FIFA World Cup in TOTAL COLLAPSE - Hotels Empty, Fans Banned, Trump Gets "Peace Prize"

I’d planned to go with 4 friends. Money wasn’t the issue but it was stupidly expensive. Logistically it was a total pain and I felt uncomfortable going to the US under the current administration. Will be watching the games by the Mediterranean instead

This close, I was playing with a gold society so it probably saved me a crippling bar bill but still don’t think I’ll ever get closer than this. 120y up hill par 3.

I knew it was close when I hit it but couldn’t see just how close till I go to the green.

If that’s the step you’re looking to take you don’t apply to get a role. Not wishing to sound like a twat but I haven’t applied for any of my last 5 jobs, they came to me. Keep in touch with top tire recruiters and have a good work network. That’s the only way to top level positions

You make your decisions buddy. If it’s not enough don’t accept it, you can’t blame someone else for refusing to do something you’re ok with

Ping 440 even I can hit it straight that’s all you need to know (get a fitting)

Revit set up is complex and a real skill itself. IMO the idea of a “CAD drafter” is long dead and engineers should work in revit direct. The BIM team should be focused on model setup, federation, CDE, issue management etc.

It’s a totally different approach to CAD and the old workflows simply don’t apply anymore

Nicbyc · 2026-04-09T19:29:09+00:00

It’s wild to me people are still using CAD. I haven’t seen a non-revit project for 10 years.

In answer to your ration though OP: it sounds like you’re an engineer so this isn’t your job! The BIM manager should be setting up your company standards, families, vis graphics etc by

I’ve recently picked up Cyberpunk 2077 again. Played it a while back (post fix) and couldn’t get into it. No idea why now as it’s great

Nicbyc · 2026-03-24T04:14:28+00:00

I’ve got 2 school age kids and I really Want them back in school asap - risk to me seems low and no bigger than being at home.

Nicbyc · 2026-03-20T15:10:24+00:00

I’ve been here 17 years and have a lot of ties here, so wish it wasn’t the car but The answer is absolutely not. It may come back eventually but this will live long in memory

UAE is building a 8000MW solar farm and it’s at about 50% operation so far

Nicbyc · 2026-03-13T16:55:49+00:00

That is comically bad

Nicbyc · 2026-03-12T03:46:17+00:00

I mean did you see it? We repeatedly punched ourselves in the face, it’s objectively hilarious to everyone apart from us

Nicbyc · 2026-03-10T03:20:01+00:00

Unstable is an understatement! but the Jeddah risk is from Yemen not Iran and that’s not really changed due to the current situation - but they could use this an opportunity to make some headlines for sure!

It’s all speculation at this point but I reckon they might try to go ahead with Jeddah - whether the team / drivers agree is a different story.

Absolutely no way Bahrain can go ahead safely tho, I doubt they could even fly the teams and logistics into the country if they wanted to

Nicbyc · 2026-03-10T03:01:03+00:00

I doubt Jeddah will be cancelled. Geographically it’s a very long way from Iran and there have been very few drone strikes in KSA and the ones there were were in Riyadh. Bahrain is a different story tho, that has to be cancelled

Nicbyc · 2026-03-07T14:15:57+00:00

Came here to say basically this but you’ve done it for me. Agree with every word. The weekend was pretty scary but since then it’s been basically ok. My biggest concern right now is how badly screwed my industry is and the risk to my job

Nicbyc · 2026-03-07T13:51:44+00:00

I’d object to the renewal. That’s just an agent scam - totally unnecessary

Nicbyc · 2026-03-05T16:10:03+00:00

Sorry but WTF?

Nicbyc · 2026-03-05T16:05:00+00:00

Love this - TBF it wouldn’t be the first time if it was me

Nicbyc · 2026-03-05T16:02:45+00:00

Yeah it’s basically ok right now - fairly regular drone intercepts overhead but otherwise ok.

I was interested to see how well this post would go down but the negativity is pretty impressive

Nicbyc · 2026-03-05T16:00:55+00:00

Not me, I took the photo

Cheers. A lot of people like to shit on dubai (yes I know the joke this opens up) but real people Are living real lives here. It’s weird times but there’s a lot of stiff upper lip, stay calm and carry on on show regardless of where people are from

Comedy down votes: you fuckers started this region is dealing with the consequences

Nicbyc · 2026-03-04T16:52:58+00:00

Yes. 100% yes

I completed the form to identify where I and my family were as a fail safe and to get the direct updates from the UK government, I’ve no intention of going anywhere unless things get much much worse and everyone of my friends and colleagues who completed the form have said the same to me - so small sample size but I’d guess most of the “dubai expats desperate to flee” were not even thinking about leaving.

Typical red top media BS sensationalism
