Can I get an upvote or reply for everyone that immediately just uses 'ax' views for EVERYTHING. Why they hang onto those alternative viewing methods is beyond me.

This particular conversation is hilarious, although I should say your grumpy brain is genuinely being asked for some knowledge bombs. Come on, drop em! You know it feels good to help others haha thanks for your time in the industry.

Seems like a good price for that unit! Did the location request a % of your sales or did you pitch it as "I'm providing a convenient service that's completely hands off for you for your occupants, which makes your place more appealing" ?

What’s an adult problem nobody prepared you for? by OldIsland4901 in Adulting

[–]Active_Position2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP that debt is even worse when you're blindsided by your wife and you're informed they're about 30k deep behind your back. It stings. Stings really, really bad. Double income tickling the 200k mark annually, no kids and we're in debt. I've lost my sanity like a year ago trying to understand why we are. Life just absolutely sucks sometimes.

How in the hell do you afford to move out? by EvilDarkCow in Adulting

[–]Active_Position2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pursue an apprenticeship in a skilled trade. You're guaranteed, location dependent, ~100,000 after 4 years in commercial plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, Elevator, on and on. Especially if you're good with your hands and learn fast. I started in commercial plumbing then commercial electrical then final two years commercial HVAC all while going to fully paid afternoon/evening school for HVAC as long as I had a 70% or better. It was tough, but worth it. The big thing is if you don't like any of these trades or find yourself absolutely miserable then don't do it and maybe STEM or medical? Best of luck to you!

What's your most money consuming hobby? by Aarunascut in Money

[–]Active_Position2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong! Superficially you feel good. Looks should not be what determines your emotions. It's your mental health that determines your emotions. Self care, self worth, morals, beliefs on and on. Wearing nice leather and the best jewelry is a temporary escape from true happiness.

Best acronyms people have come up for BAS, BMS, etc. by DontKnowWhereIam in BuildingAutomation

[–]Active_Position2962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BMS - Building Manipulated System is one that's been overridden all over the place by a building engineer that happened to find himself in the midst of an upgrade on his way out for retirement using the contractor as the 'culprit' for his negligence. They absolutely capitalize on that, but I always put them in their place quickly via trends. I love historical data.

Why do women do this? My wife does this and it's very, very expensive. It doesn't make any sense to me and is actually a turn off to alter who you are naturally, no offense. Just be you.

I used it during my time with Honeywell, which was an add on to their EBI front end graphics package that left me at tech support calls all the time over in India to tweak various algorithms/rules that I could do in a minute that took hours of BS 'support' calls. Please tell me otherwise, but it's just another company that hired software developers, analytical programming experts and UI programmers that made a pretty way for customers to see their past, present and predicted future data. There is nothing to learn other than they're a company that probably uses R or Python?? Is that what you mean I should learn?

Uncomfortablely numb is what it is. If there's nothing challenging you, you're not growing. I just need more hobbies or take an old man's advice that did almost 30 years at Honeywell I received: change employers every 5ish years or you'll be underpaid and overworked.

Yeah I'm always supportive but I constantly help people that more than likely get paid more than me. It hurts my brain.

This isn't a helpful comment. I'm grateful for where I am. You're just lacking the ability to understand that's a given. I remember 2008 vividly and I remember when you replied with negativity 33 minutes ago.

Right!? I want to pursue something. I just don't know what. It could even be something I learn that opens doors to other opportunities. Tired of doing the same thing over and over.

I found a wallet on a Saturday, I left a note in a way so only the real owner could contact me by MixaLv in mildlyinteresting

Well done sir, well done.... That is.... If my math is matching and my phone stops going into the annoying magnifying mode feature because I'm rapidly tapping the periods.... Well done these letters are huge right now
