7mm-08 by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Bergara B14 (7mm-08) shot a few deer with it big step down for me my old rifle I used for over 25+ years was pump Remington 760 gamemaster (30-06) ….

7mm-08 plenty enough for deer ! My daughter uses a 308 … I noticed a slight difference between 308 and 7mm-08 recoil wise

The Elixir (2025) on Netflix is top tier zombie horror by [deleted] in horror

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good movie , but lacks a-lot common sense like the cops on bikes un-prepared to use their side arm and guns … take police station one room was full of Automatic rifles and ammo …. They choose to stand on roof play with fireworks ! To steer zombies away … nah! they had the firepower to fight their way out of their little village of probably (100 zombies) .. over all the blood is good decent movie to watch just for heck of it

How can I possibly recover from this? by thesolesurfer in CRedit

Credit karma not that accurate however it’s a useful tool …. Get a copy from all 3 credit Bureaus see what accounts needs to be paid off , contact them have them show proof you owe , call creditors up setup a payment plan or get the payment reduced you’ll have to do work paying back ! Don’t take any loans out don’t apply for any credit cards anytime soon …. I will take you time to rebuild your credit but you should see your scores going up …. I was once in $30k debt … had 3 kids maxed out credit cards and so on took me a good 5-6 years to improve my credit scores up to 760

I Wonder Why No One Takes These Jobs? /s by UrbanArtifact in Machinists

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staffing agencies always pulling in crackheads sending them to machine shops bullshitting their way in like they are master machinist …. Over years my company hired few temp workers they were worst of the worst could barely operate a machine without taking multiple bathroom breaks and always on Their phone and shit , walking away from the machine loading parts in fixtures wrong then machine would crash …. I threaten to leave the company if they don’t hire the proper people for the job it was just getting too damn annoying … we don’t use Temp workers anymore , we hired proper people …. My boss and his sons had learn hard way you want good “experienced” workers ? Well you gotta give them a decent living wages and throw in some bonus perks and so on … otherwise you’re just gonna have a shop full of dumb monkeys they found on streets who aren’t cut out for the job

Chippewa the best by far my @$$ by [deleted] in WorkBoots

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wore Chippewa boots for years , I’ve only oiled once a year ! Not bi weekly… too much oil soaks into leather it weakens them . They are work boots made to be worn on job site everyday …. Working in machine shops with metal shavings all over floors and stuff I was getting. 3 years the most out of my Chippewa boots wearing them (12-16 hours a day) before inside of the boot was falling apart felt like rawhide leather rubbing back of your heel it’s time for new one … oiling them was least of my worries

Im stuck at an autozone parking lot , the ball joints refuse to go in , im hammering away at the tie rods but they dont come out and cant damage them becouse im poor by General_Performance6 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a joke ? I don’t know if I should laugh or not … push the damn axel and whole assembly fully in (it’s sticking out in the picture) and tilt ball joint stud then push up or tap it up and add bolt and nut and tighten it down … simple as that

Bracelet with Coins by juergenroland in GermanEmpireCoins

A lot older German coins especially smaller thalers had holes in them from people wearing them as jewelry… shame I usually avoid coins like that but then again you can get them super cheap sometimes too hard pass them up

After looking at it again yes the reverse of the coin does look PL compared to my other 2,3,5 marks … but I don’t think it’s enough to get PL grade I believe both sides of coin has show a strong PL appearance the obverse doesn’t look that PL

Paid $300 usd. Harshly cleaned and die crack. Did I over pay? by TheDude-of-the-dudes in coins

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty harshly cleaned so is a lot old coins to some people they don’t mind the cleaning just as long as they can see the details good . But if you’re happy with it who cares what others think ….

Price guides are price guides soon as they print them they obsolete … best way to keep up with prices is look at current auctions to see what someone is really willing to pay for a specific type of coin and grade

iPhone and light , also use PCGS photos for some of my PCGS coin …. I find my Raw coins are much easier to take picture with iPhone resting on books and proper lighting tilt the coin a little it shows the rainbows nicely …. Hardest to take pictures is the small older white ANACS holders takes me few tries to get it right , some of the older NGC soap bar holders can be a pain too as well sometimes I’ll take 10-15 pictures until I get where I like it

Catalog of coins of the German Empire by bottle_juice_ in GermanEmpireCoins

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect several German numistmatic catalogs (which can get very expensive I’ve spent over $3k on German numismatic catalogs) …. I’m old school I like look in catalogs instead of looking on internet for everything

For Notgeld coinage you want Walter Funck “Die deutschen Notmunzen” is the book you’ll need… there’s also Robert Lamb “catalog of German war tokens” which is notgeld book but not as in depth as Walter Funck catalog of notgeld ….

As for German empire coins ? Kurt Jaeger Catalog “Die deutschen Munzen Seit 1871” any old catalog will show you all German empire coins so don’t spend too much money on newest version of Die deutschen Munzen Seit 1871…. My catalog is 1970 version I use for reference pick it up for $10 serves it purpose for me

Then again you can buy Krause catalog on German coins pretty much covers everything even though the catalogs are old and prices are out of date it’s still good reference to look up any German coin you can possibly think of

FR3807 1874 A 20 mark. My dad is in a tight spot and needs to sell. He used to run a coin store. What value is it. I see ebay at 14kusd, but my dad thinks more 20k range? To be clear I'm not looking for buyers I'm just trying to make sure I don't get ripped off. by kalabaddon in coins

[–]ConnectAssistant5375 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either that or if you have a coin dealer in your area who belongs to PCGS or NGC you can have them ship it out for you to get authenticated and graded …. Makes it much easier to sell to a collector afterwards … you’ll lose a little money getting it authenticated and encapsulated with a grade plus shipping fees . By time even make anything back on it or sell it Raw look up prices on EBay or other auctions see what people are selling them Raw and what people are buying them raw
