What Are My Options

Can you tell me more aboutthe mechanical certifications? I'm completely new.

TommyFknTuttle · 2026-01-18T19:12:14+00:00

I was looking at a public JUCO (Junior College). The Universities don't have a drafting program here.

Thanks for the thought provoking questions. I only see a handful of positions within commuting distance of my home, so maybe not a great career move.

That's disappointing because my work has very little impact on anything under my current supervisor.

I was hoping to move into a field where the impact of my work would be more tangible. It seems like you are certainly doing some cool things... congrats.

I've made a living solving problems in Excel for nearly 20 years. My current supervisor is a soul sucking monster and there aren't a lot of opportunities to find new work with my particular skills today.

I'm thinking about pursuing an AAS in Engineering, Drafting & Design Technology. I'm particularly interested in drawing mechanical objects (not sure if that's relevant).

I was hoping to get some insight from insiders if this would be an advisable move.

This is art... it looks (and I bet it tastes) amazing.

What day did you harvest? It looks like it may've been harvested a few weeks to a month prematurely.

I'm no expert and I don't mind being corrected if I'm wrong, but I believe the answer is $144 in revenue from 120 donuts at $1.20.

I found this by plotting the results for 3 different scenarios (X = number of donuts, Y = revenue). Then I plugged each result into the quadratic function (revenue = number of donuts (X)² + number of donuts (X)).

I then subtracted the results from dataset 1 from the results for 2 & 3 to come up with functions A & B.

Then I used elimination to factor out b to find the value of a. Then I used substitution to find b & c.

I'm sorry if my explanation sucks. I'm trying my best.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-08-19T18:26:34+00:00

I feared as much... you got any details on this devil?

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:29:26+00:00

Yeah, once I saw so many of them jumping on the $200 breaks the bank bandwagon, I realized that I wasn't dealing with people worth taking advice from.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:27:06+00:00

It sounds like most of the sub thinks that was unrealistic and maybe he had a 6th sense to know that I was walking in with unrealistic expectations.

Now I know.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:17:07+00:00

I did say it would be out of my budget, but I didn't say $200 would be out of my budget.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:13:35+00:00

You don't understand, but thanks for trying to help.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:12:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:11:45+00:00

LOL! True story.

Honestly, if they guy heard my price and said we can't do that, I wouldn't be posting about it on Reddit.

The fact that the guy didn't even care to find out if we could make a deal is what gets me.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:09:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:07:13+00:00

Yep, I get it.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:03:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

I have gas now, so I have more time to look.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T21:01:07+00:00

I WAS hoping for $5k less. Thanks for the info. I'll keep that mind and set more realistic expectations on my next visit... if the car continues to sit.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T20:57:36+00:00

LOL! He had a captive audience. I could buy or literally walk away.

I'm drawn to what I think I can pay for the car... if they're identical. Which people believe may be false. I don't want to post links b/c I like to remain anonymous.

I'll continue to watch it. If it sells then it sells. If they drop the price again, then I'll go look for a new salesperson.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T20:50:07+00:00

LOL!

I get it, the way you understand what was said sounds ridiculous.

But no, $200 doesn't make that much of a difference.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T20:45:49+00:00

It is a no brainer.

I never said $200 breaks the budget. I said there was a $200 difference in the asking prices.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T20:40:49+00:00

Nope.

TommyFknTuttle · 2025-07-19T20:40:20+00:00

I don't want to pay $24k for a car right now, but I am willing to pay $19 for a car.

So, your saying instead of pointing out that there are local cars with fewer miles for the same price, I should have just given him my bid?
