Absolutely right, phone autocorrected and it looked right so I didn’t question it.

Good thing most other people could still tell what I meant though and it didn’t affect the conversation.

What about mass tuned dampeners? Are they not part of the civil engineering of skyscrapers and bridges?

Interesting, I just build the stuff and bitch when it doesn’t work and than gripe with you guys about “contractor to verify onsite conditions”.

Yes, the river mouth is 3m wider than the print. No we left the steel stretcher at home, okay more concrete it is.

I gotta have a basic understanding of stuff, but obviously don’t need to know those finer details haha >.>

What about Linux is easier than a similarly prepped windows device?

Unless it’s changed recently, windows you just need to press a button during load (like bios) to boot into safe mode. And from there you can reload a variety of “snapshots” to recover from most malware issues.

How is Linux easier than that, I don’t use Linux, but windows is incredibly simple already.

Do you not know what loading a recovery snap shot does? It doesn’t matter if it escapes. Whatever was new is removed since it’s restoring your harddrive to a previous state. It’s like a backup harddrive, without being external.

There’s ways for the malware to disable recovery mode, but I would assume the same could happen to Linux as well.

The pathway going the other way.

And the flower beds to hold the dirt and sod while I move stuff around.

I used some Sika foampost replacement and Fast2k as well, I used these instead of trying to mix concrete with my current issues, I figured it was worth the try, it was only 20% more than bags of readymix. I wouldn’t used it for a fence or deck, but I think for garden beds it’s perfectly fine.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.

If you’re gonna ignore established standards, and misinterpret what I’m saying because you think you’re correct, you aren’t gonna learn anything from that place of ignorance.

And insult the creators of the genres by making their craft out to be “pew pew lasers and spaceships?”, there’s a reason why the genres were created, if we just want to make things as simple as easy as possible, just call everything fiction, no need to describe it more. I’m sure you can understand how that’s a terrible idea…? Why even have the genres, if you’re just gonna ignore them anyways?

Sure, let’s let everything be meaningless so nothing matters, that’s what you want with the world?

There’s also reasons why there is standards and they don’t just let anyone publish stories in magazines and other established prints. Editors exist so they can separate the chaff from the wheat. If you’re just gonna ignore these standards. It shouldn’t be a shock when you’re rejected.

You provided nothing to show you have any merit to decide what is and isn’t right, the fact that you’re parading around you’re an author means nothing. Especially if you don’t respect the established covenants of writing particular genres.

If you self publish, of course you can just incorrectly refer to your stuff as whatever you want, especially so it just sells.

Cheaper than other building materials, but still pricey, it’s over double what it was when I started 5 years ago.

For reference, one 2”x8” that’s 10’ long costs $20 and gets me 3 boards at 39”. That’ll cover 2’ of pathway.

So 20’ of pathway would need 10 boards at $200(ish), while the stone would need 1.1 cubic yards. The stone can be anywhere from $50-$300 a yard depending on type.

Concrete without doing a base is $350 a cubic yard.

Also, in Canada, so not much different than USA for pricing.

Did you seriously think that was a realistic usecase? They provided an example, don’t focus on the details, they are irrelevant to the overall point about progress.

That’s the combining with the fantasy genre, but everything in the slow and otherwise WAS explained with physics. Not well in the show, but the books yeah.

You’re also ignoring the key basis of the story being the technology and other parts. That’s not gonna help you comprehend it.

Magic, no how wonderfully explained, is not an extension of our universe.

I told you my sources?

You’re given the oversimplified modern version for mass appeal. That’s not how libraries and other places categorize the books.

We do have that genre? Science fantasy, that was covered already… you really aren’t given your ale dmucj merit here.

I mean it’s almost taken my hand off a few times… it’s really windy so I tensioned the spring more than it should be.

Doesn’t need to be anything fancy. My one out front for now I just dug a hole out of the top soil to put 6” of gravel down. Couple boards to disperse the weight and raise it up more.

If a road has one vehicle come by every hour, you expect a raised pedestrian bridge? A lighted crosswalk is totally fine.

Context matters, but exaggerate to make your point i guess.

Why would every intersection need one?

Not every intersection is busy enough to warrant this.

I don’t know how to articulate my point, so I’m a going to insult everyone else.

Okay buddy.

You’re better off using the “9 out of 10 dentists agree” analogy I think.

What are the differences than?

These are the differences according to multiple veterans (literary the OG inventors of them…) of Sci fi and Fantasy writing. As well as definitions available on every library as well as Wikipedia and other available sources. We are just supposed to take your word over the proven professionals?

What are your qualifications other than self pronounced author? Usually when someone just interjects that they are lawyer, or a doctor, or other professional, without providing a detailed response, is just making stuff up.

Because the difference surely isn’t “it has spaceships”, that’s a gross oversimplification.
