Everyone I know uses one of these!

Only kidding. I really enjoy the ka-chunk of this duder.

 

[Orchid PE]

To each his own, I say!

And maybe this younger generation of PE's are okay with inking, but it doesn't change the fact rubber stamping is a term used to describe anyone (not just engineers) that just stamp anything that comes across their desk or hand off their stamp for others to use.

And being a dick about it just makes you look like more of a dick.

Deal with it.

 

[DLD PE]

Heck no, I chisel all my drawings with cuneiform.

You should switch to hieroglyphics. It's the more respectable choice. Cuneiform has a negative connotation.

 

[MadamPirate PE]

I am a stamp.

No, no, sweetie, you're a snacc, not a stamp.

 

[MadamPirate PE]

Deal with it.

Or you could pull your head out of your butt and stop being convinced you're always right. What an awesome concept!

Oh yeah, that'll convince me to change my opinion!

*blushes*

Wait, snacc is a good thing, yes? I'm legit not sure.

False. Egyptians can suck it. Hittite kingdom fo' lyfe!

Well, when your head is that far up your butt, bullhokey is all you can see.

Yes, snacc is a good thing.

Big difference between the concept of "rubber stamping" and the physical act of using a wooden stamp with rubber seal to sign drawings.

 

[squaretaper LIT AF PE]

Just a Sumerian boy, livin' in a Hittite world...

 

[squaretaper LIT AF PE]

Yes, snacc is a good thing.

*swoon*

I'm ensorceled.

 

[DLD PE]

Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


This statement is narrowminded.

*Checks my 4 seals* Embossing.
*Checks my fathers 4 seals* Embossing.
*Checks his partner's 2 seals* Embossing.
*Checks colleague's 2 seals* Embossing.
*Checks all the other seals of every other PE I know* Embossing.

Hmmmm.... Interesting.

So you're telling me you and everyone you know emboss your construction drawings? Meaning, you have to hand-press the embosser, sign it, and either mail or hand deliver paper drawings to your client? That's a lot of money spent on paper and postage/gas.

Totally agree using a actual rubber stamp doesn't immediately make someone a rubber stamper. However, the stigma is still there because those that have perpetuated it.

Yes. Up until COVID, everywhere we worked the permitting departments required signed and sealed paper drawings. During/after COVID, most permitting departments finally switched to accepting electronically signed plans (even though the state requirements had already allowed electronic/digital for years). However, a single document containing the digital signature(s) of the electronically signed documents must still be physically signed/sealed/dated and submitted (For certain permitting departments, obviously. Some switched over to accepting digital signatures on the documents).

 

[MadamPirate PE]

So for the record, my seals are rubber and I did make myself digital versions, that I have password protected on my computer. I also digitally sign and seal my projects, which is also password protected. There is literally no way for my stamp to be used to "rubber stamp" anything, as I (and my company) take the use of seals very seriously. So much so, that when I was on vacation, I brought my work computer with me so I could sign/seal some drawings that had to go out.

In the digital age, inked stamps are the way to go.

That bad boy is RUBBER!

Well, yeah, it's still rubber, but I meant like, does apparently everyone use the wooden stamp with a separate ink pad rather than this?

Keep going with all the the insults! I think I'm finally starting to come around!
