I do mechanical so not an expert on geotechnical or civil but the video covers the basics related to the tower seems pretty clear cut.
I know that when undertaking a large engineering project each specific system or component is given to the relevant speciality to handle of which you clearly are not part of. I also know that almost all systems have legally mandated factors of safety to account for unpredictable things like idk unexpected Sinkage.
bro you are a fucking mechanical engineer, not a structural engineer, pipe the fuck down.
So what engineering do u do?
that kind that tells me that i should listen to people who actually know what the fuck they're doing, because they probably know a lot more than i do.
I linked such an expert
that video is two years old, casey jones has actively been covering the recent efforts, im not even sure that the perimeter piling project had been started back then. Or if it was, i'm sure it wasn't in the state it is now. So we had a different idea of it back then.
Are you just going to ignore the fact that i also linked someone who literally worked in this exact field, dealing with these kinds of problems specifically?
Sounds like you read a Wikipedia article. Sinkage sounds like you made it up. How does that make you an expert on the millennium tower?
cos I know what I'm talking about so do the people writing wikipedia.
Never said I was an expert I provided a link to an experts opinion that references the other experts reports. Sinkage typically refers to the downward movement or settling of a structure or foundation into the underlying soil or ground. I don't need to be an expert on the subject to reference an expert, but if we look at it relativistically compared to you I am an expery.
and relative to me, you are a dumbass who happens to be a mechanical engineer.
Just because i'm a linux user, and understand how the OS functions, doesn't make me an OS level SWE. That would make me one of the greats, i am not. I am some fuck who uses linux.
Likewise, relatively to you, assuming you don't use linux, i'm the linux expert here. Even though i have no qualification for such title.
Actually I been daily driving Linux for years now. Me talking about engineering to you is like u arguing with a windows users who has never used Linux who thinks they are an expert on it.
how many years have you been using linux? I've been going for about 5 years now myself.
Your statement is true. About mechanical engineering. And potentially linux, depending on your level of experience.
But the equivalent here is like me claiming that because i use linux, i know how macos works more than a macos user.
You're falling for their sealioning and moving goalposts. Take a sec to think about what you're arguing and where this conversation started at the top of the thread. There's no winning, please save your energy and don't give this troll any more attention. You don't deserve to have your effort squandered on a closed mind.
yeah, fucking with people who are dumb is fun though.
true that lol
it is one of THE pastimes on the internet, what would we be if we never did it?
