You still cling to naive ideals. I learned, at a very young age, the only currency worth anything in this world is power.

while we are shitting on Bartomeu, can we talk about the fact that we could've had it all aka the Foster Camp Nou, inspired by Gaudí, with the colours of the club and of Catalunya in the glass tiles and with an hommage to the old Camp Nou with the assymetrical shape:

but instead we'll get the boring, standard modern european version Nou Camp Nou bc he was too much of an idiot to accept that a Laporta-chosen project was good:

it feels surreal working on The Hunt For Love again after so long, I feel both equal parts giddy and nervous to develop it and my game making skills between now and whenever I'm able to finish with an end product that I'm satisfied with!!

there's been some developments behind the scenes recently which have just made the project even more real and a a a a I'm just really excited to get this out into the world and share this with y'all >u<

Oh, a great comp to Thralls of Power in regards to themes and relationship to canon would be Black Sails. It's wild I didn't think of it before actually.

[jensownzoo]

Yeah I decided to go ahead and do it.

New planting bed (3'x19') now under construction!

It's supposed to be in the mid/high 80s this week so between that and the sheer amount of rain we got that softened the soil up, it's a good time to get this done in time to actually grow things in it this season.

There will probably be some disappointment in losing this handy canine latrine spot (notice the yellowing), but tough tips.

The actual bad news is that when putting in the other front yard bed I had to unearth several t-posts sunk into concrete, which involved a sledgehammer and a lot of muscle action. An old fenceline cut off and buried under fill. Unfortunately it seems to be exactly 3 feet back from the sidewalk...the back border of the new bed. :-/

But at least I'll have some place for all these sweet potato slips to go once finished right?

~Story Drabble Time~

(P.S. this is something of a draft for my project that I briefly mentioned in my pinned comment, I kinda impulsively decided to type this down because its been driving me a bit crazy due to how much I could work with this. And since by the time March comes around, this’ll be my 2nd year of constant and detailed planning with taking stuff out and putting stuff in. And I’m hoping by next year or by December I’ll have enough to start posting my stuff. BUT there is one important detail with my project. It��s actually a large scale fan-fic that’s gonna have roughly 10-11(?) parts or “installments” so if that isn’t your thing then you don’t have to feel obligated to read these okay? If its not your cup of tea, then no hard feelings. Also just a heads up my grammar might be a bit sucky. Even as a native English speaker my grammar does go down when I don’t write for a while! But I hope you enjoy this! Without further ado, lets get to it!)

They had no idea where it all started for them, these blooming feelings of love. To hold, to protect, to gently tell the holder of their affections that they had fell for her. So badly did they want to confess, and yet they didn’t, they couldn’t when the one they held so dear to there hearts was so utterly terrified at the prospect that someone had fallen in love with them. When one incident acted as a catalyst for her fear, her phobia of any kind of romance. And continued to torture her in the back of her mind, unrelenting as the one who did this to her seemed to still have some sort of control over her.

So much has happened, in so many different places that the ones who fell continued to grow in a number unnoticed in her eyes. Which had come from gaining the ability to travel back and forth between their Worlds. Universes of such unique differences similar to night and day, while others resembled onto another with small details separating them apart. But they wouldn’t have it any other way, even when her journey in their world’s came to an end eventually, they knew she would never leave them behind. Too kind for her own good, but ruthless when needed. A being, a person, a girl that was so much stronger then them physically, emotionally, and mentally.

She had went through so much suffering, whether it be for them or others. A selfless person to those around her, but somehow selfish in her own eyes. Oh how they wanted to protect her from all the horrors of the worlds, the nightmares she got when she slept alone, the silent tears she would weep on ever bright nights. The pain of losing someone close, the endless grief that came after, and that ever strong front she had placed when facing them, protecting them from her sorrows.

It pained them to see her smile so dazzling, like the sun rising to let the moon take its needed rest, when they knew that behind that smile was pain of many sources. Caught in brief moments of weakness meant to be hidden away by their eyes, but was seen either way. They knew that no matter how they wanted to protect her from such things, she was too strong for them to do it individually. Too determined to save all that she could within her reach, too kind to those who weren’t shown such. Too loving and accepting for those who needed someone, anyone to give them the things no one was willing to give. Too gentle to put her loved ones through the burdens she held for so long, too considerate and forgiving when it came to their pain and them lashing out from it. And too scared to let them see how hurt she was when she didn’t even know it herself yet.

