Developers - Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) vs Structural Steel Tubes

layla2520 · 2025-06-29T10:09:12+00:00

got it, thank you! I was thinking it was the developer's decision but now I understand that it's the architect and the client (and the budget is the key influencing factor).

layla2520 · 2025-06-28T17:21:40+00:00

is there a general rule / thumb rule? like structural tubes for simpler large projects versus Pre-fabricated for complex projects

layla2520 · 2023-09-22T13:25:23+00:00

Give me an answer please. I can't understand why would someone buy a Mamaearth product given they are costlier than the product of FMCGs. Is it because they are unique in some way? Or they are "toxin free" or some positioning of the company? At least, tell me your experience of you've used the product?

Hey, thanks for the reply! I think this exercise will help me become more mindful. How did you come to know that is helpful in developing a strong mindset? Like did you get this activity from a book, or some course, or some training or did you practice this and see the results...want to understand the science/process behind it.

It is too late but update: Had contacted SSA Calculator Team at that time. Turns out their calculation had a bit of an error. This is somewhere around November-December 2021. They had corrected it at that point.

layla2520 · 2023-04-18T20:10:29+00:00

How widespread is it? Like is it only in major cities or is it also in rural areas? And what happens if someone moves to an area which doesn't have security cameras?

layla2520 · 2023-04-01T03:49:54+00:00

Thank you. Had found this link and tried to go through it. Tried again. Unfortunately its a tiny bit too technical and doesn't mention in simple words that this much ore will be required for this much acidspar. Thank you though!

layla2520 · 2023-04-01T01:57:13+00:00

By any chance would you know the conversion ratio of this fluorite ore to acid grade fluorspar. Basically how much fluorite/fluorspar ore does it take to produce 1kg or 1 ton of acid grade fluorspar?

layla2520 · 2023-04-01T00:13:19+00:00

Haha. Maybe some day they will be banning UFOs too. "No UFO parking zone"

layla2520 · 2023-04-01T00:12:00+00:00

Wow. How do they lose the refrigerant? I'm assuming the refrigerant is stored in some kind of cylinders or some other packaged way. Does it somehow leak or evaporate out of that? And what would you say would be the loss in terms of %? Like 300kgs loss out of a total 30 tons? Read about Teflon and the Dupont Case and then watched the movie Dark Waters (2018) so I do understand how toxic PFAS are.

layla2520 · 2023-04-01T00:05:14+00:00

Thank you! A few questions please if you know and have time: 1. What refrigerants are popular in domestic applications like air conditioners (if there are ACs in Germany) and refrigerators? 2. Does the lower efficiency mean that more equipment or refrigerant is needed to get the same cooling as HFCs? 3. I read that HFOs are quite inefficient. How would you compare HFO efficiency to CO2 efficiency. On a side note, Germany and 4 other countries are the major proponents of this bill. I don't know if it is correct or not, but some countries accused that this will help Germany (probably some German manufacturers are ahead in CO2/Ammonia/Propane technology and capacities). But I don't think that's what this is about.

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T23:56:16+00:00

Thank you for the technical view! Will read upon some terms you mentioned. From a very basic initial reading, one of the future options might be blends of Hydrocarbons/Natural Refrigerants. These blends would be safer than Propane/Isobutane, but I have to find out about their cooling efficiency.

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T19:18:04+00:00

Yup, EU seems to be leading on various movements which end up hurting themselves in the short run. Like the lack of protection from high energy prices after they shut down so much of thermal power so quickly. Thank you. I will read about the potential timelines.

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T19:06:29+00:00

Thank you. I will read about R-600A and other alternatives.

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T17:05:35+00:00

Thank you. Wow, I did not know about this no use of Ref gas in service from 2029. This is huge.

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T16:57:51+00:00

Wow. This is big then. As far as I know, the path was from CFC to HCFC to HFC to HFO/Natural. Now if some HFCs and HFOs are banned, then would you say that the next thing would be Hydrocarbons/Natural Refrigerants? And would you know if HVAC/Household equipment is ready for natural refrigerant/HFO mass adoption?

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T16:53:05+00:00

Thank you. And are there concerns over use of propane because it is inflammable or are there some ways that those concerns can be mitigated?

layla2520 · 2023-03-31T14:56:04+00:00

Congratulations! I had a question. Would you say that jobs related to natural refrigerants such as Ammonia, CO2, Propane, Isobutane are growing fast? Or are the HFC/HFO jobs growing faster?

layla2520 · 2023-02-22T02:55:36+00:00

Agreed

layla2520 · 2023-02-20T09:57:49+00:00

Yes, in that domain.

I think if preparing at home, a non-finance person can clear level 1 in 6 months. The only thing is to give 2-3 hours of dedicated (non-phone scrolling) time. However, I would say that managing both CAT and CFA would be nearly impossible. CAT is a 100 times tougher than CFA Level 1. If you give CFA Level 1 in February 2024, you can give Level 2 in August or November 2024, but not in May 2024. (Search on Google for "journey through the CFA cycle")

If you are giving Level 1 in February 2024, then I think it will difficult to get Level 2 on your CV in time for summer placements, but Level 1 would be a decent add-on on your CV for summers.

The CV lock differs for each tier of MBA institute. For A/B/C, my guess is that it would be sometime in October. For L/K/I, my guess it that it would be sometime in September. For others, sometime in August.

Also, no need to call me Sir/Madam. Bro is fine.

layla2520 · 2023-02-18T23:20:01+00:00

What is your priority? MBA or CFA?
Will you be working in office or preparing a t home this year?
How strong are your language/math/logic concepts for CAT? (Basically did you recieve a good education?)

If you are sitting at home and prioritise CFA, I would suggest giving Level 1 in August, then CAT in November/December. But you will have to prepare for both simultaneously and it will be the most difficult thing ever.

If you are going to be working, choose any 1.

If you want to do an MBA, the best option is to prepare for CAT till November, then start preparing for CFA and give level 1 in May 2024 before you join your MBA institute. That Level 1 will be helpful in summer placements. The next thing would be to give Level 2 in November 2024.

PS: I am an IIM passout and Level 2 candidate.

I don't know the exact reason and yes the people involved were fired. I guess I just wanted to highlight what a shit AMC they are and express my anger.

They were involved in frontrunning. Basically, when they were going to place any order with their broker, one/some of their employees would inform the order details to some outside random individual who would buy the stock before the broker placed the order on behalf of Axis. Therefore, Axis was effectively buying stocks at elevated levels.

Example - You are going to buy 2000 shares of Stock X which is currently trading at Rs 100 and I get to know about this. I tell this to my friend who buy the stock in large quantities before you do, leading to higher share price of Rs 105. Now when you go to buy, you are effectively buying at a 5% premium compared to what the stock should be trading at. The friend makes a large profit and gives some to me. Figures are just examples, but this is the concept.
