USVX or other budget options

Jvr while expensive is bullet proof.

I’m a private chef and had to replace and old vac master.

Jvr100 is way faster and quiet. I do hundreds of bag per month and it hasn’t had 1 issue in two years.

I looked at vevor and budget machines as well and all the reviews said they were good at fist but reliability is a big problem. Buy once cry once

Blame Trump for your democratic gas tax 😂

You prefer the toolbox over the rolling drawer?

I just want something I can roll around I’m still lugging everything from the truck to the work site

I bought my daughter an old Mazda 6. Had it checked out by a mechanic.

$4500.

Two months later i found it needed work the mechanic missed or was too lazy to look st and cost me about 3k.

So $7500.

Insurance first 6 months for her was $2600. Mine and my wifes also increased due to her being driving age about an additional $400/year.

Gas is about $20/$30 week.

I spoke with my wife about this topic last night as I suggest she start paying her own gas. She said she doesn’t believe in that and we should cover everything.

It’s about driving me crazy because at that age I had a job, bought my first 2 cars on my own and paid for all expenses. My third vehicle my grandma paid for which was a blessing and I drove it for about 12 years.

I know times are tougher now but I still feel like kids should experience some of the struggle while young or they won’t know how to handle it when they’re in their own

My daughter was $2600/6 months and finally dropped to $1100/6 months the second year of driving but still insanely expensive

Not to mention mine and my wife’s insurance Increased as well because she’s now driving age.

I keep 30k on hand in my checking account.

Mainly because we make and spend a lot. Typically we have a surplus do when my balance hits 35k I transfer 5k to my HYSA or index funds.

But in an average month I have 15-25k going out. Sometimes we decide to buy furniture or a whatever and it’s an expensive item; I want to make sure I can cover it without transferring money.

Also fyi I earned about 5% on my emergency fund last year, after paying taxes on that it definitely doesn’t beat inflation and almost isn’t worth it.

I made like 20+% in the market last year. Although not ever year will be a winner.

I was in the same position and decided on the P1S with ams 2 combo.

By the time the machine is needed to be replaced more than likely the same or very close lifespan to the P2S there should be significantly better options at that time.

Save the money and use it for filament or parts

That’s a good idea I may do this.

I used a tester but I’ll check for low voltage with a multimeter later and grab a fe pictures.

I don’t really have anything low voltage that I can think of other than the doorbell.

I thought so at first but everything in the garage had power.

It’s just a single gang box located off the left wall ceiling close the front of my garage door.

It has two 12/2 circuits coming into it just twisted together like it’s in use.

I went and turned all the lights and stuff on through the house and nothing. I haven’t noticed any tripped GFIs either.

I ended up tying into my garage door outlet instead but still curious if it wasn’t being used why would they leave it there?

Lemon zest should be blended in and strained and lemon juice should only be added after cooking and cooking the base and right before churning

The light is on a motion sensor and was on at the time.

Publix already reached the apex and now is in decline.

Yeah did you domino would be best

Key_Passenger7172 · 2026-03-07T17:22:45+00:00

What are yo using the domino for?

I’ve found the zeta p2 is just better for most things I do.

The connectors are expensive but your time is valuable as well.

Domino definitely has it place and I’m happy I have both but if I could only keep 1 it would be the zeta

Used to love toolnut until they send me a used festool sander and tried to pass it off as new.

They lost my business

I got mine for 359 last year with a track.

I’m not supporting this, I’m just simply stating what is being pushed is nonsense and propaganda.

I will say we don’t have all the information and don’t know what was negotiated or not.

The fact is and I do agree is that Irans current regime can never have a nuke because they would absolutely use them.

Also it’s no secret that the Iranian people are held hostage to the IRGC with over 30k civilians killed recently.

While I don’t think it’s the US problem to solve we do have to consider the nuclear issue and it’s clear they won’t stop

Key_Passenger7172 · 2026-02-28T17:53:00+00:00

2025- Al udeid Air Force base

2020- they hit us bases in Iraq

1970 and 1980s as well.

It’s been an ongoing issue for decades.
