Spend the day planning your next trip!

If you haven't seen the news last night or this morning, there were several tornadoes in Alabama, Georgia and Florida yesterday.  The worst one in eastern Alabama caused extensive damage and killed at least 23 people. I don't know if @engineergurl will be on here today, but we know she is ok. ...

Asking for Mrs. mudpuppy....  how do you determine the minimum clearance of a bridge above a navigable waterway?  She says some of the waterways have a published height by the Coast Guard, but the one she's working with does not. As an EE I'm totally lost here.

I found this interesting.  One of the university researchers who blew the lid off the Flint water coverup is trying to get the PE license revoked of another university researcher  here in Michigan. http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2018/03/one_flint_water_researcher_fil.html

I got an offer to be recommended to attend the cut score meeting for the EE exam this spring.  I know VTE attended one of these, but I thought there were a couple others on EB who have done this?  Anyone been to one and have any advice?  Not sure if I really want to take a day off to take the PE...

I'm working on buying a house, and it has a 550' driveway.  If we end up in this house one of my early concerns is going to be how to clear snow off the drive.  I see a few options: 1.  There's a neighbor that owns a lawn care/snow plow business.  I could hire him to plow, but don't know the...

I got engaged a year ago today, which means today must be Road Guy's birthday! Have a good one, just imagine you're out on the slopes today.

I may be in the market soon for one of those giant tax deductions (mortgage, not children!).  It's been 14 years since I got a mortgage.  I seem to hear bad things about banks, so I got my last mortgage at a local credit union and I've had a very good experience with them.  However, their rates...

We've been lacking potty humor lately so let's try this: Describe your farts using only a movie title. I'll go first: Backdraft

This is an academic project studying how people interpret risk, especially associated with medical and/or financial decisions, but it also gauges your ability to catch manipulation in political or other statistics. I found it pretty interesting. Find the test and more information at...

I know there are a bunch of us EE/Power folks here. I'll start the introductions. Thirteen years at a medium-sized electric utility in the midwest. Twelve of those in system protection, primarily specifying protection system designs and calculating relay settings for 46 kV to 345 kV systems...

Good to see an engineer made CEO of GM. Will be interesting to see if she keeps their recovery on track. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/12/10/mary-barra-bio-gm/3951015/ My company historically has had engineer CEOs until the last one was appointed. Things have changed a lot...

Take the test: http://science.time.com/2013/10/22/the-united-states-of-attitude-an-interactive-guide-to-americas-moods/ Apparently I belong in Montana!

It's been a long time coming. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/06/us-postal-service-delivery-mail-saturdays/1895277/ I hardly get anything but junk mail and bills anyway. I don't need to receive those on Saturdays.

I've been tasked with setting up the engineer's week meeting of my local chapter of the Michigan Society of Professional Engineers. I have a couple ideas for speakers but I'd love to hear what other engineers would like to hear about. Any thoughts? Topics for recent meetings have been the...

The idea of an Engineerboards.com convention has been tossed about for a while, and recently there has been some serious talk about it in the Supporting Members forum (you really should come join the cool kids over there). So the idea is, a bunch of us get together, chat, some people present...
