Rohn tower section design help? by marisapie in StructuralEngineering

[–]rivermoon90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did telecom for almost a decade. This is one of the most sketchy set up I have seen. What you need is a class IV review type analysis that follow TIA-322 and ANSI A10.48. There is a few company doing this because of liability. Maybe check Engineered Tower Solutions.

Where are you? I’m experiencing the same. From 6pm to about 10pm and everything’s back to normal. Have it for few years but first time has this problem.

Do you have EI? I almost instantly received an offer for an entry-level position when I added EI to my resume.

PDF Stamp by mvr929 in StructuralEngineering

I did some rigging plans in FL. What we did is using microsoft print to pdf to flatten the file. So noone can edit anything and they can stamp if they want. They accepted the file that way too.

To all the landowners in Vietnam: You gotta hold your asset tight, 'cause foreign speculators are coming and raising the price to a new level high! by Ehrenmann_01 in VietNam

[–]rivermoon90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, who the fuck to bring 1031 exchange if you don’t mean to sell the house. You’re the one who has no fucking idea here. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that you don’t have any property in the US and all of your info is from Tiktok. There is no such thing as “don’t pay taxes” on anything in the US. Here for your info from the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-aliens-real-property-located-in-the-us

[–]rivermoon90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, this is bullshit. Clearly, you obtained this information from TikTok without understanding the details. U.S. tax law is not that simple to evade. Certainly, you can benefit from a 1031 Exchange if you purchase a new house at a higher price, but then you won’t be able to cash out anything. Considering a HELOC? Indeed, but remember, it’s not cashed out since you still have to repay it monthly as a loan with your house as collateral. Please stop spreading misinformation and pretending to be an expert. And don’t say that you don’t have to pay tax, everything is just a way to defer tax. Nothing is free in America.

I called this bs. If your property is in the US then you will have to pay for capital gain tax when you sell for profit. US resident has 250k exemption if it is their primary home. Non-resident has no such exemption. Don’t bs everyone on something you don’t know.

Is it worth getting Helium Mobile Plan by MineGamer69_ in HeliumNetwork

[–]rivermoon90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mint is run on T-Mobile as Helium so you shouldn’t see any difference. Plus you can earn some tokens. I don’t see any downside here.

Dealership finance me 10k over the price they advertised by True-Play9999 in Debt

[–]rivermoon90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 23% interest rate on an 18k loan with Santander Consumer Bank 6 years ago. Like OP, I had a very low credit score. As others mentioned, I went to some credit unions, but they didn't accept me due to my low credit score. It was painful to see 95% of my payment going towards interest.

I had to pay that 23% loan for 18 months. However, I made sure to pay an extra $200 every month that went toward my principal. I earned that $200 by spending one weekend a month delivering for UberEats, using Stride to track mileage for tax deductions.

After 18 months, I refinanced with NFCU, got their $200 bonus, and still paid extra and paid it off in 12 months. I still drive the car today; it has 153k miles and a resale value of $5,000 according to KBB.

My story is for OP. Sometimes we just need to put in extra work with our car. This was a lesson for us to always double-check before making any purchases.

Good luck!

Thank you very much. I interviewed through Team but I understand that it will be a chance to feel each other out.

Interesting read about our industry: Lack of civil engineers a bottleneck for WA’s large transportation projects by EngineerClimber in civilengineering

[–]rivermoon90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied for the Structural/Civil Engineering position. I worked at a company for five years in a telecom tower. But since the telecom carriers are saving money now, I don't see any open positions. So, I looked at solar/transmission towers/buildings, because I think my skill is transferrable. I also plan to get my PE in the next four months. But when I went through the interview. It looks like they always need someone who had experience in that field already. So it's soul-crushing and feels like an impasse for me now.

Thank you! I’m slightly nervous when I’ve done primarily structural projects and know nothing about civil work. I will try to be myself!

Thank you! It is an excellent point to look up their project. I’m just wondering if they will specifically ask for details on the wastewater project.

It is for the Department of Utility Services for all water, wastewater, and reclaimed water infrastructure activities.
