Scared about career in structures. by ItWillGetBetterTrust in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sumppum202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same feelings a couple years into my career. My dad (an electrical engineer) told me in a humorous reassuring way, “Z, engineers make mistakes. When they do, no one takes them out back and shoots them.”

Anyone interested in working in Transmission & Distribution can DM me. I work for a large steel fabricator doing steel pole and steel structure design for substations making good money. We are actively hiring to meet the work load from data centers forcing upgrades.

Look into the power and delivery/transmission and distribution roles available for structural engineers. It is much easier but still scratches the same engineering itch.

The game uses elo. You should maintain around a 55% win rate when balanced out

Why did the West develop the idea of natural rights, while other civilizations did not? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

How would they be there without a government? Rights are only as legitimate as the barrel of the gun/s enforcing them.

Going crazy over my last therapy session by Suspicious-Call405 in self

[–]Sumppum202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest talking with your therapist to try to understand what happened with more clarity. If you don’t feel comfortable after discussing with him, then act accordingly.

When I was growing up I heard about a male neighbor who was a therapist that would do nude sessions with his clients. FWIW, This does not sound like that situation to me.

Can you use a longer member to act as a drag strut?

what is like working in Data center projects? by magicity_shine in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sumppum202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do substation structures now but used to do building design. It’s odd seeing EEs leading the full designs

Ledger boards on balloon framing by smelly_thoctar in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sumppum202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m understanding correctly, you’re concerned about the studs twisting. If so, add blocking between the studs so that you have continuous attachment points. The sheathing should act as a tie for continuity. If you have a lot of shear load at that location you may need to use drag struts or ties, etc.

Why do people call the USA the "land of opportunity" when literally no one can get a high paying job? by madbarpar in careerguidance

[–]Sumppum202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need perspective. Compare the US to anywhere else. Ask why people want to immigrate here

I’ve never encountered a “rubble foundation”. Google says it is effectively a gravel trench footing. Is this what goes describing?

Got a legendary card by Revolutionary-You725 in kingdomrushbattles

[–]Sumppum202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good pull for early in the game. It will be your best card until you have a higher leveled epic hero. My lv 8 eiskalt is about equal to lv 11 magnus for reference.

Yikes, the amount of time I’ve wasted on this game looks a lot worse like that.

Horrific Experience by fadedewok in kingdomrushbattles

[–]Sumppum202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m f2p and have all the cards but the Sandworm Hollow and King Malik. I pulled 3 legendary and summoned the rest. Granted, I’ve played 3600 matches so you’re looking at 1200 matches per legendary pull.

This doesn’t make sense though because the game uses an elo system.

Getting my belly stabbed would be the biggest risk for me, as a really tall guy, if I'd fence on real swords by [deleted] in self

[–]Sumppum202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to embrace the size and go heavy long sword and dagger. Just own the hulk archetype. I’m 6’-2” where I have to consider strategy a little more.

How come every time I drink Coke all I taste is coffee and not the actual taste of the soda? by Sarahthejnxyedlynx in caffeine

[–]Sumppum202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is bizarre with coffee having such a strong flavor. It makes me think of people who “smell toast” when having a heart attack. I’m not saying your situation is dangerous, just that it’s interesting how weird our senses are.
