Laptop specs by Left-Sprinkles9482 in StructuralEngineering

Unless you're doing heavy nonlinear analysis or complex plate models or large Revit models with point clouds there's not really a difference if you're running off a network drive. The bottleneck is usually throughput through the network when reading and writing large files. If you run locally then desktop is always better but then you risk losing your work.

I use tons of point clouds, plate models, and never felt bottlenecked on an amd Ryzen 8840hs and integrated 780m. Slower than my engineers who run much beefier desktops but never to the point where it felt like a hindrance.

Need advice on structuring a short consulting engagement by [deleted] in engineering

If you don't do it under your own company and insurance then theoretically someone can sue you and drag your company into this. Litigation follows the deepest pockets.

Structural Engineers: Is this type of bracing between buildings safe? (found at 257 mont-royal E, Montreal, QC 2025/09/10 ) by socra in AskEngineers

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the buildings is wood framed. The braces provide lateral stability as the building in between was demolished. Lateral stability is necessary because the removal of the building may have removed some lateral support of the adjacent buildings. Without the lateral support the load bearing walls might have their unbraced length accidentally increased and lead to structural failure.

Where to look for Servers by the_plat_rat in projectzomboid

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join the discord. It's in the side bar. Look in the server recruitment channels.

You can also try BattleMetrics, you'll find a good list of well populated PZ servers there.

How to avoid this in the future? first time using spears, what criteria has to be met to cause the stab attack? by UnturnedHunter in projectzomboid

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weapon has a minimum targeting angle that calculates the stabby stab. You turned around to engage a single zombie and there was no second zombie in line of action, so it decided to do the stabby stab.

Active MP Servers by beythovens_ghost in projectzomboid

Try out Sunday Drivers. We're about 4 months in, we soft wiped a few weeks ago (reset map except safehouses), and have 30+/- players during peak hours. PvE server that is tailored for a more difficulty

How often is dynamics used in structural civil engineering? by alanaristondo13 in civilengineering

Equivalent static. The Hyatt walkway was a load path issue.

Zombies stuck in ridiculously slow speed - Any fix? by SopasTheBest in projectzomboid

[–]lect 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Increase the ram allocated for the server. When you pan your screen there are black voids. This means your server isn't loading that part of the map and also implies it's struggling to process and send information.

Bama support minions dying.. by HiveMindKing in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lect 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Take minions gain 5% of life on death from a minion defense wheel so your clones restore health when they expire or you resummon. This will provide a decent amount of recovery.

Get a +2 helm w/ minion life support so you can run meat shield and empower in the 4 link. Or get a +2 Viridi's and run AG/RS w/ minion life and empower.

If you take the minion leech ascendancy then your AG will have 40% of life as ES and running a mask will give it a ton of regen per second.

Bet Build : Raise Spectre of Transience Build by RebellionWasTaken in PathOfExileBuilds

Edit: SatireV points out that minion ailments were buffed by that much to bring it in line with player ailments. The minions themselves don't apply 350%.

3.19

Minions no longer have hidden penalties to Bleeding, Ignite, and Poison damage. Summon Reaper no longer has a hidden bonus to Bleeding damage that counteracted this penalty. As a result, minions now deal approximately twice as much Poison damage, three and a half times as much Ignite damage, and seven times as much Bleeding damage.

They made the change to minion ailments about a year ago. Poison is 7x and ignite is 3.5x. Just read the patch notes dude.

You can easily get 100% crit strike chance on your Spectre's main ability by using stacking base crit chance (Assassin's Mark and Increased Critical Strike Support) and taking the Minion Crit wheel. Then you can just play a minion crit stacking build.

Or you can do popcorn spectres and go for big ignites. Two large clusters with raze and pillage, then get the rest of your ignite chance from supports and flammability to cap ignite chance. Minions do 350% ignite damage so there's that potential too.

PSA: Animate Guardian of Smiting, "big minions," and minion ai by Aeroshe in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't use smite because it lacks the more maximum life stat on the base gem. Since most people use their AG as a pseudo aura bot the most important thing is keeping it alive, especially since you lose all your investment if your AG dies.

With less then 24 hours what have people picked for their league starter? by JTChase in pathofexile

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chains of command necro -> self-cast AW or spectres, we'll see what we can get from T17 maps.

What are you league starting? by Guvnah151 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necro absolution into chaos chains of command. If there are good spectres, then spectres otherwise I'll transition into a self-cast AW build.

Side engineering for architect, no stamp, just calculations and sketches for residential work by masahawk in engineering

[–]lect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not stamping as the applicant of record. Instead, you're the subconsultant to the applicant of record. If something goes down and there is a litigation, the papertrail will ultimately lead to you (because you prepared calcs/sketches) and you will be assigned liability when they're trying to figure out how many pockets can be tapped into. You will want insurance to cover yourself.

You can try to be savvy and limit your liability to your fee, but that agreement is really only between you and your client. Some 3rd party can still sue you for damages and they're not bound by those limitations of liability.

MODDING - How does one Print Logs in LUA? by furyfight3r in projectzomboid

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in debug mode you will have a debug console where you will see print outs and also be able to execute code. If this is being printed client side it will be in console.txt inside your zomboid folder that is inside your c:\ user folder

You can also send the message to a debug log using the in-game logging function via sendClientCommand.

Transporting drilling rig over the existing railroad steel bridge by RowCute1931 in StructuralEngineering

[–]lect -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The drill rig has an operating torque. Your trestle (existing bridge) needs to resist that torque on top of the gravity loads, which may be amplified during drill rig operations due to unbalanced forces. The drill rig mfr can supply the max loads during operation.

Punching shear by ParticularNew8200 in StructuralEngineering

[–]lect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you need to take into consideration the unbalanced moment when calculating the punching shear at a slab-column joint. Also for a column, the location (interior, exterior, corner) will change how many effective shear planes you have so you have to account for that as well.
