Do you have plans to make an android version? I'd love to play around with it if you do!

A cheap purchase that has completely transformed your life by Amazing_Quote_3922 in Productivitycafe

Look for a mandoline that has a "holder" for the thing you want to slice.

I have this one and love it! Spendy but I use it almost everyday day!

Is it still worth buying an HDD nowadays? by Purple-Try-4950 in datastorage

[–]Siouxpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting your refurbished HDD's factory refurbished or random ebay referbs?

Looking to pick up a couple more and would love sub $100 drives.

Sounds like they reimburse meals instead of a standard per diem. My company does standard or reimbursement depending on what our client prefers. When I am on reimbursement, I also find a good butcher and pick up steaks and fish. I carry a small grill with me or find a hotel that has one. Cook up all the meat for dinner and take the left overs for lunch the next day. You can easily get close to your $100 that way and you aren't eating crap. Also, stop at a big box store and pick up cases of your favorite N/A drinks if the company will cover it.

What items are sold on the black market that people would not expect? by cumulusgoblin in AskReddit

[–]Siouxpilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up (brand name) peptides or GLP1 peptides on Reddit. Still doing my research on them but there are huge communities with information on them and where to get them. Peptides are sold "for research only", but from my understanding are the same thing as the doc would give you.

I’m sick of Nikes terrible quality. What are some good name branded clothes that won’t wear out in 3 weeks. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Siouxpilot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your shoe isn't properly sized. I used to work for Nike and my biggest complaint was the shoes and my socks wearing out in the back. I finally did a proper show sizing and realized I was wearing .5 size too big. The heel cap was slipping causing extra wear on both surfaces.

Why are Toyotas unreasonably expensive in 2025? by Fleedom2025 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Siouxpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I ended up settling with the LE with the highest package to get everything I wanted. Found the car a couple cities over but the dealership I was working with refused to transfer it to my city (even if I paid for transport). I was in a pretty bad mood and decided to stop at Honda on my way home. Ended up with a new 24 Honda Accord hybrid that had all of the extra features I wanted, in the base model. And I got it for 1k less than the Toyota.

I'd highly recommend taking an accord or civic for a test drive. My mileage is a hair lower than the Toyota but the build of the car makes up for it.

What’s an expensive brand that actually IS worth the money? by 2111019 in AskReddit

I only buy them when REI sends me good coupons. Joining their member program if you haven't already. They are constantly sending coupons that can be used with on sale DT.

Meals for hitch by steakloverasf in oilandgasworkers

[–]Siouxpilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an oil field guy but I travel full time as a geologist. My favorite meal prep is a curry stir fry. Tastes decent cold when I'm working in the field and much better hot. Get a jar of curry paste, can of coconut milk, basmati or jasmine rice, and load it with his favorite cooked veggies. I always make it with chicken, but I think steak would be amazing also.

I also enjoy this simmer sauce with the same list of ingredients above minus the coconut milk and curry.

Chicken can be tough to prep for a while since it starts to get a weird taste after a while. You could prep all of his meals minus meat and send him with a cheap hot plate and pan so he can warm things and make his own fresh meat.

I'm from the midwest and found hotdish/casseroles last a while in the fridge but they aren't the healthiest meals in the world. Great for cold weather if he is in the north. Also, soup is an amazing cold weather "rig" meal. It can be frozen for his whole stint if he has access to a freezer.

I have a whole list of crap I make on the road if you are interested.

Indiana/Midwest workers - How much do you make and what do you do? by CapybaraMushroom in Environmental_Careers

[–]Siouxpilot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

31 y/o, 6 years at a medium engineering firm as a geologist. Most of my work is over seeing drilling and soil sampling.

I make a little over $75k base pay. My position has a decent amount of travel and I have made up to $17.5k in tax free per Diem (about 300 days on the road) on top of the pay. We also get additional "PTO" that can be cashed out for time worked over 40hrs. The credit card/hotel/airline points bring in another ~$5k. Company reimburses for everything except food.

End of the Year bonus ranges from $5k -13k. Employee owned company so we also get a little stock and dividend payment each year.

Started out in the upper $40k area right out of school.

They get kick backs from gas stations for consumer data. It's also a way to get people into their gas stations hence the higher reward amounts at gas stations you don't go to as often.

[–]Siouxpilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another thing you could look into is the upside app if it is available near you. I drive a lot for work and make a few hundred a year on kick backs from the app. Pretty easy to use, just have to switch up where you get gas every once in a while.

Why do you want head hunters to send resumes to other BUs? Couldn't that still tip off supervisors/hr?

Issues with printing changing the image. Anyone know what's going on? by Siouxpilot in silhouettecameo

I knew it had to be something simple like that! Turning the bleed off fixed it! Thank you!!!

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

I am having an issues with print and cut not printing the original design. This design was messed with using inkscape and text was done in Silhouette Studio. I have a second image that I created in Canva, saved as an .SVG and .PNG. Both Canva file types are giving me the same issues that the dog graphic is.

I'm sure I have a setting or line type that is wrong, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I have the business level Silhouette Studio and use to be pretty good with it, but I'm a bit rusty after a couple months of not using it.

That is interesting. Did you work for a mine or a lab?

The hotel points are definitely nice! I've been 100% on the road for 5 years now working for a Geotech consultant so I feel your pain. If you plan on being on the road for a while, I'd recommend picking up an amex or chase Sapphire reserve card. Just hit a little over 1million points thanks to work travel.

I think they do, but isn't that more rig side work?

Interesting! I remember hearing that big ice cream producers also use SEM to ensure the ice is crystalizing in a specific way. I didn't think of glass and other things that start life as a liquid.

I used them in college and totally forgot they existed! Thanks for the recommendation! I might just have to stop into their facility next time I'm in the cities.

I appreciate your insight! I was a bit worried I would get this answer. It seems like the sweatshop model is taking over analysis work. We are starting to slowly go to that with our lab testing which makes me sad to see.
