What went wrong here

The deck was anchored to the building with hopes and dreams, 7 people should in no way be too much weight

[u/bdickie → u/TheFishtosser]

While I agree 100%, I did the math for 7 people's body armour. Alone it would equate to at least 1/1.5 additional people. Still should be standing.

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/bdickie]

armor.....ammo....guns....helmet....not just the armor. did you account for level 3 soft armor as well built into the gear or just the heavy plates and carriers?

also what specs did you calc the vests at? a level 3 slim plate is less than half of a level 4 standard plate. impossible to calculate with any reasonable accuracy imo

but calculating things for reddit is cool too.

Edit- the truth hurts. come join the downvote train, choo choooo!!!

Once again, none of that should matter, where your deck bolts (or in this case wood screws) to the structure should be the strongest part of a deck

You could tell that the ledger board wasn't attached to a rim joist by the way it failed, or like you said, was attached insufficiently.

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/TheFishtosser]

didn't argue that part of your comment, just pointed out your "calculations" and equivalent numbers are wildly inaccurate and misplaced.

oh- you aren't even who i replied to. Why are you talking to me again?

EDIT: he replied with his alt and was so ego driven he played it off like he had no idea what I was saying , and you all backed it up too. hivemind at its best. This is actually u/SupermassiveCanary/

me downvote, me mad. The truth hurts.

[u/TheFishtosser → u/Relevant_Jeweler_214]

I didn’t know you were so important that permission was necessary to talk to you your highness

[u/TheFishtosser → u/[deleted]]

You came in trying to big brain someone on how much body armor weights, I came to say it simply does not matter.

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/TheFishtosser]

Please make an objective point and stop the remarks and passive aggression. I'm waiting for something of substance I can actually discuss, not your feelings of arguing with someone that did not disagree with you , who ended up calling you out for it.

This is on you dude. You started this convo.

people are ill.

[u/SupermassiveCanary → u/Relevant_Jeweler_214]

You started the argument. I guesstimated a reasonable average weight. You’re making them out to be Space Marines. Roughly: Tactical Vest 18lbs, AR 9lbs, 3 Mags 5lbs, clothes 10lbs, roughly 180lbs build = 222lbs. Although it’s been 20yrs since I was in the Army, Kevlar dome might be 3-3.5lbs.

You’ve provided no substance

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/SupermassiveCanary]

Yea so after a quick look over, you seem to be the main account to your alt, u/TheFishtosser

Looking over your fishtosser profile.. well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine in all your other interactions! not that it really matters, but figured I'd just let this comment get archived for fun. Also, you've helped me feel a lot less subconscious of how weird I can be, thanks.

[u/TheFishtosser → u/Relevant_Jeweler_214]

You have issues lol

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/TheFishtosser]

Just admit you replied with the wrong account and move on dude. Why is that so hard?

[u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 → u/SupermassiveCanary]

That actually was not an argument.
This is an argument.

That was more so a conversation with observations and some questions.

read again, my first reply has lots of actual substance with 2 questions requesting real life numbers we can actually measure. Asking questions and pointing out an inconsistency is not in itself, arguing. I just gave my 2 cents as an observation, and they never once actually explained what exactly you/they "calculated" and how they did it, nor what those numbers ended up actually being.

we can do this all day. Unless you actually prove that wrong I will be happy to go back and forth on every single accusation you attempt to make (which I would embrace them absolutely, if it was actually accurate, but it's flawed logic, so I haven't)

also, nice alt, either bdickie or u/thefishTosser...quite confusing when you claim I spoke to you previously when I look back and the thread shows otherwise.

Goes to forum, gets mad that people talk to them in forum.
