Hey Elon, you think that a Cyber Cuck TRVKKKK could just like pull that boat out of there so they can get rid of the old bridge faster?

I found a neat live stream of them working on the bridge. It's the same one that caught the initial impact:

Cybertrucks can temporarily act as boats, so they should be able to drive over the bridge as is.

LOL

Of course not. The thing is hopelessly beached and the hull looks compromised. But I bet I could grift the Biden admin for another cool stack of billions by announcing a sky crane company copy-pasting JPL's thing they used for landing the Mars rovers except with like electric turbine engines. Hell, I'll call them hyperjets or skyLoops or some poo poo. I mean the fools bought my loving cartoon starship as a component of the Artemis moon mission, LOL! Total utter clown admin. I can claim the sky cranes are super necessary lifters needed to peel the containers off the ship and also lift bridge components in place much faster than you know the ordinary floating cranes they'll have to use eventually. But I'll have fun in the meantime burning $$$$$.

We left the bridge out overnight and some helpful elves repaired. The current conversation is centered on whether we make clothes for the elves as a show of thanks or offer them an infant.

More important is the fact that they can tow near infinite mass, they should have just strung up the ship to one. At least they can just tie the wreckage to a truck and drive it out of the river

We don't want to make the new bridge anything too fancy. It is still Baltimore, after all. It should blend in with the general bleakness of everything else.

I feel like I would see a bridge if I was piloting that boat. I'd probably even be aware that it was there beforehand.

Maybe not, I've never piloted a boat, but it just seems like you'd notice it.

Bridges are ambush predators, so they're actually pretty good at laying in wait unnoticed untill they've pray is directly underneath and they can pounce down onto them.

You can ofter walk by dozens of bridges a day and never even see them.

that's superdeterminism at work.

it's depressing in a way because there is no better timeline.

all of experience is a 4D crystal. what we perceive as choices and decisions in reality amounts to nothing more than an endless cascade of causes and effects slowly unfolding.

The most recent messages in that livestream chat pointed out that the crew is still on the boat, not allowed to leave until the investigation is complete. That makes sense, but is pretty brutal for them.

This is fair only if the people on the bridge & in the water are also not allowed to leave.
