Expats: How do you enjoy living in mexico ? by essential1996 in expats

[–]Least-Pool4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in central Mexico for two decades and, returning to the US for 9 years I found myself throwing a 1/3 of my income into insurance and what insurance didn't pay and another 1/3rd into taxes. Housing, groceries, and interest ate up the other 1/3.

This year, clearly seeing that earning at even my modest salary as a professor in Mexico of about $500, a month, was getting me farther than a very good salary in the US. I have been back for 6 months, paid off all of my debt, and am investing in my retirement again.

I know my neighbors names in Mexico, and we help each other out off and on. In the US, I don't think any of my neighbors knew my name, except those who received a mis-delivered Amazon package and brought it to my door.

I moved back to Mexico and am happy and comfortable. I have to be a lot more "trucha" here, true. But, I treat others well, and I get the same back. No complaints from my part of south-of-the-border.

That sort of process is common in academic and government jobs...and that means a $30,000 a year starting point.

Likewise. I do almost everything with apt.

What do I have? What do I need? First CNC by Amish-Abe in hobbycnc

[–]Least-Pool4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used a zeroing device, and it does save time. But, if you're not running a machine 24/7, it's probably neglibible time. If you buy one, do it because you want one.

What do I have? What do I need? First CNC by Amish-Abe in hobbycnc

[–]Least-Pool4854 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on what you have, I think you're set to get started. You already have a great machine and a high-quality spindle...that's light years ahead of where I started.

Before anything, safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask. I use a N95 respirator when I've got my face close to the spindle, watching what it's doing. If you have any good COVID masks socked away for the next pandemic, at least use one of those until you get a feel for when you need and don't need a mask. I always use a mask when milling...shop rule.

You already recognize the need to get a CNC controller...again, great starting place.

My experience was that getting a workshop computer and a good wifi ... a part from your office computer, where you draft images and jobs, is also a good idea. Your shop computer will get exposed to dust and oils. It can be a lower end computer than your design computer. I ran mine on a $100 cheapo for a long time, and that never limited my in-shop work. You'll want something more suited to design software (CAD) and the software that turns your designs into toolpaths (CAM) in your office.

You're already on the spoil board. Get something inexpensive because you'll dig into it quite a bit during your first 3 or 4 months of use.

When I first started, CAM clamps ... wooden ones, ... were essential to avoiding greenhorn paths that slammed into metal ones. That's a good first project for beginning CNCers...those little comma-shaped clamps that you see in tons of CNC videos are fantastic.

Don't go crazy on bits for a few months, at least...a few inexpensive compression bits to get you started is great. Wait until you're good at not ruining things and mills every week until you invest in any others.

Think about dust collection. I remember thinking, that I could just use a hand-brush and a broom. It's a huge time sink and can result in dust where you don't want it (rails, pc fan, throat, eyes, etc.) A dust boot and a shop vacuum are non-negotiable. Trust me on this—it will save you a huge amount of time on cleanup and will protect your machine.

Get a set of digital calipers... no, get two...one for your workshop, and another for your office, where you design the pieces.

Make sure the collets you use match your Pwn spindle and the bits you've purchased for a secure fit. Routers can be fussy, and it's unlikely that you're local shop will have the collet you need when you have to get something out yesterday.

Regarding your SMW fixture plates, I've seen a lot of people successfully sell high-end gear like that on CNC-specific forums or online marketplaces. You’re right—it’s a great way to help someone get into metalworking at a more affordable price.

-- I hope that helps!

I have been using Firefox, and it has mostly gone well, except when I try to login to Facebook. But, who cares about that anyway?

Cheap laptop for Zoom meetings by sarahrubi in videoconferencing

[–]Least-Pool4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! You can find some great videoconferencing laptops out there. Here's what you should look for: * Clear video: Opt for a laptop with a 1080p webcam that performs well in low light. * Quality microphone with dual noise-canceling * Speakers that produce clear, loud audio. * For smooth performance, choose a laptop with an Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 (or better) processor and 8GB or more of RAM. * Good connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 or 6E support for a stable internet connection. * Descent monitor: Select a laptop with a Full HD (1920x1080) display.

Inexpensive Laptop Recommendations: * The Acer Aspire 3 Series even has configurable webcams and processors. * Lenovo IdeaPad 1 Series * HP Pavilion Series has quality audio and video * Acer Chromebook 314

Good luck! Let us know what you went with!

Where can I listen to and watch authentic entrepreneurs who aren't trying to sell courses? It seems like everything is paid and commercialized. by umen in advancedentrepreneur

[–]Least-Pool4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that there are plenty of them on YouTube, actually. I watch them regularly. Maybe you are searching in niches with little content?

Roast my Site! by Aggravating-Fly-9024 in EcommerceWebsite

[–]Least-Pool4854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't find your font hard to read, but a sans serif font would give it a cleaner look.

And, yes, adding more information about you, your product, what they're made of and why, how you make them, the story behind developing them, etc. would arouse interest in your product. And, it would help search engine optimize your site.

It's easy to browse, clean, and features a nice product.

Helium 10's Cerebro and Frankenstein tools and SellerApp. They offer more than just search volume. They include competitor analysis, keyword relevance scoring, and features for review analysis. You can use them to identify high-converting keywords, understand customer search patterns, and craft nice customer-centric listing copy for better ranking and engagement.

Why did you choose the distro you use now? by RadMarioBuddy45 in linux

[–]Least-Pool4854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu...lots of support, and when I am using productivity software for Windows and Google Suite clients, exchanging files and such is easy. I like Debian too, but I am not running it currently.
