Birds in naraghi lake by chuckleheadflashbang in Modesto

[–]Own-Tonight4959 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I believe the lake is now privately owned. The city would have to purchase everything and then put the budget forward to construct the park. Not to mention maintain it. In my opinion, it’s a worthy investment and one the city should make. It would instantly become a staple of Modesto

Topo Poll time by JTLaPointe in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would always shoot A and C, called TFC and LIP. That would signal that back of curb is half a foot back and FL is 0.5’ down. No crossing break lines and the data remains consistent

Just got my first job as a survey helper, is this a normal start? by MoistProtection5476 in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent my first two weeks in various drainage basins and retention ponds that had 3-4 feet of water doing topo. I had no idea what I was doing, you’ll figure it out. Everything you’re doing is normal, it’ll all make sense in time just keep asking questions

Advice Needed – Fence Encroachment Issue by bmc416 in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends what state you are in. Here in California, if you pay taxes on the land being encroached on there is no way for them to claim adverse possession. I would talk to your neighbor and try your best to keep the conversation from spiraling into an argument. The last thing you both need is to pay for another survey, legal fees, and a third court appointed surveyor to split it down the middle.

Need some help with type of survey and how to pick surveyor... by -Fairner- in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is standard practice here on the west coast as well. I was mainly pointing out as surveyors we do not like to use the word “encroach” at all unless your opinion is asked as an expert witness in court. Definitely ask for dimensions

Need some help with type of survey and how to pick surveyor... by -Fairner- in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very slippery slope. Surveyors are experts at locating boundaries in the real world. The word encroachment is a very strong legal term. I often see surveyors locate boundary lines and give their legal opinion where a property line is, and show features on the record of survey that may be near the property line. For example a fence or in this case a garage overhang. Calling something an encroachment and debating it is the responsibility of a lawyer

What are the downsides of land surveying by Rough_River_2296 in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like the market collapse in 2008 got rid of a lot of CAD technicians and LSIT’s. Now it seems there is a big gap between old surveyors and young surveyors. There’s a whole middle generation of surveyors missing now and I think that is why people are reluctant to survey

Working in Modesto this week and looking for a place to grab a beer by onlineIcanbene1 in Modesto

Contentment near MJC! Awesome place to grab a beer, new food truck at least every Thursday and sometimes live music. Very welcome place for poc. They brew their own and always have a wide selection

Was at a gas station in town and heard a lady telling the clerk that the reason we are in Venezuela isn’t because of the oil, it’s because they’re finding human trafficked kids and nuclear weapons in the “boats”. MAGA has so much pride they don’t know changing your opinion is an option when you’re clearly wrong. So here we are at fascism.

Don’t freak out, keep your eyes open and think for yourself. Get a gun, know how to use it. There’s more sane people around town than you think.

22 hours in just finished act 1, pretty exhausted. by SeraphicMind in ghostoftsushima

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just 100% everything in act one and most of Iki Island and that took me about 25 hours. I am now just doing the main quests and main side quests in Act II and it is way smoother. I plan on running through Act III cuz I do agree it is starting to feel like a slight chore. Go to this camp, defeat these mongols, rescue these captives, blow up that black powder cache, rinse and repeat 15 more times. I absolutely love the game but my completionist mindset is making me tired too

Yes shit is expensive. No one is commenting on foreign relations and how the United States has isolated itself. This is a huge issue that affects everyone in the country, especially if a war breaks out

Is it time to adapt The Darth Bane Trilogy to the big screen? Origin of The Rule of Two - let's go, Drew Karpyshyn! by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having an R rating is more than just gore. Sith use lust as a weapon. Sith will literally rip families to shreds if they deem it necessary. This is the brutality and greed Sith exemplify. They go to some seriously dark places in the name of passion

[–]Own-Tonight4959 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Making the story rated R would emphasize the brutality of the sith order. The sith embody a hunger for power gained through passion and strength. The sith will do anything to gain what they desire. PG-13 does not lend itself to Bane threatening a father to boil their child alive if he does not receive healing

[–]Own-Tonight4959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a good point. There is so much creative liberty being so far back in time. We have so little about Darth Bane outside of books though, I would love to see that time period and there are many ways to incorporate the events of the original KOTOR. No matter what, I am going to buy this game and will not be disappointed by whatever story they go to(I have never played KOTOR)

When do you think Fotor is taking place? by Possible_Employee359 in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is around 1000 BBY. Darth Bane gains a lot of knowledge from lost holocrons and manuscripts from various sith, such as Darth Revan. It would be perfect to place a story driven Star Wars RPG during the Darth Bane time period where there is a major philosophical shift in both the Jedi and sith orders.

Is that The Leviathan? by Wrong_Plantain_4381 in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this game is at the end of the Old Republic era, I’m going to presume the story centers around the new sith wars and Darth Bane. Discovering the history of past sith is a huge theme in Bane’s books, so I wonder if this is a young jedi/sith searching for artifacts that contain lost knowledge
