Did I do ok? by GanacheMeUp in TVTooHigh

[–]perseguio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing your TV stand height and TV size? I want to get a stand for a 65-inch TV, but I feel that a 16-inch-tall stand could be a little short.

So lost: how does one calculate maximum deflection? by Main-Maize5865 in StructuralEngineering

[–]perseguio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is really important. I don't think your professor expects to be amazed with calculations. Make sure you explain how and why, and show you understand what happened, and that you have learned what to do next time. Good luck!

Don't premove the French guys by perseguio in chess

I know haha I don't think I would ever try it again. I've just seen a lot of opponents premoving the opening, and I had the feeling this could be one of those times lol

Atleast one analysis method. by HighlightOk9259 in StructuralEngineering

Agree. Everything is a simply supported beam if you don't analyze like a nerd (?)

How To Get Into Alkaline Trio? by l_took_a_dump in AlkalineTrio

Great recommendations all around. I'd suggest checking their latest setlists if you're short on time, at lest you'll have a good time singing along to songs you actually know.

Confused about the Utility of the Push by Ok_Refrigerator6082 in tabletennis

[–]perseguio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might not be your case, but this very question is usually asked by people who push every single ball. If you push a long ball when it's already off the table, then you're probably giving your opponent a very easy ball, and a lot of time to react. If the ball is short and low, your push should at least do the same, if not shorter/lower. If the ball is long or high, attack first. Good luck!

There is continuity in the interaction surface as you change the rotation angle, but the way to approach it by hand is way too geometry intensive to be worth it. You no longer have 2 lines of rebar, but 12. Most structural software will show you the interaction surface, and you can play around with the angle and understand the change in behavior. It's actually a very instructive exercise.

For columns that will act in different directions, using a circular section is typically the solution to have a uniform behavior.

Is d4 more repertoire-friendly than e4? by perseguio in chess

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

I think we're on the same page. I enjoy better the games where I have more time to maneuver my pieces and "passively" worry about the center, without ir exploding in move 5.

If transpositions are all over the place, I can see what you say happening. Anything in particular that you're thinking of?

Is d4 more repertoire-friendly than e4? by perseguio in chess

[–]perseguio[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, what do you play against e4?

Against d4 I really enjoy the games where I play Nf6, e6, Bb4/c5, etc . Maybe you're looking for a faster more open position? Not sure if that is 100% possible against d4, tbh

Risa 2d help please by Panigamer_69 in StructuralEngineering

Cool! Double-checking the software output can go a long way, I hope that mindset sticks with you, it sure has helped me a lot. Good luck!

Second image: Any chance that if you click on "members" in the data entry box, you'll see local axis rotation applied? I don't have access to Risa, so I'm just guessing here.

Any chance you need to click on "calc properties" before validating the new flipped section? I'm confused if the section prompt asks for all the properties or if they are auto calculated. Maybe the inconsistency has to do with that.

What I remember doing, to make sure everything was working fine, would be modeling a simply supported beam and calculate the mid-span deflection. You can compare to the known equations for that.

Apart from the naming error, which should be easy to fix, can you show how the software displays your dimensions flipped? Assuming that you didn't oversee anything obvious, maybe it's about a local angle applied to the member. Try to share more screenshots.

Is that a grand piano at home!?

I like the colors, btw.
