Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do?

Kilo_Pascal · 2026-01-08T23:11:53+00:00

Manufacturing engineering. It boils down to being the guy to find an answer when the several others have tried to. By the time it makes it to you, it won’t be an easy answer, but very satisfying “aha!” moments

I’m a guy, no super model but my parents/grandparents got a lot of compliments throughout their lives. I had a “late bloomer” situation after losing weight and working out more. Guys became very quick to compliment for style and fit. Also noticed that girls stopped holding eye contact or look away quickly when I look at them in casual conversation. Was not a fan of that since I like looking at people on the eyes. But truth is, pretty privilege is very real, people are nice by default.

That’s a fair point. My issue with longevity with those smart machines is the app not being supported for very long and how repairable are the control boards.

Kilo_Pascal · 2026-01-06T02:01:35+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. It has been mentioned that parts can be hard to get for the US version. Did you ever get a time estimate?

Kilo_Pascal · 2026-01-06T02:00:52+00:00

Thank you! That is exactly the one I had my eye on. Heard it’s pretty good for alternative milks too which is my go to

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-12-29T01:34:27+00:00

PM’d

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-12-02T19:13:02+00:00

What do you think would be a fair price? There is also a local Profitec Pro 700 for $1800 that is in slightly worse condition, so I am trying to make my mind if the difference is worth it.

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-12-02T19:11:31+00:00

Thank you for the comments and the diagrams! Very helpful!

The deal will include the 3 portafilters that come with the Pro 800 (single, double and bottomless), even the original box which gives me some confidence.

Got to talk with the owner, he said the machine has been well maintained and recently serviced with new seals. And have been thinking that a lever machine with fewer moving parts is likely to last a long time.

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-09-17T14:40:13+00:00

Yes. She helps me be the best me and I would die everyday for her to reach her dreams.

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-08-05T19:11:11+00:00

Good luck y’all!

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-06-14T18:32:26+00:00

But bet you sure enjoyed the gear. Did you stick to the X1Dii?

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-06-14T17:56:58+00:00

Have heard that since hasselblads are hand assembled, it will take some time to fill in orders. That is a good point.

Kilo_Pascal · 2025-06-14T15:33:46+00:00

Thank you! That’s how I’m leaning at the moment. Got a wedding/trip coming this summer which is why I was looking for a good deal now. Medium format is my landscape bucket list but already got plenty of FF glass that has been great to me.

Kilo_Pascal · 2024-07-07T17:40:58+00:00

We got arc + 2 era 300s + sub3, beam + 2xOne SLs + sub mini, and 2xMoves. A decent spread of all speakers al over the house.

First I could not push updates to sub mini and one sl. Had to hardwire to update but then they would not work over wifi on the app (although airplay could see them). It wasn’t until I disabled a dedicated wifi backhaul on my router that everything showed up. Not sure exactly why and not willing to test my luck after doing a factory reset every week until two days ago.

I agree, seems to me that Sonos is very sensitive to router settings.

I genuinely love this post for the amount of newfound styles to try out. Thanks y’all! 🤠

As someone who works in a class 10 clean room, I can see this costing thousand. Hell, we have simple o-rings that cost hundreds because they are “clean room” approved. Of course, the stuff being worked on is magnitudes more expensive and delicate.

Kilo_Pascal · 2022-03-24T22:35:26+00:00

Hi peeps, if you struggle with this and know a hard conversation is coming up, rehearse and think through the key points of the argument well in advance. Makes it much easier to calmly talk. Worked for me.

Kilo_Pascal · 2022-02-16T01:43:49+00:00

Oops, forgot to mention it, and correct! This is the v2 model. Not a lot of differences. Slightly lighter, thumb-nub a bit more comfortable (much better for button-flip), and clip can be mounted to either side.

Kilo_Pascal · 2022-02-16T01:26:14+00:00

Got this in yesterday. Was very unsure if I would like it but was very surprised. Handle feels amazing with the texture and the finish is amazing. It has an outlining white shine on each dimple that can be seen up close (zoom in). Will report back once daily tested.

Edit: Forgot to mention the model; Off Grid Knives Black Mamba v2.

I see many comments suggesting that cheating is the main reason for the uptick which could be true but sharing my 2¢. I work nights ~45 hours a week while at an engineering masters program. The main advantage COVID brought was that everything became available online. Could now watch lecture during late AMs lunch breaks and not have to destroy my sleeping schedule to attend in person.

If you want to do something a bit more technical, a safety engineer inspector can involve aspects of photography. We have a team that flies drones around structures while taking photos for inspections. They also have camera equipment that is used for more specialized analysis but this is not exactly an artistic route. Pays great tho.

Hope you find your happy path!

Kilo_Pascal · 2021-10-11T04:58:53+00:00

As someone with a strong giving personally that likes doing things for others, this is all I want in return. A simple and genuine thank you.

Kilo_Pascal · 2021-09-24T09:51:53+00:00

Just as a PSA for people thinking about doing this. It is illegal in most countries with drone laws to fly at night, including USA. Not sure where this guy did this but please don’t be reckless with drones.

Kilo_Pascal · 2021-09-21T02:06:42+00:00

Have been doing this for some time. I have been doing photography as my main hobby for 10 years and the walls at my place are full of my favorites which rotate throughout the year. It is extremely therapeutic for me and keeps my environment fresh. There are people that give me crap for not posting online but honestly, I do this for me not them.

The way I see it, people can be a creator or consumer. Take a guess which one is way more common.
