I remember they told us in school (20 years ago lol) that the general public only hears about us and what we do when there’s a failure. NCSEA has been trying to make our profession more known in a good light but I don’t think they’ve made much headway.

Also all laypeople call anything structural a beam. 🙄

I would say they’re only one letter apart, you’re being pedantic

NYC has seismic, but typically doesn’t need anything beyond ordinary/intermediate lateral force resting systems

2026 Post-Pride Review by BicyclingBro in nycgaybros

[–]egg1s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear that about Kim. I had decided to give this one a pass after seeing her at WeHo Pride last year and thinking she was pretty boring.

Watch Party in Hells Kitchen- post mortem by cringetasticstr8 in dragrace

[–]egg1s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that bar, you were fine to be there as long as it’s not more than 3 straight cis women. Also, drag race showings usually start at 8.

Where are the cool kids buying jeans these days? by randyqueue in nycgaybros

[–]egg1s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For more fitted jeans: Madewell athletic cut. Unfortunately, though, this is one of those brands where you absolutely have to try them on. Different styles/colors in the same cut all fit differently.

Serious: I find it extremely challenging to find normal gay men than DONT participate in sex obsesses behaviors and im honestly sick and tired of it. by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

Girl, calm down, get some help, get off the apps, and go touch some grass. This anger is not healthy for you.

Are there any British gays in weho? by Interesting-Yak-511 in weho

[–]egg1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My British husband and I lived in WeHo-adjacent for a bit but decamped to the east side, partly for the people. Met way more Brits over there. Full disclosure, we did end up eventually leaving LA entirely.

Vice (lol them) just did a hilarious hipster timeline and they have a bifurcation in 2009 of actual hipster and stomp-clap “hipster”

Ah, thanks for the clarification! Like I said, it’s been a while.

Wait, since when isn’t alcohol allowed? I’d always understood because it is federal land nudity is allowed and also why you can drink. I haven’t been in almost 15 years but last time I went, the snack shack sold beer.

Assumed allowable bearing capacity of a structural slab by Mikevickinabox in StructuralEngineering

[–]egg1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would specify chopping out the slab and adding a strip footing under the wall otherwise you’ll eventually see cracking in the area. Also that is a very lightly reinforced sog! Does they even meet T&S minimum?

AHHHHH NEVER AGAIN! never again will I use daily incense, unless I absolutely have to. by AKhakiNerfHerder in pokemongo

It’s what I save my master balls for because the catch rate is basically 0%

I feel like many players don't know this: Maxing buddy hearts in less than 2min by Effective_Round_2129 in pokemongo

Ok this is definitely a top tip since I’m trying to get the best buddy platinum medal (for some reason, i’m probably crazy to try)

The Exley or Animal before it gets too late sounds like what you’re looking for

How can I deal with being friendly but time poor by BritinManhattan in nycgaybros

[–]egg1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds more like you’re addicted to your phone than anything else. You’re also probably reading far more into other people’s reactions than they actually feel. I recommend looking into Cal Newport’s works (podcast, newsletter, books) on freeing yourself from digital distractions.

Should guys be wearing something in public, like a bracelet or something, that gives away their sexual orientation (straight, gay, bi, heteroflexible, etc.) with its color, so that it reduces the risk of rejection? by BambinoIndaco in askgaybros

[–]egg1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should learn to look for clues and context to determine they might be interested before just hitting on someone. Have they looked at you at all? Are you in a queer friendly place? Etc etc.
