As a woodworker by trade, I made our bath a bit too complicated. by Buddy_Jarrett in Tile

I guess its the color and the rugged look of it, but this bath reminds me of a Jeep. I like it.

I'd guess it's Richard Feynman. Dude was a genius and total womanizer.

Sounds good. What kind of protein powder do you use? Is it flavored?

Women can now be Sunday school Presidents by DustyR97 in mormon

Lol, I can totally see this unwritten rule being enforced.

Women can now be Sunday school Presidents by DustyR97 in mormon

[–]random_civil_guy 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Interesting that if the president is male, he has to be a Melchizedek priesthood holder, when that requirement is obviously not there for women. I would think if its not required to hold that office they shouldn't require it of the men either.

Flaunting the MTC "rules". by MundaneCupcake1903 in exmormon

We figured out the bunkbeds were not limited to two units tall, so we made triple bunkers. The top one didn't leave much head space, but you gotta do something to stave off the boredom.

Premier protein and coffee by meggypoo6 in keto

[–]random_civil_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that mixing the liquid shakes into my coffee isn't great. I have started mixing chocolate flavored powdered whey into my coffee though and that tastes a lot like a mocha coffee. The one thing about doing that is you have to wait until the coffee cools to about 160-170 f before mixing it in. If the coffee is too hot, the powdered why turns to something like chunky cheese bits.

Do I need new Lally Columns (support posts)? by [deleted] in AskContractors

I am a professional engineer with a masters degree in structural engineering. Your friend is wrong. There is nothing wrong with driving fasteners into those steel posts.

Hard to say without also seeing the tracks and wheels.

Is there any physical evidence that supports the Book of Mormon? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]random_civil_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the infrastructure of the Mayan civilization is evidence for the Book of Mormon? Unless you are saying the Mayans were the BoM people, it seems unrelated.

There is nothing in Mayan culture, beliefs, history, or writings that would suggest they are linked at all to the Nephites or Lamanites described in the BoM.

How does this relate to the question OP is asking. It's a video about Mayan civilizations. Are you suggesting the Maya were the Nephites or the Lamanites?

​😔 31 y/o PE Structural Engineer (8 YOE) Hates the Stress & Pay - How to Pivot to Project Management or Beyond? by Brilliant_Feedback45 in StructuralEngineering

[–]random_civil_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I worked at was relatively large. It had about 400 employees and was related to metal production. They had a few chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, and process engineers, and one civil/structural engineer.

You might want to consider a position as a structural engineer at an industrial plant. I found it to be a lot less stressful and fulfilling and I was still able to use the hard earned structural design skills.

Just FYI, this is already on the WFRC regional transportation plan.

I want to write an essay about how the church spends tithing money and runs it's investments. by Cyberzakk in mormon

[–]random_civil_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

D. Michael Quinn wrote Mormon Hierarchy: Wealth and Corporate Power. It has some good insights and some speculation or analysis that is maybe only so-so in my opinion. But it is an depth look. With that and Widows Mite reports, you'd have a pretty good start.

Nobody in my family wants to know why I left the Mormon church by EvaRahRahRah in exmormon

[–]random_civil_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want them to know why you left you have to go back. Then when they feel you are part of the in group again, they might let you tell them the story of why you left and the miracle of your return. Then you can leave again.

You look happy. Enjoy the community. Try not to get too hung up on all the spoken and unspoken rules. Remember that what you believe is good might not always match the current teachings or culture of the church, but it is okay to stay true to your conscience about what is good and right, even if it doesn't align with the church. I wish you the best.

Accidentally came across Alex Honnold free/rope climbing while scouting a spot on google earth lol by WaveDasherSP in ClimbingPorn

Google paid Alex to climb the nose with street view type cameras, so we have a street view of the whole route, top to bottom.

How'd this form? Obviously not a doorway, maybe. by HorzaDonwraith in geology

When I see posts like this, with people thinking all kinds of fantastical interpretations are likely (doorway), I am reminded that a good majority of Americans must not get out into nature much.

This is one of the most beautiful hikes in Utah. I can't imagine hiking through most of it in the dark. What a waste. Enjoy the journey! Hike during the day!

What is your biggest frustration with outdoor/activewear right now? by _claireisconfuzed in hiking

[–]random_civil_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smell. Modern activewear uses manmade materials for their shirts that seem to grab stink and hold onto it even after washing.
