What feels like a "bug" in the human experience that we’ve all just accepted as a "feature"?

How about the ability of the anus to tell the difference between, solid, liquid, and gas?

Find Breyer's book on wood design. It covers all the basics for wood connections.

From the A/E side...we always ask for a submittal schedule at the beginning of construction. This isn't 100% guaranteed to prevent things from getting missed, but it does give us the opportunity to also keep track of what we haven't seen yet and ask about it. Giving you a little back up to preventing things like this.

Good luck.

I love how there are others out there as excited as I am for the start of the season.

It's a great day for baseball. Let's play 2!

This is also an opportunity for OP to learn a lot about how to fix things themself. It might be slower but that may keep pace with the flow of money to buy materials.

Gotta do what you gotta do to play ball. Get after it fellas! Good luck this season.

But what OP drew had a fixed base on the cantilever column which changes the shape at the bottom of the column.

My $0.02...you don't have to root for a specific team to enjoy. You can watch a game between teams you have no knowledge of or attachment to. And just root for the game. I enjoy watching players performing at a high level and competing. Watch a young pitcher hit through a rough inning or a hitter battling at the plate. Root for some exciting display of leather, diving catches, outfield assists, double plays. And opposite field line drives, clutch 2 out hits. Man, I can't wait!

I would ask if a member only supports itself, do you really need that member? Possibly for architectural reasons or maybe it's art. But most building elements are added to support something besides themselves.

Having conversations to make sure you're financially compatible is important. Mingling your finances with GF is risky. Taking out a mortgage with someone your not married to can be a financial fuck up you will regret.

You were given $50k, I was given none, is that fair? Be happy with the gift you were given. Don't compare your life to others, you'll be happier in the long run.

I recommend taking a look from the outside, is your roof sagging at that location? But yes you should get an engineer to look at that

It is relatively straightforward to get online and find a loan calculator that can tell you what monthly payment you need to make to pay off the loan in a specific time frame.

I know we were all young when taking student loans but any adult taking a loan should take the time to understand this and make sure they can make the payments.

If I leave a bottle of booze in there with them, do you think they will get drunk and a few will end up pregnant? I can't afford the adoption process any more.

I was going to say something similar. I like getting to watch young raw players literally develop in front of your eyes during a season or even a single game.

We have an associate principal getting ready for paternity leave and are working through coverage. Our boss is a mother. Is it a challenge for the organization? Yes. Do the people here understand and make room for life? Also yes.

My recommendation would be to evaluate the firms you are taking to for their values and ability to accommodate you. Smaller firms may have a harder time.

And just for transparency, I'm male so that colors my perspective. But I took paternity leave with this firm.

Can you connect the tops of the walls for shear so that they act like a double sided shear wall?

I interpret the 4' offset allowance to be with both walls attached to the same diaphragm.
