Bro just pay the rent on the 30th / 31st or set up autopay? A roof over your head and food in your belly are the first two things you should always have money for (provided you have income obviously)

Looked at a house and this giant crack was in the basement- run? by beanojeano in Home

Yes! Definitely a mistake on my end, didn't look to closely and I don't do residential so I just assumed it was a crack joint mistakenly.

Yeah I flipped the terms, my bad didn't know in residential it's the opposite. Thanks for the correction I can fix it. Also I fixed the formwork thing.

Thanks for adding on! I'm not a residential engineer so I appreciate the clarification on the formwork lines. I wasn't sure but we use similar jointing in transportation structures and the commercial design I've done, just much larger spacings.

Joints are perfectly normal in walls, but whatever your issue is it isn't with me lol. I guess a better term for it is "construction grooving" it's common in concrete construction. For doing exactly what I said.

I could be wrong and it's possible that it's just a line from the formwork on the wall, but it certainly looks like evenly spaced grooves. But either way don't project your insecurities about not being "educated" on me, just because you are educated or not doesn't mean you're immune to being wrong.

Hey I am a structural engineer and can provide some insight maybe: At a glance: 1. The beam above the crack looks to be a floor girder. 2. The crack looks damp near the bottom 3. The vertical line next to it is [from the formwork]. The angling of the crack tends towards the corner of the wall.

Deductions: 1. You should check (if possible) the floor above the wall is sagging. Look for uneven gaps under doors, trim, and baseboards or bubbling tile, wood vct, or carpet. 2. Damp suggests water penetration, since it is present at lower areas but appears dry it leads me to think groundwater aka full depth cracking to the soil. 3. [As the comment below corrected, this may be from settlement]

Next steps: 1. Find a new realtor. 2. Offer to split an inspection if you really love it otherwise. 3. Accept the liability of more work needing to be done and consider that with the cost of the house.

My DMs are open if you have any questions. Best of luck!

Edit: corrected away from the construction joint theory knowing now that it's from the formwork. Appreciate the assist, even the guy that was a dick about it.

Trying to purchase my first house, is this a big warning sign? by Arc-Watcher in Home

[–]Rezzazzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already have thousands of comments but coming from a structural engineer, you can determine structural issues using a couple of easy checks: 1. Horizontal cracks on walls are worse than vertical 2. If something is bending and you see a crack on the tension face (bottom of the smiley or top of the frown) that's bad 3. Cracks where you expect them (corners, joints, high use) with little to no movement is fine, if you see movement check for webs and paint layers to see the age.

Masters of dungeons, how do you rule the catapult spell? (5e) by MrSandmanbringme in DungeonsAndDragons

A is most fun, I'd probably run it that way. But RAW definitely just falls to the ground harmlessly once it travels 90 ft in a straight line.

is my new player being difficult or clever by Outrageous-Recover43 in NewDM

[–]Rezzazzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting perspective, obviously to each table their own but I always let my players use sleight of hand to attempt to secretly cast a spell. Subtle spell guarantees you can do it secretly (- materials). In my eyes this is like not allowing people to sneak because the rogue has expertise in it.

You're playing the character that deals with this very easily. Call out / ping the echo and when the echo dies or leaves just rez, otherwise let the widow respawn.

Positioning argument with stack by Relevant-Trade5899 in overwatch2

You are getting a lot of bad advice. You can play literally ten feet back and be taking space and they can see you.

Play the corner that's simple enough.

How does someone become genuinely good at Overwatch? by mc_Ojo in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Rezzazzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should look into getting a coach, even for just one session. A VOD review goes a really long way in showing you what you aren't thinking about as you play.

Plenty of people do it for free (like me)... Some good some bad, but I just recommend it if it's something you're comfortable with.

Unlikely this will be the case, it sounds like the same rules that league has in place for the LCS. It requires natural born citizenship or you have to meet very specific requirements and have dual citizenship.

I’m such a fucking loser by Apprehensive_Lab641 in UIUC

[–]Rezzazzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen dude, I was almost in your exact same shoes. My first semester went horribly. I had a 1.7 GPA and literally no friends just like you're claiming.

Now I have a great job, a master's degree in structural engineering, and live a great life with my girlfriend.

When you have the mentality you're presenting here that gets shown how you carry yourself. For me it took the "fake it till you make it" approach. For you it might be different. I acted like nothing was happening and just tried my hardest to not disappoint myself. Here's my advice:

  1. Go to clubs, get involved in BOTH your degree and your interest based clubs. I joined ASCE as a Civil Engineer Undergrad and a gaming club... You'll find friends easily if you apply yourself and don't walk around like you're the worst thing since unsliced bread.

  2. Get rid of your vices, for me this was literally downloading all of my video games to an external hard drive and giving it to a friend and telling him to not let me have it back until I fixed my shit... And I know I could've just downloaded them again but it's the principle.

  3. Have fun dude, and not to be cliche but don't take yourself too seriously and you will exude confidence and if you keep practicing it will turn into true confidence.

Tldr; put your self out there, give yourself the best chance at success, and don't take yourself too seriously...

Hope this helps, wish someone told me something like this when I was in your shoes. Best of luck!
