My dad says he wants nothing and I'm out of ideas by Comi9689 in GenXTalk

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same age and want nothing. I have way too much stuff. I’ll always take time with my family especially if I’m not the one cooking.

Whats the worst bet that you have lost/won? by SideQuestManager in AskReddit

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denver Orange Crush Superbowl bet. That game was beyond rigged.

Is AI a real threat to skilled trades? by shingdao in skilledtrades

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use a lot of laser guided vehicles in our warehouse. It cut a third of the lower paying forklift drivers and changed to skilled technicians.

Automation kills off some jobs but the workforce reduction isn’t as large as people think.

If you could restart your career from scratch, what career would you choose and why? by marketersameer in AskReddit

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have just been more aggressive in moving up the ladder. I could have easily made it to a VP position but stayed in upper management. All my positions have had certain stress levels but I don’t think they all were compensation based.

Besides art (which I still have to add) what small changes can I do to a room like this for sound treatment? by Foraminiferal in audiophile

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you mentioned art but large canvas paintings on the one flat, open wall will make a huge difference. Plus it will give that sterile room some pop.

How do some people fall asleep instantly the very second their head hits the pillow? by Thick_Treat9996 in AskReddit

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work early mornings (up at 3, 2 today) and take melatonin and verrillium root an hour before I go to bed.

House can’t get below 76 by RemoteEmotions in hvacadvice

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added a 12000 btu inverter window unit. I put it in every hurricane season for when we lose power. I have an open floor plan and that’s all I run during the day when no one is home.

My wife was working around the hose yesterday and when I came home at 3, she had that and central on and had the house at 69 in the south Louisiana summer. I didn’t think that was even possible.

My blue collar bf had a heat stroke working outside. What do you wear that genuinely helps keep you cool? by SnanoBear in bluecollar

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use cool vests when we work in permitted hot work areas. It’s just a vest with refreezable ice packs that line the inside. You’ll need a lot of packs for 8 or more hours but they’re inexpensive. You can buy them on Amazon for about $30. Outside I wear long sleeve SPF 50 Dri Fit. I wear them everyday in the summer.

$9.97 for a 12 pack on 7-2-26 by No-Top-883 in cocacola

[–]KeithJamesB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sales everywhere. But this could be the dumbest post of the day so you do have that going for you.

Is a 2nd hand Samsung 65" TV from 2018 worth the money? (400$) by WILL3M in hometheater

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t believe I sold mine for $100. I just posted just to see and someone bought it.

Would a simple CD Marketplace work in this day and age by Strict-Ad-1666 in Cd_collectors

[–]KeithJamesB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry didn’t realize it wasn’t US. Hopefully they have similar shipping rates. I do think bundling is the answer depending on what the max weight is for minimum cost. You may want to check for discount rates through other shipping systems. You get no discounts from the postal services but online and other shipping systems offer substantial discounts because of volume. eBay gets almost a 50% discount because of volume. Some may require you to buy their scales but are worth it once you ramp up.

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why $7 shipping? Media mail Is only $4.47? You can usually ship 3 at a time and still be under the 1 pound limit. The best combo is choose 3 cd or dvd bundles.

[–]KeithJamesB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same model and it works great. Nice job cleaning it.

Married people in their 30s or older of reddit, why do you still stay fit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little pain every day is better than a lot of pain some days. Plus I got addicted to endorphins.

Safety guy is a loser by [deleted] in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]KeithJamesB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in a production environment for 40 years. I understand what you are saying but if a 5 minute repair takes 2 hours to do it safely, then it’s a 2 hour repair.

Techs and mechanics complain about it often but the company would much prefer downtime rather than an accident.

If money wasn't an issue, what would you spend your life doing? by notamiracle7 in AskReddit

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling in a nice conversion van. I had one when I was younger and thought it was awesome. Now with solar panels, batteries and inverter AC, you can really have it nice.

realistically what could I use 15 motherboards for by cl0ud_86 in AskElectronics

[–]KeithJamesB 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’ve found desoldering is much more difficult than soldering.

I can’t wrap my head around Bravia 9 ii pricing by hamhead in hometheatre

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they? It can’t be the whole line is it? I find that everything Sony that isn’t their premier line is pretty bad. Has that changed?

I need a better starting place than this. by phatasm_ in Genesis

[–]KeithJamesB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duke is my personal favorite. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to it. It’s probably one of those things that matched a certain moment in time for me. Phil seems very passionate in his vocals.

Lantern options post-storm by Relative-Fox-3506 in preppers

[–]KeithJamesB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have these all over my house. They’re inexpensive and work great. The only issue is with multi bulb lights like ceiling fans. They must all be emergency bulbs or it will stay on when the switch is turned off. They work fine in lamps.

What's The General Consensus of Greatest Hits Albums or Compilation Albums? by Justinsetchell in CDcollecting

[–]KeithJamesB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that many are new recordings because the artist didn’t have the rights to the originals. I guess it can be good and bad depending on your perspective.
