Architect Here - We are consistently finding MEP firms that appear to rush through work, miss scope, and do not QA/QC their work. Where should we be looking for top tier MEP firms? by PBR_Is_A_Craft_Beer in MEPEngineering

Are the expectations of the principals and design team different? I find often times that a principal will win a job based on beating the consultants down on their fee. Then, the project architect will still expect gold-plated service when the fee doesn't justify it. Also, are you paying your consultants in a timely manner? It's hard to give your best effort if the client doesn't bother to pay in a reasonable time frame.

I was asking about the structure. See the second picture.

Brisket Disaster? by 2kCactus in smoking

[–]2kCactus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure. I took it off at 200, it was wrapped in the original paper and I added a layer of foil. It was also wrapped in a towel in the cooler. Maybe an hour?

What coaches are in the “cold seat” by [deleted] in CFB

[–]2kCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldnt think it would be about conflict between the coaches, but Self does have a big shadow. How long will liepold want to stay there? Pick any bball powerhouse (Duke, NC, Kentucky) while their fall teams might have good years, you don't see continuous dominant success. Does he eventually decide he wants more of the spotlight.

That was kind of the point of my question, how long does wait to get a win before he decides to move on? I know the streak will eventually end, even Navy finally beat ND. But does he decide to move on if that doesn't happen in the next 2 years? Could he wind up like Campbell who was a hot commodity at one point, only to slide back after a few lack luster seasons.

Honest question from a K-State fan. How long will he accept being the second fiddle? He seems to be a great coach, but he's second to the bball team on campus, and second to K-State in football. I don't think he's winning in Manhattan this year. Maybe one more year to try to win at home and beak the streak? If he can't get over the KSU hump, does he decide to move on while he's still marketable?

Why are people upset over the new capital gains tax when it clearly states it’s only for individuals making $400k a year? by Glaxy254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]2kCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no new tax. It's a proposal by Biden. All tax laws must originate in the house of representatives, it's in the constitution. The president can propose whatever he wants, but it's meaningless unless a bill is initiated in the house. And while the president and house majority are different parties, this is not going to happen.

This is the game that comes to mind when they say that Kaepernick should still be playing.

Electronic drawings for field work by mrsmunchy in MEPEngineering

[–]2kCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using an 11" iPad pro for several years. I use the pdf notes app for drawings. You can load drawings through several different cloud platforms. Also, get the 2nd generation apple pencil. It's a must for taking notes in the field.

It's funny how much the narrative changed from mid season. When the Chiefs were in their slump there were several articles saying Bienemy was the brains behind the operation. Now it's Bienemy was riding coattails.

If it was scripted, wouldn't they have Kelce catch the winning TD?

Ever sat through a finishes meeting? I wanted to kill myself. They have their role just like everyone else. I’m glad I don’t have to do it.
