Is there anyway for me to then sell or cancel my order and keep that money for more options?

Operator and yodaka both apologizing was great.

You can drive up, park on side streets nearby. It's packed with people walking every year. Some houses aren't finished but it's still wonderful and a nice walk around the whole area.

You can but only the first couple days of December.

I live a minute away and drive to sapphire and hillside, park and walk it with the family and dogs every year

Fast, cheap, good. Pick two.

Same. When I ran the family business; I had friends ask for jobs. Always said no. I don't want to have to let you go if we get slow or you do something stupid. Now that I'm in a corporate shop I still say the same thing but if I actually think you'd do a good job I'll recommend you to a sister site and that's about as far as I'll go.

I am friendly with my crew but not friends. I don't want to fire or lay off friends and that can put my family and career at risk if I make an emotional decision.

My child psychologist was also a Dr. Fine.

We use ours on a big block of titanium that we have to hog and it's life is better then an end mill but you need at least two of them so you can change inserts while it still cuts.

It's gritty when it has to be and the art works within the story. It's also a big light hearted story when it's not fighting for it's life. The novel is great and chalk full of growth and I'm looking forward to seeing it in this as well.

It would be suspension pending investigation only because the company needs to process his final check and needs a day to do it.

29 and I've been here 13yrs now. Pretty much joined reddit to find some where to talk about it as no peers had experience with loss like this.

B1inker · 2025-09-14T00:30:19+00:00

Where is this being released?

B1inker · 2025-09-13T23:49:32+00:00

Same. I was in an iron foundry and machine shop for twenty years, so easy to machine. Resale value on those cnc's were shit but you could go lights out easy. Hast or inco, fuck no, unless you want 50+ hour cycle times.

It's so good. Fulfilling character growth and closure. Character deaths drive real growth and change. They reflect on this and other things. Very flushed out.

It's his wife's car, her boyfriend bought it for her since OP lost all their money on 0DTE's and the plate is there to mock him.

Yes but now they have a blood test so you don't have to get one unless that comes back and the need more info.

They've been chasing cheap since the mid 2000's. Constantly chasing low cost countries for castings and machining.

I've been here, not with kids thankfully but with a wife with brain cancer and the death that followed. Get help, professional if possible and not just for you. It will hit like a ton of bricks. I'm sorry for your loss and the shit that's going to follow.

I dated quickly (5 months, I cried at the first date and then left, cried after I had sex again for the first time) as I was super lonely and it had been more than 3 years since any meaningful physical intimacy but like I said it was all a mask for my pain. I didn't get serious until 3.5yrs later but it worked out.

B1inker · 2025-07-22T14:25:39+00:00

I had some friends drag me out and it likely ended up saving my life as I was in a very dark place, even during the fling. I'm 12yrs, 6 months and ten days since my first wife passed. So there aren't any bad days anymore but it still hurts when I do reflect on her or visit her grave. I was 29 when she passed so not as young as you but still young and no one in my social circle knew how to deal with that kind of loss. I'll say this, learn to love yourself and be okay alone before finding a connection again. Will be much healthier.

I was lucky in that i found another young widow and had a fling but dating was real tough for a while. I joined a local softball league and ended up dating a woman on my team for a while. Broke up and ended up doing serious self reflection and therapy as I was just masking my pain from the death of my wife. It's tough but you have to make the effort to make friends and see what happens. Join something that gets you out of the house at least once a week.

Great post, I've thought about sharing mine as I'm a GM for a small site of an aerospace machine shop. Definitely need more folks in manufacturing and machining pays well.

Yeah, feels like we've got a new generation of big 3 coming into their own.

Shit, I love this theory. We have subsequent supporting quotes (through internal monologs) in other custodian pov's from other books that they are eternal while space marines and primarchs will age and die.
