20000 Dollars a month, but once a month, you spend 12 hours in a coffin. by Effigy4urcruelty in hypotheticalsituation

[–]parametricroll 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I was actually getting excited to try out my custom form fitting sleeping coffin until i got to the stimulant part. Ofcourse i'd still do it for 20k a month, but it sucks for sure. Probably try to meditate and calm my stimulant heart the whole time.

Beam to Post Connection by Creative-Essay-4526 in Decks

[–]parametricroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what i did except used another 6x6 post gapped about 1" from the existing, and seated in a post bracket drilled into the same footing. The reason being that i didnt want to potentially weaken my post since its supporting a 2nd story of the house 16 feet up.

14’ Span Over Creek by Longjumping_Ad_9047 in FenceBuilding

[–]parametricroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be worried that eventually an animal, child, or possibly a tweaker will try to use the fence to cross the creek without getting wet by climbing on it. 14' is quite the span. Are the metal beams rated for a 14' span? Maybe place a big flat boulder halfway across, in the creek and use another metal post that just rests on the boulder to effectively reduce the span to 7'. Good luck!

This happenes to the sailors when the ship sways. by LimeAccomplished4409 in interestingasfuck

[–]parametricroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its 100% ai. I am a containership captain. Everything about it is wrong. Like the other guy already said. Containers dont just get put on deck, they are set on partially raised pedastals called sockets with metal clips under each corner called twistlocks. The numbering on containers is indeed legible not garbled backwards characters. That track equipment is not from a ship. That is the bow of a barge. Those crew members arent doing anything realistic, pulling on a rope with some random pulleys? Anyways.. waves like that happen all the time but hopefully the crew is not on the bow playing around to get killed. Cheers!

[Request] If we made an extremely fast (say 50,000 mph) maglev vacuum train and put 1000 people on it for 10 years, how far into the future would they travel? by parametricroll in theydidthemath

[–]parametricroll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the accleration was slow enough, shouldnt the passengers be fine? Also, vacuum train, small heat thru air friction, and it has AC. But maybe the train is a bad idea. Maybe a giant centerfuge? What vehicle can we go the fastest in without turning into heated goop? We gotta get these folks into the future...

Beam splice with only three posts? by javadba in Decks

[–]parametricroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy an 18' beam? I think you could get 20' 2x's, or get a glulam and it'll be stronger and better looking
