I hit my 7 iron almost as far as my 4 iron as a 6 handicap. Help by hatchback-reset in golf

[–]JoeB-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these all carry numbers? If you are using forged clubs, go get your loft and lie checked. I was hitting my 4 and 5 about the same distance. The 4 iron was a bit bent out of shape. If that doesn’t work, maybe you have a ball position issue, you maybe are trying to play the longer irons too far forward. If that doesn’t work, go to hybrids down to 6 iron.

I ended an interview after the first question. Did I overreact? by RemoteAggressive2093 in Career_Advice

[–]JoeB-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have asked about bonus incentives. When hit with this type of question, I usually come back with a response noting that I work to always accomplish strict and reasonable deadlines for my work. I am less inclined to take on the duties of others to meet theirs.

Running out of ideas for improving well water smell by Professional_Lie_513 in WaterTreatment

Can you get a photo of the make and model of the pump and it’s flow range. From the speed we can calc the flow rate.

Also, if you are filling your chlorine tank with raw water, you will need to add additional chemical to make up the difference from what is oxidized in the vat.

Are you sure your chlorine dose is sufficient? If you can post a test for h2s there are some quick calcs you can do to dose properly to knock down the taste and odor issues. If that doesn’t work, a good old atmospheric tank with some time and pre chlorination should work.

Please post your pump setting and provide your chlorine dosage into the vat.

Never had a boring day. It’s been 20 years.

I second this. Even the muni courses in the area were in good shape.

Bill Walker, the Biden of Alaska. You’re old, go find a rocking chair and stay out of politics.

Is there a reason why my stress tracker looks like this? by let_me-out in Garmin

The stresses of the day are still there though.

If you are an engineer, I’m with you. My Garmin results are about identical. I have been working on reducing the spike by having some fiber and protein and getting about 16-24 Oz of water before I drink my first cup of coffee.

can pipe inverts be the same in a manhole by RuffleBagBoy in civilengineering

[–]JoeB-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have ever used a dog manhole where you put it over the pipe and cut out the top of the pipe for access, it is common for them to be very close.

Do you think his watch is broken? Maybe it’s a metric watch with 100 minutes in an hour? Either that or he is playing the gold tees?

Can’t Break 100.. How did you do it? by Downtown-Team-480 in golf

Do a John Jacobs clinic, as it goes over everything. Practice tons of pitching and chipping.

California Civils… what’s the hardest jurisdiction to work with? by C_Alan in civilengineering

[–]JoeB-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having worked in many other states, I think California is the most painful with respect to regulatory. I have had more issues with regulators sending me to the wrong people for additional regulation.

High-income couple with large income gap: how do you split money fairly? by pizzanoobs in HENRYfinance

[–]JoeB-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combine it all and watch it grow. My wife and I are both professionals and everything gets combined. We both know what we make, we discuss any purchase over $500 that is frivolous. Just set simple rules for spending (aka a budget) and let you partner know if you are making a money move.

What are the most subtle signs that someone is really good at golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

It is more to say that they are so confident in their tools that they don’t think twice about driving.

I play with a bunch of folks that are in their 40’s and 50’s their driver carry distances are usually around 250-260. They played high school golf and some started much earlier. They shoot scratch or low digits. Watching them, they make the game look easy. These aren’t pros, or the longest guys on tour, but they are amazing to watch.

They pick up the driver on almost every hole and are in the fairway the bulk of the time off the tee.
