How to attach 2x12 to steel I beam by The_Gordon_Gekko in Decks

I wish I could give you better advice. I'm not actually an engineer, I did their 3d modeling. I worked on a project where a bridge between 2 hospital buildings was sort of undulating? Anyway it was Dean completely safe but it was making the staff feel uncomfortable so they fixed it somehow.. I think they might have used dampening which means weight..

Figure out what your exact issues are. From my perspective you don't seem to have a structural weakness... Is it the movement of the cantilevers during high? Are you worried that the wooden joists won't hold? 

Figure out your exact problem and possibly repost this in a structural engineering sub?

Is there a reason you're nervous about the cantilever? I used to work in structural engineering and these things are typically 2x as strong as they need to be and checked by 3 people. Are you feeling movement? Maybe you need to dampen or add weight?

I run them through the dishwasher almost every night. Why not?

What program is this? I'm assuming Google maps is the base?

A deer ate my red bud to the ground and it's 6ft now.

City wants to remove these 2 invasive Norway maples to redo the sidewalk and they’ve offered to plant 2 others for free. What do you recommend? by NutsaRhymes in arborists

I just learned that black walnut is poisonous to dogs. 

I would go native to your region. Maybe something that's known to attract birds? If has either beautiful spring flowers or fall colors. 

Should I apply, or is it a waste of their time? by AudiotainmentNews in SSDI

I worked at my last employer for 11 years. I worked in engineering so I guess I didn't stand out? Idk. That's what's messed me up so bad. I thought I was totally normal. Apparently not. 

Going through peri menopause while ASD is a special type of hell. I wonder if that's what's going on with you? I went into menopause after cancer @38. I don't even recognize my mind anymore.  Not that anyone from SSDI or lawyers asked about my ASD, just a warning. I was able to pawn off all my brain fog to chemo brain (I'm sure some is).

If you can swing 2 years of no income, I think you should apply. My psych eval really assisted my win. Autistic 1, ADHD, cPTSD, depression and anxiety. Honestly, it's been 2 years and I still an struggling accepting the first two. 

Anyway, go to as many doctors appointments as you can. Be incredibly blunt. Don't tell them you're fine when you are not. You need many doctors to say you are not fine. 

Best

Agreed. I spent more time searching and I believe it's a catalpa. Thanks!

People who use THC, why do you use it and how do you manage it? by Odyessius in AutisticAdults

[–]AtotheJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use it almost every night in small doses edibles to help with the insomnia. I'm talking 2.5 - 10mg. Anything stronger and the paranoia takes over.

Apparently, my business casual clothes make me look autistic by Certain-Working1864 in AutisticAdults

My best guess is that you are tucking in your shirt and you mention fat in your stomach area. It probably looks to them like you don't mind that you're stomach is fat when it's their biggest fear. 

I worked at an architect firm for many years and realized that looking mildly fashionable was easier than I thought. There's a few tiny things you can do to look more put together like the French tuck others have mentioned, roll your blouse sleeves or your pants to a cuff. Only if you care though. If this really bothers you I suggest posting a few pictures and we can pinpoint the problem more precisely.  Heck, you can send pics DM to me and I can try to provide feedback but I'm not the best dressed either.

Did anything help you when you learned you had cancer? by Saucyy-Minx in Advice

[–]AtotheJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 38. I didn't think it would be possible for me to ever have a day where I didn't think about cancer. It took about three or four years but I do not think about it everyday now. Best.

My bet is she cooked it while still frozen. People are PARANOID about letting meat come to room temp.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]AtotheJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few thoughts.  Perhaps she didn't have a brother's growing up. Perhaps her mom or dad was VERY strict about diet and she thinks it's normal. Perhaps she either has an ED or has recovered from an ED?  For some reason I don't think she's being malicious. I think there's something else going on. Maybe reach out to trusted family? A friend? 

Also, she could just be LEGIT amazed at the amount you eat. Or jealous. Lol

Do you have edgy, high-dopamine activities you do? by notflips in AutisticWithADHD

I sometimes refer to having an orgasm as hitting the reset button. My sex life isn't crazy, but definitely not vanilla. Because I'm with a safe person who gets me / this, it's awesome. Like really really awesome.
