The Chinese are irritating, and EyeRollGate is really a thing.

Sorry. There was a weird error message, and I had no faith.

I don't think it's a satire site, but I found that article to be content free garbage.

Here is one engineer's take on what happened, based on his own analysis as well as that of reddit's engineering commmunities:

This may or may not be what happened, I am not a civil engineer. I know on this guy's other videos I absolutely always learn amazing things about mechanical engineering, electronics and electrical engineering, etc.

Here's a story of Portland SJWs being total assholes, and never understanding what they did was not just wrong socially, but wrong because they are factually incorrect.

I hope I am not the only person here to understand the actual evil doer is the one named Snoke.

Hookers!

Glad you read that. A few months ago someone around here, a woman if I remember correctly, was bemoaning the thrashing of respected authors in academe's literature departments. I think I pooh-poohed it, have no strong truck with the established figures in my own generation (let alone the earlier ones). Also, I pooh-pooh too much stuff, as my first wife once explained to me.

Maybe one of these.

Hookers!

And here I thought you actually cared enough to send us some of General Hooker's girls. In modern polite society, they're called "escorts" or "courtesans".

Until they're found dead in your bed, in which case they're hookers.

I hope I am not the only person here to understand the actual evil doer is the one named Snoke.

Kylo Ren just called to say welcome to the party, pal!

Hey, Matt, if you'd be so kind as to take everyone else who swore they'd leave if Trumpkins got elected, that'd be swell.

Even into the early 20th century, before you could hang out a shingle in Fribourg or Berlin or Munich and call yourself a violin maker you would have had to study for four years, then work as a journeyman. Then you would have to go back and study for another two years, to get your masters papers. Until you became a master violin maker, you couldn’t make a violin with your name on it. One could not say, “I’m a violin maker, I’m self-taught.” But Stochek did.

Stochek couldn’t afford to ship wood from suppliers in Europe, so he hit upon the cost-effective strategy of reclaiming perfectly usable tonewood from New York’s wrecked and gutted buildings—conveniently pre-aged lumber. According to his daughters Bernice and Gloria, he told them he knew where to concentrate first: homes near Canal Street; buildings at least 70 or 80 years old. Uptown there was too much steel. But even in the squarely midtown district he had some luck.

This could be a lot of fun.

I know they're told to gun 'em after the cable hooks, but this is still 2½ terrifying seconds.

You know what would be interesting? Mix and match quotes. Pair pictures of Pinker with what has Peterson said and vice versa.

Let's see if those who put Pinker on a pedestal while one the same sentence shit on Peterson can tell the difference.
