I'm actually surprised there were never conspiracies about Ahmadinejad and Fauci being the same guy. Ahmadinejad was like a chud boogeyman for years until covid happened.
I get rubber-legged standing on the third highest rung of a tall ladder (the highest rung you can safely put your feet on). I don't know how some people are able to stand on the very top and do their work without a care in the world. One misstep or something collides with the ladder from below and you're fucked.
From what I read the bridge was built in 1898 and had its last major overhaul in 2004. NYC has seen hotter temps than 95°F/35°C during those 126 years. It got up to 108/42 degrees in 1936 for example, and broke 100/37 several times since 2004.
I feel like there's more going on there than mere thermal expansion, which should be accounted for in a rotating swing bridge like this. I don't know much about geology but could the ground on either side shift enough without, say, an earthquake causing it?
My favorite are the people who hate the big city because of the traffic, but are also opposed to any alternative form of transportation (bike lanes, trains) that would take more vehicles off the roads.
I've been coal rolled, had beer cans and other garbage thrown at me and almost clipped nearly every time I go out biking. And I live in a town with some decent bike infrastructure. If I ever retaliated, you can bet these assholes would be on Facebook in an instant talking about how aggressive and entitled cyclists are.
I still remember the way my science teacher explained a hypothetical warp drive (like how it is in Star Trek). He took a black towel, representing space, and laid it flat on a table. He set down a miniature model of the Enterprise on one end of the towel, then accordion-folded the towel up so that the other end was close to the ship. He moved the Enterprise over to that end of the towel, and unfolded it so that it was flat again. The Enterprise was now on the other end of the table.
An overly simplified visualization, but it really illustrated the idea to my ten year old brain how space-time could hypothetically be bent to make fast interstellar travel a possibility. Also it made me realize that warp speed on the Enterprise wasn't just a super powerful rocket or something.
I'm gonna be that guy from Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior for us USians) who spends the majority of the movie held hostage and tied to the front of Lord Humongous' buggy and at the end gets smashed up against the back of Mel Gibson's tanker truck when Mel brake checks Humongous.
"Obama is an Arab." "No, he's not, he's a decent family man and citizen."
Even when I was a lib I thought that take was condescending and racist as fuck. Arabs can't be decent or citizens? WTF John, and WTF libs for thinking that's taking the moral high ground??
I actually like how younger people are going more minimalist in their fashion taste. Lots of reappropriation of stereotypical work clothes, like Dickies pants, overalls, stuff like that. That's a neat trend I've noticed.
Ngl, I unironically love rugged workwear, especially winter clothes. When I was 18-19 I had a Craftsman duck canvas jacket that i found at a thrift shop. It was heavy as hell but warm and comfortable. It became my preferred style even though I don't work construction or anything like that.
I catch myself rewinding them over and over because steps happen too fast or are not clear enough. Worse so ever since YouTube fucked up the seek bar in the mobile app so it's more difficult to precision seek a video.
