​@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8 Spamming replies is not the right way to share with people the way to bridge the gap to eternity. Forcing your methods onto others is a serious architect move. You really need to spend some time engineering your responses to be more relevant to the video topic while still staying accurate to the message you're tying to share to ensure you're building on a strong foundation as verses describe Jesus, the foundation and corner stone of the true, unified, Christian church, meaning everyone and anyone who chooses to follow Jesus example and place their hope in HIm, not any specific denomination or individual, as anyone who tries to narrow down more than Jesus did isn't a true representative of a Jesus follower. Jesus didn't establish any tolls for crossing besides acknowledging Him, so anyone to suggest you aren't acknowledging Him 'correctly' besides following His guidance of 'love your neighbour as yourself' and (not exact wording to follow) to be open to knowing a creator of everything to exist, God, of which Jesus was/is of the 'same stuff', just materalised in human form in His first time on earth and God's 'Word' (as it has been presented for human understanding in the Bible, there are many details of the original Hebrew and Greek languages that the Bible was first recorded in along with literary choices made with the audience of the era as the primary focus which are lost in English translations in the 'modern'/current society, which channels like 'The Bible Project' hope to shine light on). In the off-chance anyone reads this besides the 'person' I'm replying to, I'll leave a something more to read if there's any interest (apologies, I can struggle to stop when I start on something I'm passionate about). :) My personal understanding is that an existence above humans, aka God, is probably as far apart from our knowledge and experiences/existence as an inanimate scale model layout's existence is to us in terms on complexity, etc. What would a static model car 'know' of our world around it? So what could we hope to know of any existence beyond our existence? Another element I think is covered in the Bible (in Romans 8, but I can't remember the entire context with the rest of the Bible, so hopefully I'm still accurate) is how sin affected *everything* in the world when it entered, so it's possible its affect over creation is more in line with an additional dimension than a basic human choice like choosing whether or not to eat a biscuit. Humans can't escape time, so if sin is something above time, an experience outside of sin is impossible too, and this would align with how only Jesus, the only interdimensional human if viewing sin as a dimension, conquered sin. Also, humanity's refusal to accept Jesus comes, in no insignificant part, from not understanding that laid out in the Bible or Jesus Himself. Humanity seems to have taken the approach that because we can understand things in a much more complex way than animals, that we must collectively know everything there is to know, but that simply isn't true because we're continuing to make discoveries never previously known, therefore, just because something sits extremely far outside of what is 'known' or most widely accepted, it shouldn't be dismissed just because it can't be fully understood. Science is full of things that aren't actually quantifiable, things that are technically impossible to prove, but yet they get accepted. Also, at one point the reasons behind stuff (I want to call that metascience but can't remember if that's exactly right) being the way it is and the 'provable'/physical science were interlinked, studied beside each other in a way they aren't now. The Bible was, as mentioned above, written to be understood by humanity 2'000 years ago, and what I know as the 'Old testament' for people hundreds to thousands of years before that again. As a result, everything is related to what was understood then, so to a person now not thinking about it, it just looks out of date compared to current scientific understanding, however, imagine if our knowledge of our existence was revealed to them back then. No one would have a clue what the Bible was talking about and it couldn't have played it's part in guiding people back then as a result. The same goes for us. The Bible could have contained even more detailed and complete knowledge of the physical world we live in than the current collective scientific fields have, and we'd be as puzzled reading it as anyone from 2'000 years ago would be seeing the world we live in today, nevermind the scientific developments and discoveries, therefore making it impossible for the average person its general message is aimed at to have any hope of understanding it, because that's the thing about the Bible, it was intended for everyone, to share a message with even the most vulnerable individual in the world, and that's why it was written to be read aloud in a world where poverty mean illiteracy. Even if you don't think you're interested in learning about Jesus, if you enjoy poetry, and the like, there are videos/posdcasts on 'Bible Project' that dive into the patterns used in Hebrew when writing it which you'd probably find interesting, and of course, an all powerful God could speak through that to you, so there's no need for anything to be said by me or anyone else. What's presented in the Bible is that God and Jesus want a deeply personal relationship with every *individual*, so whatever you decide in your heart, which only God can read/know, is up to you and don't let that be tainted by anyone who wants to *force* their experience of Jesus onto you, no matter how well intentioned or otherwise they may be. If you feel an aversion to certain foods helps maintain focus on your relationship with God, then that's your decision, not something for someone else to take away from you, or force onto you if you feel it doesn't contribute anything. I've decided to avoid alcohol for example. Nothing in the Bible to say I need to do that, I'm just a keen driver and don't want alcohol mixing with that in any way.

at 5:00 the reason the other person's bridge worked is because the trusses were stronger and their weight was closer to the hydraulic so the bridge flexed less under gravity.

The person steering a boat can be called the helm, helmsman, or driver, and sometimes the pilot if they’re navigating particularly treacherous territory where they need a local to guide them through. The captain doesn’t always control the wheel manually.

"How do they get so much movement out of their hydraulics?" What kind of engineer doesn't understand leverage? I think Matt is secretly an architect.

Boats can have captains and pilots. Captain is the one with command over the vessel, pilots are people with special knowledge of a dangerous waterway. Pilots usually get on the bigger ships from pilot boats(thats why big ships often have little extra doors not far from the waterline, that's for pilots). If you had to go through a janky polybridge, bridge, you'd most certainly get a pilot or two lol. However, often there's also a separate helmsman that steers the boat.

The discovery of Uncivil Architect was great. I hope we see more of them

Regarding that complete disaster of a bridge in the UK by Calatrava... A broken clock is right at least once a day in this case. He has made an absolute BILF in the Sundail bridge which utilized a cable stayed design to avoid building footers in a sensitive marine environment. The bridge also acts as a massive sundial and has some lovely landscaping around it too. Hasn't made anything that good or trouble free since.

just waiting for the day RCE finally realizes that the cheap hydraulics just use leverage....

As a bit of hydrolic advice always try and expand instead of contract it's cheaper because it uses less hydrolic

I figured out why RCE encourages the RCE propaganda: it's gonna be high budget and the more players spread it the easier it is to get in the best %

for those too lazy to research the mileanium bridge: the bridge's fault was in that the resonant frequency of the entire bridge was a perfect multiple of of humans walking pace (about one step per second). people would walk in phase with the bridge's slight vibrations and because people don't like to walk on wobly surfaces, they ended up walking in such a way that fed into te bridge's vibrations, producing a positive feedback loopwhere the vibrations only got worse

I have a theory on why thy hydrolic on the first level didn't snap back into place. I think it's because he locked the split joint at 1:27 in the phase when the bridge was snaped to the bottom, so it was still closed when it tried to move up again.

26:07 , boats have pilots and captains, the captain usually drives the boat in the ocean sea, and lakes, pilots, however, are locals and go to a ship that is ready to enter a channel like the Egip channel known as The Suez and drive the boat thru the channel, they being locals they can maneuver the ship better in the tight areas of the channel, the most foremost modern shit (the Evergiven from Evergreen) was driven by a local pilot thru the channel then the accident happened, however, the captain was guilty (even thru it had no control over the ship) just because the captain was still in charge of the ship, not the pilot that actually controlled it.

On vessels you always have captains and in difficult and special areas where local knowledge is relevant pilots are brought onboard for the relevent part. Their role is to advise the captain. However the Panama canal does this different. The pilots are responsible for bringing the vessel through not the captains.
