#building estimation

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

in tonight's endeavor to be distracted from Everything, i have painstakingly jotted down the base, beginning ideas for a modern human au. it includes a gap-year group road trip in Wally's RV, Home

#& i've only got... the Very base ideas and 1 neighbor done #worldbuilding continues to be my go-to coping method #plotting it out from Tiny Days to established Graduates In Their Late 20s! #a worthy distraction indeed! #the most traditionally successful of the bunch is frank - an entomology professor! #poppy has a tea house! howdy still has his store! barnaby is a bartender for a gay club! eddie does drag performances there! etc! #its fun to think about and even more fun to jot down in a document #im trying to estimate whats most likely for them based on What We Know #which is not must! but i can make educated guesses! #and this is all for personal fun anyway <3 #absolutely unprompted #i thought i would be scribbling tonight... no... au building.... #also since this is a human au and they can all get injured #Im Putting Wally Darling In The Hospital #and im making it as emotionally/psychologically damaging to barnaby as possible #because thats the drama i live for babey! maiming and intense guilt! #nah dw im not gonna Maim him maim him. just gonna fuck em up a lil. broken bones and all that

Yes, I did take ten minutes closely outlining Decked Out so I could slide it over the Perimeter to compare the two sizes-

#i am bad at estimating size differences with distances so I had to put them over each other #hmm I wonder how many things I could squeeze into the perimeter #docm77 #tangotek #tango #because it’s his build #decked out 2 #the perimeter

"Leave her alone she's like 15 😭😭😭😭" is my new "LEAVE HER ALONE SHE'S LIKE 13 😭😭😭😭😭😭" whenever anything bad happens to Veronica like. PLEASE

#fire emblem #feh #IT'S SO CRAZY i've said it before i think but i was right on the money before we had canon age estimates for the feh oc squad #BE NICE TO HER #these are like the worst years of anyone's life. AND she has a blood curse. AND she misses her brother #AND she has a rocky home life AND family she thought she could trust and she thought loved her #as much as she adored them but was cruelly torn apart by and cast aside. PLEASE. #SHE'S LITERALLY NEURODIVERGWNT AND A MINOR BE NICE TO HER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔 #i have SO much love for little veronica though it's unreal. she is the epitome of when the mental illness hits at 13. #like everything prior that happened to her was just build up. cannot imagine a world where she was ever ok and normal. #it all just hit her 1000 damage beam blast at 13. many such cases. #fe veronica

more of you guys should have strange intrests, im tired if having normal mutuals. all of you get into studying the nutrient levels of your local soils right now

#or collect dead bugs or start estimating the wingspan of birds you see or build a sundial or #☆

Larry is afraid of Pidove. Like. Very afraid. Fucking terrified. Tranquill and Unfezant are fine. Pidove is the stuff of his nightmares.

When he was six, Grimsley told him if he held out his pretzel the wild Pidove come over and let him pet them. But what ended up happening was the flock of Pidove chasing after him, which Grimsley explicitly knew would happen. What Grimsley was NOT expecting was Larry getting nearly pecked to death by a bunch of low level Pidove. And thus a new fear was born.

Fast forward to now, where Larry has locked himself in the bathroom refusing to introduce himself the new intern because they have a Pidove on their shoulder and Larry won't come out and ask them to return them to their ball.

#man from unova afraid of pokemon that has a rough estimate of 4 million in population throughout the entire region #he deserves an absurd fear i think #he totally has a fear of needles as its gotta be the most common fear out there #but old man with a fear of park pigeons specifically is called character torture i mean building #pokemon #pokemon headcanons #pokemon scarvi #gym leader larry #elite four larry

i need to stop leaving assignments to the last minute because things have gone Wrong

#i need to make two models of buildings i Cannot find the dimensions for #i can estimate building heights and use scales from like google maps but MAN #its due tomorrow night #its doable but to what standard? a good one i hope #i also just found out that we have to bring them in earlier than i thought to present the day after but i have an appointment that finishes #at the time we're supposed to be there but i've been waiting for this appointment for over two months aaaaa #mads makes a post

threw together some 3d-render-screenshot-mockups literally just to prove to myself that Progress Has Been Made.

#baaaaasically this has involved building almost an entire ecommerce framework from scratch #despite the fact that it is not an ecommerce plugin lol. #the main thing it's For is like...trade technician license renewal? which requires buying + taking certain “refresher” workshops every 2yrs #since i took over the site i've tried like 3 separate hack solutions that augment + build off of woocommerce et al #& same went for their member company login dashboard stuff - memberpress plugin + 35 stupid workarounds #& afaik there's just straight up no commercially viable plugin that handles event registration in a “build your ticket package” format..? #which is how these people do ALL their conferences + fundraisers + etc #so at some point last year i just think fuck it they should have their own plugin that does member accounts + events + licensing classes #& because i am a known brain genius with a reasonable estimation of my own abilities + excellent workload moderation skills #--& who is definitely NOT susceptible to having all social impulse control overridden every time i Think of a Cool Thing-- #ofc i show up at the next client meeting like HEY GUYS WHAT IF #🙃🙃🙃 wheee

i don’t feel like bothering some random person abt a comment from several months ago so can someone tell me what i’m missing here

unless everything is in relatable units, a cup is always different

a cup is always a cup tho;;;?? like based on the context it’s very obviously Cup (culinary unit of measurement). the cup IS the unit. what am i not getting here.

