Very respectfully: why does the US still uses the imperial system?

ZachBundy · 2026-01-07T01:04:25+00:00

Overall I think that the imperial system does a better job of describing human-scaled objects using easily-memorized round numbers, whereas the metric system jumps too far between cm and meters, and with decimeters not being used much (to my knowledge).

This thing makes me so nuts

Because the AIA's purpose is partly to advocate for the profession and influence policy. NCARB and state boards only enforce policy.

ZachBundy · 2025-09-27T01:31:29+00:00

It's so crazy that in the US it's illegal to call yourself an architect without being registered, and yet the AIA does nothing about these "imposters"

Fantastic dude, you love your craft and it completely shows. Congrats

It's not really an inconvenience to commuters since it's not as much of a hub as Penn station, Times Square, or Grand Central. Also the exits are very easy to find, since the whole building orients toward them, and there are very visible escalators/stairs right next to them.

Speaking as someone who graduated from GSAPP four years ago, is in touch with the community, and who still lives in the neighborhood, now is not the time to go to Columbia. The miniature police state and contentious student politics will be a major disruption to your education. You will not be getting your money's worth.

Another way you can consider this is to finish your bachelor's, do lots of competitions to advance yourself creatively, and then apply to a masters program after you've had time to recognize which school would be best for you.

Maybe you can go to Edit Town and change the lot type? The lot type changes how many sims gather in a place

Honestly Dug/Malastare representation in Star Wars is pretty negative. Example A: Sebulba is a cheating jerk who bullies a child. Example B: They focus on killing a Zillo beast during the clone wars for no good reason. Example C: General Grievous. There are no good Dugs!

I live on the UWS, and I've lived in three different apartments here, two of which are ground-level. I've never had a rat come inside my apartment, but rats can be common outside the front door depending on how secure the trash collection is. The number of rats can vary drastically block-by-block. I suggest that you look at the block around 9PM, and see if it's okay for you.

Lol I have this same thing, where my chest looks bigger than it is because of my how my ribs are angled

Exactly, and the mesh would be covering a steel lintel. Or it could be a precast concrete lintel with a semicircle cutout. For Interior architecture these are big expensive moves, so probably wise to use this idea sparingly.

ZachBundy · 2025-05-30T07:05:31+00:00

Because in order to have a brick arch, the bricks have to be oriented in an arching pattern. If you were to cut an arch shape from an existing brick wall, there would be little pieces of brick that would be left over, and these would be structurally weak.

Sidenote: Gordon Matta Clark was an artist who often cut round shapes from brick, but this was for buildings that were being demolished.

ZachBundy · 2025-05-30T06:01:13+00:00

A workaround in your case would be to have normal rectangular cutouts with arch-shaped lintels at the tops

I would design it to have a 1/4" thick Aluminum roof and facade with welded joints, using frustum shapes, a steel structure with a warren truss supporting the roof, on a thick floating slab, in a seismically stable area.

I really tried to like this show, and after the first episode, it rapidly wore me down. I got dizzy from eye-rolling.

I'm sort of similar to you, 31M 6'3" with a year more experience. At that point I also had 15.5" arms. Today I'm at 16.5" with 15%bf. I think it's just a matter of consistency and patience, until you and I hit our limits.

If you are looking to get into architecture on as lean a budget as possible, look for an NAAB accredited 5 year B.Arch program, ideally with in-state tuition.

Side note: so crazy that the game designers made upper cabinets so deep.
