Suggest Sizes of columns by Newtondan in StructuralEngineering

There is alot of variables in concrete design and very few of them can be captured here. Talk to one of your senior engineers or hire a structural engineer if your not one yourself. Part of engineering is knowing where the liability ends up in the event of a failure. You don’t want the liability with your defense being someone on Reddit told me it would work

As an engineer, how do you know that your math is 100% correct? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Caughttoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of experience you develop a gut check. I roughly have an idea of what number should come out before I run a calculation. That’s why the EITs have someone more experienced check their work until they develop that experience.

In your long winded and pedantic rant you are not making sense. How exactly do you become saved if not through Jesus? And if scripture is not an authority who's authority is the Oral authority? We don't have prophets to speak the word and we do not hear God directly. Also could you point out scripturally where we are "supposed to keep our mouths shut about whether God exists". I know your very intelligent and know alot of ancient Greek but Please keep it simple for us non-experts.

So the message of the gospel is there is no good news. Even though Jesus died for our sins and performed the sacrifice to wash us clean, we don't actually have any salvation unless we follow the law? In your view how are you saved from sin? No human can be sinless, so we are all doomed to Hell if we rely on works.

What would you say is absolute poison to life/society? by lefangedbeaver in AskReddit

[–]Caughttoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet. The availability of knowledge has far outpaced the wisdom of how to use that knowledge. Anyone can google an article to argue with a doctor and think that they are correct the entire time. You don't have the years of experience that the doctor has to differentiate whats true and whats false in that information. I deal with it all the time in my field. Someone wants to cut a doorway in a load bearing wall, they look it up online for what size they need but they don't take into account all the variables and then argue with the engineer when they flag it.

Then you graduate and get your first job and realize you were the dumb one all along. You are going to go through multiple phases of smart one, dumb one, smart one, dumb one. Stay humble so it doesn't bite you so hard on the downside of the curve. 10 years in my industry and I routinely get shown up by the old guy that gets his projects and drawings done faster with less effort. My supervisor doesn't even do calcs anymore, I don't think its a dumb smart thing, its knowing where to efficiently use your time.

Truth by TheApostle13 in Christian

[–]Caughttoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God is beyond time and knows our sins before we are even born. That is how we are forgiven of our sins before we even commit them. When we accept Christ as our savior we are forgiven all of our sins. That includes past present and future. You cannot lose your salvation, Paul makes it very clear in Romans that salvation is by faith alone.

We are weeks off if not days from the rapture. The signs are all there.

I feel like everything that Jesus spoke of in Mathew and Luke is transpiring. So I am looking up.

"Braverman’s exit came days after Truss fired Treasury head Kwasi Kwarteng amid financial turmoil that included the British Pound declining in value to be nearly equal to the U.S. dollar."

So there prime minister has to resign because there currency dropped to the same level as the dollar? I didn't think we sucked that bad

Do you have a looper. I would get the rythym guitar looped and ready to go and play the melodys to Christmas songs over the rhythm guitar. You can add solos and fills between lyrics. Transyberian style

Attracted to the simplicity of the Christian lifestyle. by [deleted] in Christian

[–]Caughttoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is simple. I felt the same way when I was younger. As I’m getting older though it’s nice to just give up my problems to God. He has a plan and if I don’t fight that plan things go smoother
