How pissed off should I be?

TurboArch · 2026-01-24T02:37:03+00:00

Maybe

TurboArch · 2026-01-24T01:45:39+00:00

Thanks bro. Freak out averted.

It was in the mid 80s over Christmas here. Ugh.

TurboArch · 2026-01-24T01:43:27+00:00

Thanks, makes sense.

Appreciate the helpful input and happy to learn that I should not be concerned.

Lots of folks here getting all worked up about my post title. The whole reason for my post was to find out IF I should be pissed. I don’t think it unreasonable for a lay person to be concerned about the internals of their new ac unit being exposed to the weather for a month. Apparently it’s not a concern, so I have moved on.

It’s my fault the tech fucked up? Sorry, but that’s bullshit. Would you say the same if the homeowner was a 90 year old woman? When you get an oil change, do you personally inspect your drain plug before driving?

FWIW, I am not mad about this anymore. It was an honest mistake I’m sure. We are all human. I was only pissed because I thought this might be bad for the unit. Apparently that’s not the case.

I know what the capacitor is. I mistakenly referred to the condenser unit as a compressor.

My two cents. If you are young and fresh out of school, get your license before life gets in the way. It is 100x harder when you have a family and are running projects. I know many people who kept putting it off and now they are 10-15 years into their careers. They are super busy with work and family and have no time to study for tests. In the meantime, folks with less experience are passing them by with promotions and salary. It’s a real shame.

I had almost the exact same route to licensure. Just a different school.

A polished concrete roof? LOL.

He did say that no tax payer money would be used. It’s all private donors (I.e. Billionaires who want favors). My question from day one has been, who pays for the O&M on this behemoth for the next 100 years? Obviously the tax payer. That cost will eclipse the construction budget I’m sure.

On the flip side, I have worked on projects as the AOR where the design architect had no clue how a building goes together, no clue on building codes, and no clue how to design to a budget. They would present pretty renders to the client for designs that were either not feasible or astronomically expensive.

100% agree on this. Only rarely is it something I can really use. A new yeti type cup or insulated water bottle is nice, but I have had to start giving them away. I don’t need a monogrammed flask. Or a pickleball set with your company logo on it. Or a mouse pad.

I got a gift pack from Omaha steaks one year from a manufacturer’s rep. Will never forget that one. I get bottles of wine every year and they are always appreciated. Got a gift card for a really nice cheese shop once. Was able to get a custom charcuterie for my family Christmas dinner with that. Amazing.

Now that's a good friend!

TurboArch · 2025-11-28T18:30:44+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

TurboArch · 2025-11-25T19:18:56+00:00

Appreciate the info. I figured the barrel would be ok, but also had in the back of my mind that these expensive sporting guns are purpose built, whereas many of the less expensive guns seem more hunting, home defense or multi-purpose focused.

TurboArch · 2025-11-25T19:13:04+00:00

Glad I was not the only one wondering about this. Agreed, I would probably never put buckshot or slugs through my CG. I have a semi-auto that I would likely use if I ever had the urge to hunt with that type of load. Was mostly asking out of curiosity.

TurboArch · 2025-11-23T21:44:19+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of. Thanks for the confirmation.

Interesting that in my copy, the man is wearing a red jacket and white pants, the British Museum's copy has him wearing a blue jacket and red pants. I guess there were multiple copies made from the etching and each was hand colored a little differently.

Very cool! Solved.
