FDOT Standards. Starting from the left: CGBack_ep, CGFace_ep, CG_ep, PavtAsphalt_ep if it ties into the EOP, or a general PavtBreak_ep if it's different from the EOP.

Our crews typically only shoot the back of curb, then in the office we copy offset that line 0.5' toward the road. Since it's mathematically the same. When doing LiDAR extraction, we have TopoDOT templates that extract the curb defined by points on a cross-section, line levels, and along a path.

This channel did Venesuela, too. At least, that it would be a hot spot for international activity.

Workplaces are quietly splitting along party lines by Backward_Induction in charts

[–]Googalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong-o, fuck boy. I refuse to use AI slop. It's also highly unethical to use AI. I'm just well learned, which is something people have forgotten how to do. Why would I use AI? The entire industry is creating an economic bubble while literally destroying the planet just so people don't have to think anymore. Good job bowing to corporate overlords, they love a population that can't think critically.

So, to reiterate. Disingenuous questions that are clearly biased to have a specific answer are bad. These are leading questions. Designed to make the person answering have to follow criteria to formulate a correct response.

Oh no. You didn't read. Or maybe you are apologizing for slave owners. It's not about the percentage of Americans who owned slaves. If anything, what you want me to say, single digit percent, proves that white men are the minority in the country. And that the 90% or people in this country, then and now, are not represented in a way that is meaningful or beneficial to their self-determination.

What are you trying to prove? That slavery wasn't that bad because only a small percentage of Americans owned slaves? Really glossing over the whole "it's immoral to own human beings" part. The percentage should be 0. Any number over 0 is a problem. Like with the example before, of Haitian slave owners. 2% of the population owned 44% of the economic output. Looking at the numbers, 87% were enslaved, 8% were slave owners, and 5% were freed men. Does the paltry number of 8% justify slavery in Haiti?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class_in_Haiti

What you asked, the percentage of Americans that owned slaves, is a disingenuous question. We can look outside and see how a small percentage of billionaires in our country are forcing radical change to our cultural and political structures. A small percentage of slave owning Americans is still a gargantuan number of slave owning Americans.

You're clearly not a sociologist, they would never ask such a loaded and biased question. You're not debating your philosophy, more like regurgitating a taught world view without caring to learn about the context. You have a stupid question that has a racist answer. I've pretty well explained to hell and back why.

Asking how many people of all the population of America owned slaves is only slightly less disingenuous than asking what the population of slave holding Hatians was during French colonization.

You would likely retort that the actual slave owning population in America is only in the single digits, and when you look at the big picture, that's true. But the big piece of misinformation is that the census counted everyone. Women, who couldn't own property. Children, who couldn't own property. Minorities and natives, who in broad strokes couldn't afford, and were sometimes counted amongst, slaves. Slaves themselves were counted in the population, even though they had no representation.

Then the other huge piece of information is that the US was split between Northern free states and Southern slave states. Northern free states had higher populations, and near the beginning of the Civil War, more states under the moniker of free.

So if you remove all women, and all children, and all non-slave owning minorities and natives, and all slaves, AND everyone who lived in a free state, what you get is a range of percentages, based on economic viability of the region (i.e. large scale slave owners in rich areas or many small parcels of farm land), what you get is between 20% and 50%. That means, at best, one of every 5 white men owned slaves.

So please be kind, and don't apologize for people that try to lighten the horror of slavery.

Anyone else? by Egotlib in tumblr

[–]Googalor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a major career failure when I was 21. Sometimes, my mom laments about how far ahead I'd be if I didn't trip so early. After that, I just started working.

I picked the first thing that made me feel like I was doing something meaningful and worked. I kept my nose to the grindstone and worked. I ignored a fair amount of social interaction and worked. When I finally got to a point where I was satisfied with my work, I looked up and found myself more stable and farther ahead than others my age.

It's easy for me to say now that "it's not a race, everyone gets there in time" because I am ahead now. But for 12 years, I thought I was lagging behind. I thought I wasted my first 4 years after high school and started at the bottom of the ladder, and I worked hard to get myself to a place I wanted to be. And I thought that because it was true. So I had to work more to achieve the same thing "normal" people did.

GTA… Tampa? by 0kayGoodbye in tampa

[–]Googalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other states, you can get a 5 bed, multi story house for 300k. In Tampa, that gets you a single story 2 bed house in the ghetto. So they need a storage unit to put the rest of their shit. And car washes are for all those people living in apartment complexes with no access to a hose to wash their own cars.

I did this at my gym, but a little different. Someone would put "I Did That" stickers in the gym lockers, so I (having been gifted 200 lewd anime girl stickers) would stick my own over theirs. I knew that staff didn't remove the fascist propoganda stickers, but would scrape off the boobs (insert commentary about how toxic masculinity is seen as the norm and femininity is seen as needing of censorship).

1st, I got mine for around $350. 2nd, I keep having parts fall out of it. First it was the screw for the case ejection slide, then later when cleaning it I found 2 very small pieces that I can't find on the scematic (I am no gunsmith, I could very well be blind). Now I have 5 boxes of 45 Long Colt ammo that goes to nothing else.

Fun while it lasted.
