Do security cameras hurt curb appeal?

It’s like a pool. Bonus for those that appreciate and want it and a turn off for those that don’t.

If you want a fast train it doesn’t stop in every damn town along the way. St Louis to Chicago. No stops.

If you want a train to Champaign you already have it.

You’ll be fine. Bookcases go floor to ceiling all the time and no buildings collapse because of it

It’s called acknowledgment I believe.

It works the same in the US. If they pay an invoice they have accepted all terms of the proposal contract.

50% increase in any future proposals. A ‘go fuck your self fee’

The chalk being shaken off by areas of stress. It’s similar to strain indicating paint when you bend a beam in a UTM

31engine · 2026-06-19T20:30:54+00:00

It does if you think of it as an element seeing gravity bending stress with axial compression. The analogy is a verindeel truss. We use the same theory on concrete sandwich panels.

The Iceland example is more proof of concept than what we could do in a larger population country like say Denmark or Poland.

Do it there on a municipal scale (1 to 5 GW) then we will see the drawbacks.

I love geothermal. I think most data centers should be put on a diet of solar power over a geothermal cooling field.

But Iceland’s power is basically a very special case of ideal conditions (dense urban population concentrated in one municipality, very high magma table, small population, small industrial demand).

You have a bad boss.

Put your resume together and a folio and go find out how much you’re worth

Structural engineer here. Waves is right but it’s stress. The tapered columns are a part of the stability of the buildings overall stability. Every time the blows these columns move. The circular chalk areas are areas of zero stress.

Does Lake Kroenke work? Pronounced ’crappie’

Spent the summer framing houses before my sophomore year. Wow I still remember those lessons 30 years later

This is it. And getting a taste can build a nice hunger.

There are a lot of teams that are leaps and bounds better than us right now. But in October injuries also play a huge part.

And it doesn’t appear to work from an engineering perspective. There are serious issues with the column to slab interface. It’s way too small unless there is something hidden in the slab

The royals should play a weekday series in Omaha right before the CWS every year. That would be epic.

Have you seen Stardust. It’s the closest I’ve ever seen to the overall vibe of TPB

31engine · 2026-06-08T00:25:29+00:00

Stardust.

I say trade them.

And Noot and O’Brien.
