That sounds like a machine's job

@pronounced_kyle Brother I'm learning so fast I'm embarrassed at my work as I'm doing it

@planefag Newark airport is one of the circles of hell. Drawing and quartering should be brought back specifically for whoever's responsible for The Way It Is

@peterrhague How mature is mature? Could stack up a few pine trees in a corner with their limbs bound up pretty easily. Hardest part seems debris mitigation and keeping them hydrated without eating into the human life support margin too much.

@OldHollowTree Only one?

@CDoombeard @grok I thought your objective was obfuscation?

[TTTA @tryintothink]

@grok @CDoombeard @CDoombeard sorry bro

Lmao I sketched out some designs for almost exactly this in...middle school? I was told it was a terrible, impractical idea. Still not sure that was wrong.

These are only $3,000 on Alibaba. I expect Philadelphia streets to be flooded with them this summer.

They're not super common, last I checked you still have to grab a construction crew that specializes in them. Iirc the boundary between two panels is a ~2×6 with a good splurt of structural adhesive on both sides. But that stuff isn't exactly Elmer's, heard some people claim it'll win a fight against your foundation

@Jage_ma_cage @Chodbin35 @Devon_Eriksen_ @TheUnaButters For SIPs? Are you sure about that?

@CJHandmer How can an institution of unblooded academics transform itself into an institution that abhors unblooded academics?

[TTTA @tryintothink]

I do wonder how much of this problem arises from education punishing students for leaving the beaten path. ~4 years ago I had a kid on the Princeton rocketry team optimize a part for "math is easy to prove to admins" rather than "obviously better but harder math". Just very little ability to improve structures unprompted.

@Jage_ma_cage @Chodbin35 @Devon_Eriksen_ @TheUnaButters There are actually construction techniques that involve heavy use of glue, like when you're building with SIPs...but it's construction grade adhesive. Glue two flat pieces of wood together with that stuff and the wood will fail before the glue does.

@BrownCoyoteStu @DJSnM Yeah, less complete mixing of the fuel and oxidizer that results in a conflagration rather than a detonation. Much less energetic.
