Honestly, yeah. Not just "people" either: Indian people. 134 of them. Wait, 134 of them? How the fuck do you live that close to water your whole life, and 20% of you can't even swim? Okay, maybe we can blame debris from the accident for some of it, but even if we blame half that's still like 70 people who died because they couldn't swim. And the death toll is still rising. WTF?
Shit. I got side tracked. Indian people died. Possibly quite a few brahmin men. The guy who was supposed to figure out quantum computing probably died in this. At the very least, the guy who was supposed to do tech support for the white guy who figures out quantum computing might have died in this. What if the day our white protagonist has his eureka moment, his (normal) computer won't turn on? What then? What if his brilliant, transcendental insight fades from his mind before he's able to capitalize on it, and quantum computing gets set back 20 years because he only has vague, dream-like memories of the revelation and has to fill in all the blanks before it's useful? What if 15 years later aliens attack and our lack of quantum technology is the reason we lose the war?
Indians need to take safety more seriously if they're going to keep making themselves indispensable to humanity's technological advancement. -

2022-11-02 at 1:01 AM UTCUgh this is bothering me. Are there fucking sharks in the river? 500 people fall in a river and 25% die? WHAT? HOW? If you were in the exact middle of the bridge when it collapsed you'd be like 300 feet from shore, which sounds pretty far I guess, but it's not. In reality, it's a bit less than 2 lengths of a swimming pool. If you can swim to one end of a pool and back and remain conscious after hitting the water, this is basically just a surprise bath to wash off a hard day's curry sweat. Fuck. I bet like 100 of the 134 who died knew how to swim, but the 34 who didn't know how fucking murdered them by trying to use them as floatation devices. As drowning niggas are wont to do. This is why you gotta teach your kids how to swim, man, 'cause drowning turns you into a fucking retard who will murder anybody within arms reach to survive another 30 seconds, even if that person was coming to rescue you and could have saved you.
EDIT: I guess 300 feet is kinda deceptive since it's a river and the current pushes you parallel to the shoreline, but swimming downriver at an angle and using that momentum to your advantage would probably make reaching shore less exhausting than 2 laps of a pool.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

ngl at this point if I saw someone drowning I'd just let them drown (then recover them + try to revive). Not worth dying so some dipshit can take 5 extra gasps of breath before dying exactly how they would have if I'd decided to do absolutely nothing. -
2022-11-02 at 1:22 AM UTCHit them in the head repeatedly
Climb on top of them
Drown them
Drag them to shore and attempt revival -
2022-11-02 at 2:33 AM UTCGrowing up I had a few good Indian friends and good Dr's who are Indian and they are like the least aggressive in-your-face people.
what bad experiences have you folks had with them as a people? -

2022-11-02 at 2:39 AM UTCwaters that look calm are only calm on top
there is an "Esturary" between Oakland and my hometown and it has draw bridges and the locals call it "The Mote" and I got dared to jump off from the bridge. it hurt hitting the water. it was maybe 35-40 feet above the waterline. but, this is not fresh water, it's bay water. really salty so it's hard water.
we first would jump off of a pier that was built under the bridge on our side of the bridge. but we decided to Jump from the actual bridge which was maybe 7 feet higher up.
but when I jumped off , it held me down for like 10 seconds and I suddenly popped up and was freaking out because I could feel the undertow pull me under and I got pulled down a few times, and I was so scared to swim back to this pier under the bridge, I snuck through someone's backyard with their dog chasing me and ran back to the bridge going back around to get to my clothes. I was like 11 years old back then. many people have drowned from the currents that pull people down. but my guess is, this bridge crosses over the same kind of waterway. -

They're tubular structures. concrete core anchored center where elevators are put in and fire-escape exit routs are and then an outer mesh where the floors attach to both using cross members, concrete poured over sheathing, joist mounts, L brackets. fire coating, insulation, decorative ceiling tile, carpeting, tiling, etc etc. the Twin towers, WTC 1 and 2 were the first of this kind of design to maximize office space. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki
he simplified that by having a straw, you push down on it and it will collapse. but if you cut that straw and glue it back together at sections it's nearly impossible to push down on. this created multiple multiplications of what is called "redundancy load-bearing".
what caused it to peel out like a banana and not stop?

Hate to break it to you 3DMAX master but copy/pasting crap you read on the interwebs does not = you knowing what the fuck you are talking about in relation to structural engineering (or anything else for that matter).
Stick to Uber eats girlfirend and night classes for 3Dmax -
