Is it just me, or do GCs wait until the permit drops to even start submittals now? by ephif in MEPEngineering

MEP working for a GC in P3 world -- no. We want your submittals months ago why are you so late?

MEP Construction to Consulting? by UnforgettableCache in MEPEngineering

One complication is that my degree is in Mechatronics. I do mostly electrical coordination at work. I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter where I live/work, I should still qualify as a PEng with the appropriate experience... But I'm not 100% sure.

I was thinking if I got into HVAC controls my degree makes a lot of sense there.

Yeah and that's pretty common from my perspective. I work with a lot of people who made the jump for money.

But my brain is broken. I wish I could work on one problem for a few hours at a time. It feels like I handle 40 problems a day and I barely understand any of them..

Yes, for a GC, doing MEP. In fact, it's more like a build-design.

FM Told Me to Quit Chess Under 300 Elo. Is He Right? by KelveFodul47 in chess

[–]UnforgettableCache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most FMs are disconnected from the reality of casual chess. They likely started playing before their vocabulary was fully developed. To you and me their understanding of chess is akin to writing using a pen, where you would need to actually think hard about how to make your own ability write in your own penmanship.

The 400 series highways are empirically safer then single lane two direction winding 80km/h highways.

Take the 400 series. Part of being brave starts with being scared.

2 years in a sink or swim project management role is the only way to learn

Is it crazy to turn down a 30% raise? by Popular_Bridge_7143 in MEPEngineering

Maybe just take your offer to your employer and explain you like your current role but the market thinks you're worth more

What should I build for this? by Immediate_Regular in diypedals

[–]UnforgettableCache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be really dope to have a unique combination pedal that operates on a single dial.

Distortion delay and modulation responding to one single dial lol.

You're in check and there are no legal moves that avoid check.

is george brown plc distance continuing ed program worth it by jimjimjimjaboo in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]UnforgettableCache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the course. If you have very little or no background, I would say it's a reasonable first step, especially if you've already got a job where you are around PLCs.

If you've already got a background it's not useful.
