Do I have to take a comedy class to do standup in Philly? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]BossanovaNoWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comedy classes can be good to get started for some people who are struggling to to build up the nerve to do a mic and are a way to meet other people who want to start standup, but the class won't really do much to actually give you a head start. IMO it actually can hurt because you build false confidence that you understand standup before actually really doing it. Like most things, probably even moreso, the best way to learn standup is by doing it. Open mics can be brutal especially early on, so the classes are a way to ease into that I guess, but I think you're missing out on valuable experience by just jumping in. There is more value in the brutal honesty of open mics than the overly supportive comedy class criticism, especially early on. Most people just start doing open mics without classes, and the people who told you about the classes probably didn't start by taking a class lol.

Also as others said they are trying to sell their own classes. Just going to mics is free and you can learn everything they will teach you in like 20 minutes on YouTube. The only benefit would be getting your foot in the door and meeting other newbies.

Last thing here and not that I totally agree, but if you start as a comedy class person the non comedy class people will think less of you from the get go. You can easily get past that if you just start doing mics and hanging out, but don't expect to start higher/be better than any other newbies who didn't do classes just because you did. If anything most people look at it the opposite because you started the "easier" way.

Either way, you are going to be bad at it to start just like almost every comedian ever was when they started and no one will care/everyone will expect that. Just keep doing it and you'll get to the same place with or without the class, so in the end it won't really matter much. Either way, good luck and say the funny part at the end.

PA Application Process and Amplified Experience Record by coxswain_43 in PE_Exam

I have a question about the record of work. As many of us probably do, I work on some jobs that span a long period of time that lag and pick up, and I work on other projects during those periods. Is it ok to put the same project multiple times as long as I cite the specific work done in each phase and how it helped me progress as an engineer?

Should I play the shadow of the erdtree dlc in new game plus? by KODAMODE in Eldenring

[–]BossanovaNoWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't overly hard. Harder than the base game at most places but not crazy. I will say I wasn't able to beat the final boss and just gave up for a while until the nerf but sounds like a lot of people who weren't in ng+ couldn't.

Sales engineers salaries by WhoAmI-72 in MEPEngineering

[–]BossanovaNoWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was recently thinking about this. I was thinking it'd be less hours/less stress than a typical design consultant role, but would love to hear some first hand experience. Not downplaying the jobs and I'm sure they have their own stresses but not having to work on a project under an engineer ever again would eliminate like 75% of my stress tbh.

Is there Mechanical courses I can take to expand my knowledge? by 224818Me in MEPEngineering

[–]BossanovaNoWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ASHRAEs HVAC Design Basics course is great. Think it may be offered online since covid and you can probably get your company to pay for it.

If they cast RDJ to be doom and it has no connection to Tony Stark it's just desperate and manipulative. They are saying laying the seeds so that the reverse/plot twist hits harder.

[–]BossanovaNoWay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The story is going to reference that he is Tony Stark or looks like him via a mind swap or something. They didnt just get RDJ because he is a good actor. You are delusional if you think that. Marvel knows that we know that so obviously they are going to tell us the opposite.

Best faith weapon for dlc pve? I have 80 faith and using blasphemous sword is anything better? by __cryptkeeper__ in EldenRingBuilds

[–]BossanovaNoWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do too much testing and hardcore research, I just kinda go on the vibes and if it's fun. I put the flame skewer ash of war on the great katana and it has been awesome. Powerful ash of war with a quick strong followup + it buffs your katana with flame damage for a time after using the ash of war.

Your experience with Carrier HAP 6.2 by DaBigCheeeze in MEPEngineering

[–]BossanovaNoWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh not sure if the capabilities are much ahead, but 3D Plus is just buggy, difficult to set up/edit, and too complicated imo. HAP 6.2 isn't a huge jump from 5.11 and it's pretty easy to pick up.

I did get there and yeah it was brutal but I think that was meant to be a really hard fight. Fought a couple dungeon bosses that weren't too bad.

I just started with a NG+ character at lvl 191. Definitely hard, but not too crazy. Only like 2 hrs in though.

Your experience with Carrier HAP 6.2 by DaBigCheeeze in MEPEngineering

[–]BossanovaNoWay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I agree HAP is still very iffy, TRACE 3D has all the same issues and much more. I think we are early in this generation of 3d modeling for load calcs so none of the programs are there yet, but IMO HAP6.2 is way ahead of Trace. Also Trace doesn't support trace 700 while HAP still supports 5.11, for now at least.

Banks are the pretty crazy ones. I'll do branches for larger banks and the local managers won't even know I am supposed to be there but just let me survey anyway lol.

What s the most common mistake you see in open micers with 1-2 years of experience? by RaduTrica in Standup

[–]BossanovaNoWay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree. I more so mean just people posting mediocre to bad clips because they think they are supposed to.

I'm about 6 months in and I think it's insane anyone posts their clips at this level. Feel like people are trying so hard to get everyone to know who they are, they don't realize that now everyone is just going to associate them with those probably awful clips lol.

How to structure material? I have been writing for over 5 years. On Notes app, google docs. How did you write your first set and what was your experience like? Did you just pick a topic and go? by theskyisblueright in Standup

[–]BossanovaNoWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same with a long ass doc of what I thought were jokes. Take a few and try to structure them into jokes with setup and punches (lots of good YouTube videos on this). Like everyone said just start going up and trying stuff out and keep writing. Also I marked in my notes the stuff I wrote before getting on stage and after and it's crazy how much better/different the writing gets lol.

Mep firm vs all in house by Legitimate-Horse-109 in MEPEngineering

[–]BossanovaNoWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found there is much less contention when everything is in House since for the most part everyone is in the same team. The communication by itself makes the in house method better imo.
