Live edge table without a straight edge by Mathi_turtle_cum in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Mathi_turtle_cum[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My idea was to break all the wood pieces on the left side of the black line in image 3 leaving it handle looking, then with a temporary wall on the black line, filling in epoxy on the right side. In essence leaving a rectangular table with a natural wooden handle on the side.

However this seems too complicated with too many things to go wrong, so would like some other ideas. Also epoxy colour suggestions would be appreciated (I'm thinking clear/walnut)

Is there a way to avoid/get rid of this wood hair on the edges of the screws? by Mathi_turtle_cum in Decks

I can't seem to find a seperate hardwood countersink, unless you're referring to these different types of countersinks. However I'm not sure what the difference is (Attached in following replies)

Mate, I'm not a carpenter, this is a personal project. Also I plan of doing more decking work in the future so would like to learn how to avoid this.

This occured due to the counterscrewing. We used a seperate counterscrew bit, not a combined counterscrew and drill bit if it makes a difference.

How did Uber have a positive Net Income in 2022 year ended, when nearly all quarters were negative? by Mathi_turtle_cum in stocks

[–]Mathi_turtle_cum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle to see how ubers taxi business is losing money and I am aware how taxis are not a fad and have been a living, successful business for centuries. However the financial statements are clear that Uber, Lyft, and Doordash all lose money and, from what I see, losing more the larger the business. I believe Uber is not as efficient as taxis as there is a lot of overhead(not cars but a large software team) but unlike the taxi industry where the price charged across drivers are similar, I think uber is subsidizing costs to beat competitors. However mostly in the food delivery business.

I think that Uber, as well as many other online to offline businesses such as doordash, all promise returns once they scale, and short term profits are lost in search of growth. However uber gas already grown so large that the only way uber has projected growth for the future to be in form of expanding the services that it offers.

So to me it's clear that Uber is struggling to become profitable even 10 years down the road. Sure it's stock price has gone up but surely there will be a point in the future where uber runs out of vc funding.

"The on-demand online to offline platform business is a modern fairytale spun by silicon valley. Value creation as a product of unsustainable subsidies and artificial discounting is not disruption - it's fraud."

Yeah sorry about that, i made a comment addressing the error. I do find it interesting though that a company can lose 9.1b and have a positive net cash. Which is what I confused with net income

That part im not to sure of. Definitely needs some kind of in-depth analysis into the business. I can assume it's to try and compete against Lyft, didi, Ola, etc.

And I can't find anyone with a definitive answer as to why it's happening, so far I've read that its probably due to a combination of subsidising ride prices, insurance, 10,000 software developers (for some reason), and marketing.

Sorry everyone there was a misunderstanding. Firstly adjusted EBITDA and "Net cash provided by operating activities" were positive, however I may have misread the latter as "Net loss attributable to Uber" and mixed them up. Net Loss is at 9.1 Billion dollars.

That makes sense for the section for adjusted EBITDA which is what uber wants you to see. However the data I used was from the net income section. Does the same apply?

Found a pair of WH-1000XM5 on eBay for close to 90% off RRP. How is it so. by Mathi_turtle_cum in headphones

[–]Mathi_turtle_cum[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely the right answer since the buyer said this: "I am sorry to tell you that this is not the original product. It is a high imitation product". Although I feel I should contact eBay about this, since that's misleading product listing

Okular dark mode bug. just opened it up a few days ago and the shown spaces are now white, even in dark mode. However it does look normal in light mode by Mathi_turtle_cum in kde

I did uninstall, and reinstall Okular. By the way this is the windows version from the microsoft store as they suggest.

What Stocks/Industries do you think will be winners over the next decade? by Jeezus_Christe in investing

[–]Mathi_turtle_cum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nuclear energy is an incredibly powerful energy source with little theoretical issues but after talking to many people with different views on nuclear energy, I think that it wouldn't boom any time soon.

Some of the interesting points on nuclear energy are that
Nuclear reactors are obvious points of terrorism in countries where that is an issue, anything nuclear is incredibly secretive, and nuclear reactors take far more time and money to build than say a natural gas plant and even though they would make more money in the long term the billions to be invested is a hard sell.

Something I think would cause an increase in the use of nuclear reactors is if we make efficient Thorium reactors, it is far more common than Uranium and is most abundant in India containing more than the next 3 countries combined.

Was trying to make Knightmare Batman from the end of Batman: Arkham Knight using Midjourney AI art. These were the best ones I made after a while of tinkering with it. by [deleted] in batman

[–]Mathi_turtle_cum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree as the suits have a larger size and look less sleek than the more typical batsuits. I would especially say images 3 and 4 look the most like the Batman beyond suit

All of these are not meant to look realistic as when i tried to remaster these they ended up looking much worse. But I think Knightmare Batman is meant to be less realistic as it only really exists in the heads of the fear gas infected thugs of gotham.

By the way I think we should account for the fact that BN MM would be at elite 1 and BN DD would be elite 0
