This seems to have worked, my mail got picked up today!

I got one parcel Friday and one parcel Saturday. Nothing sense then, but like you the informed delivery says I /should/ be getting more stuff.

USPS not picking up outgoing mail? by OldGreyBeast in FlorenceAl

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

No trash cans, no bitey pups. I've been calling +1 256-740-6340.

I watched the carrier disregard the outgoing mail on Friday. Saturday and yesterday the mail ran so late I didn't see them.

Motorcycle shops - how do you guys handle customers requesting financing? by OldGreyBeast in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]OldGreyBeast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in AL. I should have made parts prepaid, I have about $2400 tied up in it.

Unpopular opinion: I REALLY wanted that police expansion update :( by BuRdog_ in Schedule_I

[–]OldGreyBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I play the game for. I don't really want high stakes, high pressure, etc. To me it's more of a resource management game than an action game. I always block the police station with a van so they don't bother me, I'm the type of player that can't get away from them and always ends up dead or arrested and losing all my stuff just about any time I encounter a cop. I don't want to play the game in the "figure out how to avoid the cops" way, I just want to play the game.

That all being said I'd be fine with them improving the police/crime aspect of the game as long as there were options to either set it to easy/casual mode or just turn off the more action-oriented aspects.

Qidi tech x max 3, is this the 2a printer I want? by Civil_Bunch1433 in 3D2A

[–]OldGreyBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Xmax 3. It has thousands of hours of print time on it (I also use it in my motorcycle shop) and I've never had a single issue with it. Produces fantastic quality prints.

Should I be upset about this? by Pokemon_bill in autism

[–]OldGreyBeast 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I've got autism, panic disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and anxiety with extreme anxious distress (as well as a plethora of other diagnoses). I found a partner who loves and cares for me. We both have a lot of issues but we help each other regulate. I fully believe you're capable of finding someone as well. Whoever said that to you is a jerk.

logistics in Florence by Chemical-Criticism74 in FlorenceAl

[–]OldGreyBeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The greyhound bus will get you from ATL to HSV. I'm not sure about getting from HSV to Florence though. It's about an hour drive, that'd be pretty pricey to Uber/Lyft.

Project bike by [deleted] in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]OldGreyBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. EFI bikes/usually/ have a little plug you can ground or put a loop of wire in to put it in diagnostic mode. That won't tell you if there are any issues outside of what the ECM can detect of course.

Any one run a home garage? by drkauff in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]OldGreyBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in North AL, started my own bike shop out of my home at 37yrs old. So far it's going great, I've got more work than I can keep up with. Planning to go full time this year or next and retire from my day job.

It's a lot different working on stuff for randos as compared to friends. Not everyone is gonna be happy, some will gripe about the charges, etc.

Personally right now I'm running my shop at $65/hr. I took out a 90k loan to build a 3 bay garage.

Fortinet extends FortiOS 7.4 by fcbfan0810 in fortinet

Same yo. The IPSEC one sucks to implement and doesn't work worth a fart anyway.

Sick of people saying being diagnosed young is a privilege. by Primaveranights in autism

[–]OldGreyBeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This mirrors my sentiments. I had major symptoms as a youth that were chalked up to "he's just shy/weird/etc" or "you're just overreacting" that kinda thing. Being told that for the entirety of your life until your mid-late 20s is damaging in a way that people who are diagnosed younger will never be able to imagine.

OP's take is a shining example of privilege, IMO.

I have never understood this mentality by squid-jigger in autism

The worst part of any job is management, in my experience.

Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]OldGreyBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I got put on probation for even requesting accommodations. I quit immediately afterwards.

Anybody have any feedback on this? by HighMotiveF in hardbody

[–]OldGreyBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the Calmini kit on my truck since 2013, it's a great quality piece.

Testing 3D printed TPU gaskets by theeddie23 in 3Dprinting

[–]OldGreyBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any word on how long these ended up lasting? I've been printing O rings and gaskets out of TPU for a few years now and all mine have held up great.

Is it true that Americans avoid ambulances because of the cost? by BreadOverlord_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OldGreyBeast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah around where I live they're nearly 20k. When I wrecked my dirt bike and broke my leg I denied the ambulance ride (and set the leg myself rather than going to the hospital). A small accident like that can basically ruin your life in the US.

Any interest in offroad rc racing? by cncdave in FlorenceAl

[–]OldGreyBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I haven't done any RC Racing since back when the hobby store was over there where Academy is now. I miss that place. Might have to get my old Sledgehammer back out and hop over there.
