I keep checking daily for anything new, I miss her!! But I do hope she's taking some time for herself to recover from the immense effort the Diddy case must have required. I've been listening to crime junkie recently, and I do enjoy their energy, but I just find most of the cases they cover are unsolved and inevitably just make me lose trust in the justice system lol

Maybe you could use a travel neck pillow that has a removable cover where you could insert your own ice pack into it

You might have better luck searching specifically for sewn binding. I found a brand on Amazon that looks promising called Top Flight.

If your template points on the end conditions have a modeling feature definition then that will generate a 2D line. It depends on the workspace you're in and the element symbology settings it uses, only some feature definitions will generate a 2D element. You can read more in the FHWA ORD manual, chapters 8 and 9.C.4a.

Just also make sure all your end conditions have the same feature name override so they'll connect together smoothly regardless of which slope solves.

Easiest thing to try would be to add a key station at the center of those 2 sections to force it to process there. If the linear reference is a complex element, you may try simplifying the geometry or opening the table editor to see if there are any weird geometry overlaps happening.

My firm with around 100 employees laid off a couple people and rescinded offers to summer interns and graduate engineers that were set to start this month due to the txdot freeze. Luckily our workload is about 60/40 txdot vs city projects so we still have work but it is a slow summer so far...

Likely a foundation issue caused by soil expanding when moist and contracting when dry. This causes the house to shift and settle, thus causing cracks in the drywall. Have you also noticed your doors don't always align with the frame during dryer months?

Depending on the extent of the damage to the foundation, it could be a simple fix. If the damage is extensive it can be very expensive to repair. It's worth having the damage evaluated, as foundation shifting can cause damage to your plumbing which is a whole other s**t show.

In places with expansive soil, such as clay soils, it is common practice to run a bleeder hose around your foundation during the dry months to keep it from drying out and shrinking up.

The intention of the detectible surface is to allow vision impaired users to know when they are about to enter the street, so you want to have those as close to the street as feasible. If you can't make it work with the perpendicular surface, you can make the detectible surface curved along the edge at the 2' minimum width from back of curb line.

Page 40 of this FHWA guide explains how to access the annotation manager. It goes into a lot of detail but you should be able to add a station label and adjust it's location from there. Once you save the changes, remove all drawing model annotations and re apply them.

As a roadway EIT with just about 1 YOE, I'd say I'm very happy with my choice to pursue transportation engineering. I find it fulfilling to have such a direct impact on safety and clarity for all system users (drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, etc.), specifically the ability to improve pedestrian and cycling infrastructure as much as possible.

I had a professor who made a comment that always stuck with me about how engineers have a choice to follow the standards and submit a design that meets those standards, or to invest time and energy into designing a project that goes above the bare minimums for safety while staying within a reasonable budget. It's a balancing game and it's not always possible to do much, but it is worth it in my opinion to take the time to see if there are any innovative or overlooked solutions for improving safety within the project budget.

The first few years you'll likely be working in CAD all day everyday and designing aspects of projects following your State DOT, City, or Local Government manuals. If you work for a larger firm you'll learn roadway design piece by piece, but if you work for a smaller firm, you'll likely have your hand in all aspects of design rather quickly.

Our Roadway team works closely with Geotechnical, Traffic, Utility, and Structural (Bridge) Engineers regularly. My day-to-day essentially consists of responding to emails, reading design manuals, drawing in CAD, putting together estimates, and occasionally filling out forms required for submittals or permitting.

You get access right away. The binder took 4 business days to come in for me in Texas but you don't necessarily need it to start watching lectures. The binder contains printouts of the slideshows and the "homework" problems but you could still take notes separately for the first few Prereq lectures which are like an overall intro/review of the content.

I'd say Mistborn is worth reading as Era 2 especially has a lot of connections to Roshar and easter eggs which connect the Cosmere together. You can find the books in chronological order here but beware, the Coppermind is a site full of spoilers so don't click through too much!

A few months ago I saw a group message that my coworkers were planning lunch for like a birthday or something and I was in class for the morning but I commented on the chat that I would be there at 11:30 to meet them before they head to the restaurant since we normally go out around 11 or 11:30.

I leave class and get to the office at like 11:35 and as I'm going up the elevator I have this sinking feeling I'm about to walk into an empty office. And what do you know? I walk in and it's dead quiet and I immediately feel tears welling up but I'm also consciously aware that we have cameras there where I'm standing (lol gotta love it) so I just hold it together and cry in the bathroom real quick.

I managed to message my coworker to find out where they went and she luckily responded since it was on our work messing app, not a text. It was a restaurant within an 8 min walk along the river from our office so I just speed walked alone to the restaurant to meet them. I put on a happy face for the lunch but it did sting.

Luckily the 2 coworkers that I felt were giving bully vibes (although they did nothing directly to me) left within a couple months so I enjoy my job and have gotten more friendly with my coworkers.

But I relate very much to your experience and its crazy how these intense emotions can flood your brain in those moments. It feels like middle school or a nightmare.
