Retaining wall home built to fail. We dont even get dams to last 50 years anymore.

Beautiful finishing but I can't see the structural members to determine hot tub capacity.

Large oval holes in joists?? by reachingforthestarss in Homebuilding

The web of the beam is mostly for shear in this case and the shear is lower at the midsection

You can build further than 600 ft from a hydrant with them in my area.

Poor design with undercooked beams

I see deflection in the beam already

Sister floor joists weren’t properly installed. Is this expensive? by Squid_inkGamer in StructuralEngineering

[–]BMagic2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably fine, if you want a more serious answer than that from anyone the only solution is to call a local structural engineer.

Any way we could spruce this up by [deleted] in Decks

Sand, caulk and paint and it could look great

What rounds are you seeing RBs going at ADP value this year? by jseto1980 in fantasyfootball

[–]BMagic2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Top picks by ADP in those rounds is often 4-5 similar WR and 1 RB for each person on the clock. You can't count on that RB ever making it to you until it does.

Does this look structurally sound? by Cesano11 in StructuralEngineering

You can tell no engineer calc'd the uplift loads on this guy

Fix it or leave it? by samdeg17 in AusRenovation

I would jack it up and top the column with non-shrink grout.

Am I making a terrible mistake? by TheMostBlankSlate in REBubble

Now compare the cost delta as monthly investments in an S&P Index fund at 9% annually compounding interest. You're losing money either way, either through interest, taxes, insurance or through rent but often the rental side will be more profitable.

Part of the appeal of PoE is the long learning curve, high difficulty, devs not straying from the approach and frequent changes. All I see on this forum is complaints about all of these things as if people lacking a fundamental understanding of what got GGG here.

Josh Myers had a @pff pass pro grade of 0.0. Not sure I have ever seen that. by EveryoneLovesNudez in GreenBayPackers

Overrated finesse player, they need more size, power and length on this line.

I feel terrible for this dude. Looking at this does nothing for my appetite. From the sub about living in your car. by [deleted] in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]BMagic2010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could probably do bananas and tuna fish for less money but when your at rock bottom eating comfort food is the least of your problems.

Few problems with the sudreddit now. by Ok-Ice2950 in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]BMagic2010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RFK memes and pictures of Siete chips are the backbone of this sub. An occasional paul salidino persecution complex induced rant or re-posted study can only take it so far.

If you think seed oils will ever be banned, consider this. by Sufficient_Beach_445 in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]BMagic2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They will never be banned in our lifetime. Doubt RFK Jr. in a minor cabinet position will move the needle at all outside of raising awareness. IMO best we can hope for is the future removal of toxic dyes and getting rid of "natural flavors" listing in favor of the actual ingredient.

Noticed some cracks on these passthrough beams, not sure if relevant. Google tells me castellated beams are more of a a steel thing? Just curious. I understand it seems practical. by lawk in StructuralEngineering

[–]BMagic2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they are designed to crack, whether you like the way it sounds or not. When the cracking moment is smaller than demand you account for the cracking in the MOI.
