  • I do MEP design for commercial buildings in the US. If a job ever shows "EWC", I don't ask for specs, I assume the EZH2O until either the job goes out with that spec, or the client directly refuses to use that model.

    Anything less, is uncivilized.

  • 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.

  • Whats an unethical or dangerous experiment that you would like to see performed or perform (if it werent for the ethics/danger)

    Jump

  • 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.
