And doubly so when it was a former Green Beret who persuaded Kaepernick to kneel as a more respectful option.

Pointing that out has had literally zero effect on anyone, as we've all learned to expect. There's always a reason why that doesn't count and it's still actually the Troop equivalent of the N-word.

How on earth would it be faster to recover, melt down, and re-cast (or forge) the steel than it would be to use existing stocks?

If only in basic logistics, it would mean that you couldn't even have a stock of material ready to go on the reconstruction until recovery was completed.

How does anyone think that Musk is anything but a drooling nepobaby at this point?

Well there are two answers to that. One is that he doesn't think about it at all. The other is that he believes you could fish the pieces out of the water and just stick them back in place as if it was a failed Lego project.

A large 3D printer... from where exactly?

Printing in steel presumably... again, where does this exist?

And printing what, exactly? What STL files of bridges do you have lying around? Even assuming you could use the previous bridge's design (you can't, material properties are different) those files don't exist, and if you use AI to generate them who is going to analyze, inspect, approve, and install them?

At least the bridge can have lots of extra fingers and knuckles

this part at least is pretty much commodity within the industrial context, although possibly not really the type of steel you want for a bridge

Dunning-Krueger gets misinterpreted and misquoted but there's some truth to the wrong reading. Some people are so arrogant that they assume the things they don't know about a topic must be inconsequential, because if they were important they'd know them because they're smart. This is a great example: this guy doesn't know a goddamn thing about what it would take to build a bridge like that but assumes that there's nothing important to know beyond what he already knows.

In this case he's doubly stupid because he's bought into the bullshit about 3d printing, AI, etc and assumes that it can do what he proposes here.

(This is the same way you get climate change deniers smugly asserting that they can "debunk" it by mentioning volcanoes, as if there's never been any climatologists who study the impact of volcanic emissions on the composition of the atmosphere and include it in their models.)

Heck Yes! Loam!

Presumably from someplace like this company.

quote:

Beyond size, the EBAM 300 is also one of the fastest industrial 3D printers commercially available with a deposition rate ranging from 7 to 20 lbs. per hour. It produced a 10-foot-long titanium aircraft structure in 48 hours at a rate of approximately 15 lbs. of metal per hour.
I don't think we'd be able to print out the entire 1.6 mile long bridge in a couple of days.

E: Quick back of the envelope math- If it takes 2 days to make a 10 foot structure, then to make an 8,500 foot bridge would take 1700 days, or about 4.7 printer-years of work, plus added time for the vertical size of the bridge. It'd be almost certainly be faster and cheaper to roll the members and weld them the usual way than to try 3d printing it.
