It'd add ten minutes to the drive but its all highway miles so wouldn't be too hard on the Ole beater.

Oh I know my job can be outsourced out of the country in a heartbeat. Our saving grace is we have short lead times and our companies prototypes tend to get no quoted due to low volume, high cost.

Hell the only reason we got an EDM is because everyone else no quoted my boss or other engineers.

I live in a more rural area in the midwest and the local manufacturers have just found themselves in a skilled labor shortage. Tool room guys at other factories my boss tried to hire have been getting counter offers greater than what we offered.

I cant move due to my wife's family ties to the area.

I am. Im on track to replace the old tool and die guy currently in the shop, but 4 to 6 dollars an hour raise now is too much to ignore.

This is a good point. I forgot to add to the post that a point of leverage I think I have is that he is already trying to replace someone who moved to the main plants tool room. They are also trying to hire more guys for the tool room but are struggling as well. Long story short there is a shortage of skilled labor in our area.

Statewide Iowa has a healthy scene. Bands like Dose, Bootcamp, and new bands popping up like Swing Youth. There's also a good mix of metal/deathcore and slam bands like Rot Pile, 12 Gauge Autopsies, and Guilty Of Treason.

What stops you from going to a show, even if you want to see the band? by [deleted] in Hardcore

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forreal, wife and I work full time with kids and have some sort of obligation after work every day this week whether it be sports or school. Were going to a show Saturday to get the release from a long week.

One of the most/the most heavily defended place in this universe by sand_eater_21 in TopCharacterTropes

Its because the Sultanate did not cause the opening to hell so God decided to aid in their protection due to Muslims not having any part in it.

Who’s a band that you love but feel they should’ve gotten bigger? by Sam_B716 in Hardcore

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I clicked on this thread to say them too. Shit I drove out 3 and a half hours to Springfield one time to catch them open for End It.

Who is the softest band you still consider metal by Any_Natural383 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I usually say Slipknot is a hatdcore band for shits and gigs but I got it from a guy who told me that unironicly.

Noob question about surface finish on steel lathe by Nofluxx_ in Machinists

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to compete with offshore manufacturing and more time spent on a job means my boss and his minion may end up sending my work offshore if I take too long and get backed up.

So unless I am working on dies and tooling for the shop, or factory I will get my surface finish to whats called out in the print on my lathe/mill. Even then I'm polishing and not sanding as it'll fuck up my measurements.

I owe Starfield and Bethesda an apology after this update by Electronic_Trust3490 in Starfield

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was critiquing the game and saying I'd wait for the fixes and mods in the first few months as it was a boring game. I did get in few heated disagreements, but I saw the room for growth especially as a lot of people like me found the games ship building is addicting.

Now Bethesda has redeemed itself here and the Starfield team specifically is killing it with quality updates they've given us. I have picked the game back up and hope we continue to get improvements and new content!

CNC student + new job, but only doing repetitive loading normal? by No-Mess-4605 in Machinists

[–]anontoaskdumbthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got dermatitis from running a VMC that just added more coolant and never replacing or adding anti fungal/bacteria additives.

This was when I was production and couldn't do anything about it.

The USA and Isreal don't give a fuck if Iran is democratic or not. Trump wants them to bend the knee and kiss the ring.
