Sounds good, what is the typical workflow aggregating sheet sets in question for a certain phase? I assume user collates and drops for analysis?

where would my firms documents end up (on whos servers) to do this checking? I dont know how any firm would just hand out their cd's just like that?

Or is being that lax normal these days?

Aside: this field is insanely frustrating, the chasm between clash detection and resolution is a right ball ache...between acc, revizto, and aconex clash detection (and the like)..the defacto standard is pretty much telling me x is touching y....great...can you group this crap intelligently to get my hi rise clashes per discipline from 2000 down to 10? Can you navigate me there in revit (yes switchback in revizto is great) but revizto itself could improve.

News just in...bassists can alter timbre by touch!? I agree, can these scientists seriously go and do some real work? What an embarassment.

In same industry, our head of customer relations was asked recently, why did we award the job to x company? His reply hilatiously was: "i had lunch with him last, thats really how it works", made me chuckle. You must grease the wheels...always.

Procreate and Fastmail are under rated?? Seriously people...

Fast Automation, Concep, Applied Robotics come to mind. There are some quantum computing companies based in Sydney too.

Carbonated beverages expand once swallowed, not helpful if your LES is relaxed.

I had the same diagnosis, and treatment was getting on serious antidepressants for their nerve dulling properties.

After getting that diagnosis. I eat everything within reason. I decided not to take medication, knowing whats up with my body is sufficient. I mainly try to do all eating 4 hrs before bed.

What i have read is that covid may be responsible for micro lesions in the esophagus...acidic foods are essentially rubbing salt in the wounds.

Just a note about VH - it is more so over sensitivity to regular digestive function. Which is why feeling super full after eating/dispepsia is common as well. Im sure you did a 24 hr acid monitoring test - i pressed the reflux button during all my trigger foods and was surprised to see ph levels as neutral.

I left whatsapp long ago when it was bought by meta, due to my privacy beliefs. I quit facebook in 2007 when i caught negative behaviour patterns. Im staunchly anti social media, however it would be dishonest not to note that it is lonely, organising anything is tedious, you have no access to the used goods marketplace (fees on sales platforms are too high). I dont really know if privacy is worth it. But tbh the thought of going back makes my skin crawl.
