Can You Hold Bill Cipher?

Hypothetical with estimated equation

by @glitchedcrisis and @0starmuncher0

[Math Below]

Reasons for weight references:

-Bill can sometimes have different heights so we decided to go the estimate that he is a 3ft equilateral triangle.

-since he is 3 feet limb weights were referenced by a male toddler because the average height is 3 feet. His limbs would also weigh alot less than the average adult.

-he is as tall as his cane. Cane heights can differ but a cane for someone 6ft would be 3ft.

-acessories and eye weight is just an estimate and could be off.

-we used the weight of concrete because it best matched his estimated width and trying to match the volume of bricks to the volume of bill was not adding up.

Anyways so here's the paper

I don't know how to explain it tbh. We were more wordy about it in the process than in the aftermath

TLDR: Bill Cipher weighs approximentally 60.2 lbs and you can therefore hold him

i have no one to share my excitement with at the moment so late posting but i finished the lighthouse lego and it’s my favorite thing :)

there’s so many fun small details, and it’s so cool that it actually lights up and is motorized!!! and i love its name, i never saw that before when i looked at it ugh 😭

Integration of 3D printing and robotics in civil engineering

In this article, 3D printers are useful for creating new structures on-site or manufacturing components off-site for advanced assembly.

3D printing and robotics are two rapidly developing technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the field of civil engineering. 3D printing can be used to create complex structures with intricate details, while robotics can be used to automate tasks that are currently done manually.

The integration of 3D printing and robotics has the potential to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and quality of civil engineering projects. It can also help to reduce costs and improve safety.

Here are some examples of how 3D printing and robotics are being used in civil engineering:

3D printing of concrete structures: 3D printing can be used to create concrete structures, such as bridges, buildings, and tunnels. This can help to reduce costs and improve safety, as 3D printing can be used to create structures that are more resistant to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

3D printing of architectural models: 3D printing can be used to create architectural models, which can help architects and engineers to visualize their designs and to identify potential problems. This can help to save time and money, as it can prevent the need to build physical models.

Robotic construction: Robots can be used to automate tasks that are currently done manually, such as pouring concrete, placing bricks, and welding. This can help to improve efficiency and accuracy, and it can also help to reduce costs and improve safety.

I have a really hard time with spacial awareness and having a concept of measures and stuff. Last night my mom called me out on it, because I tend to put too much food/drink on my plate & cup. I feel silly bc I'm already 20, so this shouldn't be an issue. How can I improve that, how do I know how much food to put on my plate so I don't end up with leftovers to waste? I figured it out w/ drinks but with food it's harder, especially with rice or pasta, since there's no specific quantity

Oh!  I know this one!  Put an amount that you know is too small.  There’s nothing wrong with getting seconds, right?  So however much you think you will eat, put half that.  That’s okay!  After you eat it, then wait 5 minutes and let it sit.  Give your stomach time to send the message to your brain of how hungry you still are.  You may surprise yourself and not be hungry anymore at all!

But if you ARE still hungry, then go back for seconds, and do it again- put an amount that you’re sure is too small.  It’s okay, thirds are a thing!  There is no rush to get the food, unless there isn’t enough to go around, in which case everyone should be getting an even amount then, cause that’s a different situation.

But if there’s plenty of food, don’t be afraid to just get it later.  Make your first plate definitely too small.  Then when you’re done eating, you can judge again whether you’re still hungry.  This way, you don’t have to ever get good at estimating.  You can be wrong forever!  But you’re wrong on the small side, so food doesn’t get wasted, and Mom is happy.  Yay!

IF there are people who bully you with things like “Is that all you’re going to eat?” (there are families that are like this and they make me so ANGRY, let me eat less!), just say to them “Nope, I’m gonna have more I’m just starting with this.” and they’ll usually shut up.  Even if they continue, just stand your ground and say “I’m going back for more in a bit.”  Don’t let them bully you.  It’s your plate and if you want to have small portions on it, you’re allowed.

To be clear before I go any further

Nothing I post/will post/have posted in the past blah blah blah blah blah concerning employment or views of views of views…. this is for me. For Nicole at her core for learning and growing and being equipping myself with tools” in my “toolbox” to do my job correctly. I want to be passionate, over the top, in love with what I do because it’s the only way to feel like you’re on vacation every day. So for my records and my networking and my quest to be the best I can be each day for my customers, here I am….

Asking humbly for help.

From anyone. About anything you can give me advice/link/procedures/guidebooks/etc etc etc…. A shout out into the void, probably, but here I am hoping that somewhere someone has the same glimmer of a passion and can help me dive into this.

Background: parents include a body man and a hardcore insanely smart manager mother, grew up in a shop (or bouncing around them rather), even into adulthood stumbling into the estimator path. I’ve been through (mental health wise…) a lot… blah blah blah, got some help, yada yada….great cool I’m on meds now and feel like I’ve missed 10 years of my life to not having a hobby/passion/something to throw myself into for mental exercise. I’d love to use my career as a basis of learning, hoping it will bring me more joy and success! I’ve been in the shop for 6 years, 2 as a receptionist, 2 at home as a reinspector third party, and 2 as a shop estimator where I’ve thrived the most. Just recently, a light clicked when I got intrigued with a “how does that work though…….?” And somehow I haven’t stopped asking questions.

So if anyone has magazine articles, oem procedures/position statements, insurance guidelines (oooooooh, and if you’re a baddie who has loopholes to *help* customers (((and again THIS IS ME PERSONALLY AS A HUMAN NOT AFFILIATED ANYWHERE LOL))), advice for a young gun who wants to go far, someone to bitch to about shop life because being a woman in this industry is harrrrrrrrrrrrrrd, lemme know. I need good friends, I would adore a mentor, and I’m a pretty inquisitive person to bounce ideas off of.

Nice to meet y’all!
