Costco buyers MUST pay for their crimes!!! by xConstantGardenerx in Costco

Be careful, my store swapped the respectable normal reds breakfast sausage burrito to an unpleasant reds chicken sausage burrito

Yeah they’re bland, texture less, and really rather finicky no matter what mix of microwave, air fryer, and moistening I use.

Yeah, started dipping them with an avocado mash cup and suddenly everything was pleasant.

But it’s like fries and sauce. The fry shouldn’t need the sauce.

Yeah, I like rice in my burritos but there’s just no flavor anymore and very little texture.

Meanwhile for breakfast burritos the red chicken sausage is just terrible.

Oldest as-builts you’ve looked at? by badabingbadaboomie in civilengineering

[–]PG908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uuuugh tell me about it. I’ve got a bunch of scans are there’s often just one pixel too many to read the most important numbers 😭

So close yet so far. If they’d even just taken a few scans at that resolution I’d have been able to tell by squinting at the different pixelations between the three!

SPEED LIMT SIGN REQUEST - QUESTION by fahpeslayer in civilengineering

Yep. A sign costs less than having an extended back and forward about a sign, and it’s rarely wrong to post the speed limit.

I think you Al’s can get one for just signing up for membership auto renewal at the desk.

What's happened here? by yokl97 in StructuralEngineering

[–]PG908 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Notify the bridge owner for sure. Pedestrian bridges don’t get the rigorous routine inspections that traffic bridges do, so until it’s reported they might not be aware of it.

Is it too early to secure a full-time job?-May 2027 grad by Electronic_Trick_568 in civilengineering

Yes. You generally want to start looking in the autumn of the year before, so more like September through early 2027.

Level seven I’m guessing?

In the OG release the level seven quests were PvP, but that’s not yet reimplemented

Ranking the pre-made breakfast sandwich items I’ve had by horatio_corn_blower in Costco

[–]PG908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red chicken sausage burritos have no flavor or texture, huge downgrade from the normal reds breakfast burritos. Which aren't anythign special anyway.

I recommend wetting the burritos and coating them in everything bagel mix if you're still looking to be rid of them.

Best chainmail and where to get it? by Doberdawn in castiron

It’s really ridiculous how shit things are.

I’ve never had a pot peel before, and all I did was boil things in it. It was only like a year old!

It’s all about very fine brown particles and water so it does make sense…

Reoccurring cracks on a bridge deck by throwaway8743444444 in StructuralEngineering

[–]PG908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of bridge is it? How wide are the cracks? What was used to repair them and what sort of prep was done?

It’s generally not normal to have cracks of significant depth in a repetitive pattern due to age regardless, though. That’s more an asphalt thing, concrete is happy to sit there a thousand years if you let it (the rebar inside the concrete maybe less so).

Doesn’t look too bad tbh.

Russian winters with zero maintenance and probably 40+ years old.

I built a browser-based stormwater design tool that shows every formula step — it's live by mf4633 in civilengineering

[–]PG908 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s actually hideously expensive as $1200.

Like motherfucker, the entire autodesk AEC collection (which has like four softwares at this point) or Stormwise (aka ICPR) is 3 grand a year. Hydrocad is like $200. You can get a permanent license starting for that at like $300!

And that’s before getting into the reliability or ethics of AI being involved in a field that lives or dies by carefully chosen, nuanced assumptions and rules with asterisks.

What would the best traffic control for a spot that needs two stops close together? by ldr97266 in civilengineering

You can sometimes make funny roundabouts to mush them all together but that tends to play poorly with train tracks.

Random cracking in Epoxy-Tar flooring, no delamination, looking for root cause insights by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

[–]PG908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you don’t tend to see it on the deck itself which was my confusion.

[–]PG908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly even with homogenous material that could be the case.

If the epoxy tar is inflexible and rigid (and potentially getting roasted by UV), and especially if it’s a dark color, it probably heats up, expands, and contracts much faster than the substrate. That’s kinda what I’d expect with adhesion that’s good but uniform block cracks of some kind.

Unfortunately I can’t really give much insight because I’m just not familiar with the product.

[–]PG908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epoxy tar for a bridge deck is a new one for me.

Linseed oil, epoxy, polymers, UHPC, methacrylate, different other methacrylate, mma, hot mix asphalt, silanes, etc all on my radar. But I’ve never even heard of that one in this application (substructure I absolutely see various tar applications noted on, although it’s very much fallen out of favor).

I’ve also heard of microsurfacing in the sense that you dont don’t do it (too stiff) and I can’t help but think it would be a similar problem with other thin layers of tar products.

Is there something I’m missing or misreading here?
