “antiquated” and “dispelled” reference your views on asexuality and ASD. Were you exposed to a lot of pedantic arguments during puberty?

Source: Kyiv Independent https://kyivindependent.com/uk-general-admits-that-military-couldnt-fight-russia-for-more-than-a-couple-of-months/ UK general admits military 'couldn't fight Russia for more than a couple of months' by Nate Ostiller March 27, 2024 12:51 PM 2 min read U.K. General Rob Magowan admitted in a committee meeting on March 26 that the U.K.'s military "couldn't fight (Russia) for more than a couple of months because we don't have the ammunition and reserves of equipment to do it." The striking admission was the latest warning from U.K. defense and military officials cautioning that the country is unprepared for armed conflict. Officials from other NATO countries have repeated similar concerns. The U.K.'s parliament released a bipartisan report in February 2024 that said the armed forces have yet to break the "vicious cycle" of equipment and manpower shortages that continue to hinder its preparation for a high-intensity war. Magowan's acknowledgment on March 26 went even further as he responded to a direct question from lawmaker Mark Francois about the ability of the U.K. to fight Russia. "We are not ready for an enduring war, do you accept that?" Francois asked, to which Magowan responded, "Yes, absolutely." "We could not fight an enduring war against Russia, drop all these euphemisms about peer adversaries," Francois continued. Magowan conceded that government spending on defense "does not meet, in all areas, the threats that we face." At the same time, U.K. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said that a situation in which the U.K. would fight Russia alone is unlikely. "For people watching, and hearing that the U.K. isn't ready for war exclusively with Russia, it’s important to understand that because we are in NATO and Article 5 (mutual defense clause) exists, (so) we would never be in that situation."

500excf type r posted:Which is the bridge crossing a sea the fsk bridge over the patapsco is technically like 6 miles from the chesapeake bay, but the water there is like 50-ft deep, brackish, and subject to tidal action. the design criteria for that is going to be similar to a bridge over a sea. though, the padma is extremely deep and in a seismically active area prone to extreme flooding. plus the bridge supports railroads so it has to be very strong. the piles for the padma bridge are the deepest in the world at 127 m! so each one has challenges. also worth mentioning that the fsk bridge has to accommodate giant cargo ships and naval/coast guard ships, and that it has to get tall enough in the middle for that with only a couple miles. plus it's in a heavily developed area instead of a giant flood plain. interesting to note though that the padma bridge was designed by gigantic american firm AECOM

a couple of months is a wildly optimistic estimation for the endurance of the British military in a conventional war that is almost exactly as long as the last conventional war they fought lasted, which was over 40 years ago, was fought using a much larger and stronger military than they have now, was much lower intensity than a war with Russia would be, and still seriously strained their logistics

labor cost is probably the primary difference between the two bridge costs. in bangladesh people make like $100/month as garment workers. assuming that scales that could mean labor costs could be 1/40th of what a construction laborer makes in baltimore (~$20/hr)

Flournival Dixon posted:I think it's genuinely possible that America just can't rebuild a bridge that big at this point, how would you even do it? There's so little industrial capacity left and it costs so much to pay your way through all the grift and poo poo that's in the way. the mario cuomo bridge between westchester and rockland counties is 3 miles long and took from 2013-2018 to build for 4 billion dollars. it replaced a bridge that had not fallen over but presumably that doesnt matter. the key bridge is about half the length.

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:I got probed for pointing this out, but research suggests this, and the furry thing, is the result of autistic children hitting puberty and not being able to differentiate sexual ideation, the source of their sexual urges, from media they enjoy. If they hit puberty and start experiencing hormonal arousal, attraction, while watching anthropomorphized children’s cartoons, they direct the feelings towards the source of their other “good feelings”, because they can’t figure it out. Thus, furries, a fetishistic practice that is nigh universally composed of ASD people. Similarly, if they consume Japanese animation, they similarly confuse their bodies’ arousal caused by puberty, a “good feeling”, with the source of their other “good feelings”, Japanese cartoons, and direct their urges there. edit: deleted, no point hmhb fan has issued a correction as of 15:51 on Mar 27, 2024 |

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:Having highly restricted interests and having sensory peculiarities in ASD may possibly set the stage for developing fetishism and other paraphilias in individuals with certain sensory profiles among other factors. Non- sexual restricted, repetitive interests and behaviors in childhood may morph into sexualized, if not frank sexual, restricted, repetitive interests in adolescence. The same tactile or olfactory peculiarities manifested by various stereotypic behaviors seen in childhood may similarly influence the development of sexual behaviors later on. That is, early, inadvertent conditioning to sensory stimuli that is appealing during pre-puberty may lead to a powerful union between specific ASD sensory-seeking and sexual arousal through masturbation. This notion of early conditioning to deviant stimuli is not a new concept [51]; it just has not been isolated as a factor and empirically studied.
