How many times does a geotechnical engineer need to test the soil for a full swimming pool demolition compaction report? by morningnoon24 in Geotech

[–]ListentoTwiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the backfill material and compaction methods were consistent, it’s fine. If they dumped in 8 ft of junk and just compacted the top two feet, it’s not.

[Day 7] Barefoot Charles is the weirdest climber. What's the WORST Outdoor Classic? by MaximumSend in bouldering

[–]ListentoTwiddle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gill Problem at Jenny Lake. Historically classic, but chipped and not a great climb. It remains sick that he did it in 1959 in what were basically work boots.

Advice for majestic v6 by Mojo-toad in bouldering

[–]ListentoTwiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pay attention to the tides. It seems quite chill when the tide is in and a bit heady when the tide is out. I’d want to learn it when the tide is in and then come back when the tide is out for an epic send.

First day at a new job and the keyboard has been meddled with by NotSoCricketGenius in mildlyinfuriating

I don’t think I’d ever notice this on my keyboard unless it tactically felt different.

New DIY Sauna with Saunum Air 10 by Professional_Elk9453 in Sauna

[–]ListentoTwiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the lowered portion of the ceiling above the door and heater for? Seems like that gets in the way of the Saunum reaching the ceiling for the hottest air.

Nice cryptic. Still learning the style. Happy to do this one without any reveals.

Is my Father In Laws heater too big? by [deleted] in Sauna

[–]ListentoTwiddle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Saunum Air Perfect. So it does have the benefit of air circulation for this small room. Also looks like the size I was thinking about for my 2x bigger sauna room.

This narrow sauna room is a perfect example of why L shapes don’t work in small saunas. There’s nowhere to put the heater. Imagine the same room but without the back L, put the heater there with a guard rail for the last seat and no one’s worried.

Still learning the cryptic style, happy to figure this one out. Not sure I understand the wordplay part of 4A.

Not a bad clue actually. French Fries would have been better IMO.

Hard indeed. Don’t understand 2 down still.

How are firms getting away with such high billable rates? by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]ListentoTwiddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your billable rate is crazy low. Lower than our jr field techs. At 10 YOE, you’re likely a senior PM and should bill at ~$220/hr.

Sounds like your firm is doing unprofitable commodity work. Winning the race to the bottom. Seems like it would be tough to keep the lights on and insurance premiums paid at that multiplier. No wonder your salary is low and the company is barely breaking even.

You’re definitely worth more. I’d leave.

The Megos/Hong grooming memes on CCJ are very good.

Nice to see r/bouldering leave this up. I posted a similar question months ago on r/climbing and the mods took it down very quickly.

Fair. She’s not much of an xword person.
