Half of our contractors flew in from Mexico for my current project. Its like 70/30 with them for good/bad. Which is better than basically any installers I’ve worked with previously.
China in my experience is slavery painted over with the word automation. Any work I’ve done over there has an insane amount of obscurity to hide the slavery.
Wtf are you talking about. We do use ML for basic maintenance predictions. In general it’s useless though.
I’m awake during a fuckin maintenance window right now. You know literally nothing about automation based on how you talk about it.
You are so wrong I dont have simple words to describe it.
I’m a controls engineer who literally installs automation systems. AI is mostly useless in our industry, Claude barely scratches the surface of what we do. The coding is somewhat simple. The problem is how difficult the physical interaction is.
Having worked with Chinese controls people, they arent any better than the US engineers often they are significantly worse. No idea why. The guys from Mexico are way better from my experience.
My education is mechE so I’m kind of cheating when it comes to guessing.
Concrete is a lot stronger than asphalt. The road deck is probably a thin concrete layer, with asphalt on top. The supports are probably solid concrete and a lot of rebar. Solid concrete will shrug off large explosives, but the road deck can be damaged with small explosives.
Im just guessing though.
This one goes way farther than people realize. My father built a great career as an engineer with a large network of people who would hire him in an instant. He’s just nice, polite, and helps the people around him.
I’m very similar to him and it’s worked very well for me too. I might be stupid as fuck sometimes, but I own it and I’m nice. I’m somewhat early in my career but I can already see what my behavior gets me.
Yep I’ve got it all. I wouldn’t even be considering doing it if I wasnt already very handy and comfortable in most of the PPE. Chaps will be new, but the discomfort is worth the safety.
Tree removal. I have a shitty blue spruce that needs to be removed and I’m too cheap to pay someone to do it. So I’m practicing climbing and using a chainsaw.
The recipe is different for the store brand. I did this stuff in the dairy industry for a while. Its not production cycles in dairy, it’s vats. So store brand orders a few vats of product, with way lay less actual milk or doesnt specify as high a minimum quality milk products. More dyes and filler during finishing and no aging. All store brands are essentially flavored and colored mozzarella. They are lower quality.
I still buy them though. Mozzarella is good enough for most recipes.
For other products it’s similar. Lower tolerances on inputs and outputs to reduce cost. Still probably 80% as good as name brand.
