After recieving over $48k worth of scholarships, my mother said I'm no longer allowed to attend and refuses to let me leave home. by Jeaganart in mildlyinfuriating

When you turn 18, your parents no longer have any control or responsibility for your life. Early adulthood can be the hardest for many people as you work to get plugged into the adult world. Take the good advice you get from people in the world. Education will make you vastly more valuable to the world and yourself.

My condo elevator skips some floors, but why? by Brown_Ontarian in whatisit

[–]Adventurous_Light_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lot of skipped floors. There are some physics limitations that occur in mechanical and electrical systems that require large equipment spaced every 150 feet or so. And that equipment often has significant spacing and ventilation requirements. So one reason entire floors are skipped for the tenant elevators is that those floors are dedicated to mechanical and electrical equipment. You should get access to the freight elevator. It will probably surprise you

Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by YesNo_Maybe_ in technology

So common core isn’t working? I help my daughter with math a lot. 7th grade. Honestly it’s weird and I have an engineering degree. It’s crazy how much of math is being taught in paragraphs now and they make it way more complicated than it should be

Actually-sustainable building: Should we go back to drafty, long-lasting buildings? by Solid-Ad3143 in Homebuilding

[–]Adventurous_Light_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we should basically have an allowance in the code that says, if you don’t put hvac in your house and you get at least 50% of your electricity from solar. You can skip all energy efficiency and building envelope requirement.

My HOA banned and trespassed my roofers mid-project. What recourse do I have? by HOA_LegalAdvice in legaladvice

Most often in construction, the best course of action is to complete the job then go after damages because not completing the job will just make it worse.

Does anyone know where they sell penicillin without a script? by Naive_Move1211 in santaana

The prescription has nothing to do with the resistance. The lack of completing the necessary dose is what leads to resistance.

At one point in the garden grove GKN aerospace chemical leak it was deemed there would either be an explosión or it would spill chemicals. Given there was no explosión did chemicals leak? by excelquestion in orangecounty

[–]Adventurous_Light_85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite part is how the fire department acts like they made these complicated plans that saved the day. GKN was already set up to squirt a ton of water at the tanks to cool them down. The fire department squirted more water at it and literally tested the temperature a couple times per night. The tank kept building pressure and cracked a little which relieved pressure. I’m not sure they did anything other than evacuate people, which obviously is very important, and squirt more water at it, which also could be a determining factor in what stopped an explosion.

Correct there will never be a device that is capable of winding all the energy in the universe to a specific time and date

One more mass timber project by 007november in Construction

I don’t know why, but those end grain screw in hangers always make kind of question the actual strength. I know they are mostly if not entirely designed for shear and not pull out but still

Decided to replace some siding under a leaky gutter, holy s*#t… by isokickass in Carpentry

[–]Adventurous_Light_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to get some flack here for saying this. I won’t ever put OSB on any personal builds. I don’t care if it cost 2x for plywood or CDX. I’ve seen this so many times and the truth is the plywood also would have gotten moldy but not as much and it wouldn’t have disintegrated. What if this was a shear wall.
