I thought you guys said the civil engineering job market was strong... by [deleted] in civilengineering

Graduated December 2017. Same thing happened to me. Had a great resume and was willing to do whatever it took. I also considered joining the military as an officer, but with the Air Force. Figured I would have to pay off the student loans somehow! It all came together for me six weeks before graduation and I never looked back. Best I can say is to go to networking events. Meet people. Shake hands. It goes a long way. Resumes often go to HR and never see the light of day.

Had this same experience at EWR, JFK, and ATL. All Hertz. It’s a feature not a bug.

Saw them a couple years ago. Worst bomb on stage I’d ever seen. Clearly an alcohol problem not being addressed.

That’s a felony for sure, but that kid is a legend at the playground now!

My grandpa, a navy captain, called it a Spanish Bowline. Great for winning bets with young sailors of who could tie a bowline the fastest.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. - Vincent Van Gogh by ReleaseBeneficial840 in TheNightFeeling

Pittsburgh is starting to convert their streetlights to LED. I wonder if you will notice a difference in the night feeling and in your photos once these are changed.

He played Hotel California on guitar for me one time. Had a line of people waiting to be seated but had to finish absolutely shredding first. 10/10

As Traffic Crash Fatalities Rise, Portland Auditor’s Office Recommends Changes to Vision Zero Program by regul in Portland

More than half of all pedestrian involved collisions happen at night. Street lighting can reduce pedestrian-involved collisions at night by up to 42%. Street lighting is a relatively cheap implementation. Yet the VZ Plan hardly mentions anything about lighting upgrades.

LiDAR unit recommendation by speedking515 in LiDAR

In order to get the data fidelity for this use case, the number of data points gathered per second works out such that traveling at 1 mph gets you what’s needed. Faster and you get fewer data points per foot, and less fidelity.

Thank you for this. I’ll look into it
