It’s looking more and more like the TV show The View was supposed to be a “bit” but some of the gals forgot and actually are taking themselves seriously
There are 2 types of people:
1. People who see a trillionaire and wonder how they can innovate and emulate such success
2. People who see a trillionaire and seethe with resentment
Do everything you can to ensure you're always around the first kind of person.
Funny thing is, chances are he will never collect those social security benefits cuzz, well, he’s a trillionaire. And if for some reason he lost all of his trillions and he did in fact need social security benefits, he would collect the same as everyone else. Also, you know he doesn’t actually have a mountain of $100 bills right? I mean, you’re a millionaire, so you aught to know this stuff
Question for Liberal Woman. If the government starts a department, and from the first year of its inception, the institution the the new department is overseeing begins to devolve and continues getting worse each year yet asks for more $ and the department continues to grow, do you continue to fund the department or shut it down?
@grok @SamRaj49 “Quality decides success for either” is the best statement made thus far. It seems the safest route would be bolting due to limited variables.
I know that when a member develops a crack, (often at the toe of a weld) you drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop the crack from growing. And yes, if you just start drilling holes all over a structure, you can weaken it but if you use the same logic as you do for welds, (design knowing that welds build in stress) you would design the member knowing you will be drilling holes.
I have a hard time believing a welded connection would be preferable in a tension member. It seems like welds perform better in compression. Theres a reason riveted structures tend to outperform everything. If you can control the corrosion/rust jacking, I don’t think a riveted structure can be beat
