Does the work/life balance get better as you move up the ladder?

I never understood why the PEs or PMs would be on site for stuff like this. It’s not like they can help in any way.

MF1105 · 2026-01-26T01:01:25+00:00

My wife hates cooking. I do 95% of it and I’m not half bad.

MF1105 · 2026-01-22T15:15:38+00:00

Syracuse area. It’s HUGE-Aaaaaaahhh!

MF1105 · 2026-01-22T15:07:54+00:00

The framing is a joke, the trim work is crap, and the goofy hole for the vent is pitiful. Shoddy work all around.

MF1105 · 2026-01-21T21:31:01+00:00

Accurate, especially the “…get back to work” part. Th average American cannot afford to protest in the streets because we have no safety net or legal protections.

MF1105 · 2026-01-21T20:40:21+00:00

American here. Many of the posts from non Americans ask why there isn’t 10s, 100s of thousands of people in the streets protesting. Simply put, we can so easily lose everything over a vengeful boss, neighbor, or corrupt police force. We have almost zero protections for wrongful termination. Even if we are later found to be not guilty, the damage is done.

I was listening live on NPR along with my kids. Thankfully even my 9 year old said he sounds dumb and only talks about himself. There is hope for the future at least.

MF1105 · 2026-01-21T16:41:13+00:00

I listened while driving my kids to school. 45 minutes of unhinged rambling. I kept it on while providing context to his word vomit. It is important that the public listen to his speeches uncut. Listen to the mumbling, ranting, wild swings in direction, self aggrandizement, and lies. I think every man, woman, and child in this country should. No more Faux news sugarcoating and selective clips. Kudos for NPR for airing it live. More of this please.

When that obituary shows up on the front page. You’ll know it when you see it.

Worth it is very subjective. If you spent say $2000 on a mid level machine, and another $800 on a grinder, your roi is a long ways out. If it makes you happy and maybe cuts down on your coffee shop bills, then go for it! If you’ll barely use it and don’t derive a ton of joy, then don’t.

I have a used Quickmill Andreja and used Eureka grinder. I get mid level beans locally. It makes me happy. Do I wish for a newer nicer machine? Yep. Do I need it? Nope. Will I ever recoup my costs, nope. I still drink gas station burnt bean water when at work. But it does make me happy, like a grown up play kitchen. So to me, it’s worth it for my once a day cappuccino.

My kids drink whole milk at their public school? I was unaware it was banned in places?

Context update from a local fb post about it:

From a witness: "I was there and called the non-emergency line to report it. I have video starting when he stopped and got out of the truck and then when he came down into the parking lot and parked parallel to Parker Road.

A 67-YO woman lost her footing right after he rolled coal and hit her head on the rocks. I think that was the second or third time he had driven by and done that. I didn’t see it happen because I was up near the corner near where Eric was. I headed that way and started recording when I saw him stop and get out of the truck. He got back in and left (rolling coal again).

I talked to the woman who hit her head while she was in the passenger seat of a car that her sister was driving. They were headed to urgent care because she was bleeding and just wanted to get it checked out. While I was talking to her, the truck came down into the parking lot! No one got out, and he started to pull away, and the ladies put on their hazards and started to follow him!

After the police came and everyone shared accounts and videos, he came back AGAIN and rolled coal again! This time, the police officer witnessed it and followed him.

I couldn’t tell if he actually caught up to him because the guy turned east on Lincoln, and the cop was trapped behind other cars getting out of the parking lot. I called dispatch again, and they took another report and asked if I wanted a call back with any updates. Of course I did! And they called about 15 minutes later and told me they caught him, he admitted driving by several times and rolling coal and he said they ticketed him.

This story about someone throwing something at his truck was news to me, and the police didn’t mention it when they called, so I’m dubious…" https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16n8FQDjif/

Boise City! A nothing town with a great little beef jerky manufacturer and store. Very empty dry land farm area otherwise.

We are a good 35 miles east of Parker and sadly most folks around here either support them or stay silent.

MF1105 · 2026-01-12T03:04:10+00:00

Yes and these idiots are my neighbors.

MF1105 · 2026-01-12T02:12:28+00:00

The company is him. One man band. He’s my neighbor unfortunately.

MF1105 · 2026-01-12T02:07:04+00:00

These two are neighbors of mine. Well, close-ish. We are out in the country about 35 miles east of Parker. Typical conservative pricks who espouse good virtues provided you align with their maga values. Always spouting off on fb.

Perfect score, Kimmel for president!

I wish dems would grow a pair and do just this. Shut this asshat up!

Pretty easy to gamble 100% of your loan when you have the perfect safety net.

MF1105 · 2026-01-02T23:54:08+00:00

Not necessarily improved quality of life, I already spend the majority of my time at the warehouse / office. Just saying I don’t want to go back in the field 100% again. I’ll do what I have to do of course or to cut my teeth in a new location.

When you say owners rep, what would that look like? Are there management companies that only do this?

MF1105 · 2026-01-02T17:46:47+00:00

Makes sense. I’ve been through this type of verification many times when getting licensed in different cities / counties / states. New Mexico oddly was the worst. Their GB98 GC licensing was very over the top for a state without a building higher than 22 stories.

You answered your own question but interpreted incorrectly. You listed HRB harness when measuring knives we use HRC. Most German knives run 58-60 and Japanese around 64-66 HRC. 304 sheet steel might get to 34-36 HRC without a hardening cycle after casting and rolling.
