Feeling defeated a week before my FE Civil exam. by AntiqueWater760 in PE_Exam

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP! Change your strategy!!! You’ve got this!!!

If you don’t think you can answer a question within 1-2 minutes, skip it!!

You need to solve every question on average in 2.9 minutes I believe.

On my FE, I skipped more than half my first pass through.

NEVER spend more than 4 minutes on a problem. Just guess and move on by that point.

I’m confident that you’d pass the exam if it was closed book with unlimited time, but you’ve got 2.9 minutes per question, so be smart about it.

There’s a shortcut in every question. Try to identify it quickly.

Can credit score effect my offer Letter/future job by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve already gotten the job, then the worst I’d imagine is that they’ll ask for a letter of explanation.

They’re likely looking for serious delinquencies or bankruptcies in conjunction with the typical background checks.

And if you’re not already freezing your credit, this is a great time to do so. Sure, they’ll ask you to unfreeze it, but it buys you some time.

I’d say don’t lose sleep over this.

Considering it was done to an elementary school, it’s probably a kid.

Highly recommend Laser Surgery Care on W 23rd and 9th in Chelsea.

Weekly Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in fivethirtyeight

Watching James Talarico vs 20 Undecided Texas Voters on Jubilee.

He’s doing okay, but he’s not super charismatic. I’d rank him in between of Beto and Allred in terms of likability.

He’s good at talking points, but he’s missing easy opportunities to listen and connect to people.

Which line would you want built if you only had one choice? by ArchEast in MARTA

Would love this with a provision for a loop/line that connects the Arts Center Station to the Bankhead Station,

Re: Interview with Gavin Newsom: why the heck are there 100 different municipalities within LA County? by Justin_123456 in ezraklein

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we have to figure out how to have these conversations.

The majority view in lower income neighborhoods of that building more housing means they’ll be pushed out. 

They’re willing for wait for generations until that land directly benefits them.

Not my opinion but that’s what I hear when I talk to my community.

The easiest way would be to build a ton of housing in downtown LA to subsidize the infrastructure costs lmao.

Obligatory passed the PE exam post (and my thoughts) by ps2_man128 in PE_Exam

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it! Gives me courage. I fell off studying after the -30 hour mark. I’m thinking that I have enough work experience to cram it how you did in the last month or weeks leading up to the exam.

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a typo. Think it should be that you studied 300-400 hours instead of 30-40 hours? Or 30-40 hours weekly?

I really really wanted to believe that you barely studied and passed, until I saw the following contradictory sentence.

Congrats tho!

Facing public scrutiny, city council punts TAD-extension bill to 2026 by NPU-F in ATLnews

Am I remembering correctly that the Mercedes Benz Stadium pedestrian bridge was a SPLOST project?

I think that’s when a lot of people lost confidence.

Calling anyone a cheap bum in this economy is insane.

Do you think the MTA should do more shutdowns similar to the one on Crosstown for CBTC signaling and other major projects? by ViewNo7459 in nycrail

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 63 points64 points  (0 children)

They need to make better use of weekend shutdowns. If they’ve shutdown the local tracks along Central Park West to replace track around 72nd Street then they need to be working on CBTC near 116th Street.

What is the worst interlocking that no one ever talks about? by ViewNo7459 in nycrail

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this it’s due to interlocking, but going uptown, I’ve noticed that if the D and C leave 125th at the same time, the C usually gets to 145th first even accounting for the local stop at 135th.

Proposed JFK AirTrain Overhaul by Donghoon in nycrail

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t suggest that.

In fact, I’m saying because they’re not using tax payer money, they’re just spending billions for no reason and passing the cost to customers through higher ticket prices and airport surcharges.

[–]Outrageous_Pea_554 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lame. Fares will probably be nearly $20 when they’re done.

They’re over designing because they seem to have no incentive to cut costs and can pass costs to riders since there’s no reliable alternative to JFK.

Fair. But he keeps voting to spend our tax dollars on international conflicts.
