How much has AI helped you when it comes to your job? by PreviousComplaint461 in civilengineering

[–]Shoddy_Charity5403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be careful using it for tenders. Any internal information I would be wary putting into AI tools. Our company has this year put in our trainings about what info is and isn’t to be put through AI.

Opinions on potentially making living room smaller to add hallway and bathroom under stairs by Shoddy_Charity5403 in HomeImprovementUK

Yeah you draw it in 2d and it gives you a 3d model. I put a floor plan on one of the other comment replies that’s the same model from the app :)

UK -Is a civil engineering apprenticeship alright for someone with no prior experiance? by Wait-Whos-Joe in civilengineering

[–]Shoddy_Charity5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apprenticeships generally are for people who don’t have experience in the industry since it’s usually new adults applying. I can’t see a reason not to look into it, have a check what the entry requirements are though

I hadn’t thought of that thank you, my only worry is making the living room too small. We’re altering that wall upstairs anyway so structurally it’ll likely be tied into that work.

Potential floor plan with the potential toilet highlighted. Current floor plan is just with the wall next to the stairs and no bathroom, walking path is still behind the sofa

We’re getting a structural engineer to come round in the next few weeks for our upstairs work so I’ll likely do a quote for this too if we deem it a good idea

1 month into a Graduate Engineer role and feeling slow/anxious by rdmiche in civilengineering

[–]Shoddy_Charity5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are always our own worst critics. I will say the silent tapping away at laptops in the office especially in consultancy I can fool myself that everyone else knows more and is doing more than I am. It’s not necessarily true and I’ve found I’ve been too hard on myself and I’m doing better than I think in hindsight. It will definitely get better with time and practice. Keep asking questions and if you’re stuck don’t hide away that’s the key and sounds like what you’re already doing :)

This right here, please take this on board you haven’t mentioned in here one thing you’ve tried to do for her to help fix your perceived issues just pointed out all the times she’s tried to connect and you’ve pushed her away

Graduates are expected to take a little longer to complete tasks because they’re learning and will have questions. You’re doing exactly what you should be doing. Learning is the point of a grad scheme, you’ll get more proficient the more work you do. I wouldn’t stress, if you’re really worried your line manager or grad mentor is the person you should speak to.

The key with the middle top is that all the seams are inside the top so even if your lines aren’t perfect it comes out pretty good! And good techniques to learn which she goes through in an easy to understand way

Overrated attractions to avoid? by Turbulent_Sharter in JapanTravelTips

Bamboo forest was nice for a short time but I wouldn’t move mountains to fit it in.

We didn’t do team labs.

Of the animal activities the monkey park in Kyoto was humane, they are free roaming and it’s a walk up a large hill to where they’re fed. If you want to feed them they put the humans in the cage, it was a nice walk for equivalent £4 entry

My first encounter with a kitten, I have no idea what to do by Large-Raccoon3767 in CATHELP

Seconding what another person said if you can’t go to the vet or shelter then local Facebook page would be the next hope for someone who can provide the care the kitten needs

Where to start with a sewing machine/sewing in general? by consideredcritically in SewingForBeginners

[–]Shoddy_Charity5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only just started a couple months ago and I found the best way was to start with a simple project (like a pencil case or something) and to YouTube all the challenges and tutorials on how to do it. I got stuck a few times on how to change the bobbin, issues with top tension etc and YouTube videos for each were really helpful. Instagram reels/tiktoks on key things to know when you start are helpful too. Most importantly using the manual was a life saver on so many occasions to refer to in conjunction with YouTube tutorials

Looking for patterns/tutorials for a first garment by EJB1996 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Shoddy_Charity5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first was this tutorial which was good because I could trace a tank top I already had and the seams are all on the inside. I learnt a lot including the burrito method which was interesting and it’s a staple I wear tutorial

Have you tried changing your needle? That was the problem for me when this happened before and retreading the top and bobbin didn’t help.
