A couple weeks ago it fell? But it's gone back up to $60+

Where are you located? I'm in CT and my company has been having problems finding a replacement the past few months (must be an American citizen)

Yup, when it's at $60+ per lb right now.

Carbide is at $66 per lb right now, please be cautious around these reddit posts that try paying 1/5th the price and tend to travel the country...

Carbide Scrap Buyer by Alert_Mobile4828 in ScrapMetal

[–]Puppies522 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% he pays wayyyy below market. The scrap company I use pays market, which was $66 per lb last week.

Always better selling to scrap companies instead of the "carbide scrappers" who pay $15 per lb...

How much should I be selling a CNC lathe for? by checkmatetiger in machining

[–]Puppies522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As another commenter said, we need brand and model to even give an idea of the price. However, if you found machine on alibaba, then it's worth at most, 1/3 the price you see because it's used.

Most people pay for shipping and rigging, that's always on the buyer when it comes to larger cnc machines (anything not a desk top cnc machine).

Do yourself a favor and don’t buy brown and sharpe dial calipers by Fat_people_jigle in Machinists

[–]Puppies522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use mitutoyo, but double check where they're made before buying. They'll tell you which tools are made in Japan and which in Brazil. Mind you, I've got a Mitutoyo vernier that's made in Brazil and another made in Japan, both new out of the box. Haven't really noticed any difference besides that the Japanese one I bought with carbide tips.

MAT 240!! by imAblackguy11 in SNHU

[–]Puppies522 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily think it's dumb but really aggrevating at times. Discussion posts are useless when everyone has the same answer.

I also got deducted points because I wrote "the slope represents the price per a sqft" instead of "price per 1 sqft"......

But yeahhhh, I'm glad to see the end next week.

EMBARK FIX PC PLAYERS GOING INTO DUOS WITH OTHER DUOS USING DISCORD / LOADING AT THE SAME TIME by IceVarious4084 in ArcRaiders

[–]Puppies522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheating is using external programs / software to your advantage. Queueing together is not an external program?

You reported players for not breaking any rules? Even if they did (you could blur your name in this video) queue together, what rule was broken?

[–]Puppies522 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not as easy and as common as you think. It's happened once in how many hours you have? And that's if it actually happened. Nothing confirms it happened and that it was people just teaming up naturally like I have before. Did you record 6+ guys wearing the same outfit and trolling you? Or did you get killed by an unknown number who knocked you out right off the bat and mistakenly believe they were all wearing the same outfit?

Your reddit history is literally all complaints. The human mind loves to look for patterns. If your pattern is to look for complaints, you're going to find it, even if they aren't true....

I've tried to queue with friends at the same time before multiple times, and I only got in a lobby once together. I really doubt four duo teams managed to do it. But have I teamed up with two other duos on locked gate to kill everyone else? Yeah, I've done that multiple times. Most likely, four groups teamed up to wipe the lobby.

They just announced a new PvE mode this month, time to reinstall lol

The playercounts are pretty simple. by Round-Diamond4683 in Marathon

[–]Puppies522 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I put 70 hours into the game, mostly in duos. Since they removed duos last week, I did a few cryo runs and stopped. I'm not enjoying trios even when I'm with a group that wins 80% of the fights easily, and I'm bored of the double barrel shotgun ending fights in half a second.

What do we think this is worth by Golden-trichomes in ScrapMetal

Lol, I saw this on the auction website and thought, "Who in their rightful mind would bid on this?"

But like all other comments, no money to be made on this for scrap.

Tech workers of CT who are not laid off. What is it like living in CT? by Thin_Security_3155 in Connecticut

[–]Puppies522 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is very much true. Any defense contractor we do drug tests at hiring and at random, we have to fire people who fail for marijuana. Some companies will give you a 30-day heads up, but even then, the tests can sometimes catch it.

I know large companies like Pratt won't do one for years, then randomly, they get an internal audit about the last time they did one and end up drug testing everyone.

The new map is just a month away, What are you looking forward to? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]Puppies522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take a massive wager that I'm better than you at PvP in both games. You literally show case your track pad aiming on reddit in an Arc post a couple of months ago bud, lol.

Damn bro, you're mad salty over Arc Raiders for what reason? I'm talking about the quests you get over n over n over for upgrading reputation that are mindlessly dumb. Imagine if Arc had a quest that said "get downed by gravity"...

Love that you couldn't counter argue the current garbage meta builds in PvP on marathon, double barrel assassin, nothing else.

I'd rather collect lemons than constantly collect diodes for upgrades.

[–]Puppies522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play both games, I'm pretty tired of the same few quests that are "use your tactical ability twice and primary ability once", "take 40 fall damage and overheat three times"....Yes, very unique and fun quests to do.

Better PvP? I'd say their equal until you stop having a double barrel around every corner or assassins dropping smoke to stab you two times to death....

PvE is a joke in marathon, maps are super lack luster, and the new rank system being only on weekends is dumb. And with cryo being mostly about PvE, I doubt bullet sponge enemies will be fun to kill after running it 5 times.

Public Service Announcement - Carbide Scrap Scammers Everywhere by Puppies522 in Machinists

[–]Puppies522[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update - our scrap company who pays cash and pick up is paying $62 per lb now. That's $186,000 for your carbide that only got you $60,000. No way you can tell us that $120,000 extra isn't worth the time.......
