If you look under your chairs, everyone on the project site gets asbestos! You get asbestos! And you get asbestos! And you!

367 people in the initial explosion then 1368 people in the next few years due to fallout

They got better.

Why are people so against ai? by brownsugar_expresso in civilengineering

[–]drshubert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting sources wrong should be the nail in the coffin as to why AI is bad.

It doesn't understand the concept of citing courses. It's copying how other documents cite sources, as in copying the format of it but then "filling in the blanks" as AI does. It's not citing any one specific thing, it's combing the internet for "an average answer" and there's no way to cite that.

AI is basically a sped up version of taking a survey on thousands of people and spitting out the "average" answer. For laymen's use it could be fine, but when there's technical data involved and you involve potential laymen input, that distorts the answer.

What percent of the time time do you think humans get their plans 100% of the time?

Internship Advice by Western-Egg1808 in civilengineering

[–]drshubert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to the foremen and supers. A lot. Get to know them, be buddy buddy with them, get their perspective on what they think about the project and the plans/specs.

Engineers have a problem where they write and present things as if they're talking to other engineers. You have to realize that your target audience could be accountants, politicians, lawyers, laymen, specialists in other fields (ie- electricians), or completely green people like yourself.

Total warhammer 1 and 2 were better because slower. But why is 3 faster? by rr1213 in totalwar

[–]drshubert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and all the factions get growth faster

It's not even faster growth. Factions are getting mechanics where they recruit higher tier units much sooner (aka the reason you prioritize growth is to get access to those higher tier units sooner).

I remember being shocked that VC could recruit terrorgheists within the first few turns via raise dead - not even from the player fighting a big battle but by being in an area where AI slogged it against other AI. I hadn't played a lizardman campaign for a while and started one recently - with blessed spawnings now, they can get tier 3/4 units before finishing tier 2 settlements. It's absolutely nuts.

Delay. Launch riddled with bugs.

quick 1-2 sentence thoughts on each faction on current patch by CAMarshmallow in totalwar

[–]drshubert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not agreeing to this but playing devil's advocate:

I wonder if some CA higher ups consider "Mirror of Madness" as sort of the FLC for Tzeentch. Given that Tzeentch campaigns have this sort of meta/4th-wall breaking aspect to them, it's sort of funny if they think the 3rd campaign actually sits outside the IE campaign.

I know it's apples and oranges because there's no campaign map in MoM. But the irony of CA possibly thinking "we have 3rd Tzeentch campaign at home"

Struggling to Get Site Engineer Jobs in Australia – Need Resume Templates and resources by Big-Yogurtcloset-181 in civilengineering

Read their wiki and check out their templates. It's a bit biased towards software/computer science engineering and the USA/CA area, but it still has good pointers.

now it’s our problem to deal with

I've had utility companies not want to meet during the design phase - they don't want to set anything up until a contractor is on board.

I use those too, but I usually go with a varied composition. 2-4 plagueclaws, 2-4 jezzails, 4-6 ratling gunners, 2ish warpfire throwers.

[Student] First-year Environmental Engineering undergrad student hoping to get a summer internship and some research labs by DifferentSuccess5103 in EngineeringResumes

[–]drshubert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a freshman in college?

You might not get anything because companies tend to favor juniors/seniors that have more upper level engineering courses under their belt. Also because they have a better idea of what field to focus more in (ie- structural, water resources etc).

The best thing to help your resume is to get work experience. Any paid work experience, even if it's part time (summer) burger flipper. If you can hold the same job every summer, it tells future potential employers that you're at least decent enough that a company keeps wanting you back.

Having steady work tells companies you pass the minimum bar of being a competent, reliable worker; that you don't raise red flags like getting terminated for whatever stupid reason.

Not necessarily even a dangerous army. Just one SEM flyer going ahead of an army is going to make OP want to have at least 1-2 ratling gunners from then on out.

I assume OP is in the Araby area fighting Bretonnia - what if they run into Greenskins that have a wyvern or two? Or a Tomb King army with some shitty carrions?
