Yeah but what's the long answer.

I still don't understand how stone bridges stay stable, especially the ones where people/horses go over them. I kinda wish I took more physics/science classes in school so science made more sense and less

 :yeshrug

it's magic

Short answer: weight applied by humans and animals to the surface of the arch forces the arch to expand outward at either end, but since the two ends are pressed against solid surfaces it actually causes the bridge to be more stable overall.

But what about the ones that are right at the top center that are basically vertical? I don't get why they don't just drop down and then the whole thing collapses.

I think the only solution to getting a satisfying understanding to how bridge physics works is to build my own bridge some day.

An arched doorway would be enough, the principles are all the same I believe.

Just because you build a bridge, doesn't mean you understand how they work.
Ask Genova's people about the Morandi Bridge.  ;)

Doors themselves are pretty tricky.  Like when I'm going in, they open one way, and when I'm leaving they open the completely opposite way!

Saw that they opened a Five Guys in Rome, a couple of days back.
Wanted to check it out, but they're asking 14€ for a cheeseburger (no fries/drink included).  :lol

What are they made of unicorn meat?

Enjoyed that Fury vs Wilder fight. Wish Wilder wasn't such a sore loser, since it's one of the best performances he has put on. Clipped Fury good in that fourth round cause Fury got complacent. Actually boxed in the first few rounds instead of just windmilling for that knockout blow.

Good fight, just wish they'd share the ring together at the end.

In the U.S. a meal is about twice as much as a McDonalds combo but they’re known for their huge portions. A single normal order of fries could be split with 2 or 3 people and a burger could be split with another person if cut in half.

As a former fat fuck I cut out 99% of fast food around six years ago but I thought Five Guys was great aside from the cost and being incredibly unhealthy.

The other gimmick is they have stacks of burlap sacks filled with uncracked peanuts that you can eat while you wait for your order.

I'm gonna try it once, if i pass from there one of these days. :thinking
The three popular ones i know of are that, shake shack and in'n'out (which is unlikely to open anywhere in Europe anyway).

We don't have Shake Shack here in Italy, but there's a "good enough copy" (at least i'm told so, from people who had it in London) called "Burgez" that i tried, and that was pretty good i thought.
So i'm curious about Five Guys now, since it was one of the other burger joints i saw mentioned a lot.

I love In n Out. They're everywhere in California but they opened up some locations in Texas a few years back. Simple menu and good, unpretentious burgers at a reasonable price. The downside is their fries are kind of awful(which is weird because they're made with fresh potatoes right in front of you), but their burgers are so good that it's easy to overlook that.

Keep in mind that the reason they're hyped is because of their "no bullshit" approach and because they don't try and price gouge you on everything. (Basically the exact opposite of Shake Shack) So don't expect it to be the best burger you've ever tasted, but more like "what if McDonalds was good?"

In-N-Out is my Mecca.

The fries are better if you order them "well done" or "extra well done." But it is WEIRD how the normal fries are crap, despite being the real deal.

I think I just had a Karen encounter!  This was an older woman, in her late 70s or early 80s, but she had the demeanor and the haircut.

Was taking a nap after work. The doorbell rings and my wife answers it- we've been having some work done on our front and back yard, so we figured it was the landscaper.  Instead, there's somebody making a scene outside.

I went outside and see this woman, who I have never seen before, screaming her head off at the landscaper.  She looks at me and starts grilling me on who I am and if I am the owner and other things that really shouldn't matter.  She's furious because I didn't introduce myself to her and she has no idea who lives in this house and how dare I have all this work done for "three months".  (Note- we've lived here for two months.  The landscapers were there two weeks ago, didn't come last week, then came today.  We have had renovation done, but everything else was indoors and no noise was being made that would have bothered the neighbors.)

I just kind of stood there, half-asleep and half-amused, listening to her ranting and wondering what her problem was.  Just when I did finally begin to get a bit angry, she stopped raving like a lunatic and began to have more normal conversation.  She said I was like a total stranger and she's never seen me before. I told her that I'm outside several times a day and in the evenings and I've never seen her. I only knew that a man lived next door -have seen him twice- and didn't know he was married. I've never seen her before, my wife has never seen her before, and my father who's been over a lot helping with stuff has never seen her either. They also always have their lights off next door and it looks like nobody's home. Now I know differently.

When I told her what was going on work-wise and the landscaper cut in to tell her some things, she finally started to act somewhat normal.   It turns out that some of the things that he improved and fixed were actually things for her side of the property so she was now happy about it. She didn't really apologize for her behavior, but she got much more calm and then said that she just wanted to know who We were. Coming into somebody's yard and screaming and hollering is definitely a great way to find that out. It ended with her telling me that she's really a nice person and she's not a witch.  :doge

Pretty sure the etiquette is that if someone moves in next door to you, you're the one who's supposed to go and introduce yourself not the other way around. The neighbors on the other side of me did this.

We think we may have been "targeted" by the HOA, too. My wife told me that some other lady pulled up in a car earlier today and was also talking to the landscaper while writing things down in a notebook. The current conspiracy theory is that crazy neighbor called the HOA lady who then drove out to take a look at the yard.

I’ve been getting into Gunpla recently. I’m no arts and crafts person, but I find building them while listening or having something on in the back ground relaxing.

No pro here. Not sure I could really do painting or anything beyond panel lining. Which I already find hard. But maybe I’ll try.

My mom had something similar happen recently.

Basically a guy complained to the HOA that she was renting illegally on airbnb and ruining the neighborhood. (she does use airbnb to rent an extra bedroom but follows the rules and everything is above board)

He was ranting about how he's lived there since 2015 and its a close knit community and he'd never seen my mom before and new people were coming in and ruining the community

Shes lived there since 2007.
