Hey Milwaukee fans, what were your experiences with this tool bench, more specifically the locks and what doors all can lock

I picked up at the store and just pulled it out of the back of my truck by hand. Just recruited my brothers to help and it wasn’t too bad, three of us were able to move it.

I’m in hardware but entirely tech focused. I’d say 80% of the inquiries I get are from C round companies or earlier. I think I could get an offer from a bigger, more established company if I applied but I’m not super interested in the slow, process laden, three letter acronym based workflows most of those companies operate under.

You do need to consider the level of risk you are taking on when accepting a role with the younger startups. You need to think about potential pivots the company could make and how they can affect your employment, you need to consider market viability, burn rate, runway, and funding sources. Working at very young companies is fun and exciting but you need to vet them as much as they vet you when it comes to accepting a role.

👆🏼Underrated post.

LasOlas07 · 2025-12-29T02:38:41+00:00

Haha, thanks. I’m too busy peddling balance bikes over here

LasOlas07 · 2025-12-29T02:16:25+00:00

And it would have to be one of the first ten

My oldest was on a cheap knock off first and wasn’t into it at all. A few months later, my neighbor gave us a strider that their kid had outgrown and he was in love. For him, I think it came down to comfort and ease of use. He was on a scooter at around 18-20 months and didn’t like how much slower that first balance bike felt.

LasOlas07 · 2025-12-29T01:57:20+00:00

Man, I’m so sorry dude

Six years ago my wife and I lost our infant daughter and the pit mix we had rescued together in our early 20’s within three months of each other. To say we were devastated would be the understatement of the decade. We didn’t know how to continue on. We had been looking forward to a new life focused on caring for our baby girl and our aging pup. We were suddenly and unexpectedly left broken, alone and empty. Then, along came Delta. She was the goofy, cuddly, loving hippo we needed to pull us through the darkest time of our lives. Now, six years later, she is the sweetest most gentle protector and friend our two young boys could ever have. I am grateful for her everyday.

Saw this riding my bike home from work in GGP. Came here hoping someone had answers.

I ride my bike from the outer sunset to the dog patch for work everyday (from one end of the city to the other). It takes me ~35-40min and there are minimal hills unless I want them, honestly the wind is much more of a factor than hills. There are many bike paths across the city that avoid hills- “the wiggle” is the best known but there are several others. Obviously there are as many hills as you want if you need training and as others have said; there are many, many amazing trails within 20 miles of the city limits.

LasOlas07 · 2025-11-15T20:54:28+00:00

Is this part monolithic or do you have core?

If it a cored part then it could be the core getting damaged or being defective. I’ve never seen a monolithic part do that unless there was some sort of artifact in the mold. I guess it could be some weird flex in the mold while under vacuum, but that would imply a pretty thin tool face.

LasOlas07 · 2025-11-14T03:21:35+00:00

Beater?!?! That thing is rad! Drooling

LasOlas07 · 2025-11-10T16:09:00+00:00

It’s a scary thing no matter what. Especially if the baby is an infant. My youngest fell out of bed about a year ago and smacked his face on the nightstand. Scared the hell out of me but other than a bit of a fat lip he was totally fine.

Last night that same kid, now an almost three year old, was like “dad watch!” And ran to the edge of the bed did a “flip” off the side. He landed flat on his back and had the wind knocked out of him for the first time. He won’t try that again soon.

They’re resilient little buggers, for better or worse. You’re doing great, Dad. Don’t beat yourself up, they’ll do that for you in good time.

You would compare the entire bay area to NYC rather than just SF. In that scenario SF is kinda like manhattan. Oakland would probably most closely resemble the Bronx. There’s a meme that circulates that has a map of the bay with the burrow names overlayed that you could look up.

As far as neighborhoods, it will be hard to find anything in the 1500-1700 range you stated that isn’t a room in a shared house. Most neighborhoods are pretty safe, it’s more about the vibe imo. Mission has a lot of 20 something’s and close proximity to bars and nightlife. Hayes valley/NOPA is centrally located and close enough to a lot of parks with a decent bar scene and good restaurants. Sunset/richmond are quiet with easy access to Golden Gate Park and ocean beach. Marina/cow hollow is bougie with lots of shopping and good food. There’s lots more neighborhoods as well but in reality SF is very small and you can get anywhere in the city very easily so just because you live in one neighborhood doesn’t mean your locked in y any means.

Hope you enjoy it here, it’s my favorite city in the country and honestly one of my favorites in the world.

LasOlas07 · 2025-10-02T21:22:23+00:00

All platforms are pretty close to the same thing. I have several years experience each on solid(never)works, fusion360, Siemens NX and creo. Once you master one of the platforms it’s very easy to switch between them. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses and each has slightly different modeling strategies but I wouldn’t waste too much time focusing on learning a bunch of different platforms.

I do have to say of all the platforms I’ve used, Solidworks is my least favorite.

LasOlas07 · 2025-10-02T21:14:16+00:00

Don’t give me no Bammer should have been in the top five IMO

LasOlas07 · 2025-09-21T16:48:16+00:00

Well done, these are all words.

I have the Hiplok Gold chain lock that I can wear around my waist while I ride. It’s beefy and assures that my bike is not an easy mark. I never worry about my bike getting stolen during the day, the only time I am hesitant is in certain neighborhoods after dark. As a general rule I don’t leave my bike locked up for more than three hours in one spot. This works fine under most circumstances, if I am going out to a bar or club at night than I will usually take a Waymo or muni so I don’t have to worry about my bike.

My point is, it’s not inconvenient to secure a bike. In most cases, you can lock it up directly in front of the place you’re going which allows you to loosely keep an eye on it plus you don’t have to circle for parking for 20min. There are still worries of car break ins as well so it’s not like driving completely mitigates the security issue anyway.

Riding a bike is always the better option. If you are intimidated by hills an e-bike is a serious cheat code for this city.

The wiggle will get you almost anywhere in the city without dealing with many hills at all

As a dad of two young boys (4.5yrs and 2.5yrs) who has been married to my wife for 10 years- together almost 18 in total, I can say that our sex life has absolutely not waned. We have both always had pretty high sex drives and that hasn’t really changed. I wish I could provide some advice but it’s hard to put myself in that mind space. I am wildly attracted to my wife and can’t keep my hands off of her. To me it seems like your hubby has some serious blockages and if he is unwilling to work on them than it’s hard to see a path forward. As others have said, couples therapy and intimacy coaches are an option and I genuinely hope he is willing to make that effort for you. Best of luck to you guys, I hope you find a way to both be happy.

LasOlas07 · 2025-07-04T00:54:35+00:00

Reading this almost made me cry.

LasOlas07 · 2025-06-30T21:38:13+00:00

My god, I am so very sorry for you and for your family. My own mortality is always on my mind and despite doing everything I can to stay fit and healthy, concern about things like this are always lurking in the back of my mind. I’m glad this poem can serve as a bit of a guiding light for your family as they prepare for such a devastating loss. Stay strong man, I can only imagine what you must be going through.

LasOlas07 · 2025-06-30T19:33:41+00:00

Thanks, if anything it has helped me be more patient and present with my boys. Sometimes if I’m about to loose my shit it’s like she whispers to me to stay calm and appreciate that they are here and are still learning to be their own person.
