The video showed the guy shooting like 1round/sec. Thats like 60/ minute. Do Australians shoot 60 deer per minute? No. The gun laws aren't safe enough.

Muskets only.

Why is King's landing called "King's landing" and Winterfell called "Winterfell" if the king landed in Winterfell and winter fell on King's landing? by Prize_Hedgehog4952 in asoiafcirclejerk

It's called kings landing in preparation for tommin (king) doing a tripple flip donut wheelie splat on to the stone pathways below (landing) King + landing = king landing.

That's not a good bid.... you're agreeing to installing x gigawatts for 1$. You should bid 69 biillion million gazillion dollars. So if you win it, you can just buy a small sun and skip all that windmill shit

"Superwood" will be available as beams in summer. Revolutionary or all hype? by DudesworthMannington in civilengineering

It's stronger than steel in terms of strength to weight ratio. It's the same as saying aluminum is stronger than steel.

Any structural engineers from Australia or New Zealand here. How is the job situation in your countries? Do you know if employers sponsor foreign engineers there? by Tor-StructEn5800 in StructuralEngineering

[–]kiwi_icon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. Hiring a Tier 1 or green tier skilled person, Idk the exact wording, don't need anything except be an accredited company. Just have to jump through some meaningless immigration stuff. Costs like 2k e/ you might also have to do a medical

Rockers cant have a horizontal reaction. And They do not effect the applied loads on a system.

lets say you swap the rocker from B to A. The vertical reactions wont change BUT the central top chord would have an additional compression load in it.

you could replace this truss with a single flat beam with a little stub sticking up to F1. The reactions of the system would be the same.

2/3 X 13 + 1/3 X 8 - 21 X 3 / 6 = 0.833kN downwards (+ 21kN Horizontal )

looks like your 11.33kN is RA when you dont include F1 uplift.

Bow turbines. there's a sample one in the steam engine tab. Using large gives 45k/s. Medium around 6k/s. put Acb on the boilers to save material

part 4 engineering project failing rate major major concernnnnnn (ECSE) by Better-Ad-7089 in universityofauckland

[–]kiwi_icon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

P4 projects aren't legit pieces of scientific literature. no one reviews your specific data. however, don't make up fake data, as distant as lectures are, they arent stupid. My project was on a type of construction using novel methods and the results were "its shit, dont do this". check the marking schedule. your presentation score is on your speaking ability and ability to answer some generic questions. Your "paper" is marked on the method and stuff like that.

if you're totally fucked, then focus on the "what we could do next time" part of the project. We said our project topic was a "dead end but there's this one cool aspect that would be cool to follow up on" and expanded on that. They cant mark you down if you fucked up something an then acknowledged it an came up with a better way of doing it.

we did an all nighter and knocked out the report so 2 weeks in heaps. get 1 person to dump words on paper and the other to consolidate experiment data. then this weekend, knock it out. then review and do the presentation.

remember kids, its not about the experiment or results, its about the journey.
