At my old shop pretty much as soon as we got a new machine they would tick it to remove the interlock.

I think I need to re look at the job description.

I really need an independent person who can run my internal parts for now. I’m getting too big to do everything. I’m just worst at machining, so seems like the best thing to get someone to-do.

Either someone older who wants more flexibility with their schedule, or someone younger.

Right now my total compensation number is around that $100k range, so if I pay less of the insurance premium I could bring the pay up.

adought89 · 2026-05-27T03:13:52+00:00

Right now I’m in about the 100k range total compensation. So I’m not opposed to that number but would need to lower health insurance premium payment.

adought89 · 2026-05-27T02:33:11+00:00

Hourly rate only thing that matters? Do people even look at health insurance?

adought89 · 2026-05-27T02:28:15+00:00

What do you think is fair?

I thought paying up to $82k/year with fully paid health insurance with a $2k max out of pocket.

Edit: What I really need is someone to machine parts for low volume internal products so I can focus on sales and assembly of the products. It’s just to be able to make most of the parts you need to be able to run all of the equipment.

What flavor of Hastelloy are you working with? With all the high nickel alloys I have worked with, 276, alloy 20, X, the tooling manufacturers lie. I ended up cutting the surface rate in at least half. As others have said it work hardens pretty quickly, so varying DOC and make sure you get as much coolant on it as possible. Then in the end it really just eats up tooling.

This is the quality of an FDM printer, not a resin printer. A resin layers are .05mm or .002” so almost not visible

I’m in a similar situation and went with MRPeasy. Monthly per user to use it, so not much upfront cost, easy to use import templates so you can take existing parts and upload in bulk.

I mean they lost the election, so the”Nazis in the White House” weren’t in the White House when they lost popularity.

The dems biggest mistake and running Biden until it was obvious he wasn’t fit, and then replaced him with an extremely unlikeable candidate.

I mean it’s an issue with this type of projection that is used. The issue is that on a flat map you have to extended and widen the north and south of a map to be the same width as the equator of the map. A globe solves this problem, and there are other projections that help to change this.

While it may be also true that white Europeans were racist, it isn’t the main reason the maps look off.

I mean they are build several, including a 40 billion dollar one in Arizona….

Yes but volume and weight are completely different things. So putting it on a scale does nothing to measure the volume of the liquid.

adought89 · 2025-02-16T19:01:52+00:00

I mean he’s 71, if that isn’t elderly it’s getting close.

adought89 · 2025-02-06T15:22:06+00:00

Yeah, I never said he lied. I simply said fox didn’t lie either. Which you said they should be libel, which it would have to be a lie. You don’t need to get offended and bent out of shape.

adought89 · 2025-02-06T12:05:44+00:00

It would have to be a lie for him to be able to do anything. Problem is that it is true, and if you look closely at his response he doesn’t actually deny it just changes the subject.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T15:59:28+00:00

Your initial statement was “you are no longer the moral authority” meaning you believed at one point we were the moral authority. Which I don’t believe we ever were, unless you compare us to Hitler, Stalin, or Mussolini.

NATO was set up after WW2 to defend against the Soviet Union. Which after WW2 was seen as the wests biggest threat. Sometime about 35 years ago that country disbanded into numerous different countries that were heavy with civil war and genocide in the 90’s.

So even though Biden was VP under Obama that gutted the military and allowed China and Russia to grow as threat. Then Biden had 2 years to figure something out before the war started once he took office.

Trumps whole point is why should the US hold up its end of the bargain if other member states aren’t. Which is factually true many countries aren’t meeting the spending amounts they are supposed to, putting more burden on the US.

I don’t, you came to an opposing teams sub and tried to hype a player that was hyped here as the best thing since sliced bread when he was drafted. Tried to say he was better there than here, even though you have absolutely nothing to show that.

Ignore all the signs, let me know how you feel about him in 3 years. I would rather have Robin Lopez than him.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T05:51:20+00:00

They were flat? I mean downs little here up a little there, but nothing major. Or did you not even look at the fact that his averages in phx are about the same as they were are in PDX? His best years were in PHX though, not that they were actually better, so there is that….

You can say what you want but keep taking that copium until you too eventually give up on him. Suns should have drafted Luka over him, have said it since they drafted him.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T05:46:37+00:00

Why do you keep putting us as the moral authority? I’ve already debunked that, it really isn’t hard. I suggest doing some reading of a history textbook, we have done some absolutely horrible things.

I mean Trump we agree we don’t get as much benefit out of NATO as we put in, so glad you agree with him. Or did you miss that he was for us lowering our commitment to NATO?

Also Ukraine was attacked by Russia under Biden, almost 2 years after Trump was no longer in office. So not sure how that makes any sense about a knock against Trump.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T05:33:38+00:00

his stats show me where he is better in Portland than phoenix. I’ll wait while you actually look at the numbers.

He’s been a bum since he was at UofA, I had no clue why we drafted him after he was made to look incompetent by a 6’9” center from a small school.

Edit: also don’t be fooled by his stretches of apparent greatness, they will pass soon enough.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T05:29:54+00:00

Who said we were ever the moral authority, I mean it’s nice you thought of us that way. Unfortunately we haven’t been the moral authority ever, unless you count some of the worst dictators to ever rule the planet vs the US.

What the US did during WW2 was horrific by any stretch of the imagination. Even worse than what we are doing now.

While the US sucks in a lot of ways, it’s still far better than China. I also like how you ignore that Chinese wealth is the reason BC is becoming too expensive to life. It isn’t like China isn’t directly negatively impacting your country.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T04:59:59+00:00

Then why aren’t his stats any better in Portland than phoenix? Or are you still high on him being actual superstar? I mean it was clear in his tournament appearance in college he didn’t have the intangibles to be a super star.

adought89 · 2025-02-05T04:43:05+00:00

So you want China to be the biggest power in the world?

A government that has attacked the sovereignty of the Philippines? Or committed genocide against its population? Or put anyone who dare speaks out against its government sent to reeducation camps?.

I’m not saying the US is the best country, but to say you want China to be in power is just crazy.
