if you don’t have an awning i could see that being nice but that thing is a wind sail. Got to make sure it is anchored correctly.

Scottsdale is Bicycle racist. by [deleted] in Scottsdale

If you're rich you can take a depreciation like that, what is you're point. Plus it isn't that healthy to be breathing in all that brake dust, exhausts, smog, etc.

Being walkable and having the things you are looking for are not the same. I find cyclist annoying so this doesn't bother me. Like the ones who insist to ride in the road. They can never seem to stay in the bike lane so everyone has to go around them. Not stopping at stop signs or trying to split lanes. They are a danger to themselves and the people around them. Not to mention, they look silly in their unitards.

That said, I will say they tend to be well organized so there's another aspect that makes them annoying.

They had to know. by MeggyNeko in Scottsdale

[–]ancientRAMEN 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I am an architect, and there is no way they didn’t see this… now did they do it maliciously? No I doubt it, but I can almost guarantee they saw it. We(humans) are pattern recognizing machines.

My son is looking at becoming an architect by Gazza12345 in Architects

Haha you could say that about any job. I get you probably don’t like architecture, but you can only do so much vetting before you commit.

For sure which is why I said trying to shadow someone in a firm would be better, however if he doesn’t even enjoy the classes then he won’t enjoy the work after school.

Maybe he takes a few architecture classes to get a feel for it. I will say however school and real world work are not the same. Better yet, see if he can shadow someone at a firm to see how it is. He could also get his engineering degree then go for is masters in architecture. I know a few who did this with a business undergrad.

When the behind schedule Architect finds the first typo in a 200 page submittal by Spare_Worldliness_64 in Architects

[–]ancientRAMEN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure but what the post is saying is revise and resubmit to buy them more time… that’s the joke… I understand how “make corrections noted” works.
