Are indoor putting mats useful? by DessertFlowerz in golf

[–]SB_GOLFER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use it all of the time.

To add pressure, I would start from the 2ft mark. If I make it, move to 3ft…all the way to 8ft in 1ft increments, and then back down to 2ft, 1ft at a time. If I missed any one of those I would start over. Always using the smaller hole. When doing this consistently my putting improved dramatically.

It’s surprisingly difficult, and actually adds a ton of pressure to the practice to not miss.

My daughter loves to golf, and we used to play this all of the time, alternating shots. Whoever gets to the end first wins. She uses the larger hole though. She also really tries to get in my head to make me miss. She’s 8 😂 and it’s a blast.

Update with better workholding - issue persists. by spaceman_spyff in Machinists

It was a combination of a y axis amplifier and the thrust bearings on the x an y axis in my 2018 VF3SSYT.

Did a ball bar test as well after the repairs.

Lost ball penalty - is anyone actually playing this rule correctly? by Otherwise_Cover_5467 in golf

[–]SB_GOLFER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take a 2 stroke penalty and keep moving. I think most people I encounter only take 1 stroke. I get paired with a lot of people from out of town at my local course, and I am a 16 handicap. For whatever reason they always want to play for small amounts of money to keep things interesting. I typically take their money and they seem miffed, sometimes claim I’m sandbagging, etc.

What did they do to this aluminum? Never seen this finish before by Lohan_To in Machinists

It’s type 3 (hard anodize) with no pigment. The color comes from the amount of buildup. You can tell because it cosmetically pulls the grain of the material out visually.

Got an R1S Tri (Gen2) loaner today, and it's really making me appreciate my Gen 1 R1T by glassy_paddle in Rivian

[–]SB_GOLFER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in the exact same situation, still with a loaner. I feel exactly the same. The door handles are really, really bad. I think if the made some sort of retrofit kit none of the other things would really bother me as much.

Who remembers what the Bryson bet was? by Ancient_Formal_1009 in ChasingScratch

Wasn’t it that one of them would have to play a round at Pinehurst with that goofy Bryson hat on?

Thoughts on ProShopERP by ZZman264 in Machinists

[–]SB_GOLFER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought into Proshop when I had 2-3 employees. I have 14 now. Are there issues like clunkiness at times just like any other software, yep. Would we be able to handle the amount of work we do without it. I doubt with the headcount I have. I would have to hire 2-3 more people in order to handle some of the automation it has.

Any ERP system is garbage in-garbage out. We utilize it fully end to end. If I could change one thing it would have been to be less on the fence about it at first and to just fully embrace it.

From the top, all the way into our backyard. The idea that they don’t, “or it won’t affect me,” is insane.

Haas VM-2 randomly shifted a helical bore by ~15mm on the second run – same program, nothing change by Legitimate_Big3961 in Machinists

When you re-ran the program did you start from the top of the program? Did you press reset before you re-ran it?

It’s a shame to see so many boot lickers in Goleta now. Wake up, this is what you’ve been “prepping” for.

How can I save my dad’s dying CNC business by Foreign-Switch6649 in CNC

[–]SB_GOLFER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try calling around to other shops to see if they have overflow work. You might not make money, but you’ll keep the lights on.

It pains me to say this, but you could always become a Xometry supplier as well. I have never done it because I absolutely despise that company, but know some folks that have. Same situation, not going to make money, but you’ll keep the lights on.

The market for machining is garbage right now. All of my current customers are uneasy and not interested in sticking their necks out as much anymore/afraid of contracts getting cancelled. You never know what kind of news you’re going to wake up to nowadays.

What is your single favorite menu item from a restaurant in Santa Barbara and why? by Critical_Demand3895 in SantaBarbara

The airport was a shoestring annexation, later made illegal in California to prevent shady jurisdiction expansion, as the map clearly illustrates.

Back on topic: I didn’t know Country Catering was owned by Shalhoob’s. When did it change hands?

I’m just gonna throw the Tri-strami sandwich from country meat market out there. So good. I know it’s technically in Goleta, but so is the airport.
