It blew my kond ehen i foind oit that engineers won't even factor in cars when designing major bridges because they are essentially a rounding error compared to semi-trucks.
The typos started at the precise moment your mind was blown.
Please don't change them.
Don't bother them, they are busy having a stroke.
Haha, not quite. Was having a drink and smoking a cigar after work. I know i should proofread more since my autocorrect has been absolutely dog shit for the past 6 years, but i just can't commit to it.
If anyone has a half-decent Android keyboard recommendedation, I'm absolutely down to switch.
Microsoft SwiftKey is not bad if you don't mind the data gathering. I swiped this whole reply and only had to correct one word.
I love swipe, but it types ~~competent won't~~ completely wrong words all the time for me wtf am I doing wrong
I don't know. Maybe I've trained it throughout the years or maybe I don't even notice when I correct shit, but it works well enough for me that I don't really notice its imperfections anymore. Either way I've not found a better swipe keyboard so MS can have all my typed data in exchange for this convenience.
Hmm, I believe you! Maybe I should reset it and start over then. Swipe works so terribly for me I end up typing letter by letter most of the time. It gets really tiring on the fingers when your phone is a tool for work
Kinda true. Regular cars have an Equivalent Single-Axle Load (ESAL) of 0.0004. Basically, it takes about 9,600 cars to put as much wear on the pavement as one 5-axle Semi.
Similar story for bikes and foot traffic, vs cars IIRC. You can have a staggering number of bikes and foot traffic with very light wear.
That’s the secret of Roman roads
