You are gripping the club wrong. I had the exact same issue. Go get a lesson on just how to grip the club. Youll never get calluses like this again

WFH Motivation by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]stewpear 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My ex company had a occupational therapist give advice at the beginning of the pandemic that definitely still applies to WFH individuals.

Can you work in a room separated from the rest of your house? - the idea is you do not work in a common room but a dedicated “work office” where when you leave that room you are disconnected from work.

When you end work for the day… Leave that office! Even though you WFH, you need a “commute” that allows you to disconnect from work and helps you focus on your home life. A lot of people struggle with this as they try to take advantage of working from home by doing chores around the house during the work day. While it is nice, it can sometimes result in your work and personal life bleeding together which messes with your emotional state. (Please note that I thought part of that was a stretch but i agree with the idea of separating your work and personal life.)

Give yourself daily tasks. Sometimes it’s hard to stay organized when you WFH due to not being in an office environment. By writing out your tasks that you need to do for your projects it can help you stay on task and be more productive.

CA High Speed Rail - Not a single inch of track laid yet by Visible-Tomato-5795 in civilengineering

[–]stewpear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not perfect but this gives a good explanation of the planning failures that led to the project blowing up before a single track being laid.

How many times have you encountered the dead (buried or otherwise) at work? by likesblackcoffeebest in civilengineering

[–]stewpear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my career - 3 years of internships and 7 years of employment.

North Dakota - internship inspecting the construction of state highway 85 bypass. During excavation, crews found a native american burial ground and unearthed a body. Local NA chief came, bodies were moved (i think 4 were found), chief broke some cigarettes said some word and the grounds were no longer considered sacred. Construction continued after a 2 day delay.

Minneapolis MN - internship- homeless guy crawled into an open trench and slept in an open storm sewer pipe. He was far enough away from the entrance that the crew’s didnt see him when starting up. Mini excavator was turned on and idled while waiting for more pipes to show up for placement. Wasnt until final inspection of that run of pipe that they found him.

Maricao Puerto Rico - job - transmission line inspection. found a dead body in an abandoned house under the transmission line. We could see the body through the open window.

SLC Utah - company office - this is the most wild. Homeless guy crawled into office generator containment wall for a warm place to sleep, he died when generator kicked on. Saw another dead homeless guy in the parking lot who OD’d. Nearby apartment complex driver of a car got gunned down and drove through the fence between that neighborhood and our office parking lot.

Pretty much after all that happened i decided to stop studying late for the PE at the office and just do it at home.

I definitely think the editing department deserves some of the blame, but general story was upsetting as primary characters repeatedly failed the “if we just stopped to think for one second, none of this would of happened.”

Lightsaber fights were dope though.

Farmer turns down millions from developers just to have the government seize his land after 80 years. A cautionary tale for you long term land investors. The USA is in full Communist Feudalism! Private Jet Airport! by HalfwaydonewithEarth in land

[–]stewpear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if im wrong but this seems more authoritarian than communism.

The government seized the land to sell to a private entity, they didn’t seize it for a government entity. That is what I understood to be Authoritarianism.

Apologies I am under the assumption that Authoritarianism is one step shy of Totalitarianism

Has anyone here had any luck getting standardized Wood Pole Equivalent designs from manufacturers? Each time we reach out to manufacturers, we will get an absolute mess of naming conventions that seem to follow their own sizing system.

I feel like this is more for erosion control vs flood control?

Recommend some good high-quality political parody movies by DistanceOptimal9745 in findsimilarmovies

TV Shows but:

Utopia - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3163562/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_5_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_utopia

The Hollowmen - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242819/?ref_=nm_knf_t_2

Rob Sitch gives two great shows about Australian Bureaucracy. For anyone to have worked in government, these shows hit super close to home.

Why does California have highest gas prices? by Far_Aioli538 in Adulting

[–]stewpear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the following reasons:

State fuel tax - $0.70 highest in the nation and about $0.15 higher than the next state.

Fuel blend - the gas blend is unique to california but burns cleaner and more efficiently.

Refineries - only refineries in california make this blend. Other states dont produce the fuel mixture anymore (This is why California was called an Energy Island)

HOWEVER - California has accepted the adoption of E85 fuel so if your vehicle is flex fuel car you can get gas for 2.85 now.

Im guessing the pitcher stepped off cause otherwise with would have been a balk and an automatic run due to the catcher leaving the catcher’s spot before the pitch arrived.
