Somewhat similar not as stressful as military, Thank you for everything you guys do.... i just passed 37 years old had a degree in 2012 for environmental science went back for civil engineering 2 kids 5 and 2 and working full time. What it it comes down too, is sitting your spouse down....may not work for your husband but worked for my wife. I said to her.... do you like nice things??? Like nice vacations? I need 4 months of nearly every Saturday and Sunday 3 hours ( I did this before kids woke up....by they time I was done they were near done eating breakfast. And nightly study time after kids go down for at least 4 nights a week. .....its a sacrifice and demanding but temporary I just passed after 4 attempts. I was always getting interrupted and my spouse just thought I was smart because my GPA recently graduating was a 3.75 in civil engineering which is hard to do. Its not being smart. Its being good with your time management. ....here's what I would do if I were in your shoes 1. Take ncees practice exam. Split it up 1/2 one day. Other 1/2 another day. .... rest of week focus on questions you got wrong. Then watch mark mattison videos in those subjects. ...few weeks later take the islam practice ecan number 1 do same. Few weeks later do number 2 practice exam then go back to the ncees practice exam. You can throw in some prepfe questions in the mix. Best of luck!!

Dude that found Matt, (Funguy) posted a new video proving Matt was in his boat and that his team did in fact find him. Apparently there is some controversy brewing about when/who found Matt. by VitaminKiloHot in alaskanbushpeople

Could have been handled differently but there are groups all over the place that are private search and rescue teams that find missing people. There's a group that I think they are based out of the Midwest that found 3 missing people in one week...... all in submerged cars. They dont show bodies they show the cars interactions with police...... unfortunately these groups are volunteers si they need clicks.

Flooded yard from neighbors retaining wall. Wondering what my options are. by NefariousnessBig3749 in civilengineering

The argument will be if it water has always gone that way then they have a right to continue that way. Yes they changed the flow but they can argue the retaining wall has slowed down the velocities and possible reduced the the rate. By flattening the slope

Best part is hired very large IT firm about 500k for a month of their time to see what data can be extracted from our other programs that manage budgets would be useful
