In PW2, the 18 Wheeler job, inside of the trailer. There is the item "tarpaulin". I am 33 years old and I just realized that tarp is short for tarpaulin. I don't know why, but this is blowing my mind now.

For PZ2, it would be great to have animal shows/events. Like a zoo keeper holding up a snake to a class, to teach them about their behaviors. Or having a bird fly over the stage while the zoo keeper talks about their habitat. And to have it reflected in the entertainment/knowledge areas.

As the title says. What is the stupidest thing they wanted you to include/do? I will start. I am Division 9, finish flooring for reference.

-The GC was shocked we didn't include the drywall, in order to hang our wall base.

-After we ordered and started to install some carpet tile (approved via submittals). Owner changed their mind on the style and color and wanted order something different. They approved the cost, even knowing original manufacture wouldn't take back the old material since it was such a little quantity. The owner was trying to get my company to buy that product. No, I don't want to buy 14 cartons of the ugliest blue I have ever seen before. You already asked me 5 times.

-We go on site before we install, walk with the site super and talk about the plan and existing conditions. Making sure we hit the ground running deal. We do our moisture testing, and the results were a little high but a couple of weeks with the air running should be fine. We come back, it's more humid than ever. We bring this up, the temperature is not within spec range. This fresh out of college site super is furious, calling us liars and other fun names. He walks over the thermostat, points to it and says "see it's perfect here. 72 degrees and 72 humidity." I walk over, pull off that fake display sticker that has that 72 printed on it. Turning on the thermostat showed what the ACTUAL ranges where. Site super says "Oh well why didn't you include dehumidifiers in your bid then?"

I got a super slim the other week and it's been fine. I've played and beaten Resistance Fall of Man, no issues. Resistance 2, only issue was kinda stuttering at the ending cutscene but nothing else. Resistance 3 though. I got about a couple of hours into it, then it froze. Booted it up again, froze at the same part. Then after that, it wouldn't read the disc. I put in and played other games though, and it works fine like nothing happened. Well I got another copy of Resistance 3, and it won't read that disc either. So in short, it runs and play any game good/great, expect for Resistance 3. Is this a failing laser ?

Saw someone made a post like this, decided to make my own. I hope these come out before the "only digital" PS6:

-Megaman Legends 3.

-New Jak and Daxter.

-New Killzone.

-New Resistance.

-New Wipeout.

-New Gravity Rush.

-New Lost Planet.

-Dragon Age Origins Remaster.

-New Final Fantasy 12 HD.

Division 9, finish flooring. I bid and just had a scope review for some office renovations at roughly 84,000sf, with pattern work. That's good size, we have done it before so no problem. Well they just showed me the schedule. Get everything done within 19 days (weekdays). Did the math, I would need to throw 17 guys per weekday. That's assuming nobody would delay us or anything that can happen. We already have projects going the will require a lot of installers anyways. Which dam intern made this super aggressive schedule?

I am Division 9, finishes. Back in late 2023/early 2024, there was a brand new high school out to bid for winter 2025 install. It is in my town where I live, very local, know the area well. Well there is an architect firm here that gets almost every school, because they are cheap. Their drawings show this quality too. Just for this one project I had RIF's for:

-Missing an entire corridor on the first floor.

-The finish schedule calls for option A, the notes in the drawings calls for option B, and the hatching calls for option C. This issue showed up in about 85 rooms.

-The finish schedule only calls for CPT, but not which one. The hatching does show which carpet tile, but the actual hatching was very similar and almost impossible to tell which is which. But when I started the take off, it was all the same style just different color, so pricing was same. Well they then changed it to different styles, and big price differences. Someone is going to make a costly mistake.

I really wanted this school, would of been great to have. So I got my takeoff done about a month early. Giving the GC these multiple RIF's. Then the due date comes up, and nothing is answered for me. It actually got worse. I had a bad feeling about this project, so I told the GC and he said "well your competition has the same drawings as you". Didn't feel guilty backing out after that.

Shooting the breeze with a rep last week and asked how did that school go for them, a lot of their materials was on there. They then told me the drama that happened. How the flooring contractor was trying to return a lot of materials, since they ordered the wrong color multiple times. I did the math later, realized that flooring contractor ate about $90,000, just on the resilient side. Didn't ask the carpeting rep yet.

Is there enough room, with all the store expansions, to get ALL the movies in one run? Because there is a lot....

Did you guys know: in the dog car level, the eyes/headlights move? I didn't, and that scared me.

I have managed to "inherit" about 20 CD booklets. Most are the early 2000's rock/metal bands. Like Breaking Benjamin, Mudvayne, Drowning Pool, etc. They were in my mom's basement, some have slight water damage, some have just misc damage, some are just fine. But do people actually want the booklets ONLY or am I wasting my energy saving them and should throw them away?
