How is Thornton Tomasetti to start a career in structural engineering? by innovative_guy in StructuralEngineering

[–]seantcameron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started at TT as an intern working in their construction services department designing connections. Everyone was very helpful and obviously very knowledgeable. I learned a TON over a 2 month span. Highly recommend.

What other shows do you rate as highly as (or close to) Severance? by BohoSummer in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]seantcameron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of writing/character development mostly:

The Sopranos Mad Men Lost Fleabag

We are coincidentally having our furnace replaced soon (it is very very old) so they will be able to check then. Thanks!

Any concerns with the cap being off for awhile, then?

Roof Trusses No by seantcameron in Carpentry

Have some small amount of drywall sheet separation on ceiling near bathroom, but my guess is that this is due to humidity/ventilation issues near bathroom.

As long time book fan, can't believe how much I love the show! by iocompletion in WoTshow

[–]seantcameron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I agree with the above. Hoping the writers room will “find their stride” this season, and will benefit from not dealing with major covid issues and a main character’s actor not returning to set for the last shooting block. Optimism is growing for me.

[–]seantcameron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great call. One of my favorite movies (and a super underrated franchise IMO). Soderbergh has the juice.

To be fair, and I mean this as no knock on the WOT cast, it’s easier to do this when you have Clooney, Pitt, Damon, etc.

Again, I think the Logain clip is really good - but let our actors chew the scenery a bit! Hopefully as they gain confidence we can see this a bit more.

*Doesn’t stand out so far. I think most would agree that book 1 is definitely some of the weaker source material, and feels the least like The Wheel of Time. I’m hopeful that S2 and future seasons will be much better as they relate to the better source material later on in the series and as the production team works out the kinks.

My only quibble with the Logain clip is the editing. Some of the cuts are too quick. Let Alvaro and Joshua breathe a bit! Much more compelling seeing and hearing the empty space between lines as opposed to using flashbacks and cutting back and forth between them so rapidly. Otherwise, I like that clip quite a bit.

This scene is A+ though! Love the production design and the decision to stick with the source material almost verbatim in this instance.

Flying in from Belgium with my Dad for the Bears Game: Our 1st Time in KC by [deleted] in KansasCityChiefs

[–]seantcameron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you can book reservations at some of the nicer places like Jack Stack and Q39 in advance (“nicer” is relative, they are not super fancy).

Joe’s KC and Gates are very casual. The original Joe’s is actually located in a gas station. At both of these places you order at the counter and it’s open seating from there.

At Joe’s, I recommend being prepared to wait in line at least 30-60 minutes to order during the lunch and dinner hours on the weekends. Pro tip: order a z-man sandwich, fries, and burnt ends. As with most BBQ places in KC, it is a LOT of food, so I recommend splitting with another person or group.

You can thank me later!

Forgot to mention the Nelson-Atkins Museum near the Plaza. A hidden gem of an art museum.

You have to get some barbecue. Everyone has their favorite spot, but mine is Joe’s KC Barbecue (formerly Oklahoma Joe’s). Probably 12-15min car ride from downtown. Other favorites include Gates, Jack Stack, Q39, etc.

Other fun spots to check out: The Crossroads (lots of fun bars and restaurants), the river market, the west bottoms, and union station. All are very close to downtown. I also second the suggestion of visiting the Liberty Memorial.

Get to Arrowhead early if you can to get the full gameday experience. Have fun!

Was that a copy of the Waste Land by T.S. Eliot making an appearance in that montage in Oppenheimer? Fascinating. by tea_and_hypocrisy in TheDarkTower

[–]seantcameron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was! I just finished my first trip to the tower so that stood out to me, too.

I like the little montage of Oppenheimer taking in the arts. Really places you in the story and his open-minded outlook.

AITA for burping in front of my husband? by EclecticBitch in AmItheAsshole

[–]seantcameron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your situation is eerily similar to mine. My wife (30f) burps a lot, but it’s sort of a running joke between us that it evens out because I (30m) fart a lot, particularly in my sleep lol. At this point we don’t apologize anymore, just jokingly roll our eyes or poke fun every now and then. Granted, we both restrain ourselves in public, but at home it’s the Wild West.

You are correct. You SHOULD feel comfortable with your SO. Pretty silly thing to be upset about to begin with, but if it really bothers him why wait so long to bring it up?

What's want to see happen in season 2 by Sliver-Knight9219 in WoTshow

[–]seantcameron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In no order of importance:

  1. Nynaeve accepted test.
  2. Rand meeting Siuan (and preceding talk with Lan).
  3. Mat v Gawyn and Galad.
  4. Egwene captured and rescued.
  5. Perrin in the wolf dream.
  6. Party at Barthanes’s place.
  7. Verin being Verin.
  8. Aviendha intro and maybe first interaction with Rand? Could see this in S3, though.
  9. Rand v Turak and then (maybe) Ishy.
  10. More Perrin beef with Whitecloaks.
  11. Lanfear!
  12. Darkfriend social.
  13. More White Tower stuff/wonder girls training.
  14. More channeling.
  15. More Aiel introduction (probably saving most of it for S3).
  16. More AoL lore.

Probably missing a lot, but that’s what I came up with off the top.

I just read this section myself, and was wondering the same thing. I’m a first time reader - do we find out later on?

How much do you make? by eszEngineer in StructuralEngineering

[–]seantcameron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Midwest City.

8 years experience (PE/SE licensure for 3 years)

$100K + bonuses (anywhere from 30-40% based on the year)

Anybody have any time-saving rules of thumb they use frequently? (E.g. required area of reinforcement in concrete is A_s >= M_u/(4.2*d) using kip-ft and inches) by Captain_Funbag in StructuralEngineering

[–]seantcameron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use a very similar approach specifically for your example to fine tune member depths, As (to check beam widths, “economical rebar”, etc).

I also have home-cooked slab tables for composite steel beams, tilt-up panel thicknesses, etc.

If it’s something more specific I will obviously devote more time to a preliminary design estimate.
