watever man, you're the stupidest person ever, and that other guy, he knows nothing, he's just doing what im doing, but pretending that he has experience. anyways, believe what you want, i don't care no more.

well if i know nothing, it is strange how i study in the civil engineering faculty at one of the top 3 universities in the subject in the uk, Loughborough University.

:angry:

maybe i'm being too hard on you, as you are blantantly only 13/14 years old, or at least have the intelligence level of a person this age.

You sir, are a moron. Perhaps a 3 day ban would sort you out.

Well then, you must be very stupid to let a 13 year old wind you up then. And i don't care about all this university crap, for all i know you could be lying. There's nothing to prove, so drop it.

I'm sorry for the insult. I take it back. 8D

edit: NVM i don't take it back, you insulted me first. 8D

well actually there is something to prove it.

http://studenti.lboro.ac.uk/~cvnaw/eConstruction

as you can see, the URL is at lboro.ac.uk. Loughborough University and then the cvnaw stands for (cv)civil engineering - (naw)neal a wainwright (my name)

proof enough?

bloody kids :angry:

duhk, insult me all day if you want, I really dont give a sh*t. He gave you a compliment when he said you are 13/14 because you are actually 2.

I can understand why you are angry, youve been proved wrong over and over and have to resort to calling people names. Go read something else on the net and believe that!

forster, he is waaaaay more than that!

duhk i think its funny that under your name you have the words 'Love me'

i think you will still be having those words there for years to come as you are such an a$$hole that nobody would ever like you let alone love you.

stop turning this discussion into a goddamn playground squabble, i know you must still be in the 6th grade as you are so stupid, so please, hurry off to bed, you've got a big day at school tomorrow, i hear that you are learning the letter 'Z' this week.

haha, what a loser.

You guys are trying too hard to insult me. You know... you guys are too stupid to realize that every insult you throw at me, you're really insulting yourself, or giving me an insult to insult you with. You know why it's working like that? cuz i was never the one to start the nonsense.

look, I am a first class certified welder, I have taken many classes, and I assure you, everything in that original article is wrong. When you heat iron/steel, it will bend, with all the weight of the other floors above it, it doesn't take much for the weakened steel to soften, shift, bend, then fall. There is nothing unusual about the physics of it at all.

aww... boo hoo. but but but... he has no credibility....

Editaeoiruskl:

you don't seem to be reading the posts... i never said that if you heat iron/steel, and it wouldn't bend. but what i have said was, there was no inferno to heat up the steel to that point.

I'm pretty sure this is what you are thinking, plane crash, boom, break hole in building, make fire, big smoke, burn burn, large fire, feed on office supplies, melt, fall, dusty, OH NO!...

But what you don't realize is, the office supplies weren't all pushed up and stacked against the steel, all the heat wasn't concentrated on the steel, remember... people said the wieght of the building was held by the outer structure walls, but the fire was inside the building, so no heat, could've melted the outer side of the wall. Just remember, it wasn't a forest fire in there, and lots of smoke doesn't always mean a very intense fire.

Here is a little Q&A for ya:

Q. is duhk an idiot?

A. yes!

undeniably correct.

Q. what fuels the plane?

A. jet fuel.

correct (have a sticker)

Q. what happens when jet fuel it lit?

A. it burns.

correct

Q. would the burning fuel be enough for the steel to lose its strength.

A. yes

correct

Q. are you sick of people with no knowledge of the subject parading around as if they know what they are talking about?

A. yes!!!!

oh and the credibility thing LMAO

you are basing your whole argument on a website which has the following written on its front page

"Mostly this Serendipity website is a libertarian, anti-fascist, anti-war, anti-Zionist and anti-prison-planet website, asserting the natural right of people everywhere to pursue their lives, interests and pleasures free from harmful childhood conditioning, from exploitation and domination by covert political and economic forces which seek to enslave them and from repressive authoritarian governments, rapacious capitalist corporations, mendacious religious organizations, fraudulent international bankers and the unholy alliance among all of these which works to deprive the common people of all countries of their freedom, health, happiness and the full realization of their spiritual potential."

LOL, hardly a site habited by structural engineers now is it? :no:

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
