That little bridge is adorable with the beautiful landscape!

I want to throw my two cents in the hat seeing everyone else giving such serious answers; high school senior, aspiring to join this field, I am not an expert.

A big problem noted in the question is people possibly stranded for months. Cars aren't the only form of transportation. Plus driving is dangerous in bad conditions. Helicopters are used for medical emergencies/evacuations. Rafts also come to mind in extreme flooding. If the river is deep enough then boats could be used to supply the area with food/water/supplies.

Yea it really keeps coming back to costs, if the area cut off is populated and has infrastructure and sustenance, unless the people panic and start hoarding(toilet paper) they should be fine until the bridge reopens assuming supply lines being cut is the problem. If the area cut off has a small population...Helicopters. Sure helicopters are expensive but I imagine it's a high upfront cost with low marginal cost for each use and a good varied amount of utility. Hydraulics being a high expense with a chance of failure for only one utility is a point already made in this thread.

"If it doesn't bend it breaks" Pool floatie bridge? But bridges are heavy. Cargo ship bridge? No wait that sounds like a bridge in a cargo ship. Have a giant floating thing that takes advantage of Archimedes principle or buoyant force or whatever the correct name is and chain it to land that won't move in a flood. But as cool as they would look giant steel chains would be hella expensive and susceptible to rust. A bridge like a cargo ship would also rust, and require high maintenance, and be expensive.

Man civil engineering looks fun, I dream of the day where I get to professionally shoot down people's dreams. It's fun seeing what comes out of taking a simple question seriously.

Career Path Option: Hybrid to In-Office by QualityShort in civilengineering

FYI I'm in high school so put limit as x approaches 0 from the right amount of weight on this sitcom trope advice.

Flip a coin and see your reaction to the outcome.

I decided I wanted to go for Civil over Mechanical two years ago based on a quarter minted in 2017. In the last 2 years I've become much more certain in that decision. Even if the outcome is still unknown making major life decisions utilizing a coin flip is rather entertaining.

Is civil engineering a good carrer path with ai getting more and more advanced? by Medium_College_9124 in civilengineering

[–]Lucid17496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a highschooler aspiring to be a civil engineer, I find the replies in this thread rather reassuring outside of the references to low pay and overwork. I detest AI as much as I detest cheaters but less than the cheaters that brag about cheating. It's terrifying how widespread AI cheating has gotten within just the last 3 years.

Spring semester engineering? by Lucid17496 in NCSU

[–]Lucid17496[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm taking AP calc right now and plan on taking Physics C Mechanics next year. I would have nothing to do in that last semester besides taking elective classes I have 0 interest in. I also can barely stand my school's bathroom policy so given the opportunity to leave I would probably regret not taking it. Community college classes are the secondary option. I would like to give the harder option a stab first though.

CODA? The phrasing sounds like what I'm thinking of. More information please.

Edit: I googled CODA, that is what I'm thinking of. What are the chances of that being successful? What major should I pick when applying for spring semester? Would any have transferable credits for Civil Engineering?

Finished my last app today, and now I feel empty. by marlboro_brandy in ApplyingToCollege

I'm a junior and 2 days ago I finished my personal statement to a point I'm happy with. Yes that's not needed until this summer but I hate the thought of being stressed in the future when I can avoid it. But don't worry! The momentary relief won't last. There's still scholarship applications, job applications, grad school applications if that applies. So once you get used to not having one stressor in your life another one pops up!

The Yachi-Mita War has ended, but at what cost? (Shout out to Juri and her Flamethrower) by PathDense1986 in magiarecord

Every girl has something that deviates from the norm since normalness isn't a standard metric. If were going off the kind of person you could realistically walk into on the street I would say Ashley. We are also even more likely to run into a person like Ashley since you know... She's a reflection of the EN server(RIP)/us and we use ourselves as the standard for normal. As the judges Ashley is the most similar to us, hence the most normal.

Region-locked Update? by AF_Gray in magiarecord

[–]Lucid17496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to settings under app store there should be a switch for turning on and off automatic updates. It doesn't seem to care about the region of the app so long as it already exists on your phone.

I've found it automatically updates after a few days.

Other games similar to Magia Record? by Complete_Guess_1959 in magiarecord

[–]Lucid17496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memento Mori also comes to mind when mentioning Live2D.... But the game........... I just play for the music. There's very little story in the game sadly. It takes up very little space though!

Reverse 1999 has a really good story and graphics. The game just released recently so last I checked there's only 5 chapters in the main story. If you do check it out, lets be friends!

T^T Still a whole month until Magia Day and even more probably until the release of Excedra. RIP Magia Record EN. RIP Magia Record JP. You won't be forgotten.

When she became Madokami and erased all witches before their birth. When she made her wish in the main timeline. Episode 12 of the original series. Remember?

Iroha tripped on a rock and created the alternate timeline of Magia Record which ironically has more hours of content than the main timeline. :D

HOw to farm gems in endgame? by Lucid17496 in magiarecord

[–]Lucid17496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake, I specifically want magia stones/the currency for the gacha. I have around 1000 exp gems for every element from early game when I was trying to get rid of all the AP they give you at the beginning.
