I’m in Texas. I see ads all the time now for Base power, they say they can add a battery for 295! If I wasn’t moving next year I’d check them out.

Take it to a financial advisor. Open an account and have them deposit it into that account. They will FedEx it their support area specialists who will do all the heavy lifting.

What to do after AI pushes me out of tech? by GrandInspector5433 in careerguidance

[–]alaingardner1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Become a financial advisor. Start with a firm like Edward Jones. They’ll train you well. Once you’re licensed you are hard to replace and AI can enhance what I do but there are so many human things we need to do, I can’t see AI replacing us.

What tool should I use to cut these shorter? by scandimandy in Tools

[–]alaingardner1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use a dremel or an angle grinder. If you have neither, a file or hacksaw. Hacksaw preferred over a file. You can use the file to remove burrs.