#moi #i’m so confused #like i get the merit of measuring by weight if you’re like. mass producing stuff in gigantic mixers or whatever #but quite frankly i’m a lot better at eyeballing a volume of a quantity than just. intuiting the weight. #and ‘onion’ as a unit of measurement is not exactly standard either #i think the nicest thing recipe writers could do would be to add notes abt how much you’ll need to buy #like i did a mac n cheese recipe a while back and she added notes abt what size block of cheese to get #or like in this case 2C chopped onion has a note abt ‘this is ~x onions the size of a baseball or y weight’ #although i’m not sure my grocery store even has scales there anymore so the weight isn’t really useful #in terms of ‘how many onions do i need’ #i’m kind of glad that more recipes these days ARE getting way more specific #‘weh weh it’s because young people don’t know how to cook anymore!!’ ok and? #what do you think is happening when they follow a detailed recipe? #you have to start building muscle memory somewhere #you can’t rely on an intuition that hasn’t been trained #(or sometimes at all. i am remarkably bad at estimating weight and distances)

#will probably delete this later but I needed to get it out somewhere #like I am so goddamn lonely. and it is making me feel LITERALLY as if I'm about to descend into genuine madness #but the PROBLEM is that. in order to not be lonely. you need to find other people. and you need to have reason to believe that those #people will keep wanting and making an effort to communicate with you #and the thing is THE THING. IS. that you cannot control what people do or feel. I have no say in what people think of me. #I have to rely on other people to build new relationships. and that is just not. something that I can do. #it's not something that makes SENSE for me to do anymore. so I try to figure out how to just not want human connection at all #you know maybe if I intentionally isolate myself or grow my cynicism on a regular basis I'll get desensitized to the point #where that's just genuinely not something I want anymore. so then I'm not lonely but I also didn't have to rely on anyone else being #trustworthy and accepting and willing to care about me to get to that point #but. I mean maybe some people can do the denial thing but I can't. I've been trying for years. and that carved-out-hole in my chest #hasn't gotten any better. it hasn't filled up or healed over or gone away. it's just gotten bigger. #but if you're genuinely convinced that you're just built in a way where no one is ever going to really love you...what the fuck do you do? #if connecting with other people is something I want but it's (in my probably-biased estimation) completely inaccessible because I am #an inherently shameful and unpleasant person just by virtue of existing...then I'm just stuck at an impasse. and I'll always be crying #over something I can't logically ever have. why bother pursuing it if I am just going to be rejected or hurt or disparaged or tossed out or #neglected or sidelined or any number of bad outcomes? if that's how pursuing any kind of new interpersonal relationships is going to end #then why bother? the only thing to do would be to learn how to be completely unreliant on other people in any way forever right? #but THAT'S not logistically feasible EITHER and I've already proven that I can't fucking do that so what's left? just always be miserable? #I DON'T WANT TO RESIGN MYSELF TO THAT!!!! #sorry. it's. getting to be late december & around the new year is when it always gets Bad™ so we're just. gonna be like this for a few week #In the Vents #ugh all of this would be better if I still lived near Best Friend™ #anyone who gets to live near/with their Person™ PLEASE know how lucky you are and don't take that for granted

Girl help, I wanted my donuts so fucking bad but I had to cancel my order because I was already waiting for 2 hours

#ramblings #pretty sure the delivery guy was straight running errands while they were getting my food #like the maps just had them parked at a building for a whole ass hour #like if it takes a bit longer than estimated fine whatever but it can not be a whole ass 2 hours

Introducing dog food X3 and 'I needed to buy six chicks per policy' X3. It's hilarious seeing the largest commercial bird (turkeys) next to the smallest commercial bird (bantams). They are handling the brooder together well, though! Reese wants to sniff the beepers and is mad I won't let him, and Tassie wants to crunch them so bad.

They are in a separate room that is locked away so none of the household pets can get at them, and in a few weeks they'll be outside to pasture just in time to make room for my mail order of chicks to arrive. Plan is the three turkeys, egg laying hens and dual purpose ducks next month, and then later in June we'll start about ten broilers or so. My brother also wants me to raise broilers for him, so that'll be about twenty broilers total, but we're fencing a 60x60 area so they'll have plenty of room to free range. Mostly doing this to save a bit of money feeding the dogs (and ourselves), but also because I like ducks and wanted some. If I was going to get some ducks, might as well go all the way, right?

This week is supposed to be warm so I'm hoping we can get the fence up so long as I can kick this sinus infection, but if I can't this week than the week after will still be plenty of time. And then over the summer I'll be working on getting this ancient trailer rebuilt into a mobile coop, which is what our birds will be wintering in. Busy year for us, alongside pursuing titles on the dogs!

#i used to be a poultry butcher so beyond the initial cost of starting up theres not much i need to do #that initial cost is so high though #i have everything i need to get started #but ill need to buy the lumber to build the coop ($400 by my best estimate) and a plucking machine in the fall (another $500) #shouldnt be that bad though!

I want my packige :(

#noopa rambles #it originally had an estimated delivery date today #then it changed to 31.8-1.9 #but it's still not moving in the packige app #so at this point I'm 97% sure it won't get here tomorrow #which means I'm going to have to wait until monday to get it :( #it's a new tv stand #and I reaaaally wanted to build it :(( #had I known the estimated delivery will be days outta wack I would've just gone to get the thing in person #but figured that if it's two-three days delivery it's not worth the drive #but now the stupid weekend is getting in the way #I hate when they give me an estimated day and then go over it #like. if the estimate had been longer in the first place I wouldn't be disappointed #but them giving me a day and then going over it is mighty sad #I mean maybe it'll magically arrive tomorrow but I fear not
