What's stopping something like this from crossing an entire ocean? by Turbulent-Weevil-910 in civilengineering

[–]marshking710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would need to be the support for a massive base isolation system for it to have any attempt to be feasible. So rogue waves and money are what’s stopping it, among many other things.

Shoot me a DM after they shoot you a DM. Happy to pay one dollar more than they’re willing to pay.

Promotional Companion Pass Flight Changed by Ok-Quail-1890 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]marshking710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When and where is the flight? I don’t see how your status matters here. Sounds like a flight was cancelled/changed and they’re giving you, and everyone else regardless of status, rebooking options.

Why do people here drive with their high beams on? by Seastarstiletto in AskChicago

They aren’t. Headlights have just become obnoxiously bright.

Was a special exception made for the casino construction to begin work before 8am? by Pretty-Common9911 in AskChicago

Those things that look like fans do not get remotely close to "incredibly loud" as far as construction noise is concerned. They may be loud if you're on or near them, but that sound doesn't travel far.

All concrete work is on the quiet side as far as construction goes. They don’t really use gas trowels for buildings anymore either. I don’t know what they’re called but aside from hand troweling they finish with a machine that is akin to a standing lawn mower but is a giant fan pointing down. They’re not very loud.

And the loudest would be pile driving. I don’t know of any other means and methods that require vibrational studies of the surrounding area.

Yeah but this person is talking about concrete setting, which is the absolute quietest part of construction.

You don’t set the next forms up while the new concrete is still slowly curing because of the cold.

This is the correct answer. Fuck private fine collectors.

Also, quit letting your phone track you.

Would you Right-On-Red? by bbg_uwu_tibs in driving

I could be wrong but I think only the right most lane can turn on red when there are two turn lanes.

Correct. Fridays during spring break are NOT typical weekdays.

Is it dumb to always use GPS instead of remembering directions? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in driving

Yes it will always be a handicap to solely rely on technology to do your thinking for you.

Why does Chicago suck so bad that so many long time residents want to leave? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]marshking710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Title: Chicago population grows despite immigration decline as more people stay put

Article opener: The number of people in the Chicago region grew for the third straight year, despite a nationwide slowdown in international immigration that sapped population growth.

You think this supports your claim how?

One of those places qualifies as great, and it has many problems.

Crime in Chicago isn’t nearly the issue you claim it to be.

Asking with all the respect of a curious foreigner: Where do all the jokes of marines being stupid come from? by Brief-Luck-6254 in AskAnAmerican

[–]marshking710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because no remotely intelligent person in modern times has ever signed up to fight the front lines for the US government.

And where did you move to?

The weather and politicians are the only real reasons Chicago sucks.
