Structure analysis

A pain in ass as you just follow the fucken shear flow and forces in fucken seal or aluminum stuff.
And also you calculate the deformation in beams and bars in machines and walls. why the fuck you not just make the things from very strong material and fuck the cost?!
Also in it you calculate the work, energy and stress in that stuff.
summary: just a fucken engineering science that you fucked up in its exams in a fucken a lot of steps to just get damn number.

Structure analysis is so damn Hard.

Structure over Substance

A rhetorical strategy where the form of an argument is prioritized over its actual content—critiquing structure, style, or presentation while ignoring the substantive claims being made. Often appears in academic or intellectual debates: "Your argument lacks rigor," "This isn't properly formatted," "You haven't engaged with the literature." The critique may be valid, but it becomes fallacious when it substitutes for engaging the actual ideas. Structure matters, but substance matters more.

"They spent an hour critiquing my sources and formatting and never addressed my central thesis. That's Structure over Substance—judging the package while ignoring what's inside. Form matters, but when form becomes the only focus, substance gets buried alive."

fine structure day

Like Pi day, but using the fine structure constant 1/137 = 0.00729. So, the day is July 29th.

You: "Happy fine structure day"
Random Guy: "What the hell is that?!"

Of any of the bands emerging out of Ventura, Ca. punk scene in the late 80's, Narthex Structure is arguably one of the best remembered, and for good reason. If you get a chance, check them out.

I heard Narthex Structure is back together and playing the Theater this Friday night.

Social Structure

Social structure, in sociology, the distinctive, stable arrangement of institutions whereby human beings in a society interact and live together. Social structure is often treated together with the concept of social change, which deals with the forces that change the social structure and the organization of society.

Social structures consist of social relationships, as well as any social institutions within a society.

pig power structure

A blanket term for the U.S. power elite establishment coined in the 1960's by Black Panther Party leader, Bobby Seale. In Seale's own words, the pig power structure is composed of "the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuates all this exploitation and racism."

The only way that the world is ever going to be free is when the youth of this country moves with every principle of human respect and with every soft spot we have in our hearts for human life, in a fashion that lets the pig power structure know that when people are racistly and fascistically attacked, the youth will put a foot in their butts and make their blood chill.
- Bobby Seale, "Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party" (1970)
