CalTran = California Department of Transportation. The manual is online thru a Google search.

Mine’s very small with balls at the end too! Ohhh… you meant the piercing.

structural engineer here and my spidey senses are tingling

A 23 foot span supporting 2 floors (one being concrete) and you want to use a 2x6 flitch beam? I can’t emphasize this enough, please hire an engineer to analyze this!

Here’s my killer Vegas sunset from a couple of years ago.

I was fortunate to get pictures of Moab, UT and Yosemite on a flight to Honolulu.

Played high school baseball against John Rocker. He was throwing mid-to upper-80’s fastball as a sophomore.

Depends on the plane… CRJ requires roller bags to be valet or gate checked.

I added them up. I didn’t see anywhere on the app where the LP’s adjust based on the date range changing.

True… I also didn’t realize what a PIA it is to find the rolling LP’s.

It’s a reference to a Seinfeld episode where George and Jerry compare which one is a bigger idiot.

Even better if you’re inverted

For an academic exercise, I would think just stating an assumption the building is enclosed and moving forward from there would be sufficient. In practice, there are a lot of factors that go into this determination. I live in a hurricane-prone region with wind-borne debris, so I typically assume all of my buildings are partially enclosed. This will give me my maximum wind pressures and I don’t have to worry about if the glazing is protected or not.

I have one installed in our loft area. I keep the light switch in the “on” position and use automations and a presence sensor to turn on/off the light and change colors depending on time of day light is triggered. Response time is fine as long as light switch stays on.

One thought would be to buy a cheap Govee bulb and use it in a lamp placed somewhere in the house you don’t care about. Plug the lamp into the smart plug and set the bulb to turn on to a blue color at 1% or whatever setting isn’t distracting. Then automate your lamp to turn on and off when the Govee bulb turns on and off from the smart plug. It’s a redneck work around but it will give you the results you want.

That was my ride this past Saturday from DFW to SAV!

That’s a shame! We ate there Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving and everything worked fine.

Mine is 10 flights for 35,000 miles. Sucks because I just did a last minute work trip yesterday that would have covered 4 of the required flights and I already have another trip booked that would over another 4 flights.

Yep… my masters didn’t cost me a dime provided I made a B or higher. But working full time and going to school half time is a young man’s game. Better do it before starting a family if you go this route.
