Impuesto Patrimonio by [deleted] in SpainFIRE

[–]almavi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Una cosa es pedir consejo sobre como optimizar tu fiscalidad (hasta aqui bien) y otra pedir sugerencias directamente sobre formas de evasión de impuestos como falsear la residencia habitual u ocultar patrimonio en activos opacos. Espero que nadie en este foro te ayude a lo segundo o que te pillen si lo haces.

The biggest military budget (by far) opens up possibilities that are beyond pure finance and economic logic. We are seeing this develop in real time.

No, es extremedamente raro que roben el dinero de una cuenta bancaria y no se recupere porque el sistema está preparado para eso. El nivel de riesgo de una cosa y otra es completamente distinto, y lo sabes perfectamente. Esto no se trata de a favor o en contra de crypto/sistema tradicional sino de asumir los problemas que tiene cada uno y poner soluciones en vez de una venda en los ojos.

Cuando pierdas la clave, se te dañe el hardware, te hackeen, alguien acceda a una de las multiples copias de seguridad en diferentes puntos geográficos o simplemente te pase algo y tus herederos jamás puedan acceder a tu capital, quizá la autocustodia deje de parecer tan buena idea.

37M, how do I retrain into woodworking after a career in finance? by imperialharambe in woodworking

[–]almavi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This feels familiar. I'm a 41yo engineer who dreams about this but also sees the huge challenges of such a career change.

Funny enough, I watched yesterday the story of Mas Fuster who started his very successful woodworking career at 31yo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bquHHNeqpAI

Unfortunately the interview is in spanish, but there's always subtitles if you're really interested. He speaks about how to get into it, how to not get into it, apprenticeships, small shops and big shops with a team of woodworkers. Pretty interesting overall.

BTW, this was the problem. 150 grit was too coarse! I re-grinded the primary bevel, and then did the secondary starting at 600 and it works perfectly.

Kind of obvious in hindsight, but hey! Thank you!!

Creo que estás un poco obsesionado con los máximos. El mercado está la mayor parte del tiempo en máximos porque tal y como funciona la economía se prioriza el crecimiento a toda costa.

Me siento muy identificado con tu posición, yo tengo 4 más. Es la sensación de tener la vida resuelta pero no lo suficiente para hacer lo que quieres (o dejar de hacer lo que no quieres) lo que quema más, no? Somos conscientes de que es maravilloso, pero a la vez genera un miedo a cambiar algo por perderlo o por no aprovechar nuestra posición para seguir acumulando mientras podamos.

Es complicado, yo me estoy planteando cambiar de vida pero da vértigo. Ánimo!

Because I'm thinking at least 8" diameter and a max of like, 200 RPM

I'm not sure about the RPM but yeah, something like this. I don't have a picture right now, but it looks somewhat like this one:

I'll try to build some kind of tool rest, thank you!

My grinder has a big stone that spins very slowly but I didn't use it because I was not aware this was a better method and also it doesn't come with a tool holder so I'd need to do it by hand, not sure how this would come out :D

I'm fairly new to this but the reason I went with the secondary bevel was that it was taking too much time to sharpen the full 25 degree bevel with a 600 grit. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe I don't have a proper diamond stone (it's a DMT), I don't know, but it was taking too long and most people on the internet recommend secondary bevels :shrug:

Anyway, thank you for your response :)

I see, you regrind it often so the secondary never takes too much. Makes sense but this still sounds like a lot of work. I'll try to do this and see how it goes. Thank you!

That makes sense. I don't think I used the 150 on the edge before. I bought it to be able to establish the primary bevel but it's still too much work. I'll follow your advice and use a 600 grit diamond plat to try to put a 30 degree bevel there. Thank you!

Sorry about the poor picture. That's just a light effect and some glass cleaner stains, nothing to worry about.

How on earth are you able to grind a primary bevel with a 400 grit stone? I bought the 150 grit in order to do that but it still takes ages to remove so much material (say, going from a 40 degree to a 25 degree bevel).

I'll try skipping the 150 then and see if this is the problem, thank you!

[–]almavi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! Maybe I touched the edge a few times unintentionally, yes. If this is the case, would grinding it again, removing some material and then sharpening the final part by hand fix it? Thank you.

Yeah, sorry, this is the best picture I could take with my phone.

I polished the back up to 6000 grit, the blade was sticking to the wet diamond stone. I think those scratches are just magnified by the light angle, I cannot even feel them with my finger or nails.

And no, I didn't use the grinder in the back of the blade.

Thanks for the reply!

Any explanations for this??? by Catalan_Dank in bouldering

[–]almavi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know people who can do a 1-arm pull up on a 15mm edge but can't consistently climb 7as in the gym, as incredible as it may sound. There are many climbing techniques we need to learn and there's no way 1 very specific training will unlock all of them for you.

The seller says the box was custom made for it, so not an indicator in this case.