Gained from her endless deaths and rebirths, she grew bonds with people she would give her life for, those she considered to be her people, her reason to keep fighting. And in return for such bonds was unwavering loyalty and love from platonic to romantic, for the one who went over and beyond for their well being and happiness. They all knew while they couldn’t protect her individually, that didn’t mean they couldn’t do so together. For everything she’s done for them all, no matter how little or big, she did so with a beaming smile. Lighting a fire in their hearts, an unspoken vow between different worlds, an unshakable comradery stretched between universes was built.

They all had an idea where their blooming feelings of love came from. From being childhood friends, to being reincarnated in a new ear just to meet her again. To simply meet by an off chance wether inside a raging battle, or even being yanked from one world and put into another. It all lead to her being placed into their worlds, to grow with her, to learn about her, to slowly fall in love with her.

It was as if it was somehow planned, to fall in love with her but never reveal it to her until the right time. When she would need their love to break free from the shackles placed on her by the catalyst. And the hidden grief she locked away deep inside herself in order to follow the promises she made and duties given unwillingly. This girl was one of untold potential and power, feared by Gods and other non-human beings alike yet they didn’t care. What they cared about was just her, in all her fractured glory they just wanted her. Not her power, not her limitless potential, not her title nor did they fear her. They knew her in and out, and what they simply wanted was to pledge themselves to her heart, to walk alongside her no matter what may come.

And in the end they would, but for how they did? Well you’ll just have to read their story, the journey they all went through together. Never apart and together forever by the bonds they forged and held so lovingly connecting them.

How Land Survey Drafting Services Can Help Engineers

Land survey drafting services play a crucial role in modern engineering projects, providing accurate and detailed representations of land and structures. These services are indispensable in industries like construction, urban planning, real estate development, and infrastructure design. Engineers rely on precise land survey drafting to ensure the success of their projects, as it impacts everything from feasibility studies to final construction.

This blog will explore how land survey drafting services assist engineers, highlighting their importance, applications, and benefits.

Understanding Land Survey Drafting Services

Land survey drafting involves converting survey data into detailed drawings and maps. These drafts represent the physical features, boundaries, elevations, and other critical aspects of a site. The drafting process uses specialized software like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit to create highly accurate and scalable plans.

Key elements included in land survey drafting:

Boundary surveys: Define property lines and ownership.

Topographic surveys: Map land elevations and contours.

As-built surveys: Show existing structures and site conditions.

Construction staking: Provide precise location data for construction.

Subdivision plans: Guide the division of land into plots for development.

Benefits of Land Survey Drafting for Engineers

1. Enhanced Project Planning and Feasibility Studies

Accurate land survey drafting is the foundation of effective project planning. Engineers use these detailed drafts to:

Assess site conditions.

Identify potential challenges like uneven terrain or drainage issues.

Plan infrastructure layouts such as roads, pipelines, and utilities.

With reliable data at hand, engineers can make informed decisions, reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

2. Improved Design Accuracy

Engineers rely on survey drafts for precise design work. These drafts ensure that:

Architectural and structural designs align with site constraints.

Grading plans meet environmental regulations.

Utility placements are optimized.

Accurate survey data minimizes discrepancies between design intent and construction outcomes, ensuring seamless project execution.

3. Streamlined Regulatory Approvals

Compliance with local zoning laws and building codes is a critical step in any engineering project. Land survey drafting services provide the necessary documentation to:

Demonstrate property boundaries.

Show adherence to setback requirements.

Present accurate topographical data for environmental assessments.

Well-prepared survey drafts accelerate the approval process, saving engineers time and effort.

4. Enhanced Collaboration Across Disciplines

Land survey drafting bridges the gap between multiple stakeholders, including architects, engineers, and contractors. Clear and accurate drafts enable:

Better communication of design intent.

Improved coordination of workflows.

Faster resolution of potential conflicts.

Collaborative planning ensures projects stay on track and within budget.

Applications of Land Survey Drafting in Engineering

1. Civil Engineering

Civil engineers use survey drafting for designing and constructing roads, bridges, dams, and drainage systems. Topographic and boundary surveys provide crucial insights into terrain and land use, enabling efficient project execution.

2. Structural Engineering

Structural engineers rely on survey drafts to ensure that foundations and other structural components align with the site’s geotechnical conditions. Accurate as-built surveys help them verify that construction adheres to design specifications.

3. Urban Planning and Development

In urban planning, survey drafting services help engineers design layouts for residential and commercial developments. Subdivision plans, combined with topographic data, guide efficient land use and infrastructure development.

4. Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineers use survey drafting to assess and mitigate the environmental impact of projects. This includes mapping flood zones, evaluating drainage systems, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

5. Utility and Infrastructure Projects

Utility engineers depend on survey drafting for designing water supply systems, electrical grids, and telecommunications networks. Drafts provide critical data on terrain, property boundaries, and existing infrastructure.

