• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you consider joking about dying and killing oneself a sign that the person saying it is troubled?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to joke about killing myself all the time.

  For a lot of my life I really did want to kill myself.

  Now, I still joke all the time about killing myself.

  … I have no sincere intention of ever killing myself, and haven’t for almost 10 years now.

  Point here is, there’s all kinds of people. If you’re worried enough to ask strangers on the internet, just talk to the motherfucker and find out.

  Whether it’s all dark humor or a legit cry for help, most people respond positively to genuine sentiments of care, even from coworkers.

  This is apt. I concur. We are concurrent.

  Architects. Boy do I sure hate me some architects.

  I use different heights depending what I’m working on. I never stand at the thing, but setting it high to do detailed electronics work, setting it low to comfortably use music electronics on, or setting it just high enough to wheel my full 88-key weighted keyboard under but still use my computer makes it absolutely worth it.

  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.

  Engineer here.

  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.”
