minus-square@Skullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink52•16 days agoIt’s because Alaska has migratory patterns, that’s why it’s sometimes southwest of Texas, other times it’s right next to California. How are you going to build a bridge that moves that far, dumbass?
minus-square@WalterLego@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink7•16 days agoA suspended bridge can be really flexible. Or make it out of ropes, like in the Indiana Jones movies.
minus-square@some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•16 days agoAlaska doesn’t like being tethered, it will just buck around and turn the whole Pacific into a churning gyre. The wildness would have to be beaten out of it first. Don’t worry though, that’s being worked on.
