Seeing him walk up and down it, it's a lot less rickety than I thought it would be. I was expecting it to wobble like something from a fun house.

it would only be solid like that if every step was cut exactly the same, that's why its engineer porn

absence of a handrail aside there's nothing inherently unsafe or flimsy about that design, but judging by the way the steps flex as he goes up it that whole thing's made of MDF

I mean the stair stringer is upside down. That'd give me some pause.

I think if you looked at it after 1 year it would be in significantly worse shape.

Looks like a fun job being up on the power lines until he explains sometimes he’s up there on live lines and in freezing rear end cold.

Someone posted the build video where he tore down and rebuilt the whole thing with thicker wood but the hinge design is still the same and an obvious failure point. At least use some through bolts or something.

Watching that video made me roll my eyes so hard. He got super pissed people said he needed a handrail, specifically said that he made the riser upside-down because it looked better while ignoring anything about its efficacy, and continued to use screws with the justification that they're super tough and broke several of his drill bits.

It's this: Gromit posted:I think you missed "Envy people with no fear of heights like that." Just getting me into that cart would have my heart racing to the point I nearly faint. The height and wind and everything else would have me curled up in the bottom of the bucket, whimpering as I gripped something hard enough to cut off the flow of blood to my fingers. I work in an Amazon warehouse and sometimes I have to do a walk along a catwalk to check for loose boxes that fell off the conveyor belt and toss them back on. It's a perfectly solid catwalk that barely even vibrates or moves but the fact that the floor of the thing is a mesh (albeit a thick one) and the catwalk extends off the edge of the floor over a two-floor drop down to shipdock is enough to send my heartrate through the roof.

I don't have a fear of heights, more like a fear of falling from heights. If there is a railing, I'm fine. When I did tech theater in high school, the catwalk was no big deal to me because there was a railing. But I can't get anywhere near an edge of a cliff or a roof, it freaks me out.

I have no fear getting in a small plane and climbing to 3000 feet and opening the window and hanging my arm out, but standing on the edge of a fifth floor balcony makes me nervous and I'm always tightly gripping the railings. Idk what's up with that.

At that sort of height, the ground is more of an abstract thing to me; it feels like more of an immediately danger when it's close-ish. I feel the same way. I've been up in a tow plane taking pictures of a glider, and that was perfectly fine, but I get nervous sticking my head out of a 6th floor window to check what's happening down on the sidewalk.

I think part of it is an awareness of the building extending up from the ground to your feet. Which would mean it's really a fear of being on top of things rather than just height.

If you grew up climbing high up into trees I think you get rid of the fear of the distance and start to fear the lack of having something to control yourself with. That's why that cart ride on power lines doesn't freak me out. It would absolutely suuuuck getting on top and righting the ship after derailing, but you've got so many safety mechanisms that it's just another job. I'm probably more likely to get flattened by some rear end in a top hat in a forklift going too fast around a blind corner than that guy is to fall to his death. Also: was anyone else surprised that he doesn't have a safety line on all of his tools? I'd totally drop my ratchet while doing the last bolt.

Being in a plane or helicopter doesn't phase me but looking up at a really tall building will make me weak in the knees I have no idea what the hell that's about. Also being in a room with an extremely tall ceiling like a hangar or a stadium.

Hey are there any CAD operators in here that can tell me is CAD certification is a scam? Is there an official governing body that deals with that or is it a per-school gatekeeping kind of thing?

It looks like Autodesk has a bunch of certs for their specific programs. Could you maybe share the cert program you are looking at or at least give us more context into what kind of CAD you want to be cert'd in?

Only person I know that got a CAD job was hired out of high school because we had used it in our classes. I had looked into jobs that required CAD in college and the consensus I picked up was donate your time to a company that wanted free labor to get good experience/referral.

When did they start calling then CAD operators? All software certification is something of a scam but exist to gatekeep resumes. So if you don't have an in somewhere and don't have an impressive resume it'll help your resume not get thrown out by HR. That's it, that's the entire reason they exist.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Yea I had a lol when I put CAD operator into google cause i thought it was just OP's slang term. Lo and behold that's what its called now? RIP drafters. for over ten years I have taught classes in Rhino, SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and various CAM and automated manufacturing topics and I have never used the term "CAD operator." lol. the closest term that I know in common use is calling a junior draftsman a "CAD monkey." to answer the original question: there are certifications for specific pieces of software, like the CSWP program or whatever Autodesk has. These are run by the company that makes the software and they're nice to have on your resume but not even remotely required to get a job as a CAD monkey. I have not heard of any industry-wide certification or accreditation program of any note. choose the field you want to work in, find out what software is used there -- learning AutoCAD will not help you at all if you're planning to work in an industry that's all SolidWorks -- and get the certification in that specific software if you're really concerned about it. e, because this is a pet peeve of mine: CAD is a broad term that means "computer-aided drafting" or more recently "computer-aided design." lots of people use it as slang for AutoCAD, one specific piece of CAD software (I do not, but people do). be VERY SURE what you're talking about here because AutoCAD is an ancient, archaic, legacy program that few modern industries still use. I would never recommend that someone pursue an AutoCAD certification in 2021 unless they had a specific job in mind at a specific firm that still uses AutoCAD for compatibility with plans first drafted in 1988 or whatever.
