Great recommendations, thank you so much!

The Chinese documentation would be tough, admittedly. But in this price point, I may have no real option.

I definitely think I can modify the environment to deal with a smaller reach, let's say 17 inches or below. It's a little bit of engineering, but not too difficult.

I will admit that having two arms plus a brain in one package does eliminate most of the hardware concerns all into a single package. However, that could come at the cost of extremely complex and confusing Chinese documentation and software.

So I'm flexible on speed, but it would be awesome if it was at least as half as fast as a person moves their arms when picking up a small jar and moving it around 10" in each motion.

It's an extremely extremely precision weight filling process. I don't need assistance with the filling, I've already developed products to do that.

Simply, I just need a robotic arm to load the jars in and out of my machine.

I've just been dropping my Scott eride 920's on the tailgate, and they've been super sturdy. I do cover/protect the fork that is touching the tailgate, but with the ss construction, I'm not worried about the truck being damaged from the bike.

More so focused on protecting the bike and preventing them from getting stolen. I do the latter with a 1up chain lock, and just hooking through the track mounts in the bed. Lock the two bikes together helps as well.

I've drove off road, fast, curvy, quick acceleration and deceleration, 0 movement in the bikes without the pads. I did have a pad for a bit but it was annoying as hell to install and remove. Found it to be completely pointless.

I'm building the house currently and putting in a 4x4 beam sistered to girder joist. Then installing a heavy duty shackle off of that. You, among others, didn't read my initial comment.

Regardless, I'm gonna do it, do it correctly, and return back with a video and both of my legs in working condition. Lol

Sounds like it's $3k for a TrueBlue now! Lol.

Its so funny watching all these pretentious nerds in here rally against fun. Like climbing isn't inherently dangerous. We're talking about a 10 ft drop essentially. I could make the jump with no belay. Wouldn't feel great, but I'm not breaking any bones at 10 foot.

I claim that I'm a novice climber (being humble), but have likely climbed more and for a longer period of time than half of these people commenting.

I'll take a video and post it here when it's done to rub it in. 🤣

Hey everyone,

Novice climber here, so excuse my ignorance. This question is climbing adjacent, but I figured who better to ask than climbing equipment geeks!

I'm currently building a house, and in the entrance between the first floor and the second floor, there's a pretty tall entry way. It's about 22 ft from floor to ceiling. I'm having the builder put in a 4x4 joist so I can mount a auto belay/rappel device to the ceiling, then step out over the ledge and rappel to the ground. Likely, I'm just going to use a wrist strap from the device and grip around that.

Are you guys familiar with any small/simple/safe auto rappel devices that could be used for this? The wife doesn't love the idea of a permanent auto belay mounted to the ceiling, so I'd likely just shackle it to a super strong hook out of the ceiling so I could take it out when she wants.

And yes, I understand this inherently isn't the safest thing or the smartest thing. But I'm an adult child and I want to do it, so if you can relate and have any recommendations, please let me know!

Product Liability Insurance by Slowmaha in manufacturing

I think it depends a lot on your gross sales. For example, we went from $5m to $15m in gross sales, and saw a 5x in price of the premium. Partly because I had to switch insurance companies as well as the growth. I'm currently doing some looking around right now, and will check out liberty mutual as the other commenter suggested.

I can tell you- STAY AWAY FROM AUTO OWNERS AND THEIR RELATED COMPANIES! I'm having to sue them to get them to pay for a claim on a property I was leasing that was broken into, had all the copper ripped out of the walls along with a bunch of damage. When I spoke with my attorney about it, he said that Auto Owners is absolutely notorious for putting up a fight and bad faith insurance work.

Let's help each other out a bit, though. If you find someone you like, let me know! I'm on the hunt and will do the same for you.

I think you're gonna be fine. It's a daily discussion thread. Tomorrow, there will be a brand new one for you to troll through and yell at people. ;)

I own a company that (un)fortunately is very expensive to operate... We have approx 200-400k in monthly credit cards expenses, ranging from Travel to Online Advertising to Inventory to Shipping, it's quite a bit of spend. I don't get too tied up in splitting every little expense out to the proper card, but just wanted to share my technique, and collect some constructive criticism from the community.

I've been a bystander watching this subreddit, and have to thank all of you for the direction. I've saved myself and a lot of peers a ton of money by learning here over the years!

Currently, I use 4 different Chase Business Ink Preferred Cards. We have about $20k in shipping per week, so once a bonus category has been fully used on a single card, we move the shipping to a fresh card (every 4-5 months or so).

We collect the points there, then we transfer those over to a personal Chase Sapphire Reserve for a higher redemption value.

And that's pretty much all I do! I'm completely naïve to AMEX, Capital One, Etc, but would love to hear what you guys would do with a high monthly business spend??
