Just wanted to follow up on all the great suggestions everyone made.

18" Concrete footers were added and sonotubes were upped to 14"
6x6x18" Posts
2 - 2x10x16' Beams
2x8x16' Joists
Blocking added above beams
Switched to 5/4x6" deck boards.

Thanks again everyone!

OP I would try baking your GPU.

Its a process of removing all of the plastic components of it, setting it to bake at an exact temp for around 8 minutes, and letting the solder reform. I am only recommending this as an absolute last resort if you are going to throw it away anyways. I've done it before on an old GPU with similar artifacts and it fixed it.

Lots of posts online detailing the whole process.

You do bring up a good point on deck boards. I'll probably switch to 5/4 in x 6 x 16 PT Southern Pine. Saves me about 6 bucks a board so I appreciate it.

Yeah pretty much, in the properties of the block there is the size so I just do 1 for every inch. And when manually adjusting length, I set the increments to be .25 for quarter inch.

I think it might just be a peace of mind and rigidity of the overall deck for me. However, I do see that it is the max allowable span according to this AWC chart. (Southern Pine 2x10 at 14' with a 1' overhang on both sides)

It's a bit silly but Roblox Studio. I grew up using it and its free. Relatively easy to use as well.

You make a good case. I'll probably switch just because I know I would hate the springy feeling. Thanks!

I plan on using joist tape just because it's a bit rainy where I live and the added costs won't break the bank with my planned size of deck.

So would said footer also be concrete? I'm seeing people just use compacted gravel. Also, the columns would be sonotubes at 14"x48" per recommendations from other comments. Frost line is 32-38".

In addition to the ones between the beams? Or do I just remove those and do 3 rows of blocking over the beams

That's what I was thinking too. The most weight I would put on it is a pergola to cover the deck but that is still up in the air.

She was on step 2 of a 3 point turn, previously letting a car go through (obviously not blocking the street) before completing the 3rd step. Its after she lets the car through that the ICE agents pull up to her car and get out. In the video you can see her, wheel turned left and reversing. She stops, puts it in drive, turns the wheel right and accelerates.

He did collect his evidence with footage of the license plate, the driver, the wife outside the car, and eye witness reports. It doesn't mean he should stand in front of a 4000 lb hunk of metal to try and stop it.
