No, it's not an insane engineering achievement. It's just a normal one, because nobody else has floating bridges, nobody else needed it. It's also years late and costs 10x more than it should. It's also the wrong stupid

> But if the goal is to collect evidence, you can't give them time to destroy it. Unless it's proven someone is on imminent harm, then they should find another way to collect evidence, or just not do it.

They should stop "raiding" people's homes. They don't raid schools when there's someone actively killing children. They can just hold off a bit and get people when they're on the move.

In this context, a cavity produces one part. A cavity can only produce, lets say, 200k parts. If you produce 400k parts, you only need a single mold, but you've only used 25k wear on each cavity, but you paid more for the mold instead

Nope, that's not correct, except that two cars would be spread across two lanes. PSI is not the only factor. Take, for example, our concrete road panels here in Seattle. The weight on one end forces that side of the panel down, stressi
