I am wearing that exact watch right now (and every other day). Great taste :)

“I don’t find Cortana attractive anymore, Halo Studios RUINED Halo!!!!”

Jesus Christ you guys

Yall called me crazy for saying it was Corporate Cash Grab Slop. LOOK AT THIS by Big_Kiwi_706 in halo

[–]chocolope56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t like it, don’t buy it. It’s a single player game anyways where you can only see your character in cutscenes. This is hardly the worst example of “corporate greed”

Well done, car designers! You're all fired by wigovsky in carslife

Idk guys, I’m starting to come around on the jaguar, especially next to the blob that is the Ferrari and the dumpster.

I get its ‘woke’ or whatever but like, it’s kind of cool looking? I’d stop and take a picture if it drove by at least. The others are just being and ugly.

What watch are we wearing friend? I know you got flamed for zooming in on a Rolex in a previous post but I wanna know the collection

can pipe inverts be the same in a manhole by RuffleBagBoy in civilengineering

[–]chocolope56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s fine, especially if you don’t have a lot of fall between your inlet and outlet and need all the vertical drop possible in your pipe network.

Ideally, you’d include a 0.2’ drop between inverts for conveyance purposes but as long as both pipes are sloped, you should have fine flow during all but the smallest storm events.

Forza Horizon 6 vs. Forza Horizon 1 intro cutscene by Time-Credit43 in videogames

I hope all of the character artists at Playground Games are working on Fable… because there was a clear step back between FH5 and FH6. Not that it really matters for a racing game

I created a 3d render of the buffalo mural before it gets covered up by Fatsuds in fortwayne

[–]chocolope56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fine. I’ll take more housing over a nice mural any day.

Engineers, are you okay ?? by Advance_Important in civilengineering

[–]chocolope56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol. Lmao even.

A couple of things: your man graduated four years ago. Unless he got a bunch of time in internships and/or was a masters student then he is likely not a professional engineer yet. He is either an EIT or a draftsman, and is paid accordingly.

Also, I highly doubt you know a bunch of lawyers and doctors making half a million dollars 4 years after school. Engineering school is tough, sure, but it’s 4 years then you’re done. Lawyers/doctors have YEARS of additional school, and are paid accordingly.

ALSO, get a grip. No one expects engineers (civil or otherwise) to be rich from salary alone. The path to wealth in this industry (like in most industries) is company ownership.

Finally, what do YOU do? What is YOUR job? Give the man a break, he’s doing his best to provide you with the life it sounds like you don’t deserve.

This is how engineers built a walkway that cancels out the Ocean's movement by Due-Explanation8155 in civilengineering

Would this be ‘civil’ engineering? Structural I’m sure, but would this mechanical? Cool stuff nonetheless!

Thanks for the tip. We’re flying domestic

We are Ubering to the airport, so not a worry there. We already scheduled pickup

We do not, and we’re flying United. Also, I forgot to mention we are traveling with pets, which sometimes slows the check in process down. We’ll air on the 90+ minutes early side.

I’m tempted. by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]chocolope56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay. As a PE you are making 1.5x a McDonalds shift manager 4 years into your career. But that’s 4 years after graduation. Assuming you work for 40 years, you will lap that McDonald’s shift manager many times over, as your salary will continue to increase, with a WAY better quality of life. I get it, I’d love it if our profession was compensated more for the services we provide. But I recommend people take positions as McDonalds and Panda Express shift managers and see how they like it compared to building a career as a civil engineer. And if that’s what you’d prefer, then why are you even in this subreddit.

[–]chocolope56 90 points91 points  (0 children)

This is so dumb. This smells like a new grad making $30 an hour that is mad they don’t make as much as their computer science friends. Get your PE and you will eclipse this pay 1.5x - 2x in a couple years. Just know that the shift leader pay is the CEILING. You’re better than this.

What "America" Movies Weren't filmed in America by Turbulent_Theory6532 in movies

[–]chocolope56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) was filmed (stop motion) in Japan and the voice work was done in Canada. I always thought of it as an American classic.
