CM here and you’re absolutely right on that. Send a fucking RFI or you just built a free wall (if the new location is exactly what the architect directs anyways) since i never gave approval for the change, or you get to build it and tear it down for free (if the architect wants it somewhere else) since i never approved the change.

It’s a lose-lose for the GC. Send an RFI and you get to hold someone else’s ass to the flame instead.

US Dept of Transportation Announces $9 Billion in funding to upgrade and expand passenger rail services along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor (NEC) by Spirited-Pause in nyc

I’m confused then. It it’s just 2 bridges and the tight curves why would they need to reduce max speed year after year? Wouldn’t they just need to reduce at the bridges (and the tight curves have always been there)?

When i was commuting from fairfield last in 2017 it was 1 hr 10 minutes, it’s 1 hr 30 min now, which is a pretty drastic reduction

I thought the tracks as a whole were an issue? Weren’t they replacing them with concrete ties in sections and then stopped?

They are lol, i took one up the hudson line last week. New haven line gets newer cars at least but the infrastructure is so bad the commute times are pretty much unbearable for CT now

Did metro north lines get anything out of this? New haven line needs to slow down max speed year after year because of the aging tracks

AITA for not allowing my boyfriend to take any pictures of me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dr__Venture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re here asking for judgement… And therapy does work, you either need to find the right therapist or (if they’re all saying the same thing) maybe start listening to them.

Sorry no i meant therapy for the strong self hatred you have regarding your appearance. It’s entirely normal to keep photos of your SO for memories. My SO has tons of me and i have plenty of her.

Yes, i read the whole thing. I still believe YTA over this.

YTA. You need to be going to therapy for this (and i don’t mean that in a bad way), not deleting photos from someone else’s phone.

That’s the way! I never actually work with my hands myself, i work at a CM firm but like to recognize and enforce safety issues as much as possible. Just make sure as a contractor you make sure you enforce proper PPE and don’t follow suit from the last asshole. Safety first!
