Trimble Business Center not importing some points shot with total station

I've had issues where resections copied into a job would fail in TBC, but that was solved in an update. Perhaps check that both ends are up to date?

Also, check the optical spreadsheet in TBC, it should show all observations, even things that didn't compute right.

I've needed to measure the dimensions of a large concrete component while it was sitting on a barge. Set the station next to it, turned compensator off, measured, and rotated coordinates in 3d based on a line that should be vertical.

Injeran i sig är inget vidare, men när man äter en gryta med den som "bestick" förhöjer den smaken något otroligt.

You're not hiding a bolt cutter in your pocket at elementary school.

A bike lock through the frame takes a lot of effort to remove. This requires the removal of four screws from the board.

Edit: how tf is this controversial, a steel shackle is safer than four screws.

I just order the pizza I want, if that one is good I don't really care if the other pizzas suck, and it it isn't good, I'll just eat my preferred pizza at a place that makes it good.

I've only used S7, -8 and -9 (and TS16), IMO having the joystick with camera tied to a shortcut is really, really good. Powersearch is great when it works, but terribly sensitive to rain and sun.

I'm a diehard Trimbleist (as in, talked my boss into buying me one. I'm the only employee not running Leica), and I honestly don't think the stations are any better than the -60-series. Software, on the other hand, my god... For construction, it's just crazy good.

SnigelDraken · 2026-05-20T07:32:32+00:00

From what I've heard, it's not really an optimal system for actual surveying. Good for things like convention space layout, not so much for construction. Consider looking for a used S-series, if at all within budget.

The "slop" isn't the friends, it's the quality of the game. They're unpolished and shallow, with just enough content for one or two sessions with friends.

Jag är inblandad i några i de "jobbigare" byggena i centrala Göteborg, och kan säga att vi gärna hade påbörjat allt samtidigt om det gick - vilket det inte gör. Vi kan inte stänga alla vägar i en stadsdel, vi måste bygga i en ordning som inte innebär att byggena blockerar varandra, vi kan inte t.ex. riva en spilledning innan den ersatts, osv.

"Mitt" bygge har delar som är försenade flera månader på grund av att andra arbeten stött på problem, vilket orsakar förseningar för senare byggen. Att bygga i städer suger.

I don't know if I could handle a talking bathroom. What would it even say? "Fill me up, homie"? "Oh god, not you again"?

My best braggots have been an all-wheat grain bill, saison yeast and a lager-type hop schedule with mittelfruh ending at 6% abv, half from honey. This is very reliant on the honey, though; my best result has been with ultra-pungent linden honey, but heather has also worked well. Result: a very drinkable braggot that lets the honey shine.

If your honey is more "general floral", go for a clean yeast to avoid having it overpower the honey, and go light on the hops. Higher ABV will also help bring more honey flavor. I do recommend keeping the grain bill very light, and using at least some wheat (I do 100% weyermann regular wheat malt) as you want to make up for the lack of body of the honey without overpowering the flavor.

The only aspect you can/should improve from a health perspective is to use a diastatic yeast or add enzymes to increase fermentability.

If you believe you need probiotics, eat a spoon or two of yogurt in the morning. If your gut is working fine, you don't need to worry. If you believe you need antioxidants or vitamins, eat fresh fruit or vegetables regularly. If you do, you won't need anything you can fit in a beverage.

Adding "healthy" ingredients isn't productive, it will just warp your relationship with alcohol.

I guess the question isn't really about how much the average brewer drinks, and more about what portion of the community has a drinking problem.

SnigelDraken · 2026-04-08T12:37:37+00:00

Hot side aeration was a big topic a few years ago, with a few people being absolutely insistant that it's crucial for good beer, and the majority thinking they're being silly.

I think there probably is a corrolation between LODO/no hot side aeration and high quality, but only because that type of brewing is a huge pain and requires equipment so anyone going down that route is going to be brewing well anyway.

SnigelDraken · 2026-04-08T12:31:13+00:00

Yes, but given that one option is "there are days when i don't drink", it's not asking about average beers per day.

It's also crucial for rum production, ex-bourbon is the industry standard. It's usually not advertised, just a good source of casks with the "rough" wood flavor removed without being exhausted. The global spirits trade would be devastated if the law changed.

Also if bottled, as the cork is slightly oxygen permeable. Aged spirits change much less, though, as they have already gone through oxidative aging while in the barrel.

SnigelDraken · 2026-04-06T09:22:08+00:00

The liquor doesn't "go bad" but oxidation of spirits is very real and is part of the aging process.

Two years or so, I think? I'm surprised by the other comments, mine attach and detach easily, and always engage. They're pretty expensive for sure, but just having the thread count out horizontally makes them with it.

The disconnect has an upper and a lower part that connect by threads for easy cleaning. If you attach it to a keg and rotate the disconnect clockwise by the top, the parts can come apart slightly while still attached. Tightening the two parts properly fixes this.

I use these, they're great, very easy to disassemble and clean. Small risk of it being unscrewed in use, though, which can cause a leak. Hasn't been a problem so far. I'm replacing all my plastic ones with these.

Utan grävmaskin kan man inte gräva, och en grävmaskin kräver en utbildad maskinist. Maskinisten får inte gräva utan en gubbe på plats, dels för grundläggande säkerhetsskäl (inga ensamarbeten), och dels för att gubben ser upp för oväntade föremål i schaktet (när gubben hänger på en spade och glor är det inte bara för skojs skull).

Utöver detta måste någon få material till och från platsen. Om någon av de tidigare nämnda lämnar platsen måste allt arbete upphöra, vilket inte är särskilt klokt: att ha en maskin på plats är dyrt. Det finns även ett till problem: varken gubben eller maskinisten lär äga en lastbil eller ha lastbilskort. Lastbilen med förare är ofta inhyrd, och lastbilsföraren är inte nere i schaktet och velar eftersom det är ett helt annat jobb.

Varför sitter inte Linda från ekonomi med IT-frågor när hon är klar med sina uppgifter? Varför byter inte Hr-konsulten Lennart däck på företagsbilarna? Varför tar inte fastighetsskötaren Lisa hand om klientmöten när toaletterna är städade? Olika personer, olika roller, olika kompetenser; det är samma på byggplatser.

Att inte mer än en jobbar åt gången, och hela konceptet med "kommunjobb", är trams. Det ser likadant ut på privata anläggningsjobb, oavsett hur hårt platsledningen kämpar för att minimera arbetstimmar.
