Structural Enginerd. If your argument for metric is “something…something base 10,” you’re arguing for Fahrenheit. If you acknowledge a pre-1998 college football national champion, you should acknowledge that Kansas is the 2020 basketball national champion.

My brain put ICF in the "insulated concrete form" file, so I thought this was a concrete canoe competition.

But they should add a portage to the concrete canoe races as well.

I guess ICE agents are just driving around looking in car windows and seeing visa paperwork on the passenger seat and noting the expiry?

The Constitution is not the basis of the law, instead it is an obstruction in the way of enforcement of what we say is “the law.” Is a pretty succinct description of the GOP project.

Not authentic taqueria fare, but I do enjoy Longfellow Grill’s breakfast burritos. It’s breakfast sausage and diner hash brown based, so it may not be what you’re looking for, but still tasty.

Who is doing permitting on these change of occupancies as well? You can’t just put a bunch of people in a warehouse with structural reinforcing either.

Well one group of Minnesotans took down a Homan today on the ice, be nice if this other Homan would get the hell out with his ICE.

I mean, it is a con job for more power and control, it’s just, they are the ones perpetrating it.

I was assuming it was a ploy to give Democrats cover to back down on the funding vote.

A lot of contractors do have engineers they work with. Final bit of advice be careful with the contractors that promote "basement solutions" not that the products or what they want to do are necessarily bad, but they may push something that isn't needed or ineffective with what you want to do.

...If you are looking at lowering your basement slab, I would start with a structural engineer. Lower the basement slab changes things with the walls that need to be addressed by an eng. Without an engineer a contractor may provide a solution that doesn't actually work.

I am no longer with St Paul. Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for contractors but there are many out there that would do that sort of work...(cont.)

Nordic Combined is far superior to only Ski Jumping, not only do you need a big penis but stamina as well.

Was just discussing, “why are Germans so good at luge?” Last night. Decided there must’ve been a beer hall in the Tyrollian Alps, and one night they just decided to see who could sled the fastest. I’m sure at some point two dudes said, “Halt mal unser bier!!”

Somebody was launching a weather balloon and said, “We need 2:10 to 2:20 to be clear,” and a staffer hired by a reality star put out a 10 day shutdown.
