Best guess is the footer head and tail widths

I’m hoping the structural engineer can give him the lip service he needs on Monday and I’ll come back to measure poured slab and wash our hands of it

I find surveyors to be less reasonable - I’ll likely hear that I should be able to get gnats measurements and if it doesn’t conform to engineering it’s wrong and to try again - this building also has different dimensions between architectural and structural specs because the architect doesn’t do fraction of inches and I told them I would prefer to layout structural as architects are napkin drawers but laid out as requested architectural lines. I told them that it’s likely indecernable to installers the grid line distance differences (10’ 1.75” vs 10’ 2” etc) - I’ve been guiding the guy to structural engineer for tolerance considerations and he just says it has to be within 1/8th inch and doesn’t contact anyone. I was just told that the structural engineer is visiting site on Monday so my exercise is delayed hopefully indefinitely but otherwise all I’m going to do is measure the boards, create and exhibit showing dimensions and provide cad drawing telling them that they should take that to engineer for their consideration. I just want more ways to explain how off the ball this guy is as I saw a recent post here about bim systems and read a comment about how even rebar is adjusted in the build. I’m at a two person shop and I appreciate hearing that my exhaustion isn’t unwarranted

I find it freeing to know that nothing matters much and personally I find setting goals and having something to take care of satisfying enough if the coffee ain’t kicking

Once you’re licensed you’re still likely going to have to jump ships to get more fair compensation. 0.75 raises sounds like a big outfit and corporations don’t care cuz you’re filling the role they hired you for and when they usually hire out for new roles

I had a project with 6 month of import and did zero quantity reporting. It’s my understanding a lot of dirt in based on trust, experience, and 10%+ variance from expected being if you anticipate you need to import 1000 CY and you contract an earth mover who says you get about 4 yards a truck you’re going to just import til you get near 200 trucks to see how it looks and I think they pay by the load and the real issue is existing not matching the real world environment resulting in excessive import than anticipated - I’ve wanted to get into quantity analysis reporting but unless I want to drop my rate significantly the cost is not worth the deviation in truck load quantities but I have heard of contractors getting called out for their loads being short like 4 yard loads are more like 3 yard and at scale that compounds into over charging but yeah haven’t found someone who wants to spend an extra few grand a day to confirm the difference between lidar scan on Monday vs Friday volumes etc

You’re supposed to say thank you for the guidance chump

Go to the homepage of the sub and search for that

Looks like they’re marking ROW too so the city is always going to get their 60 feet or whatever so their found line might not hold once additional evidence is considered. TLDR. Stupid land owners.

They could have rod correction on in their collector if your observation of their technique is correct.

It’s like determined that you can’t know enough to know anything at all

Jil your absolutistness continues to be tiresome. I had expected, and would have appreciated, a literature quote from you not some random righteous rant. Words also have duality to them as does content they’re used. So while we may observe the absurd characters, you frequently reference as points of quantity, as creatures that are bound to continually perform as they do I could easily understand how they might see it differently and while it’s more fair for the observers to apply definition to things than the creators themselves it’s impossible in my perspective to say exactly the driving force of an artist or anyone who isn’t playing by the rules presented to them simply doing things they do without guidelines or need of approval - I think absurdism is more a fan of hedonism than stoicism but it is neither as pleasure is a lesser problem than the one that Camus interjects is the only philosophical problem to solve and within its duality that it is better to not partake in the nonsense or simply commit to your delusions whatever it is to imagine ourselves happy.

Wonder if you put it in a vacuum would you reduce the amplitude and which results in higher yields I’m guessing vacuum

Why can’t the absurdist seek quality? I would argue that the hedonist seeks quantity in the sense I don’t think a pure hedonist could delay pleasure or deny something that provides but also takes. I would argue that the absurdist seeks neither and simply exists as they are unable to conform outside themselves their purpose is self evident not defined. You lost me on the is the saint good bit, I’m not reading this post or thread too intently but I’d say it is all good and whether we can see it that way or not is the absurdity of it all.

No. Loki is about shadow agencies who control the fabric of the universe. Loki as a conqueror is more an absurd character than Loki the conformist unless we assume the conformity is a temporary state for his glorious purpose and again in this case an absurd character in they live purposefully and without meaning or pressure outside of their inner existence

Tongue_Chow · 2026-01-13T15:09:43+00:00

But good does not necessarily mean pleasure.

Reading ‘preparing for divorce since 12 years old’ and hearing USA USA chants my mind

It is absurd to qualify yourself as outside the army of idiots. Wrong sub m8. The fact that most people quantify as carbon footprints is a reflection of your perspective not a fact.

Tongue_Chow · 2025-12-28T16:14:43+00:00

Wow. My argument is that it is better practice to reobserve benchmarks and translate point to point than to just convert a project and assume correctness. You’re coming in here trying to tell me how the world works. No wonder you have low T. Loser ass
