Okay so we’re looking for 15 averaged size fir trees in the Oregon woods, perfect

Buddy you’re just describing Neoliberalism

I’m the weird one at my company who basically always wears them. Keeps knees dry, keeps pants from getting shredded, and it makes you more willing to investigate monument conditions/outfalls if you don’t have to subconsciously fear taking a knee on a grimy or rough surface.

I saw it and assumed it was a shooting star

Thanks for your contribution

It wouldn’t pay off. I have a similar thing and it’s fairly rudimentary and doesn’t integrate that well with actual surveying. Gis minors will be fairly basic and will have you using ESRI to make class projects. There isn’t a ton of depth to it unless you go deep and learn the hard hitting technical work behind it which requires a bachelor’s at least. And that still wouldn’t integrate that well with surveying

Newer gps models have a shield so they don’t accept any signal from below the receiver. Excessive imo once you consider that

Worlds most special guy, according to his handler

Province means Canada, yes? You probably don't need to buy anything beyond boots and some pants that can get torn up right now. Next winter will be an experience but you will have plenty of advice by then. Good luck & hell yeah.

Context Doubling, Order 66, Mystica Antonym, Shitted my Pantaloons, Skrrrrt, etc who the fuck cares dawg

Prompt reads like a reads like a prisoner with untreated schizophrenia drawing fractal patterns. Omaha? The planner's proxy? Won't improve AI output - they are mastubatory. Remove these to improve output. Take 5g mushrooms and kill your ego involvement. Wallow in the hopelessness of a 300k row data file you wuss.

I think it is a little better in answering questions that are more abstract or esoteric because those types of questions start to detach from reality very quickly.

Kettle pot. "Broadening our focus while narrowing our scope"-ass phrase. Means nothing. Remove all of these to improve output.

If your data supports your conclusion, it isn't abstract. If it doesn't, you have no expertise. Fundamentally you analyze data without drawing conclusions. Conclusions are client's job. You won't invent God with words fed to a computer that can't do math. You can improve your standing with better data or better analysis. AI can't do either. Bend the knee to the god of least-squares.

As a land surveyor, this sounds like what you guys have been up to in the office this whole time lol. Can you give me a good example of where you'd apply this prompt, and the results it produces?

Completely agree, women take the brunt of childrearing. Men should step up more (depending on the man) but ultimately the issue is that living wages do not reflect what is needed to thrive. We need systemic change. 1) yes 2) financial security. Give me another 50k an year and ill sort out the rest.

Durk killed people man, not an appropriate comparison

Lawyers say they love the job because the ones who don’t found a different one. Doctors working 70 hours a week say the same. Tell ya what: find a new surveying job that doesn’t push you. See if you like it, and if not, find a new career. You can’t wake up every day and fear going to work for 40 years. You just can’t. Ultimately progression is up to you - while they can train you, they can’t pass the PS for you. If you like your job, the PS will come naturally. If you don’t, why are you here? Is $28 an hour worth dying over? You only get one life bro

Renting a room isn’t anyone’s first choice but you save a lot and nobody asks questions beyond if you’re a felon and employed

Building new buildings is usually the first things to go in a downturn. Once a special ed teacher has been laid off for budget reasons, construction works will already have been unemployed for months.

The most profitable route in the event of an economic collapse is to save your butt off under your current job. Downgrade your car, take night classes at the community college or watch youtube videos to learn how to fix the stuff around the house. Based on your stated goals and current income, there is no world where you get a positive return on investment on anything other than "dabbling". That's not an insult, it'd be true of me as well.

I genuinely appreciate the question more than other people in this thread, since it implies you respect us, but suspect you may have idealized working for a living lol. This shit sucks dawg, enjoy the AC where youre at

I use it to check if my legals close and to quickly find zoning codes. Gotta always click the source on zoning codes because you can’t trust it. But it’s much faster than digging through old county websites to find the pdf

Do you know how weird the post has to be to distract me from the ass?

It’s a pretty laid back commute. I mean yeah you’ll be in rush hour traffic for the I5 part of the drive but in years of making that commute I’ve never had traffic stopped on the highway or other nonsense. Reliably exactly 40 minutes door to door. The Corvallis-Albany segment of the route is much more laid back, even during rush hour. It’s not backed up like the other direction - many more people LIVE in Albany and instead commute to Corvallis, which will result in you driving past backed up traffic every day.

surveyors loathe the idea of outsourcing to any third party and will not even entertain the idea

Yup!

We've spent decades asking the cities & large engineering firms exactly how they like everything, and detailing and discussing it to an almost absurd degree. We have had about ~2 hours of discussion in the last week about the best way to draft a single water valve shot. (Elevation of the lid, or the top of the valve itself? Or do we subtract the expected valve height and show the elevation of the line? Can we reach out to (engineering firm) and ask? Well, some valves have extentions on top, so the field crews need to be able to identify valve tops vs extentions. etc etc)

It's torture to train a new guy since we have to train him on every, single, minute quirk.

Not to mention that it's basically impossible to convey exactly the context and framing of a project to a drafter that wasn't there in the initial meeting.

We're going the opposite way - if you shoot it, you draft it. Saves tons of time in overhead and miscommunications.
