So I'm not even sure how this is possible, but Mrs. NJ is PG again... WTF

[roscodog05]

Terzhagi sounds cooler

 

[blybrook PE]

Cudoto presents both names / methods

 

[PeeWee]

Terzhagi sounds cooler

The more I consider it, the more I like this name...

 

[roscodog05]

I kinda like Chip Chipowski

 

[blybrook PE]

Could always go with LS. Little ****

 

[MA_PE]

I like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot as a name.

 

[NJmike PE]

[Dexman PE PMP]

Or just be up front about the situation and just name it "Whoops"

 

[blybrook PE]

Or TU...

"And this is our youngest, Pull Out."

 

[NJmike PE]

seriously, you guys are all cool. a lot of the posts made me smile today.

 

[Supe]

I think one must have high-fived the other as they passed in/out.

 

[YMZ PE]

"And this is our youngest, Pull Out."

This is kind of another vote for Terzaghi; he devised an equation for pull out resistance (which the NJs certainly had a high factor of safety against).

Only on an engineering board would a failed contraceptive measure get compared to soil mechanics. I salute you, YMZ.

 

[ventilator]

pretty sure you don't get pregnant checking the soil mechanics...

 

[blybrook PE]

YMZ has had some good points recently. A retaining wall failure can cause all kinds of spillage.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

You're thinking of a coffer dam, not a retaining wall

 

[blybrook PE]

Retaining walls can cause spills too.

Coffer dams are just a better example for this situation.

 

[Master slacker]

What about beaver dams? No love for them?

 

[NJmike PE]

so here's what I don't get. My wife and I discussed the use of a 5-year contraceptive. It is supposed to be more efficient the snip snip or even tying the tubes. In fact, it was explained to me that there is a 1/1000 failure chance for both the tubes and snip, where as a 1/2000 failure chance for the contraceptive.
