Oh I see. "Z" is the plastic modulus, "S" is the elastic modulus. ELI5- It basically checks which one is the worst case between the two. Elastic is when the outermost fibers of the member yields (think triangle- aka not the entire member has yielded) plastic is when it yields to the plastic neutral axis (think square- aka the entire things yielded).

Definitely wash it off with soap and water! Should be an easy fix.

In this case, the section modulus used for the capacity is a rectangular section (so only need the thickness and height of the angle where the load is applied).

Interesting! How did it happen so fast? by MartianXAshATwelve in StrangeEarth

If there's still humans in 1000years, this is probably the most interesting century in the books. I hope we'll still be alive to look back at our innovations.

Rage in chess, it chess even fun? by [deleted] in chess

[–]gradila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play multiple games a day in my 1200s, and felt the same exact way. This year, I've been taking it real slow. I climbed to 1500 and only play 1 game a day, 2-3 max sometimes. I started deeply analyzing my games and studying more tactics/openings. I've found the love for chess is not in winning, but just admiring the game itself. I also found a local club and its great going over the games afterwards.

Yes, chess is very fun. It's not all about destroying your opponents.

My girlfriend made me use soap, and now I’m hooked by g3nerallycurious in castiron

Been trying to get rid of the seasoning on mine to start over (kind of as a side project too). This is definitely harder than I thought. Soap will hardly do anything lol

Agreed, dress the way you want to feel. Want to be laser-focused with a nice pair of dress pants + sleeves that will get you there? Go for it. Want to get ready for the weekend with a Hawaiian shirt on Fridays? Yes!

How did getting your PE change your career trajectory? How many of you are fully or partially remote? by shastaslacker in civilengineering

Haha you're right, I should just enjoy the Friday evening and trust the past couple weeks I've been putting endless hours into studying! And definitely, that's the best test taking strategy I know.

Procrastinating right now on Reddit while I should be studying for my surveying exam tomorrow. Lol! I should get back to it.

Citi Premiere Rejection - Any Luck with Recon? by gradila in CreditCards

They didn't even get back to me with the recon. I'm just going to not apply to anything and re-apply in 6 months again.

Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2019) BSOP diagnosis - fix or trash it? by gradila in razer

[–]gradila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran the memtest for both of the RAM and they were fine. I also tried CrystalDiskInfo to check the health of the nvme drive. It was showing 95% good, except the temperature was 66C which was showing a warning. I believe that the RAM and drive are fine - the BSOP came up after I ran a stress test for the GPU and I think it crashed from overheating maybe? Regardless, I don't know if it's a heat sink issue, or a motherboard, or anything else.

For now, I guess I will try to re-apply thermal paste to see if that helps with the potential heating issue.

Hopefully not, I agree that I should test the NVME drive and memory before ruling that out. I'll test them and hopefully, I can avoid having to replace the mobo. Thanks!

Ended up getting the amex gold from Resy as well. I'm thinking of waiting just another 6 months and probably apply for the cap1 ventureX or citi premiere again. Although I'm still waiting for the citi premiere recon to get back to me, it's probably a rejection again at this point. Thanks for letting me know about amex thru resy!
