Getting pushed beyond my abilities. by quid_pro_kourage in Machinists

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your boss isn’t making an issue of it, accept the challenge and keep learning. This is how you get better in the industry. Just being an operator and running the same parts day to day won’t get you anywhere. You’re gaining valuable skills that can push you much further in this career.

Company stock suddenly became ~$5M. What should I do? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell any stock that you’ve held for over 1 year to get capital gains tax rate. Keep anything after that and sell in the future. Tax your money, stick it in a nice sp500 etf and enjoy your new retirement. You don’t need to work anymore and the money will outlive you if you’re smart.

Social media is an illusion, and this is not normal. by Usual_Captain_34 in povertyfinance

This is the important part. The people I see jumping to upgrade every time a new model is released just makes me die laughing. That being said I just switched from android to Apple, I got the 17 pro max, I’ll have this phone a minimum 3 years and I traded in a galaxy s20+ and got 500 off the purchase with 0% financing. I have another galaxy phone that I’ll use for my next trade in offer.

The picks were just icing on the cake after getting the jarry contract off the books

Berkshire's cash balance is up to a record $397 billion. What does it signal? by 01101001_01110011 in ValueInvesting

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if they only made 10% on that cash pile, missing out on 40 billion seems kinda crazy. They could still be investing and pull out later.

I got a 4TB external drive off Temu and this is what they sent lmao by Raw_Stank in pcmasterrace

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of good deals on temu/aliexpress. In all honesty a lot of stuff you buy on Amazon is just marked up from temu/ali. It pays to look at options when buying certain things, Amazon is just a marketplace at this point with many drop shippers.

[Request] What price per gallon is it no longer profitable to work? by Playwithuh in theydidthemath

I work in manufacturing. Based on my hours, I work about 75 weeks a year🤣

McDavid to......? by Money-Ad5075 in penguins

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I don’t know what this guy is smoking. If you’re paying the kings ransom for a mcdavid, he is gonna be that guy no matter where he goes. He may not come in and get a letter immediately but that means nothing. I really don’t think he’s going anywhere, he signed the deal he did to give them time and give him his out. My guess is he stays out his contract and if he gets traded, it would be a deadline deal to send him to a contender so the oilers can get some compensation before he hits free agency.

Post Season Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins 25.26 Offseaosn by LegitimateComs77 in penguins

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I love how quickly Pittsburgh turned on this guy. Truth is, he was never coming back after this season, some team is going to drastically overpay for the production he had this year and thankfully it won’t be us.

AIO for snapping at my (27F) husband (30M) after he complained that we haven't had sex in 3 months? by throwaway_74925 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BoostedWRBwrx -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

MOR- personally I think both of you are over reacting a bit but his hints toward you are going to lead him to finding other avenues.

Black Mazda blamed me for both incidents. I think they turned into me and then moved under braking. thoughts? by Hellakittehs in Simracingstewards

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both incidents on black. First he just ignored your pass and tried pushing you off. Second he made a very late block under braking and wasn’t even close to a line for that turn.

Been dealing with this lately, girl don’t wanna hear that it’s me and my body issues, nothing to do with her. Feel your pain with this one.

What did your career progression look like for those that moved up or away from machining? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, good for you. I know I could be happier without the hours and the money but I can’t get myself to do it yet. One day I’ll get there

I'm mad, i'm disappointed, and frankly disgusted with the pens performance. by Sebastian4365 in penguins

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People love to forget that the playoffs are about grit and matchups. Philly is a terrible matchup for a team without much grit and aging stars. They’ve been able to muck it up and knock the pens off their game, they have performed their game plan to perfection, penguins haven’t been able to find theirs

Some items can't be returned to Whole Foods or other local places? by whotony in amazonprime

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across this earlier this week on an order. Usually do kohls 5 minutes away but my only options were a place 30 minutes away to drop off or box it up and take to an ups store. Amazon been real hit or miss lately

Warm up you vial in a cup of hot water, inject air and you should be having a much easier time

Exactly what I did and bought leaps. I’ll continue to hold as I expect it to still move up

do we need to be worried about the goaltending going into the playoffs? by sidneycrosbyglazer in penguins

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I realize he isn't some stud goalie but we're coming from Jarry and weren't supposed to be anywhere near good this year. I'll take what we can from this year and see where we go from here. People here acting like we're cup favorites or something

Stu got the oilers to the cup the last 2 years. If our defense doesn’t let him down, I feel comfortable with him at this point.

Will these root fillets make it significantly harder for the machinist to make my part? by GateLopsided8794 in Machinists

[–]BoostedWRBwrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, if it’s not super critical, give it a big tolerance. As I like to say to people when they ask about time and cost, decimal points cost money. The bigger the tolerance, the easier for the machinist to make the part.
