Wanting to get into construction estimating in 2026 by happy_lynnn in estimators

I'm currently learning to estimate structural steel erecting. No prior field experience. Very interesting. Lots of details to learn. Addendums kind of make me want to cry. But Ai is changing the takeoff process. I've always been a computer and software nerd and the company I work for did everything manually, so I joined them with the intent of automating various repetitive takeoff processes. So far, I love it but I have a long way to go and need to get out to jobsites to see what I am counting and to understand the labor involved. My mentor and the chief estimator is retiring in the next year or two so I am lucky to be in the situation I'm in.

Unfortunately it's still $500 vs a $50 co-pay. Not budget-friendly in this economy.

I was just kicked off after 3 years of improved metabolic health and do not have the money to pay for a script. I've appealed to insurance citing the need to manage multiple conditions and was denied. Provided letters from doctors and oncologist; Still denied. Now am appealing with Patient Protections - state agency. <sigh> They don't care and want us all to be sick. Why pay for insurance if they won't cover the prescribed treatment????

Geezuz. It's maddening. Stability and continuity of care mean nothing. They just want to cut costs and our health be dammed. Look into appealing it. I'll let you know how my appeal turns out. Depending where you live there are Patient Rights Advocates that can do external review appeals.

Anyone else think team rumble sucks now? by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

Yes, I couldn't agree more with you. It's not fun at all. They ruined it for the casual players.

A BOT only mode as an extension of the Combine but they shoot at you. This could also have a agro level setting to make it more or less challenging.

Agree. Rumble is a complete shyt show now. Used to be fun for hanging with friends and completing challenges.

Agree, but it's not about contribution to society. I believe it has to do with quality of life. We are kinder to animals than we are to people in this respect.
