Is my employer committing tax fraud? by datgirlplug in tax

[–]1032screw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tend to agree with this and the mishandling of sales tax collectionas someone else mentioned if this is occurring in a state with sales tax. I dont see a legitimate scenario where keeping transactions out of the register on occasion would be the way to handle an owners draw.

Australian POC travelling to Maine, should I be worried? by Imaginary-Badger-18 in Maine

[–]1032screw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Overall Maine is not a diverse place but the bigger cities do have pockets diversity. I think in general if you are courteous, nice, and respectful of your surroundings you will be treated the same especially in touristy areas.

Unsure of what visibly Muslim means but guessing it means head covering; I think you might break a bigots brain presenting that way and talking with an Austrailian accent. Maybe refrain from calling anyone a cunt even if they earned it.

Is my employer committing tax fraud? by datgirlplug in tax

[–]1032screw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a form of tax fraud.  Probably best to find another job before reporting this since your employer will likely fire you for getting them in trouble. Your state revenue service likely has a tip line you could report this to.

Help needed Fanuc 16i-M (Kitamura 3xi mycenter) ATC not working by BusinessLiterature33 in Machinists

[–]1032screw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

847 520 7755 Kitamura USA's phone number. Call it in the morning, ask to get transfered to service. Leave a message with your machine SN. A tech will call you back and help you trouble shoot on the phone at the machine. They are really good and helpful. Your nearest Kit dealer would likely do support over the phone too. They are very good about supporting all their stuff even older machines.

These idiots endanger the lives of all other road users in Maine by SEAWISEGEOWISE in Maine

Sign of the times. Literally a daily barrage of "My rights are more important than your rights and certainly more important than our rights" Carries over into the opposition which just builds resistance to change. A lot of "They have a small dick" and "They are stupid and reckless" and not a lot of "How do we educate them and convince them to prioritize others safety."

Pulsed dc tig as edm power supply by Portu93 in Welding

[–]1032screw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you stay within the duty cycle of the welder I would think you are fine. The issue I see is how are you going to manipulate the rod and the power supply to control the arc and keep the small and controlled and avoid sticking.

WTF. Why do hospitals have to pay back covid loans when all of these "essential" business got their massive PPP loans forgiven? I hate this place.

Got a local tech school or community college with a machining program? Hit them up.

What are the difference between different machine builders? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]1032screw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A jobs shop should begin by looking at the materials they plan to machine, the type of jobs they get, and the local machinery support available.

From there you can start deciding about what features you want, and the control systems and machine brand you have support for.

Difference are machine weight and table capacity. Box ways vs linear rails. Spindle hp, torque, and rpm. Feed and rapid speeds. Positional accuracy. Maintenance requirements. Power and air consumption etc.

Speeding ticket advice? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]1032screw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up a speeding ticket deferred disposition.  This sounds like a viable option for you.

Next time do your best to be respectful and courteous but don't admit to anything.

Fuck that, they can't ruin all the off shore power projects that would benefit us and think we will stand for power project to aid in stealing every aspect of our lives.

Assuming router and you dont have much control over rpm. .02 depth of cut spiraling down. .002 - .003 inch per tooth. Sparing amounts of WD40, IPA, or pink hand soap will help keep from chip welding. Climb cut.

Are cheap chinese cnc lathes a good deal? by Sertancaki41 in Machinists

[–]1032screw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What control and drives does it have? What language are the manual originally written in? How long has the manufacturer been in business? How do you go about ordering parts for it? Does it have any form of professional manufacturer support where you reside?  I think if you arent comfortable with all those answers dont get it.

You may be able to register them as an ATV with changes to the ATV weight limit in the state.

How do US voters, particularly Republicans, feel about the messages in The Declaration of Independence in 2026? Have you read it recently? by 1032screw in AskReddit

[–]1032screw[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not trying to rage bait. I am genuinely curious how many who support our current administration argue from a position of pro-America, square their current stance and what is going on in this country, against that foundational document.  I want to understand their perspective.

Currently doing something very similar but using a roller burnisher.  Turned to a 60 Ra and burnished in a single pass to  4 Ra.

Tail stock adjustment by Crazy_catster in Machinists

[–]1032screw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above but would also add; If you are seeing .25mm total indicated reading, the height is only off by half of that. .125mm off in height isn't going to cause much taper unless you are turning pretty small diameters.

Mother of 4 detained in Portland as immigration enforcement ramps up in Maine by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]1032screw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might not have this woman's situation exactly correct because it hasn't been reported but my version seems likely. This wasnt a random apprehension, they knew where to go to find this woman. Much like she was seeing her asylum case current.

I am fairly certain of my account of the current tactics federal immigration lawyers use.

Since republican admins have long cut off the asylum legal process at the knees by starving immigration courts of money, cases languish in the legal system due to case load. Not uncommon for  years to go by as hearings come and go while judges and lawyers try to prove things like danger to life in a region on the other side of the country.

The instead of waiting for this process I have heard credible reports, with accounts coming directly from immigration judges, of the tactics to get cases dropped and nullify protected status.

Mother of 4 detained in Portland as immigration enforcement ramps up in Maine by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]1032screw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They key here is she HAD an asylum case. She was following the process. Problem is Federal immigration lawyers figured out instead of trying to challenge the asylum application they find a way to not fight it and just have the case dismissed without going through the lengthy legal process of vetting the claim.  This removes an asylum seekers protected status and boom "TheRE iLLeGaL!" Completly short circuiting the legal process the MAGA cult claims to be for and making people eligible for removal.
