  • I work in MEP and our emails are always considered legal documents as they can be used as evidence if ever we are taken to court. So we always treat them very technical and try to over explain everything so clients/plan reviewers/contractors can't misinterpret. It's kind of an old school thing, but the head of our department is an old school guy.

    Typically when I type out professional emails or documents that contain numerical values, I write out the number followed by the digits in brackets if it is ten [10] or below for cases of amount, unless I am listing out the counts of items, then I only use digits.

    "The updated electrical design will require three [3] new, pad-mount 500kVA transformers to replace the three [3] existing 225kVA transformers,each located on floors four, five, and six."

  • It's like "New Chicken Salad! Now with juicy blisters!"

    Best case scenario it doesn't make it worse, but it defo doesn't make it any better.

    Whats an unethical or dangerous experiment that you would like to see performed or perform (if it werent for the ethics/danger)
  • I'd like to experiment with other non-capitalist based systems in various points of infra-structure of my country.

    I don't think this "only make money in all things, all the time" shit is a smart way to manage numerous complex systems.

    I don't have all the answers on how that shakes out, but I think the first move would be to only allow professionals experienced in respective fields to set up these experiments. Existing profitable systems and overseeing corporations be damned.

  • I was upset at first, but he was right in the long run.

    What the French say about love is true... "omlette du fromage"

  • Jaga Jazzist - The Shrine (Potter Eldh Remix)

    The original track bangs. But this is one of those rare remixes that actually adds something. Worth sharing.
