You should probably reread the last few pages where the OP talks about how he's not building the bathroom for him, but for resale value because women and their crazy vaginas can't resist a good tub.

op is building a nest to attract a mate, not unlike several species of birds and fish. This is nature. This is evolution.

I guess the shiny wet rocks will work if he's trying to attract a bowerbird, but the color scheme is all wrong. Shouldn't he go with blue? And maybe some tasteful displays of feathers and plastic bits?

presentable is definitely a higher priority than functional or dependable. Mating season is just three weeks out of the year.

I think they were referring to a different thread. The only things it looks like this OP has removed are those joists and any doubt that he's an idiot.

I spend maybe 15 min in my bathroom each morning, just enough to poo poo, shower, shave and run out of there. My wife on the other hand spends about a half hour each morning. When house hunting, about all I cared about was the correct number of rooms and no obvious fire hazards, we looked at countless homes trying to decide and I would have gladly settled for about a dozen of the homes, my wife was far more picky and sure enough her primary concerns were the kitchen and bathroom. I for one would be just fine making GBS threads in a 5 gallon bucket in a hole over the crawlspace but at least in my scenario, my wife was more selective.

Maybe I should say my wife chose the house, maybe I should say I put the bitch I her place and forced her to accept this home. Or maybe I could do the reasonable thing and say we compromised and she got the bathroom that was her priority item. But nope, gotta have some sexist D&D poster come in here to provide a full detailed analysis of every nook and cranny of a bathroom that doesn't even exist yet to provide the expert female opinion.

This is we can't have nice things, people can't just accept sometimes people want poo poo that is different. It's like asking about car buying and AI and trying to avoid the Miata bandwagon. Who cares if it is not your perfect self cleaning dream bathroom, the rocks will ha e a look beamblaster likes and we might get another epic thread when he realizes they grow mold, or we might be wrong.

Nice meltdown.

Those are the people that dropped out of engineering school after the first semester of calculus and transferred into business school. They still like to think they know how engineering works and they are good at repeating buzzwords like "synergy".

They're sales people that have the skills to bullshit both managers and engineers.

The other possibility in the broader category of "sales engineer" is usually called a "field applications engineer". These are actual engineers that have the job of either teaching the customer's engineers the realities of the bullshit their managers just bought or designing example systems, etc. A lot of tech companies call them "product evangelists" these days because their main duties are teaching other engineers/running workshops/etc.

Sounds like a PPM without any actual skills, perhaps analogous to "Financial Advisors" who don't want you to know that they're just feature sales people with GEDs and a weekend of product training.

My brother was a sales engineer for a while. Full mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech. He worked with a supplier for flexible couplings, and his job was taking requirements from clients and finding / designing the parts they needed.

That's usually called an FAE. At least in electronics.

The FYAD thread on the zip line was better anyway, and they quoted a bunch of the posts and pictures.

Also I can't believe no one has mentioned the basement death pool that I'm pretty sure was also in DIY.
