Don't worry about it CW. Engrus is just still holding out hope that Mark Reuss is going to call him back and offer him a billion dollars to fix every single engineering issue that GM has ever had.
Everyone but him knows exactly how likely that is.
Dik, I don't know if you just lost your cool over the last few days and could no longer keep it in, but I am truly embarrassed for you.
From behind my keyboard, there can be only one possible explanation for the worldview you have expressed in this thread. It's so completely nonsensical and...
Metal deck w/o concrete is going to be LOUD. Assuming the architect is directing you to use the same W deck you would've used with concrete, I'm not even sure the decking is designed for that use case. I'd be looking to go to metal grating with water control underneath, or some other solution...
No it isn't. Good lord.
San Francisco proper has had tornadoes before - many times. One hit actual downtown San Francisco in 2005.
Know what the difference was between then and now? They didn't issue a warning in 2005 because weather radar resolution at that time didn't show rotation in the...
That's new vehicles sold in the month of May, 2024. That's not total vehicles on the road. Do the math, dik.
Or just go straight to the actual source. The actual number, according to the government of Norway, as of the end of September, is 26.5%.
Diesel = diesel
Bensen = Gasoline
Elektrisk =...
Sigh. This statistic is not true, please stop saying it.
93% of passenger cars sold in Norway in 2024 were electric.
The actual share of electric vehicles on the road in Norway is around 28%.
That 93% does not include commercial vehicles, where electric propulsion has all the same adoption...
Anyone who says there have been no advances in physics since the 1930s has done you a favor by clearly demonstrating that they have no idea what they are talking about
A second way someone can rapidly self-identify as a clueless moron is to enthusiastically declare allegiance to the nonsensical...
JoshPlumSe is talking about the original map posted by Dik - in which purple represents hot + arid.
On your map, purple represents IECC climate zone 7, titled 'very cold'.
Moisture IS a component of that map. That's the IECC climate zone map, which determines all sorts of things code related...
That's not correct.
That's very clearly a map of current US climate zones, with projections for how those zones could change over time. It's described that way in the presentation from whence it came.
I'll ask the same question I always ask that you never answer:
What's your actual point?
This is like saying 'if the original intel processor was too slow, why not just make it faster instead of introducing new ones'??
Forums run on software packages designed for that purpose. The people who administer this forum aren't writing their own forum code; they are using a commercially...
Heat treatment absolutely alters grain size.
Non-heat treated cast steel parts exhibiting very large grain sizes and very low tensile strength should not surprise anyone. The foundry is correct.
So, is this a case where they have been heat treating parts for 50 years and then stopped?
Or did...
I'll bet you a bologna sandwich there is going to be more 'participation', not less.
This forum has been operating on an ancient, obsolete format for literally 15 years. I guarantee you it's been driving people away.
Great example of the engineering client condition of complaining that a bad tool was removed because you've gotten used to using the wrong tool.
In the old forum, quoting was laborious, so you got used to using references to posts.
In the new forum, quoting takes one click. Use quotes. The...
Shocked by the feedback here.
This forum has been using an out-of-date format, with barely-sufficient functionality, compared to every other online forum on planet earth for more than a decade. I always assumed it was because running a forum can actually be fairly expensive, and it was cheaper...
Generally, yes.
Project 2025 was most definitely an effort involving a great deal of Trump allies.
Trump has made a point to distance himself from that document after a few different bouts of public outrage over various parts of it.
Seems to me that, generally, those on the right believe his...
Project 2025 proposes to completely dismantle NOAA and the NWS and privatize weather forecasting data.
Whether or not you believe Trump plans to attempt to implement Project 2025 proposals probably depends on which of the two primary political narratives you subscribe to.
