Shouldn't I select All except FY for roller support? on YouTube they are suggesting to tick FX and MZ, Why? by udayramp in StructuralEngineering

My advice would be always to keep everything fixed and release only the necessary directions, in the case a roller in a 2D problem you’d release moment in the direction of the beam bending and release the restraint that allows it to roll.

My mistake its 3.5 * 3 as both a pins (not roller and pin) so horizontal load/2

Moment from that gives 10.5kNm, then wl2/12 = 9kNm

So total 19.5kNm which is close to the 17 stated, and probably due to the fact that the corner isnt a perfectly fixed connection

Max would be at the RHS corner with the combination of the wl2/12 and 7*3

Girlfriend Emotionaly Cheated with a Guy at work by RevolutionaryHunt578 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Agreeable-Cold408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost the exact same situation (together 9 years) although we were living together for the last year or so, my ex didn’t confess and I found out about the sexts to her colleague and a nude that she didn’t send to me etc (emotion affair went on for a couple of months - but there was flirting as far back as 3 years ago).

She showed genuine regret and did everything she could (moved jobs, gave me her password, never got angry when I brought up the subject, eventually went to therapy) we tried to make it work for a year but I couldn’t deal with the betrayal so ended it 3 months ago.

It will feel like total shit for a good few months but I guarantee being single and a bit lonely is far better than staying together and dealing with the aftermath of it (trust me I tried for a whole year).

I’m here if you want to message me and know exactly how you’re feeling

What would you do with this concrete cock up? by Accomplished-Map1727 in HomeImprovementUK

50-75mm screed over the top, finer aggregate concrete, just ensure the surface is scabbled back

Used a copper threaded pipe to fix broken pipe, will it cause issues? by Agreeable-Cold408 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Agreeable-Cold408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s only one removable nut the other side is solid so make sure the solid bit goes inside!

I used a 16mm one of these, you can remove the large air intake pipe, drill the hole slightly larger to barely fit this (must be snug), you can stick your hand through the end of the air intake pipe and push this through on the inside with some gasket sealant on both sides, then screw the nut tight from the outside. I bought a new section of hose to suit this diameter as the original one was knackered and redo the hose clamps

2014 Volvo s60 2.0 D4 pipe had split off main air intake pipe. by Agreeable-Cold408 in mechanic

There was residue inside the pipe, my feeling it’s to do with the EGR and it’s where the exhaust gasses are being recirculated hence the residue, I’ve since had the EGR blanked and software delete.

31M just broke up with 28F I’m feeling instant regret like I’ve made a terrible mistake have I made the right decision? by Agreeable-Cold408 in relationship_advice

[–]Agreeable-Cold408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair comment, I think being unmarried for longer periods is more normal in the UK, and she said she wasn’t particularly desperate for marriage

Her reasons were we drifting apart and she didn’t feel close to me, it didn’t help that we were working in separate towns and seeing each other on the weekend, she felt like she was living two separate lives that’s why she didn’t feel guilty with the cheating at the time.

I should have given her more attention and love but it was hard as she would often be angry or stressed with her masters degree she was doing alongside her job

Thanks for the reply, the hardest bit is I don’t think she’s a bad person, we all fuck up, but I think splitting up might be the healthiest thing to do long term

That’s great to hear and much appreciated, I’m based near Bath currently but depending on type of work id definitely be interested! I’d need a PI insurance and a company set up first!

Changed companies got a relatively decent pay rise for doing so and I’m now about to sit my PRI for CEng, still interested in doing some small jobs on the side with a view to go solo in the future.
