Doctors have me on a 7 day plan where at the end ill be taking 24MG a day. My plan is to wait as long as possible after my last 7oh dose, which I just took, and then start with 1/2mg to 1mg of suboxone. Take that every 12-24 hours as needed for a few days, and then cut that in half again. So 1/2-1/4mg of sub every 12-24 hours and then just stop taking it. If anyone has any advice or things they wish they'd have known before starting this journey, please feel free to share.

Okay, fair warning I used chat to summarize my issue, but ill give a brief rundown. So the inspector failed our deck this morning based on Hilti's fastener plan. I think he interpreted their fastener plan wrong, but im looking for some other opinions.

Project is using 1.5" 11/36 B-deck in Phoenix, AZ. Structural note calls for “18 fasteners per sidelap span.”

Here’s the issue:

- Joist spacing (deck support span) is ~6’-0”

- Deck sheet length (sidelap run) is ~24’-0”

Two possible interpretations:

1. 18 fasteners per 6' span → ~4" o.c. (very tight, seems excessive)

2. 18 fasteners per full 24' sidelap → ~16" o.c. (much more typical)

In your experience, when engineers reference “sidelap span,” are they typically referring to:

- the support span (joist-to-joist), or

- the full deck sheet length along the sidelap?

Also, have you seen sidelap fastening as tight as 4" o.c. for standard roof deck (non-FM extreme cases)?

Appreciate any insight—trying to determine if this is a spec ambiguity or an intentionally aggressive design.
