1. the length of timber required for two story structures is not efficient; old growth stuff has been felled and straight, seasoned, 24 and 36 foot lengths of wood are tough to find
2. and fire; platform framing has far better fire control
Productivity cargo cult will never die. Enterprise is predicated on this; but let's take the obverse of this cynicism: there are jobs, and people in them. This serves its own purpose.
Ha, this is the bane of design. You don't need any particular expertise, you just have to like or dislike something. Product managers, you know who you are.
Thank you, but there’s hardly any point in arguing with a rock. You might be making great points, but at the end of the day, observers see a man talking to a rock. The rock may roll at some point, through forces beyond yourself
To put this into context and understand where the puck even is, my daughter (18 y old, freshman in college), last sent me an email in 2017. Before that, one in 2016, and one in 2015
Yeah, that is a really bad take. Remind me again why women drop out of engineering teams. To frame this triggering statement, imagine if he had somehow used breasts to make the same analogy. He’d be in a heap of trouble, prob LIFO’d out of his job
Yes, _based on all current observations_ … which have missing areas where `G` fits nicely. Believe me, I get it. Facts, science, then imagination.
Did you read the article, however? What she's mulling over is the idea of different gravitational fields, and reconciling that with quantum theory along with "classic" Newtonian and Einsteinian physics.
Ever since I first encountered G, I always wondered, "is gravity really constant? Is it emergent from 'the universe', or from matter?"
This eventually led to thinking about, "well maybe gravity has more or different properties than G".
As evidenced by the link to a typical comment from me above, these thoughts are always dismissed out of hand. For good reason. But now that a "legit" particle physicist is raising these questions, I hope to see some movement.
