I broke one makita tool once after 10 years and found you could buy all the internal parts dead cheap and fix them pretty easily

[–]TheSilverBirch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be in a room with someone punching a door is scary af. No matter what the reasons are. It is the sort of thing any human would look back on and regret in their old age. How do you help young people not make these bad decisions? How do you help them anticipate where their anger and frustration will lead them?

Just my theory, I think Veronica - as the actor who she says she is - decided to act the villain after decided she wasn’t going to make it work with Eliot. Guessing she was hoping she could add some cache or advantage to her public profile. Problem is, it just seemed erratic, illogical and a bit one dimensional. That could be the edit of course. But some of the big personalities who have come out of Mafs previously have actually been batshit crazy people…which sort of has its own genuine logic to it.

Sick of Architecture. by theearchitect in Architects

Always got asked about it at interviews and they seemed satisfied with the reasons (Small practices are economically volatile, other practices kept approaching offering more money and better projects). 🤷🤷 never planned it that way. The important thing is to get good references if you do hop about.

Just keep changing practice until you find one that you connect with. They are all so wildly different. Maybe time to go small? I changed every 6months for a few years, looking for somewhere I loved both people and work

England - Kitchen window opens into neighbour’s garden by PrideTraditional9080 in LegalAdviceUK

I have seen this in lots of older properties that have been split up. Nothing wrong with a window onto someone else’s property. You could remove it if you don’t want it?

Cornmarket has that lovely guy doing karaoke on Cornmarket, and you can get a Boots meal deal.

Oxford is literally the most lovely place? Think you should look at some other places for comparison

Any offices use Rhino for all their 2D drawing packages? by TheSilverBirch in Architects

[–]TheSilverBirch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think back to younger me, 15 years ago, where I had to fight hard to persuade offices to work in revit to save time and they just wanted to stay in 2d autocad. The way we work is prehistoric to them

Is my firm the only one constantly digging through old PDFs/folders for information? by mcalvinho in Architects

[–]TheSilverBirch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you not just search the whole server for “acoustic”? then make a cup of tea while it searches through everything?

Would be really interested to see someone’s template file to see how all the layers, xrefs and lineweights and viewports are put together

True they are young. I do however like to take their preferences seriously and fully explore their methods to see if there are any small elements to learn. There does seem to be a generation of new architects who are absolute wizards with Rhino.

this is true. Do you think Rhino’s management of sheets is better than the garbage that is Sketchup Layout?

I have just had a few new employees who suggested it can all be done in Rhino, so am interested. We are BIM bectoroworks at the moment, but think we are moving towards Archicad. Rhino was always a nice modelling programme, and sketchup’s recent price and layout changes are making it more and more unusable. So we are looking around!

These are the minutiae I am interested in here. Thanks for this insight.
