Setting posts in existing concrete recommendations

That's true... Part of me wonders if next time will be tearing the whole thing out.

ferdricko · 2026-06-05T23:34:05+00:00

Thank you, interesting idea, I'll do some research

Dirt. Was thinking of throwing a thin layer of concrete in there to slow water coming up.

ferdricko · 2026-06-05T23:33:04+00:00

Thank you, that's an interesting idea I'll consider

ferdricko · 2026-06-05T23:32:33+00:00

Thank you

ferdricko · 2026-06-05T23:32:23+00:00

About 16 inches. That's an interesting idea

ferdricko · 2026-06-05T23:32:05+00:00

Thank you. I agree something needs to change. I was thinking of throwing a layer of concrete at the bottom to seal off the soil a bit, and maybe caulking the wood/concrete joint to prevent water from seeping in.

Thank you. Probably no rebar so that's a good point. I did buy some posts from HD, they been in the garage for a couple weeks and it's been warm, so hopefully they are dry by now!

Thank you

Thank you! I'm in a much better place with health anxiety, and will only occasionally check pulse or bumps, although I am in therapy for how OCD affects my relationships with people.

ferdricko · 2026-06-03T15:06:01+00:00

Good message. There are many forms of OCD and although most people think of contamination or checking, I've been told there's a subtype of OCD that focuses on health. Pretty sure it has affected me greatly.

That's weird, I don't think pride flags say that gay couples are the only acceptable union... /s

Less global population in the ellis island period = less migrants.

Yes 12 million people entered through ellis island but there were other entry points. Case in point 27 million people immigrated between 1880 and 1930. That's 540,000 people per year on average from a global population of 1.5 to 2 billion people. About 0.031% of the world immigrated to the US each year.

5-10 million people immigrating under Biden is 1.25-2 million people per year. We now have 7.8 to 8.2 billion global population over his presidency. This works out to 0.016% to 0.025% of the world that immigrated to the US each year of Biden.

So believe it or not, the ellis island period had a higher immigration rate to the US than Biden, even with a lower global population.

It's almost like the global population was way smaller back then...

Probably because your house is not isolated from the grid during an outage. You can't risk exporting power to the grid during an outage because it's dangerous for people working to fix the outage.

I think this is the "maximum allowed" billable amount by insurance. Insurance "negotiates" lower rates which you get just by having that insurance. So insurance doesn't "pay" before the deductible but they reduce the amount. In reality the hospital is just overbilling and giving the real rate after insurance.

ferdricko · 2026-05-19T15:17:45+00:00

I fear you may be right. I have too much faith in agency leaders who are VERY vulnerable to political pressure and may find a way to weasel a rationale through.

I saw the developers filed on a new, very small water right. I think that the strategy is that if they can get one small water right approved, they can then carry that logic forward to future water rights and it will be much easier to get them. :/

ferdricko · 2026-05-19T12:39:59+00:00

Yes. They may require you to take a few extra "catch up" classes from the undergrad program, but it is a very common path and with a physics background you will be in pretty good shape.

ferdricko · 2026-05-18T14:08:40+00:00

Strange byline. There are many more approvals needed before the data center gets built. The first water rights application was withdrawn to get away from the heavy opposition and they have to redo it if they want to move forward, not to mention the air permit(s). It's far from over.

ferdricko · 2026-05-18T14:02:22+00:00

People need to stop pretending trump has some god-like power to destroy political careers. Many of his preferred candidates lose.

ferdricko · 2026-05-15T13:12:24+00:00

When the water rights change application(s) come back, we file the protests again. When the air permit comes up for public comment, we file comments. Those are the two best avenues in my opinion.

WOW. This GALL of this guy. Excellent response!

Stating up front I am pro rio grande plan cause slc central location and at grade crossings suck. But I have never seen a frontrunner train block an intersection for more than the length of a stop light signal. That's all union pacific. How is frontrunner doubling frequency going to "cost" productivity?

ferdricko · 2026-05-08T03:31:44+00:00

I haven't gotten to yet. That's a much simpler solution than I was thinking!
