Malloc Voidstar posted:https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/transportation/baltimore-bridge-collapse-bodies-found-EI2DYQFAFVEZ5GUCEJHT5GUZBA/ This statement seems like it has the potential to mislead people into thinking the key bridge was an outlier. The vast majority of bridges are probably just several feet long or some concrete structure going over farmer jim bob’s creek or whatever, not spanning a long enough distance to require a complex fracture critical truss system. I’d like to know the proportion of bridges spanning an equivalent distance as the key bridge that are fracture critical, because it’s probably more than 3%.

I was thinking about this. Do people in normal jobs not learn how to use form letters? Like, are most people expected to write all business correspondence from scratch each time? Because, if so, then using ChatGPT to write emails is functionally the same as Webster's New World Letter Writing Handbook, only you are giving your work information to Open AI.

Retromancer posted:I think a factor in hobbytalk no one has mentioned yet is that a lot of hobbies require other people to enjoy and lol at trying to get even 3-4 adults in a room someplace consistently if they're not getting paid. is there a good theory as to why people these days (in their 30s) are so drat flaky and hate making plans? were people always like this?

For the low price of $35 a head, your organization can pay microsoft to have chatgpt to stare at your emails constantly and generate replies at the touch of a buttom So chatgpt basically emails itself back and forth and it “owns”

thrifting is the best hobby and it dovetails nicely with the great American pastime of complaining, as most vendors at antiques malls basically complain nonstop about the prices that the other vendors are charging for the same things that they sell

used to be if you and the boys were wandering around the woods on the outskirts of town, you had maybe a 20% shot of finding a moldy porn stash under a log. don't hear of that happening anymore. we're losing our communal sacralities.

I know plenty of people in the civil inspection industry that should have retired long ago but keep getting called in cause actual practical expertise and knowledge is invaluable and the whole thing has slipped through the cracks of perspective jobs lol.

When desegregation was mandated by law, they filled the pool in and told black people to go gently caress themselves. We eradicated our third spaces because black people might use them.

I can't speak to everyone else but I hem and haw over buying a game that's on sale on steam for a handful of bucks despite probably enjoying it so the idea of going out to whatever trendy brewpub opened in the area and spending 30 bucks for a beer and basic entreee is both the most common invite and something I'll 100% ghost on when it comes up. Hanging out is expensive. There's stuff that's cheap or free and I've certainly done it with new work acquaintances, but it's rare because there's a cultural element that makes inviting someone over to share variety pack and play bonanza or w/e a substantially weirder ask then agreeing to drop a couple hours worth of wages each on a mediocre outing.

No one is, though. They're all working or doing "side hustles". You're actually a giant lazy piece of poo poo if you don't have a "side hustle" (we used to call that a second job)