Technology Driving Land Survey Drafting

Modern land survey drafting leverages advanced tools and technologies to deliver highly accurate results. These include:

1. CAD Software

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools like AutoCAD and Civil 3D allow engineers to create detailed 2D and 3D drafts. These tools improve drafting efficiency and provide precise representations of site conditions.

2. GIS Integration

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrate spatial data with survey drafts, providing engineers with insights into land use, zoning, and environmental factors.

3. Drone Surveys

Drones equipped with LiDAR and photogrammetry capture high-resolution data, which is then processed into detailed drafts. This technology significantly reduces the time and cost of traditional surveying methods.

4. Laser Scanning

Laser scanning generates accurate 3D models of existing structures and landscapes. Engineers use these models to ensure designs align with real-world conditions.

Why Engineers Should Outsource Land Survey Drafting

Outsourcing land survey drafting services to specialized firms offers several advantages for engineers:

1. Access to Expertise

Professional drafting firms employ experienced drafters who are well-versed in industry standards and software. This expertise ensures high-quality outputs.

2. Cost Efficiency

Outsourcing eliminates the need for in-house resources and software investments. Engineers can allocate their budgets more effectively by partnering with drafting service providers.

3. Faster Turnaround

Dedicated drafting teams can deliver accurate survey drafts within tight deadlines, allowing engineers to focus on core project tasks.

4. Scalability

Drafting service providers can handle projects of varying complexity and size, making them a flexible solution for engineers working on multiple projects.

Conclusion

Land survey drafting services are indispensable for engineers across disciplines, providing the foundation for accurate designs, streamlined workflows, and successful project execution. By leveraging advanced technologies and partnering with expert drafting firms, engineers can overcome challenges and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Whether it’s designing infrastructure, planning urban developments, or ensuring regulatory compliance, land survey drafting empowers engineers to build with confidence.

My Bold Housing Solution: 1.2 Million Identical Homes over 5 years.

As we are all well aware, Australia is grappling with a deepening housing crisis, exemplified by Sydney's average house price hitting $1.15 million.

My very ambitious proposal suggests a radical solution: building 1.2 million identical homes between 2025 and 2030 (these days will naturally have to be pushed out).

This mass-production approach aims to leverage economies of scale to address housing affordability while promoting regional development.

My proposal outlines a standardized 150m² home design featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living area, all built on generous 500m² blocks.

Each energy-efficient dwelling would achieve a 7-star NatHERS rating and include solar panels and smart home technology.

At $450,000 per house, the total project cost, including land acquisition and infrastructure, would reach $729 billion.

The implementation strategy I came up with centres on establishing centralized manufacturing facilities for off-site production, securing bulk material supplies, and developing a specialized workforce.

My plan would require 60,000 hectares of land and deliver 240,000 homes annually through streamlined construction processes.

Although not in my article but rather comments that I’ve added to it recently, my proposal extends beyond mere housing construction.

I advocate for capping major city populations and redirecting development to regional centres, citing 24 distinct advantages.

These benefits include reduced congestion, lower living costs, stronger regional economies, and improved disaster resilience.

The strategy emphasizes the advantages of developing greenfield sites over retrofitting existing infrastructure in crowded cities.

The timing of my proposal is I guess particularly relevant as Sydney faces infrastructure challenges, with planned water rate increases of 18% next year and 6.8% annually thereafter to fund system upgrades.

This situation highlights the strain on existing urban infrastructure and the potential benefits of planned regional development.

The 1.2 million standardized homes that would result from my proposal would provide ample space for future modifications, including the addition of granny flats or sheds, addressing multi-generational living needs and storage requirements.

Sure, my proposal sacrifices architectural diversity for efficiency but I just think we need to prioritise fundamental shelter needs and long-term sustainability over being picky (1st world problems eh’).

Critics will surely question my proposal's ambitious scope, but with housing affordability reaching crisis levels and interest rate changes potentially driving even more Australians into substantial long-term debt, innovative solutions are desperately needed.

I personally think that implementing such a program 15 years ago would have cost significantly less, highlighting the growing urgency of addressing Australia's housing challenges.

Not to mention all of the building/construction companies that have gone bust over the last 3 and a bit years would probably still be in business and thriving!

My very different and potentially silly approach to housing development represents a departure from traditional methods, offering a potential blueprint for addressing not just housing affordability, but also urban congestion, regional development, and infrastructure sustainability.

While my proposal's scale is unprecedented, it underscores the need for bold thinking in addressing Australia's housing crisis.

I hope you’ll be impressed with the level of detail that I’ve gone to with the scope of work, bill of materials and construction blueprint.
