Is it necessary for top-shelf brisket? Not according to the head pitmaster at Goldee's...a #1 BBQ joint on (the last) Texas Monthly Top 50. Shoutout Burnt Bean Co in Seguin, Tx...the new #1 joint.
yea it's funny when people preach "you have to do it this way because Texas bbq joints do it that way"..... Well you are t cooking 100+ briskets to serve the next day just to serve 100 the next.

there is a process to get them fired off the job. A good CM could set it in motion to be prepared to do that. But state agencies rarely have those.

Flood structures I can't comment and don't have much experience, but the military construction side of USACE just requires a licensed PE for their structures, and not necessarily in any particular state.
thats how Post Katrina was. Just a PE from any state. But anything past that we have had to get the state we are working in. I think it's a grey area but if the licencing boards get upset about them building something in that state and they aren't licensed in that state ... Could cause some friction.

keep hearing rumors the industry is going to move to requiring the SE exam for structurals working over a certain height building- NY is leaning in that direction.
I thought that was the point of the SE from the getgo. I've heard talks of USACE requiring SEs. But that's just rumors. It would hurt the consulting world. Most SEs are building designers as the SE is mostly geared towards that. Nothing the SE tests would be relevant to USACE structures.

I drove a Ford Ranger at the time (not white though). I probably got pulled over a half dozen times for not signaling a lane change or going 36 in a 35. I knew what was going on and was okay with it.
I drove a grey extended cab Sierra. I got pulled over multiple times. One time I got surrounded while i was parked in the lot near the Rec, listening to the CD for music appreciation late one night for a final or midterm. 4 cops surrounded me and got me out at gunpoint.

I just told them, "License and registration Chicken fricker."

If one passes the FE exam in Louisiana, are you eligible to take the PE exam?


In Civil, you have to work under a PE for 4 years before taking PE.


the in LA now are you can take the PE as soon as you pass the FE, but still need the experience under a PE to get your PE license.

what many of you dont understand is you get a Professional engineers license. you dont get a civil license or a mechanical license. But you do agree to a code of ethics that you only over see projects that are within your area of expertise.
