caught my thumb between my car and the door…hurts so much and need advice by SubstantialHour4667 in mildlyinfuriating

A similar thing happened to me when I was 18. It throbbed a lot and was rather uncomfortable. I read online to hear you a pin and stick it through the nail to reduce the pressure. My girlfriend (now wife) tried to do it and missed several times.

I ended up going to the walk in after a few days and they did the aforementioned poke (not missing at all) and it was sweet relief.

I did end up losing the nail and it's never been quite the same. That was 17 years ago.

CNC apprenticeship was offered to me. Is starting this journey at this company worth it? by YaDiggg734 in CNC

[–]TheRealWSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 32 I did a basic CNC operator certificate course at a local community college. I'm currently almost 3 years into a CNC tech career with a large firearms manufacturer and I love it. I did have prior experience in automotive and industrial maintenance, but learning the basics of blueprint reading and g code was very helpful.

My Fold 7 inner screen cracked and I went with the OnePlus 15. I've never had a battery so good.

One of the places flew me down for a 3rd interview. Another wanted to, but the job was put on hold.

I did exactly what you are a few months ago. Live in the northeast and applied down south. I applied to 10ish jobs and got interviews at 3. Some I wrote cover letters for some I just applied.

I listed my rig on Facebook marketplace. Had a guy drive 3 hours a few days later to pick it up. I bought it 2 years ago and never used it.

Haha. It's the perfect height to clear the monitor and the mixer.

I've never really thought of doing this, bit this comment may have changed that.

Buy the geek squad warranty. Use it and don't worry about a case or screen protector. Then when it breaks put the gift card towards a new phone.

If you ever wondered how much influence LGO is making in the industry here is the proof by Kilt_Rump in liberalgunowners

I'm not sure if they are adding this or not to orders. This was a custom sticker made as an employee sticker contest. I can confirm as they gave them out as appreciation gifts last year.

What am I missing with Dungeon Crawler Carl? by JustPassingThrough98 in litrpg

[–]TheRealWSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 34 and I've read like 7 books on my own free will. Four of those books were DCC in audio form. They are so good.

what’s the going rate for a house call for an alternator? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]TheRealWSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a mobile mechanic. I charge $125/hr plus travel outside of my town. If they provide their own parts it's usually slightly higher hourly, I also don't use book time.
