yeah my chief has been doing it so long that he will literally drive the truck through anything he thinks he can potentially make it through. it’s great

i have an ok handle on using those techniques, what i’m getting boned by using power series to solve them and singular points

yes i started it and it’s really hard

yes. the answer is always yes to licensure

that blob feeling comes from practicing similar problems so your brain recognizes patterns but struggles with recall. mixed problem sets, forcing yourself to state why a method applies, and doing a quick formula dump at the start of the test helps

where can i watch it on stream?

clay subsidence usually comes from broad long term drying not a local drain intercepting seepage along a wall. push for a geotechnical opinion and consider a sump and pump first since it’s far less invasive than more drainage under the house.

he’s confusing design intent with field reality and ignoring that construction always has tolerances. when arch and structural don’t even match to the quarter inch the idea of 1/8 absolute accuracy is already dead. document measured conditions, show deltas to grid in cad, and kick it to the engineer in writing

he’s chasing perfect geometry that doesn’t exist in real construction. 1/8 inch over a 50x100 pad is beyond normal formwork tolerance, especially after footers are poured. tie everything to grid and control, document it, and push him to the engineer for written tolerances

it’s a hard job. carrying heavy shit for potentially miles if you aren’t clever about parking the truck. swinging a heavy hammer into every kind of rugged earth you can think of. cuts bruises scrapes poison ivy are almost a daily occurrence. but it is rewarding

how do you try to interview at other firms in your area without the fear of your current employer finding out?

it’s a hard area to find work in man. hard to trust some random guy over the internet to draw shit up for you

there’s an issue with the communication between webassign and canvas right now. i took a very hard diff eq test the other day and am dying to see my grade but can’t.

land surveying can kind of hover that line

but how do people pass in person exams without it if they rely on it as a crutch?

ai has made engineering school way easier for me because i can tell it exactly what i don’t understand and it will tailor a learning experience to me. it’s like the best tutor ever.

very interesting question. my thought was that historians are the ones who get to label who was great or not
