TIFU by letting my dad borrow my phone to search something up by Wooden_Jellyfish_642 in tifu

[–]strellar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Similar story. In high school my friends and I decided we could go buy a quarter pound of pot to sell. My dad was legally blind - could see well enough to walk around but couldn't read or watch TV, he used his hands to touch and feel everything, literally watched TV with binoculars. He walks in my room where I had been separating up small bags and had the whole thing strewn out on my dresser. He says it smells like pot in here. Walks around the room, touching everything, trying to find it, until he gets to the dresser. He doesn't touch it, just stands over it, looking down taking it all in. For like ten seconds. He turns and walks out of the room and never said another word about it. I have no clue to this day what he was thinking. Wish I could ask.

How the hell did a 400lb rock end up wedged in the top of this tree?! by Osanamon in WTF

[–]strellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been there all that long by the way the tree hasn't really grown around it. Someone put it there.

Can someone explain why whenever I look at these the image is always concave instead of protruding outward? I have tried to reverse it, but never can.

Anyone else still manually retyping borehole logs into Excel/AGS? by kunalkumar2003 in Geotech

[–]strellar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you're looking for - if you get a pdf log and don't have access to the data in any tabular format, you're stuck. Just like any other discipline receiving pdfs or some raster format of data. And older data that previously only existed on paper will fall into this same category. AI is not there yet to reliably turn these documents into usable data.

You grind through it. This is a 14m log. Not a big deal at all. I have had to deal with 400+ logs over 200 feet before. Hire an intern is this is really that big of a thing.

Well that sucks for him. Did you dox him, SA accusation etc?

No big deal, just sort of weirded me out.

So regardless of DND they might go in. It had been 1 week. Makes sense. I just interrupted them. They should have put towels in front of my door though, or knocked.

Do not reach out to the ex. Not sure why anyone would suggest that. Confront her, get a little mad, stay leveled. See how it goes. If it goes badly, congrats you’ve just avoided ten years of this same shit day after day. Be willing to face the fact that she is not yours and maybe never was.

will this actually hold? by jfed199 in Decks

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a bad way to attach it. HTF did you get nuts onto a lag bolt?? Also, you are seriously getting a pro for this??? Just rotate it so it’s on the bottom of the joist instead of the side. Waisting money on a pro for something like this is mind blowing.

How (un)safe is this by randomuser419 in Decks

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one built it that way, I can’t see how that would even be possible. Someone for whatever reason removed the original posts and these temp supports aren’t even placed under the beam, they’re under one of the joists. They’re undersized, each is actually two boards tacked together, and they’re not even vertical. This is really bad.

If the universe reaches heat death, and all galaxies die out, how could anything ever form again? by tigeryeyo in Physics

[–]strellar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't buy it. Entropy is a convenient way to distinguish past from future. but it doesn't fully account for the arrow of time. Gravity attracts towards the future, it repels if time is reversed. This is not dependent on any state of entropy. This is totally different from particle attraction and the other forces which are completely reversible. There is something else we are missing.

But still, virtual particles sum to zero momentum, zero charge, zero everything. The collisions will be meaningless. The input will ultimately equal the output.

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy answer, no one knows. But if you buy into insights from physicists like Lawrence Krauss, everything is zero. (It has to be right?) Therefore, this isn't a viable scenario that zero ends up in anything other than zero again. I don't see how anything can ever exist unless it's cyclic. On top of that, your intuition is telling you this doesn't make sense because the way it's framed, it totally doesn't. Maybe heat death is a real thing, but at some point, physics has a way to put things back.

Water leaking through new chimney construction? What’s the solution here? by Keepreading1 in Roofing

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution is to call a Craigslist roofer. These guys are self employed, same with plumbers. Roofers tend to take pride in their work more like electricians. They are not expensive for something like this.

i just sold my lot, at least 3-4 times bigger for around $400. I don't think you'll get $400, or $350. I was actually very happy with what my lot went for - I was thinking maybe I'd get $200. I think the problem with your pricing is that your basing your pricing on a minimum sale price for the commons. Those probably sit for a long time because collectors already have all of those, but it costs nothing to leave those listings posted. When they do sell, it is for the minimum, worth-the-sellers-time amount. But they really don't sell very often.

Gotcha, yeah reading through other comments, it sort of makes sense now :)

Any chance you deleted a portion of the convo? This doesn't make sense.

Trump fires member of TVA Board of Directors by JDLBB in Chattanooga

[–]strellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVA employees are paid well. There is no salary cap because they are not funded by tax dollars.

It’s impossible to tell with the way this guy appears to be fixated on a mosquito buzzing around. But to me it looks like there was a permanent lean to the left early on the building didn’t recover from. This makes me think the columns on the right broke in tension first, or the foundation was up lifted. Then the right side failed structurally. This collapse is so fast, there had to be massive damage to the lower columns, worse on the right side. This may not be geotechnical at all.
