Besides the obvious use of inferior materials, engineering is what it is...subject to real world testing...IE, build it and see what happens...

Safety factor usually means multiplying, not dividing.
IOW
As strong as necessary times 2.
Not strong as necessary divided by 2.

Twice as strong is usually better than half as strong. :rolleyes:

The Chinese are good people but they are spineless

you can march them to the gallows but you can't get them to stand up for themselves

They had a taste of what capitalism has to offer...now watch what happens when it's taken away

in the name of the CCP.....AKA...the Chinese rich elite

Like Indians, I've never met a Chinese who actually wanted to go back.

I have heard, multiple times, "You Americans don't realize what you have here."
I see my countrymen as total **** idiots more and more.

Agreed...which is why I apply my "it'll rust before it rots" motto into every project I do...and why I'm the bane of my wife's existence.... :lol:

Yet according to libertarians, that’s “free market capitalism”

RegoolayshunZ are state enforced violence

Let the idiots here starve....shame them when they get out of line....fill the prisons and build more if needed

violent criminals might need to be put down...so what?....they have no useful purpose....they preach the right to die.....let's utilize that right on the worst among us

Kind of like flexible vs brittle.
Flexibility gives warning signs and things can change. Brittle just lets go and everything is lost.

Being appropriately strong is as important as appropriately weak.
Do you know what a shear pin is for?

appropriate to what? Appropriate to when? Appropriate to where? Appropriate which whole species? Appropriate to whom?

Life is time individuals are adapting in sequence of arrival so far. Those proclaiming life is more than this deceive themselves first and end of time arrives when the one has everyone else lost in the same deception forward from now on.

Evolving as ancestrally here is very flexible, humanity is brittle regardless which God or country people honor over understanding the time each personally gets since conceived adapting in the moment here.

Alright. You're a **** idiot.

I was curious about what a "libertarian" is so a bought a book describing same.
Couldn't read the **** thing. Platitudes and either/or stuff bored me silly.

I still have it (the book) and maybe I just wasn't in the mood or curious enough at the time.
But still, an entire book attempting to define libertarian . . .  It was a bit much. :wave:

ha ha ha ha ha ha. Do you know how to encompass every intellectual reality ignoring the one thing everyone chooses to believe isn't possible, daily? I do.

The faith there is more to life than balance as displaced since conceived is historically measured 24/7 350 -400 generation gaps since dawn of civilization defined academically, illustrated artistically, valued economically, directed spiritually, governed politically, collectively believed by 5 ancestral lineages in 5 generation gaps alive daily here.

I exist as one male human since my time started as a fertilized cell that never existed before that event of conception. After birth my ancestry educated me along with society how I must obey social consensus or else society will take away all my ancestry achieved so far and any children or generations I helped add to the population will suffer because they hold my last name given as who I am according to rule of law typecasting what I have been since birth.

Tyranny is very brittle. Evolving is flexible as a brain navigates between lived, alive, living day to day, one heartbeat at a time.
this doesn't change regardless topic is China or America. Black, brown, yellow, red, white pigment chromosomes.

Yup. If three welds is good, six is better. :rofl:  

Glue or nails?  Of course the right answer is BOTH.
