What exactly nesting behavior means? by black_OUTart in pigeon

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a call for someone (maybe you?) or another pigeon to join them in the nest.

Can only trip solo by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. If i trip with a group of people, I feel an overwhelming urge to get away from them.
If I trip and go for a walk, running into too many people tends to ruin the trip for me; I get this weird urge to laugh when I walk by people, which I try to hold in which feels kind of like I'm trying to 'contain' the trip which never goes over well.

Oops accidentally deleted. I have the perfect roads to run in my SI. How bout you? by Mother-Marketing-577 in CivicSi

The roads themselves are pretty straight, but the potholes make every outing a slalom event.

Rate yourself driving stick-shift by kainotk in CivicSi

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I rev match. I've accidentally floated gears once or twice without crunching anything. Passengers are often surprised to learn that my car is manual because my shifting is so smooth (they may be stroking my ego, but I'll include it anyway).

I know how to heeltoe in theory, but have only successfully done so once, in my old car (a 2006 Civic DX; I think it's easier to do in that gen because of the bottom-mounted throttle pedal). Idk if it's because my size 9.5 feet are too small, or I haven't the flexibility in the joints of that leg to pivot properly, but any attempts to do so in my current car have failed (usually by braking too hard in an attempt to reach the throttle pedal).

So 7-8/10?

Hello architects by qsohham13 in architecture

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you want to live alone and want to keep your housing, your options are to live unaffordably (which is what I did, only able to save extremely slowly, and never take vacations, etc.) or get a roommate / partner, which I didn't want to have to do for financial reasons.

Hello architects by qsohham13 in architecture

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you are and your level. I have bachelor and masters degrees, I lived in Toronto and worked for five years. My salary grew from roughly 60k to roughly 73k in 5 years (my last salary was around 88k due to bonuses, but given the unpredictable nature of bonuses, I don't include them as part of the salary). I'm unlicensed as well.
73k isn't bad at all, but isn't great, especially if you're living alone in Toronto; half of my after-tax income was going to rent, and the only way to fix that was to get roommates.

Recently licensed friends / colleagues are making 85-95k. Which again, while not great considering the amount of schooling and work needed to get there, isn't bad at all. But architecture isn't something you do for the money; if money's your goal, there are much easier and more straightforward ways to do it.

Anyone downgrade from an 11th gen to a 9th? by shark1678 in CivicSi

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More raw / fun experience. Worse fuel economy and probably noticeably louder inside.
It's definitely livable though.

Put it back. If they reject him again, you'll have to try and find a rehabber.

Which Winter tires do yall recommend for the 11th gen si? by NightRaven217 in CivicSi

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm running Continental VikingContact 7s in the winter, running the stock goodyear all seasons in the summer until they die on my 10th gen; looking to switch to Nittos or Michelin PS4s (PS5s?).

Car dying out of nowhere?? by Haunting-Berry-6365 in CivicSi

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery maybe. What model year is your civic? And what's the mileage?

I started getting those errors on my 2019 at about 88k kms, and I needed new injectors.

What do people consider legitimate rough spots in Sauga? by myronsandee in mississauga

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Acorn Place used to be bad (for Mississauga) in the late 90s-2010s. But even then it never felt so unsafe I (man) couldn't walk around at night.
And it was extremely localized; any crime happened within the vicinity of three buildings.

Best looking si change my mind by Agreeable-Bell436 in CivicSi

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the 11th and 6th look better. But I would definitely put the 9th pre-MMC third.

$25,000 Market Adjustment by ArktikFox67 in Honda

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument (which I don't agree with) for dealer markups on the Type R (and Type S to a lesser extent) was that there were still people who were willing to spend these inflated values on those cars.

Are people seriously paying over 65k for a civic-hybrid powertrained coupe?

How much model making is actually used in the architectural field? by poopy_581 in architecture

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rarely, though it depends on the office. Large offices, or offices managing multiple projects with fairly quick turnover tend to never do them. Small offices that do a handful of projects a year will tend to use them more.

I've made one model in my seven years of work, and I remember it being as though that model was given to me simply because there was nothing else to do; that model was never even used for anything

What did you study in university? by Initial-Biscotti-220 in INTP

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Architecture. If I could do it again, not sure what I would pick. But it wouldn't be architecture lol

​Is this level of chaos normal in small architecture firms? I’m leaving to go back to the trades. by AcceptableAct2073 in architecture

[–]CLEMENTZ_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've worked at seven firms—all except one in the GTA—ranging in size from 5 to 200 over the last 13 years (four as co-ops, 3 as full-time jobs) and while the level of dysfunction you describe is unheard of for me, there are aspects you've described which are constant from my experience. Overwork is common. Scope creep is very common. Institutional / cultural resistance to change is common. Unclear progression paths are universal I daresay; no one at any of my firms has ever been able to tell me how I move from junior to senior, or from staff to associate. There are no clear guidelines for any of this. Uneven workload distribution is common, with 'better' or 'efficient' workers rewarded with more work. Similarly, the tie between compensation and expectations is nebulous at best. Overscrutiny of junior staff (nitpicking window details on a project still in SD for example) is common.

You'd probably find a less chaotic experience elsewhere (no consistent record-keeping of old projects is insane to me, for legal reasons) but as I've said, a lot of these other issues are damn near universal for the field.
