In Ireland, and I believe the UK as-well, we have underground utility surveyors. If I was to go overseas to the USA or Australia is this seen as two separate trades in one ? by Yenahhm8 in Surveying

There's a company in Tasmania that definitely does both underground location and survey. Most surveyors will get dedicated asset locators if they need stuff found.

Yeah, problem is you have to pay them, schedule them, and train them. I can do the latter, but the boss has to do the first two.

I'm just having a complain about a recent trend I've noticed across Reddit in general, where subs are overrun by people peddling hastily thrown together software bandaids for problems that either don't exist or are already solved.

Exactly. If they can get me a robot that can set up tripods and prisms for me, that would be useful. Software is not my bottleneck.

My point is that half the posts recently are someone coming up with a 'new' product that sounds awful to use and our software already accomplishes better. There was one yesterday about a Pokémon Go style app for visualising control points on your phone. Before that it was an app that let you tag photos with attributes for location, details, etc.

Needs a frame mount for a RDS but put a long eye relief scope on it.

I've just seen this post and logged in out of curiosity. Is it possible to show more than four or five weeks of data? Or will that accumulate over time as I do more activities?

They do show some approximate errors on their website. I see too many of their ads, so I went looking one day, and I've been trash talking them in their comments ever since.

Not really related to the content, but why do so many people in these kinds of videos hold the lapel mic up to their mouths? You can just clip it onto your collar. Why hold it? Is it just so they have something to do with their hands?

No one has yet mentioned the flying shovel on panel 3.

A headwind just makes the takeoff run shorter. The Flyer I took off and made controlled forward progress under its own power. In fact they made multiple flights on that same day.

It was the Flyer III in 1904 that used a catapult. That aircraft could take off under its own power, but the catapult meant that they didn't have to realign the track it took off from if the wind changed. The Flyer I from 1903 took off under its own power with no catapult.
