You know what all these other new bridges that were "built so much faster" didn't have to include in their construction time?
Demolition and salvaging efforts
Site surveys
Design, planning, and cost estimation
Modification of an already existing transportation system
But sure, go off and complain that 10 years is too long because it took 4-6 years from start to finish to build [insert bridge name here] because that's how long it took to physically build after ground breaking.
@th3j35t3r but will there be a Xenomorph hiding in your apartment.

Happy 3/28 to all #Patriots and #Saints ( because fuck the Falcons, I guess )fans!
For those who don't know ( and are #Falcons fans dreading today ), this the date referring to the New England Patriots storming back after being down 25 points with a little of 17 minutes left in Super Bowl 51. They would cap the comeback in overtime to win 34-28.
Only other thing I got to say about #Xmen97 is that the three episodes so far have shown that the the producers understand how X-Men has such a need to fully embrace the surreal.
The MCU was always down right tame in comparison to some of the absolute bonkers things that happened in even mundane X-Men storylines.
If this 10 episode run can stick the landing, we have something very special ladies and gents.
This has no spoilers, I promise. #Xmen97
This week's episode is wild. What would normally drag out over several episodes seems to be instead a speedrun of a storyline, but in a very good way.
I do bad for new fans. I'm not sure how much sense any of this makes to someone who doesn't have years of familiarity with X-Men. At least the show is trying to (mostly) stay in bounds with stuff covered in the original animated series.
@rych I am jealous. Would love to see them live.
Hoping that a new album leads to a new essential mix that will help inspire my old gym habits.
Only other thing I gotta say about X-Men 97 is that you have no idea how much this scene made me geek TF out.
Like pause and sit there with my jaw dropped cause they finally did my girl right.
Don't care what else happens in the rest of the series, having *THE* definitive Storm appreciation moment in episode one made my heart so happy.

Anytime you see discourse about how "wrong" Gambit's attire here is, know that it's completely in bad faith.
The show is X-Men 97 as in 1997.
And let me tell you, these half shirts were a dime a dozen with in shape dudes at the time. Every dude on our high school football team during this period wore them on game days to impress the girls.
Some people just need the culture war for clicks.

You ever take the first puff of a new strain and as soon as the taste hits your tongue you go, "Oh man this is gonna &#_ me up."?
That's where I am now, I think it's gonna be a good Sunday afternoon.
Because I can.
Tonight I go to a meeting and receive my 25 years clean, coin. I decided to dress up. Ya know, nice Italian cut suit, bright colored shirt with contrasting tie, and pointy boots. The suit is charcoal grey, the shirt sky blue, the tie forest green, boots black. No vest. But thin dark grey suspenders.
"what da ya mean, I ain't got no class? It's night, I am inside, and I am wearing shades."
Dress cool or go home.
@Kinnison not the biggest gin fan but this sounds pretty darn intriguing
@th3j35t3r this is old Budweiser real man of genius commercial level thinking right here.
You ever hear a snippet of a song and you instantly know, this song isn't meant for humans to hear?
Like it's some horrors similar to what happens when the Nazis opened the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones waiting on you for when you hit play.
But you have to anyways, because the the allure of dying from laughing is too strong?
