  • You are correct. The bending changes the microscopic crystal structure in the steel and would be a weak point. You’d have to completely redo the heat treatment to get it back to normal and at that point you’re essentially scrapping the bridge and using new steel, which is exactly what they’re gonna do because they’re not idiots like Musk

    I was in Auckland, NZ when there was an active shooter in late July and the whole city was on alert. I was expecting an American style mass shooting based on the number of sirens I heard outside. When I found out it was a disgruntled employee who shot 2 coworkers I thought “Oh, that’s just a Tuesday in America”

    Gendered articles probably not but having “a” vs “the” removes the need for additional cases (eg. I/me/my). Latin and Russian don’t have articles but they have more cases which have different suffixes that have to be applied to all nouns. Usually simplifying one part of language makes another part more complex. English has a very simple case structure but the word order is much more strict
