  • Had a 100+ year old house built for a steel mining company. Full cinder block siding on 2 stories and a basement. Joists in the basement were full size 2x10s nestled snugly between steel reinforced concrete joists (I forget the length on center). Had to replace some sub floor on the second floor under the toilet. More steel reinforced concrete joists. The nukes ever start flying I’m hightailing it back there and busting in… provided they didn’t reinforce the door.








  • You sound a lot like an angsty teen with undiagnosed autism. I went through similar scenarios when I was a teen. A few things to consider

    If you’re actually right, you shouldn’t really need to explain yourself. The truth should be evident.

    If you’re explaining why you’re right to someone, what do you gain by convincing them? And does that justify the effort to convince them? You may be denying them that same gain by not conceding they are right.

    Emotions can alter the landscape and motives might not be pure. If you’ve continually berated someone and harangued them about how you’re right, they might just argue with you to deny you that validation.
