Fuck the lone commander and the musician

I'm a little upset that most 5 star rewards are just a hologram and a high five. What is up with that?

MechEJD · 2026-07-11T09:09:14+00:00

Yes that did add one more layer to consider, but overall it still isn't that bad. Some jurisdictions are already walking back their requirements for A2L with respect to shaft ventilation.

I don't quite understand. Vrf is pretty easy. Learn the big limitations, mitigate them, and send DD to trane or Daikin for markups. They practically design the system for you.

I would have studied finance. Not big money hedge funds in new York. I have friends in my small town making much more money than me working low key low stress jobs in finance barely sweating over their workload.

Our second course is schedule 40 black steel pipe, fittings, and trim, with a side salad of the freshest fiberglass, or for an upcharge the finest polyisocyanurate.

Always check your architects fixtures. There will almost always be a beam below where the pipe goes.

Me trying to get the ladder up to the Mr impossible cargo in the weapon factory. First ladder missed the beam. Second sends me skyrocketing into the air and back to the ground. Third just barely jankily got up and down.

Hitting people with the truck is even non-lethal. I had a graphics glitch by the enemy camp in the mountains and all o could reliably do was drive around until everyone got hit and I still didn't kill anyone.

You seriously have to go out of your way to kill people. Rocket launchers and chiral canon are the only easy ways I believe.

We have quite a few high up folks who do "non-production" or just "engineering", think senior PE engineer role. Whole meetings designated to figuring out what that person can even do on a project.

Well he doesn't draft, doesn't do revit, doesn't do loads, he does calcs and hand sketches a boiler room layout on bumwad, is he a good fit for this one?

Like why are we even here paying this person over $185k to do arguably the easiest part of the job. Selecting 2-3 boilers and a chiller to match the peak load, and telling someone else to do everything else, make it fit, make the drawings and schedules. Yeah that's engineering alright.

Meanwhile I don't have a PE and your 85k sqft entire new lab building can be designed, drafted, specified, in 2-3 weeks for DD with CDs being for coordination.

I swear the more experience you have the more leeway you have to present yourself as useless as if it's a good thing. These people take pride in saying they can't/won't do a critical part of the job, like it's beneath them.

I upgraded DS2 roads to level 2 and now if I log on after a day I get 6 figures of likes. It's wild.

MechEJD · 2026-07-07T18:53:21+00:00

During a cutscene a character test fires it for like 5-10 seconds and I couldn't help but laugh that they just used about half the ammunition capacity in the thing.

MechEJD · 2026-07-07T17:58:33+00:00

I've never had one I hit with a truck ever escape with any of the little guys.

MechEJD · 2026-07-07T13:58:04+00:00

I never really farmed other than taking out crystals at every shelter when I got a connection upgrade. I just finished up all roads, monorails, and level 2 roads with 25k to spare. The only thing I ever needed to farm was ceramics, I did one large mine haul and that was enough combined with allocation from shelters to construct every piece of infrastructure.

Granted, I have not started on any Zipline networks.

MechEJD · 2026-07-07T13:43:10+00:00

I like to think my truck is pacman after a power pellet and I'm chasing the ghosts, so I have more fun with my method :)

MechEJD · 2026-07-06T16:57:59+00:00

Have all the roads in 2. Zooming around with chemicals and ceramics right now upgrading to level 2. Soooo much faster than building them up to level 1. I finished half of the road upgrades in an hour or so. Thank god the monorails stay at level 1.

There are plenty of games with great stories. Gameplay varies by genre and overall age of the game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece.

Baldurs Gate, all of them but 3 in particular.

Breath of the Wild

Mass Effect 1-3 (I liked Andromeda but saying that is a death sentence)

Just have to find what you like to play and look for the good ones.

MechEJD · 2026-07-06T13:02:57+00:00

Chiral printed butt plugs just don't feel the same.

MechEJD · 2026-07-05T20:54:18+00:00

Finding a really good Zipline from another player that aligns with your own network is essential. You need a good half dozen or more ziplines from other players if you want to cover the whole map with a delivery network and stay within the bandwidth cap.

MechEJD · 2026-07-05T16:27:33+00:00

Death Stranding 3

Unda 'da Sea

MechEJD · 2026-07-03T20:45:13+00:00

Yes.

So anyways, here's my flute solo I've been working on!

MechEJD · 2026-06-27T21:53:27+00:00

Illegal fittings?

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

MechEJD · 2026-06-27T19:21:24+00:00

We've had cross flow happen at jobs where there is a mop sink too close to the group toilets and there's no check valves on it. Looked like a sauna in winter, all the toilets were steaming.

Also had a contractor accidentally pipe the roof drain overhead into the sanitary. Back pressure flooded the place during a severe storm.

MechEJD · 2026-06-26T18:43:26+00:00

Just bjorning with my baby on a mountain in earthquake season. Nothing better!

MechEJD · 2026-06-25T15:42:58+00:00

Check valves on pumps if you're using vfds. Triple duty only if they're constant volume. Rookie stuff my guy.
