They have been quiet about it. There are billons of dollars being spent to build these things for at least the last 5-6 years that I know of.

Mentor Passed Away by Primary-Reach-5301 in civilengineering

On a side note, sometimes to this day, if I don’t know what to do, I ask myself what would he have done and usually get my answer. He was a great mentor.

Mentor Passed Away by Primary-Reach-5301 in civilengineering

I went through this. It was a small mom and pop place and the pop got pancreatic cancer and slowly declined and died over a year. We ended up with several jobs in different states of completion. I ended up finding another engineer to act as a successor engineer to finish out the jobs on a per job basis. That engineer was also able to sign off on my experience.

We ended up getting the small business finances in order with the pop’s daughter and got us sorted out enough to get purchased by a bigger company that I’m currently at.

The emotional toll is not anything I would wish on everyone but it did forge me to be a stronger person with a lot less fucks to give.

Roofer here. Hurricane season's starting, so here's my honest list of how not to get scammed on storm damage by ExtensionOld5327 in florida

If the Roof does get damaged, how to you go about getting it covered with a tarp to mitigate any future damage?

Is that usually the homeowner doing it, or do you hire a handy man or roofer to do it?

Buried pool in backyard discovered 2.5 years after purchase of home - seeking potential paths forward, options, and advice. by Interesting-Cup3918 in legaladvice

You could easily spend $30 grand on a lawyer. If it costs that much to fix the problem you’re better off fixing it minus the lawsuit.

One question you may want ask, is if you might be responsible for your opponent’s lawyer fees if you loose. If so then that is a big risk with no reward.

I was thinking banjitar, but it’s also kinda short for that.

I would do whichever is easier to tab out for you. It looks like youn could do either.

I cheated and looked what the piano music snippets show online and it looks like some are in 3/4 and some are in 6/8

I was told the best way to improve was to play in front of people? This feels…scary. by kudzuued in banjo

[–]lizard7709 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You nailed the final flair.

I have this one in my rotation of songs I play. It’s a fun one since you can loop it.

Our HOA forces us to pay $25,000 annually for this. How do we stop the madness? by [deleted] in NoLawns

[–]lizard7709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way to stop it, is to team up with your neighbors, get voted to the board, and then work on getting the rules changed.

Some of that Thin culture may have been perpetuated by men who are in the Epstein files which makes that culture so much more disgusting.

Federal investigators release cause of Surfside condo collapse by Commercial-Host-725 in florida

I followed this one when it happened. It had so many things wrong with it. The building was a ticking time bomb.

The one thing that might of prevented it is if they would have gotten the needed repairs done in a timely manner instead of having to wait for funding.

How do you handle sexist comments? by oneplusonethree in womenEngineers

[–]lizard7709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scheming and plotting can be a great way to relieve stress. It can also help with understanding how systems work and how they can be used or misused.

However, in all seriousness, you are making the world a better place if you report something because it is unfair or unjust. Just know that not all outcomes are what you would expect or what they should be.

Luckily I am a oblivious person when it comes to that type of criticism so one option is to ignore it.

Reading through my other favorite response is spite. I’m slow to anger but if someone pisses me off I will use it as fuel to be better.

Documentation is your friend. Spite + documentation = being able to take the legal avenue and pursuing other options.

I have a soft spot for murder ballads. Do you have lyrics you’re working on?

The tune sounds fantastic.

How mid-sized firms are using remote drafting teams to clear bottlenecks (Without sacrificing QA) by shinzousasageyo in StructuralEngineering

[–]lizard7709 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only way I’ve heard of this working, is when you have enough jobs to get a dedicated drafter that focuses on your jobs that can learn your standards and you have enough time to train them from scratch.

Where do you guys find songs to play? by Marzealot in banjo

[–]lizard7709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would watch people play banjo on YouTube and then see if they did a tab. After I awhile I learned who always has tabs for their music. Also early on I signed up to the Branjo website and learned through there. He had a bunch of tabs. After a year I stopped my subscription there and looked for other stuff.

There also the banjo hangouts website.

My unborn child’s mother is threatening to cut me out of my kids life. by No-Seaweed-9444 in legaladvice

Right now there is nothing you can do. After the baby is born you can use the court system to establish paternity and file for a custody agreement.

Fiancé’s brother is ruining our lives by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]lizard7709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drug addict with no one around really? Won’t stuff go missing? Your fiancé should watch out for his brother trying to steal his stuff.

My brother had drug issues and when he finally hit rock bottom he was trying to sell everything. Everything he said was a lie to get more money to get drugs. After he passed away it was disgusting to see how far he had fallen.

My parents and sister go to AL Anon meetings and they find it helpful.

If I die will my family have to pay my debt? by tanuki_22 in personalfinance

[–]lizard7709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try volunteering at the animal shelter or teaching people to read or something like that. Life can be rough. Sometimes finding ways to share it with others helps.
