Unless you invent force fields, no bridge was surviving thatYou donβt need force fields, Background Human mentioned there are other engineering solutions available (such as dolphins and fenders, and probably others) to prevent a ship hitting a bridge from taking the whole thing down by dampening the impact.
Not exactly. To quote a BSky post that ran the numbers on the ship and speed to calculate the energy of its impact vs anything:
I did some math and at 9mph and 175k tons the amount of energy to stop the ship in 100 feet (rough estimate) is about 3.06 x 10^10 Joules, or the explosive equivalent of almost 10 GBU-28B 5000lb bunker buster bombs. Back of the envelope, but that gives you an idea of the order of magnitude.
The other rough calculation on the energy transfers involved in the collision is βa bocchi ball travelling at four times the speed of lightβ. Or:
10B lb*ft/s is roughly the same as getting hit by a fully loaded tractor trailer traveling at four times the escape velocity needed to reach orbit
The back of the envelope math and discussion around it in the comments also points out that dolphins arenβt there for direct collisions. Theyβre there if the ship would have just grazed the area, allowing for the force of the ship to be reflected away from the bridge structure. But an impact nearly dead on would have very most likely vaporized the concrete.
What will probably happen is the sort of thing that should have been common practice and that would be using tugboats to guide larger ships out even further into the estuary

I feel like my hobby these days is based on whether I get replied to or not. I need to stop this.
I need some new hobbies.

Starless
Prog rock pony
@belmontzar
Well in my fanon, the magic Starless uses isnβt the same kind of magic that unicorns use, but a kind of dark, forbidden magic that he and some of his friends on the other side learned. His magic is stronger than the average unicorn but weaker than Starlight and all of the alicorns.

I could have just made Starless a unicorn and let him use normal magic, but thatβs not the kind of pony he is. Heβs the kind of pony whose born weak but will find some way to use magic, will take any opportunity he gets to do whatever, and has no problem resorting to cheating to win. Heβs not the kind of person I want to be, but rather the worst of me. I might write a real fanfiction at some point if I ever feel like it, one to replace the old one I wrote months ago with no actual effort put into it. I havenβt completely decided what to do with my OC.
And a new page.

Encanto is completely forgotten as the most recent Disney win after all the blunders they have made. People are so focused on hating Disney itβs like they didnβt even make Encanto. Iβm always like βBut Encanto is right there. Itβs not that bad.β

Iβve heard parts of it but never had time to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Maybe if it was only an hour or two long instead of six hours I would have heard it all at once. Iβm not concerned about that album breaking me, although from what Iβve heard, it makes Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Van Der Graaf Generatorβs darkest music all look like the most fun and happy music ever recorded in comparison.

In the case of these two, they simply didnβt order any more episodes/specials after they were released.

TYT was ordered several new episodes and 4 specials and it wasnβt even halfway done, no company would just cancel at the last minute.

Is it possible Hasbro canceled TYT?

a hot take: G5 Lore is a little more consistent than G4, but itβs very basic and like g4 itβs not as explored.

for example we have 3 pony cities, but we are 90% of the time in the least interesting city of all, an ordinary coastal city.
while we have a living metropolis that has a whole hidden history of political manipulation and another city that seemed to be a normal forest but in fact has strange mystical connections.

Not much one can do when the head of the project believes on sexual harassing everyone, including children in her off time.

Agreed. I felt like after they introduced the Map, we would of seen more places Outside of Equestria, which while we do in Yakyakenstan, would a trip to Zecoraβs homeland, that she spoke very proudly of, be a lil too much to ask?
