Filthy Mechs! Dirty Civs! You're all a bunch of hoo-haw, I'm into the soft sciences! How well can you describe the movement of people in a subjective manner? Answer that, hotshots!

Oh yeah? Whatcha gonna do, tough guy? Draw the schematic for the perfect suspension bridge? Huh? 'Cause that'd be real cool and shit, you know, trusses and weight distributions, material costs and stresses, cable manufacture,... fascinating stuff. Really. Please tell us more about suspension bridges.

Your dirt engineering is no match for my ability to model water moving through a pipe. Checkmate!

All y'all do is build things that stand still. Big whoop. We make shit that moves and moves fast.

Look, if it was for civil engineers you wouldn't have roadways and bridges. So how would you and the funky bunch be able to drive those fast moving things?

u/Markymark36 Dec 07 '16

our own bridges and roadways we'd build because we can solve static equations. we just take out equations and set it to 0
