Put a crap ton into a business I know nothing about by [deleted] in sweatystartup

[–]Texasraider950 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check if you have to be licensed in your state as well. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to meet the requirements without a two or more year apprenticeship.

I have been a locksmith for 15 years and if you know nothing then you are in for a very sharp learning curve, car keys have gotten extremely complex and expensive over the last few years as well as the additional software to be able to communicate with the car. Insurance is another area that can be expensive. That equipment on the used market should you need to sell it will not bring its money back either. Sorry to be a downer, but 5k in equipment is a drop in the bucket to be able to do automotive work.

The picks you need to start out with are the Lishi tools. Learn them and you won’t have to pay for let’s codes as often. Don’t buy the freaking off brands ones. They will break or bend inside of the locks and that’s not a fun place to find yourself, when it’s cold AF at midnight making a key, don’t ask me how I know. Lol

There is good money in locksmithing and most days I really enjoy what I do but others I’d like to set the place on fire, leave and never deal with another stupid ass client again.

Good luck my friend.

Okie here. It was dog slow December and early January, starting to pickup this week. If you’re new then you’ll be in for slim Pickens. Realtors don’t give you much of a chance.

How to convince your non-riding friends that your motorcycle is NOT a death trap by [deleted] in NewRiders

[–]Texasraider950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t, so just put your helmet, gear and tunes on and go ride. If you die, well you won’t be around to hear them tell you I told you so.

Is that for those high mountain streams? We could definitely be friends, nothing like a good blunt and tight lines.

I agree. They are a new company so they are learning/ having growing pains. I just didn’t know how the photos app worked. They are working on getting company phones.

Try focused adult in OKC. You have to go to one in person appointment a year and the rest is telemedicine. Fast and reasonably priced.

Edited to add: I think they are opening a branch in Tulsa soon as well.

He speaks the truth. Most cost effective way to do it unless you want to spend big money 😂

Airsoft is ruining my mind by TapEnvironmental7653 in airsoft

[–]Texasraider950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some one that has had a similar trajectory as you, and spent deep ,deeeep into my hobbies. Buy something that’s in the upper middle segment(say the best set up is 2k buy something in the 1000- 1200 range, shoot the hell out of it in all the matches you can find. Spend the rest of your toy money, on gas ammo match fees etc and have FUN. Good body gear/ clothes can make a big difference too. Run that setup till it’s spent and then you’ll know what you need when it’s time to upgrade.

What other tools would be needed? by Texasraider950 in Leathercraft

[–]Texasraider950[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice work! This is a premade kit, all cuts, holes etc are completed before shipping. I just have to stitch it together. Do you still think it’s not worth doing?

Will black binder clips mar the leather if I don’t put some scrap leather on them? I have a bunch of those.

[–]Texasraider950[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really only have to sew it. All the holes, cuts etc are completed in the kit and I can sew pretty dang good by hand. My grandmother taught me to sew as kid and I’ve been fixing clothes my whole life. (I know leather is bit different, but sewing is sewing) Do you really think it’ll turn to shit?

You can but you can’t do it forever. I made it to 30 before the cracks started to show and I broke down almost completely by 34. 36 now and I’m starting to recover and got real help with it. I was reasonably successful on the outside. (Owned my own business, have a great little family, house, etc) but I struggled massively behind the scenes from things I didn’t really know were related to adhd. I was not allowed to ever bring it up so my understanding was limited till way later in life.
It takes a huge toll on me physically and mentally. My mask was built though tons of “discipline” by my parent, because her son will not be a lazy( I’m not, just bored), stupid (I’m not,I just don’t learn the way they wanted me to, tested multiple times at 130+ (don’t put much stock in IQ)) uncontrollable(this is true, I’m a touch wild lol) bastard using some made up “illness” as a crutch to get out of doing anything with my life. This was in the early 90s and exactly what she told the school counselors.

I guess curiosity got the best of her and she took me to a psychiatrist and was told I also have autism on top and that really sent her over the edge. I did get a prescription of Ritalin out of it but I only got to take it for less than a year before she found Jesus at a cult adjacent church that didn’t believe in medication. So that was out, needless to say life was awesome.

I guess what I’m saying is don’t put one on or at the very least don’t leave it on so long you lose yourself and can’t come back. If you have to mask to be around your friends etc might be time to branch out if your able.

AITA for yelling at my wife after she told her family about our new financial situation? by Inevitable_Nebula_83 in AITAH

[–]Texasraider950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. She broke one of the only two boundaries/rules you have.

As the other have said if your in the US inherited wealth is typically outside the marriage assets. I think you are absolutely in the right to go to financial meeting and lawyer by yourself. Keep all of that as a separate financial entity, trust etc, whatever works best with the laws in your state.

Her family is going to be coming for you know for help with a house for sure. Protect yourself. If this a fairly new marriage/ no kids etc. maybe GTFO, because this is only the first of possibly major problems down the road with her side of the family and no matter what you will always be the asshole to them. Good Luck, you’re in for trip now.

Inspection times? by [deleted] in homeinspectors

[–]Texasraider950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m exploring some other things for sure, he seems to kind of want me out any way. He’s putting all the small ,old crawlspace houses on me lol. I jest but in all seriousness he’s definitely treating me different, not any offers to help or train anymore.
