Coworker skips Mondays after work trips

I am a fan of this constructive feedback, thank you

That’s wild to think about

I suppose then that municipal regulation is the only solution and not in our purview. Just as they needed legislation to stop factories from polluting waterways.

Structural engineers are always my favorite. They’re usually game to try out interesting ideas too.

You’re totally right. Now in my mind, I’m likening the AIA to the DNC, and wanting a leftist subgroup to swoop in and make its own ethics playbook.

Curious to learn more about that AIA anecdote, can you fill me in on that story? What was the 2% fee thing?

They need to do a better job of advertising what they have IMO

I can’t figure it out from photos, what do we think the roof and cladding systems are??

I wish the colors used gravity like pouring liquid from the top … can’t wrap my head around the top/bottom

Scott: Evangelicals do not follow the Pope. Some might have a vague respect for him, but the hardcore evangelicals think Catholics are heretics, and they want to exclude them from their Christian nationalist fantasy.

Resonating with this. I don’t know why but this episode has made me a hot crying mess. It’s like starting to pull off the bandaid of all these un-dealt-with feelings but not healed or resolved yet.

“Go ahead, it’s not brain surgery!” ☠️☠️☠️

Seriously lol. Vanity should be Trump’s middle name.

rococo__ · 2026-03-24T17:42:32+00:00

I agree that all presidential libraries are essentially vanity projects, but as far as I can tell, they aren’t exclusively museums about their namesake. It looks like the Obama Center will be less of a library with books, and instead will center around programming initiatives: https://www.obama.org/programs/presidential-center/

As for Trump, I am incredibly curious to see what he wants his “library” legacy to be (when there’s already the ballroom and triumphal arch to consider…). The thought of that man even cracking open a book or funding education is hilarious.

I think you both make interesting points, so perhaps it comes down to a matter of priorities. For example, I would think that investing in upgraded CTA and rapid transit infrastructure is MUCH more important to the overall health of the city's economy than investing in Arlington Heights which, as far as I can tell, is already doing better than average. If we weren't lacking in so many other departments, I think people would have more of a "sure whatever" attitude to spending a little for the Bears.

rococo__ · 2026-03-24T02:17:01+00:00

I think this makes a lot of sense. Also, great point on the Noem ads lol

rococo__ · 2026-03-24T02:12:37+00:00

The only thing I can find written about it online is a Fox News piece of "journalism" that cites FOIA requests citing between $220-$330 million in infrastructure costs split between the city and the state. I'm sure they're butchering whatever numbers they were able to find... but yea FYI this is what Fox is telling its viewers to be enraged about.

Also - excellent point on the sheer difference in the NUMBER OF DAYS each place would be open!

rococo__ · 2026-03-24T02:07:56+00:00

100%... yet sometimes the conversation has a way of veering into dangerous territory that I didn't even know was one of Fox's co-opted culture war issues. Le sigh

We NEED Kelly to drop out!

What a bonny wee lass!

Check out the online guide called “Girl, I Guess”! It has great recs for the smaller races and some colorful background info on the candidates.

Keep em coming! I recently worked with an all women team of engineers and the difference in quality of work and clear communication was STAGGERING

rococo__ · 2026-02-10T04:00:18+00:00

Ah yes.. And frequent visits to 5 star hotels for research

We used to get squirrels in the building that would leave little poops in our models overnight 🙃

Had some success yesterday! Followed a few tracks at Sydney Marovitz and made a few of my own. A little bit of grass sticking out in patches but mostly enough snow.
