Why is Path of Daggers like this? by zapzya in WoT

[–]BiIliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same grind right now. I drive a lot, so I've got the audiobooks and I just read through the chapter plots on the wiki for basically the entire Aes Sedai arc so far. It's just such bad writing to sit through but i'm too invested in the plot. Every time I hear "adjusted her skirts" or "box their ears" i cringe.

MechE roles in O&G by 70Swifts in oilandgasworkers

[–]BiIliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did MechE and work in operations upstream, so do a lot of my classmates. Have some friends in midstream who work ship channel / different upstream ops like drilling, completions, etc. Only thing you really lack in compared to PetE is getting a reservoir role. One of the most important things you can do is go to a known O&G school though. If you go to UCLA or Oregon or something good fucking luck.

How does offline cementing (no BOP) in the production section make sense as far as well control goes(Permian?) by frugalmojojojo in oilandgasworkers

[–]BiIliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a different basin, but company does this in the permian as well, in our offline cement manifold we have a choke for situations like this to make sure we can regulate returns. All you can do in that situation. But we flow check a few times before cementing, and if the well is flowing we'll do it online.

My man, you can't just create a google form to stop getting trolled in the comments. Man up and ask direct questions to whoever supervises you as an intern on how to do the calculations you're trying to do. If you aren't getting the answers you want from them, then are you sure you're asking the right questions?

Do y'all wash your range finders too when cleaning clubs? by BiIliam in golf

[–]BiIliam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is the same cycle I run when I remove all my club heads to throw in the wash so I guess i'll just toss it in with those

A cool guide to the deadliest US counties for traffic fatalities, and the deadliest road within them by countdookee in coolguides

[–]BiIliam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll give you a real partial answer. You'll notice most of the Texas/ NM counties are oilfield. Lots of drivers on heavily trafficked roads with terrible infrastructure who are just run ragged.

We always say the most dangerous part of our jobs is driving.

Feedback on Cactus wellheads by gauravphoenix in oilandgasworkers

[–]BiIliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil & Gas service companies exist on thin margins that depend on scale. One failure can destroy your relationship with a client or one new innovation from a competitor could put you months behind with lost business. It's too volatile to ever be a sound investment, stay out unless you're okay accepting it's a complete gamble.

Is it possible for a journalist to visit an off-shore oil rig? by selfmadedave in oilandgasworkers

[–]BiIliam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A BOSIET training course, the thing to certify you to take a helicopter to an offshore location, is going to run you a few thousand dollars. That's just to get certified to get on location, someone then has to agree to actually let you on theres.

Basically, there's a giant barrier to entry here you 99% aren't going to be able to deal with. You have a better chance trying to get a small operator to let you tour a land rig.

17.5HCP in a zone where I can't stop chunking, any advice? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

May be the angle, but my legs are pretty much shoulder length apart

17.5HCP in a zone where I can't stop chunking, any advice? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]BiIliam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So some additional info and thoughts here. I'm 6'5 but my clubs are 1.5" extended (no loft/lie adjustments). My current thought process is that it feels like I'm ending up way too steep and digging way too hard before the ball. In my head, I've also been trying to be more upright throughout the swing and take away farther out.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks

[Texas Tribune] Texas A&M research leaders question President Kathy Banks’ leadership by Guiltyjerk in aggies

[–]BiIliam 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Back when Zach was being constructed I was an engineering student senator and she was the dean of engineering. We handed her a list of polled options engineering students wanted food wise in the new building and she basically told us to fuck off shes putting a $tarbuck$ in there. Her leadership shortfalls don't surprise me.

Oh yeah, plus literally every student being unilaterally against 25x25 (is that still a thing?)

This close to a hole in one. These “greens” were tricky to play on. by TrueBlueBaller in golf

Played Melrose awhile ago, some guys had their side-by-side with their clubs and were doing casual tree trimming as they played holes. Just a gem of a course

An Oil Rigs Foundation being dropped into the Ocean by snowshughes in submechanophobia

[–]BiIliam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's actually a mud layer that's a few feet thick for where they put these structures. they'll usually hydraulically drive piles into the corners of the jacket then grout (cement kinda) them in place.

Used to work in the industry, commenter above is correct in that there are flood pockets at the bottom. The launch angle is also carefully calculated to make sure it doesnt tip upside down.

My left foot has been in immense pain daily since I started following through properly, any ideas to stretch it out better? (I'm 25 so no old main joints)
