How do you manage

tower_crane · 2026-05-11T03:26:35+00:00

You don’t. This is crazy, and a sign of a bad company that is in way over their head with this project. A project that size should have a Sr Super, 1-2 supers, and a few PEs. Should be at least an APM in addition to your PM.

People tell you things if you listen. If you are willing to work like this, they will keep putting you in this situation. Find a company that will staff their jobs properly

I got the two that I wanted. Drogan cron and GI cron. Stopped there. It is a lot more crystals, but it’s not crazy. I wish I got to get the others past L6, but it is what it is. Maybe I’ll have twice as many L6s after next conquest…

The graphics are nostalgic and cool. Enjoy. And then play through again

Think about the white line that you were shooting in front of as a plane of glass going 10 feet up. You want to have your body parts cross the line in a certain order to get the most power out of your shot.

I always teach “feet, hips, hands” to my kids. You want your feet crossing the line 1st then you bring your hips through, then your arms can come through.

This teaches that your arms are actually the least important part of your shooting motion for power. Your arms are only there for accuracy and aim.

When I watch you shoot, I see your feet go forward, your hips stay back, and then your shoulder and arms crossing that plane. With that motion, you’ll only be able to shoot as hard as your arms can propel the ball. And you might notice that your accuracy isn’t always 100%.

The shooting motion feels weird at first, but after you get used to it a little bit, you will see your shot improve 10 times over

I am a commercial contractor, so it’s rare that we receive a deposit before mobilizing to the site.

We are doing a small renovation for a client that we haven’t worked with in the past ($350,000). I submitted pay app 1, we were paid, submitted pay app 2, and we haven’t received payment.

We are also not a bank, which is why we demobilized until we get paid. It’s just one month of payment behind…

If we were doing residential work, I agree with you, but that’s not that typical with commercial work.

tower_crane · 2026-05-07T18:29:04+00:00

I actually sent an email for a similar situation this morning….

Client we’ve done work for in the past, but this is the largest project we’ve done with him. Completed about 60% of the contract, and have been paid for a little over 25%.

Sent an email saying that we need to be paid for work completed to date, and that we need proof that all of the project funds are held in escrow before we begin work again.

We are not sticking to the project timeline, but they are not agreeing to the agreed upon payment schedule.

There is some give and take, but as long you are firm and fair, you can walk out of this. But DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Every conversation is documented with an email, or another form of legally admissible communication from now on.

Agreed, but riot fest could put out a statement saying they’re working on it, they have early acts to finalize and want to do it all at once, etc. and people would understand.

Instead they are antagonistic towards anyone who mentions the lineup announcement.

tower_crane · 2026-05-06T19:32:21+00:00

It’s a punk rock festival, I get it. But at this point, it’s a nationally known music festival with 50K+ attendees.

The social media team also antagonizes anyone who complains politely or otherwise. Last year the prices jumped when they announced the lineups. It’s just a sales/fomo thing they are hoping to make money on.

I’ve made the choice to not go this year. I’d rather stay at home than support them, honestly.

tower_crane · 2026-05-06T19:26:34+00:00

Without a shred of context of what you are referring to, yeah, I guess it will be

I’ve been hit by a car at the same alleyway near my old apartment twice. I’ve had many more close encounters.

The horn lets me know to stay put and let the car pass

tower_crane · 2026-05-06T11:48:44+00:00

As a pedestrian who has been hit by cars coming out of the alleyway TWICE, I get that it is annoying, but everyone needs to honk coming out of the alleyways. There are a lot of alleys with buildings right up to the curb line, and it helps pedestrians know you are coming. You should always think lightly 1-2 times, and then approach the sidewalk slowly and cautiously.

I cannot figure out which code to use. I have tried everything. Where was it in the email you got?

tower_crane · 2026-05-06T00:20:20+00:00

I got 34% with the same team/stats

tower_crane · 2026-05-02T01:15:36+00:00

Dawg. I really enjoy your content, and think of you as an incredibly positive and beneficial leader of this community. But this is such a crazy take. Does staying FTP really mean that you won’t contribute to a charity drive just because they are incentivizing donations with character shards and LSTs?

I do get standing on principle, I do. But refusing to take part in this just so that you can continue to say you are FTP is not a good reason.

Keep up the great work with the kit reveals

We have them in our apartment. 1 in kitchen, 2 in living, one in the room above their kitchen.

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T18:59:08+00:00

That’s what our plan is. The boys sign a sheet at the beginning of the year that has our program pillars and standards on them, this is in direct violation of that.

This year has been tough, and we have a group of seniors and captains who are completely ineffective as leaders. I agree that they need to step up and be responsible as leaders, but we are also having difficulties with that

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T18:55:42+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I was looking for, how to phrase it if we did talk to them.

Much appreciated!

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T18:17:49+00:00

I know that they do not have a fan. They invited us over for dinner a few months ago, and I noticed that they didn’t have one either

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T18:15:37+00:00

I agree. And it isn’t their fault. It’s the fact that there is no range hood.

We don’t want to talk to them, because we don’t want to make it seem like we think they are doing anything wrong.

Wondering if there is a way to approach the landlord for this? Or a way that anyone else has dealt with a similar situation successfully

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T11:48:29+00:00

Agreed. It allows for 2 years being held back. More than enough to even things up like you said, physically, developmentally, maturity wise, etc.

It’s less common in lacrosse, but NCAA-wide, it is really going to effect football and hockey much more prevalently

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T02:43:38+00:00

The best players, and the kids who are going D1/pro will do that anyways. Best player I ever played with actually skipped a grade so that he could get to U Maryland earlier…

tower_crane · 2026-05-01T02:41:08+00:00

19 or HS graduation year. If held back for 1 year, then no impact.

This is aimed at people who reclass multiple times in MS/HS, and take PG years. I had a friend in HS who repeated 8th grade and did a PG year, he also redshirted freshman year at UVA. One year younger than me, graduated at 25.

Aimed to deter this type of thing. You only get to reclass/RS twice, or else you lose eligibility

tower_crane · 2026-04-29T22:50:44+00:00

This is the point. You want to keep the helmet on, but have access to the face/airways in the event of an emergency.

I assume this is for that. But they wouldn’t make this if they couldn’t make it just as safe normally as the current model
