Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The francis scott key bridge will take four years minimum to rebuild :)

Unless Teslon Musk can build a super bridge that slingshots cars across the bay and they float down with a subscription based parachute that you can get epic skins on like a ape who is not having a good time and alao hes smoking a banano (canon)

O'er the land of the cost overrun 'n the brave

Seriously... Take the time estimate and double it. Take the cost estimate an quadruple it.

We build a giant slingshot to shoot the cars

But we have something to catch them if they don't make it.

And well have to be able to catch them going either way so we'll need two of them, separated by direction of travel.

And we'll make the catchers out of something that the cars can glide along.

Actually we'll make it so the cars can push off the catching device so they don't end up stopping before the end.

And then every car will need a way to propel themselves so we'll install a power unit in each one.

Then we'll add wheels to take advantage of rolling momentum instead of jsut sliding.

I've done it again.
