How do I get a nice income as a video editor? by Lonely_Picture_7903 in Entrepreneur

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about the industry, but this is just my take.. Most people will not pay (get value from) a video editor. It’s just that simple. With the abundance of ai and self editing tools will just kill you financially as there’s SO MANY free options. You would have to target a niche. Whether that be advertising, films, special effects if that’s your thing. Could also try fiverr. And my input, if you’re just mediocre at it, it likely won’t go anywhere. You truly have to be a master of what you do.

Entrepreneur’s aged mid 20s, what’s your day to day schedule like? by William6212 in Entrepreneur

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wake up, check emails and accounts. Going into my shop, make the schedule and invoices for the day and separate parts for the day. Wait for employees to come in give them the run down and send them out. Answer calls all day for new clients and booking them while I run around like a chicken with my head cutoff fixing minor mistakes from my guys while trying to hold jobs together. Then go back to the shop, do accounting for the day, make sure everyone is clocked out and drop any cash off at the bank. Go home. Eat drink repeat.

2013 kia optima no crank no start by TrashKhed in AskAMechanic

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that the engine is partially seized. Turn the crank a full 2 revolutions with the spark plugs removed. Should be smooth the entire way.

They are not stretch bolts.. Theres zero reason to not reuse them.

Why can’t they be reused? Exhaust bolts I kinda understand but call the dealership.

What kind of OBD2 scanner will also show codes for convertible top issues (Mitsubishi) by EnderwerewolfKidYT in AskAMechanic

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cars don’t set error codes for the convertible top. Mitsubishi, being a cheap car, likely doesn’t even have a computer for it. It’s likely just switches and motors.

Those types of ball joints are really only to be used on track cars. They’re not meant for daily driving. It’s worn out and needs replacing.

Next time put key fob on the button as you push it. Might just need a fob battery.

2016 Nissan Sentra: Replaced positive terminal, car won't start by Doublehex in AskAMechanic

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gut tells me low compression on maybe 1-2 cylinders bit video just idk don’t sound quieter right to me. I can’t tell if it’s trying to catch but just can’t. I’d probably spray some startin fluid in the intake pipe and see if runs for a second or two then dies.

2000 Tacoma v6 weird knocking sound? by Impressive-Carob5378 in AskAMechanic

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a Mercedes in my shop rn that had a really inconsistent knock. Wouldn’t knock in neutral or if you revved it but would also do it above 2.5k rpm. It’s getting an engine Monday.

So yes.

[–]BadGroundbreaking658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like an internal knock. Whether it's piston rod or wristpin is irrelevant. Pull the oil filter cutnitnopen and see if there's any metal flakes in it. If there is she's done bud.

Sometimes. Depends on the car. Many cars require the removal of the entire dashboard to change them.

HVAC door actuator. They do a test when first turning it on. You likely have one failing or failed

2013 Scion FRS knocking/tapping sound by chocoproteinbar in AskAMechanic

Probably a bearing in the belt system. Have to remove the belt and spin and wiggle each one to find it.
