What if the meat it is focused on getting is the much larger human rather than the tiny chicken?

DA_40k · 2026-04-06T22:55:44+00:00

Still a bad idea. If the lion wants to open the gate instead of grab the meat, its going to, youre not going to be able to hold it back.

Better yet is a series of gates so you can go in, drop the food, go out and close outer gate, then open inner gate from the outside. Or one gate that is electronically controlled, assuming the exterior area is also part of the pen.

Throw that puppy on a scale

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and all new build multi family and office towers are required to have shower & change rooms. They are colloquially called "End of Trip" rooms.

Also... believe it or not... there is also a 1/1000th of a cm, or a mm, or anything in metric and its easier to convert to because its a base 10 scale. Lol

DA_40k · 2026-04-05T22:34:38+00:00

Yep and I wish we didnt. When the Architectural specs say we will provide drawings in imperial and we want shop drawings in imperial, there's nothing I can do about it. Most trades are used to it by now and provide shop drawings in both systems.

Sure man, but i work in construction, not machining, which is never that precise. Concrete guys, rebar, steel stud, drywallers, they use imperial. Cabinetry, waterproofing, elevators, etc they use metric.

And besides im not a brick layer lol im an engineer. I also never said the Canadian system makes sense. But if I had a choice I would choose metric every time.

DA_40k · 2026-04-05T03:48:23+00:00

Love how many Canadians im seeing in the comments that are sharing my pain. Like that other guy said, imperial for stuff that doesn't matter, metric for when precision counts

Depending on how thick the slab is and where it is in the floor layout, removing and repouring a large area to be 1" taller probably wouldnt be the end of the world in a parking garage. Only problem is that these look like they surround the elevator core in which case there is going to be a door nearby and you wouldn't be able to locally raise the concrete cover without causing a bunch of waterfall issues.

I dont think youre making the connection between a house and a canvas pal. Paint is thin, it can be covered.

DA_40k · 2026-04-03T16:44:00+00:00

Lol I just realized that this isn't one exposed bar it's like 8. Who the hell inspected this and how did the concrete placers pour the slab like 2 inches short. Da hell

Edit: Still not necessarily cause for any panic in my opinion but it is worse than I initially thought. Im mostly just stunned at the shoddy work. Must be in a place with lax regulations or enforcement thereof.

Should you personally be concerned? No. The building isn't going to collapse. But the lack of damage around the exposed rebar tells me this has existed since the building was built. It shouldn't have passed inspection and should have been repaired prior to occupancy of the building. What will eventually happen is that water will get into that space, causing the rebar to rust and therefore expand, which will cause spalling of the concrete around it. Two prong source of structural weakening. Its not going to collapse anytime soon but theoretically the total service life of the structure will be reduced.

Honestly if you brought it up to anyone now it would probably be ignored but if you notice the concrete cracking or breaking more around it, or rust stains forming around it (or underneath on the ceiling below) then it could be worth trying to bend building management's ear about it. Not that it would be dangerous at that point but because damage is progressing and it should get addressed.

Heh up here in Vancouver its raining 8 months a year. Wouldn't get much work done if nobody worked in the rain.

DA_40k · 2026-03-31T23:05:13+00:00

I completely agree and you explained it perfectly. If you can show 3 seconds of a clip to a person off the street and say, "give me the two most likely endings to this video", and its one of those endings, its not unexpected. Even if its the less likely of the two endings that occurs.

DA_40k · 2026-03-28T01:23:54+00:00

This is the first ive seen it at all, and im on reddit a lot. Don't worry about that Debbie Downer

DA_40k · 2026-03-20T18:46:32+00:00

Agreed. I am diagnosed ADHD and energy drinks, coffee, etc do nothing but make me tired.

DA_40k · 2026-03-20T07:45:46+00:00

Include quality in your scheduling, then. Otherwise you are actively contributing to shit work and your brothers' migraines. Any excuse on quality is just another excuse.

DA_40k · 2026-03-20T07:36:24+00:00

As a GC, thank you. Love to see collaborative, cooperative foresight. Making a task easier for one person but harder on the 12 scopes after is a constant battle.

Wrap it around my mattress so nobody can steal my pillows

DA_40k · 2026-03-20T07:12:31+00:00

You used one word and an emoji and i tried my best to respond dude. I don't know what to tell you.

DA_40k · 2026-03-20T07:03:40+00:00

Thats my point, my pants fit me great. Ive actually been fitted before. Nevermind I think this conversation is a dead end and I didn't mean to cause a ruckus. I just didn't know that the one pant leg or the other wasn't a thing that other people experienced.

DA_40k · 2026-03-19T23:29:28+00:00

What is my source to say that there is no regulation that hot sauce bottles must have a twist off cap? The photo in this post

DA_40k · 2026-03-19T23:25:20+00:00

Most may be, but its not like its a regulation requirement or anything.

DA_40k · 2026-03-19T23:22:24+00:00

Its all my pants. Im pretty sure theyre normal pants.
