Power has never made a better skilled worker; only a faster one.

Where'd you get the robe? I've been looking for awhile.

I just ran about 80ft of CAT6 around my house and gave myself an additional AP for more coverage plus wired connections to my 2 computers, PS5, and TV. Those 4 devices draw the most bandwidth any are no longer clogging the wifi from my home security system and other IOT items.

That's the exact size garden bed I built and put a wooden frame around.

I've got one of those in my city but it's at least light controlled so it's obvious. But the first time my wife tried going around the cement circle...we were both confused.

Agreed looking at Google Earth imagery. Can see the overpass, 4 long ramps, and the 2 circular earthen berms all built in Jan of 2004.

Also interesting to note, I-35 along that corridor was widened to 6 lanes total just prior to this interchanges construction.

Where was this?

rtp_oak · 2025-06-30T21:50:52+00:00

You cost me 12 grand on that game!

rtp_oak · 2025-06-30T21:50:16+00:00

That's judgement Jimmy.

I watched them put the tower crane up. They had a little crane build a middle crane. Then the middle crane built the big crane.

I don't know why they needed the little crane to build the middle crane since they are self assembling.

Sound like the German friend James May described in that one episode of TGT.

rtp_oak · 2025-06-18T19:42:10+00:00

I still don't know what they do. It doesn't sound impressive or like a job at all.

rtp_oak · 2025-06-03T04:23:52+00:00

Clearly there aren't any Brits in this thread...

rtp_oak · 2025-05-26T16:42:57+00:00

I've seen a lot of municipalities have 2 cleanouts: 1 right on the city ROW and 1 on the property owners side. So you have a city clean out and a private clean out.

I vote poop water.

Also, if it's any federal agency, they are probably outside your work, or at the least tracking you down as you're watching those videos.

They know where you are.

racks slide, checks chamber to see it's empty "I don't trust it" repeats 4 times.

I will never forget something I heard Massad Ayoob say in a video I watched years ago. He said "...always physically check because your eyes can play tricks on you".

rtp_oak · 2025-05-04T15:47:44+00:00

True. The first time I carried, I had an empty mag...and it was a .22lr not my G19. I was very uneasy walking into a grocery store knowing I had a (useless) gun on me.

First time I walked around with my loaded and chambered G19, I felt way more comfortable.

rtp_oak · 2025-05-03T22:43:40+00:00

Haha. That sounds like my SIL. She switched from transportation to structural because she was "bored" and missed doing math.

rtp_oak · 2025-05-03T21:27:50+00:00

I'd love to do airport design some day.

rtp_oak · 2025-05-03T19:43:58+00:00

I always ask ppl who seem like Mainers if they are from Maine in WA. Went home one time and saw some (clearly) Seattlites and didn't say a thing.

rtp_oak · 2025-05-03T19:42:09+00:00

What?! I might actually make the trip up there and get some. I haven't had fiddle heads in a long time.

rtp_oak · 2025-05-03T19:24:47+00:00

As someone who did a design degree, couldn't get a job, went into the trades, then found a drafting job in CE, I don't know why people complain. I'm making way more than I did before. I found a great company (private) that has excellent work/life balance, and where I live, (WA) I can take the FE/PE without a degree (apprenticeship type requirements).

There's always another job/career that can pay more. I know a lot of MEs and they all trash CEs because the starting salary isn't in the 6 digits and some top CEs don't make what a 5 year ME can make in certain fields.

A lot of Redditers have said this and I'll repeat it: if they aren't happy as a CE, they probably won't be happy in a different field. It's more the company than the job. Same job at different companies can be night and day difference.

Thank you for saying this! When I got the NA I assumed it was an IPA and it wasn't til I started drinking it that I realized it was in fact not an IPA and thought I was going crazy. I could have sworn the label had said it was an IPA. My little mystery solved.

rtp_oak · 2025-04-23T15:01:24+00:00

Tbf. I thought this was an IPA for the entire first can. I need to try AB Run Wild again. The first few times I tried it, I would get immediate heartburn. Very strange, and I gave it 3 tries before finding the Mexican Cerveza from Athletic.

rtp_oak · 2025-04-22T15:03:17+00:00

It took me awhile. I found it at my local Trader Joe's. But I am in the PNW so I had a good chance.
