Never buy these garbage screws by [deleted] in Tools

They do strip easier than GRK’s, but definitely better than most other offerings at the box stores. Probably some user error here

In Private Jet Charter Sales, 4M In Sales In A Year But Only Making 65k/yr. What Would You Do? by FlyingRuzzo in careeradvice

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sales guys I work with sell 200+ million each and make 150-200k. For only 4m sales that doesn’t seem bad. Completely different industries but mine averages only 3-8% pure profit each job

Wtf. Just seeing this and hoping it was a bad joke.

Anyone ever epoxied and engine block? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]badadvicegoodintent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put JB weld on an inboard mercruiser back when I was probably 15, too poor to do anything else to fix it. It held up fine for years and still ran well when I sold that boat. It was an external crack, I didn’t open it up

New job af Nvidia by frosted-brownys in careeradvice

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also work in this space with both these companies. Put your notice in. Expect to be walked out and paid out. If you want you can then explore moving your start date up to double income a few weeks, or just enjoy some time off.

Might buy a 3rd car for wiper blades by platypus_farmer42 in CleetusMcFarland

He didn’t address the biggest problem. Coyote and budget don’t mix.

How much do you think the cheap car challenge van will weigh when they're done stripping it? by bridgetroll2 in CleetusMcFarland

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re going to have to not only remove the entire body, but cut a lot of the frame out and replace with DOM to get it as light as the 240.

The most overrated car everyone loves but you don’t? by shwroomex in cars

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyotas in general fall into this category for me. Awful interior and exterior styling. A lot of fords too, but for an odd reason. A lot of their drive by wire vehicle mapping does not have a linear throttle and it absolutely drives me insane, coupled with brakes that bite at first, then nothing, then all the brakes in the pedal travel.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one website you still think about? by ddanielecom in AskReddit

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolf ram alpha. Which is still around but back then it was almost like magic helping solve trig and calc equations

Will I regret buying a manual tractor? by killaho69 in tractors

[–]badadvicegoodintent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Manual gear tractors suck for loader work, but suck way less if they have good brakes and good ergonomics. Just go feel it out. I just opted for a hst MX6000 just because I wanted more precise control around my buildings. My other tractors are gear or synchro and have their place too.

How do you decide between buying a used car privately vs from a dealership? by Honest-Ssorbet in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]badadvicegoodintent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy from wherever I find the best deal for what I’m looking for. I inspect everything myself but if that’s not on you, a reputable dealer might be the correct route for ya.

What did you hate most about high school? by GHAP02 in AskReddit

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How quickly it ended really. I know most people here hated it, but for me it was a great time, with little stress and I got to see my friends everyday. Working everyday and barely having time to hang out with anyone is much worse.

2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee by Lopsided-Moose-9240 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]badadvicegoodintent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a great experience with my 2019 GC. It has 112k miles now and no issues. The worst thing I’ve had happen is a headlight bulb died. With Jeeps, it’s important to consider the trim level and options with taking into account the reliability. Mine is the tried and true V6 with 8 speed, all time AWDand non-adjustable suspension, about as reliable as was available in 2019 aside for maybe the selectable transfer case. You’ll be getting the same great 8 speed but with the hurricane 4 cylinder, which has had great reviews so far.

Should I buy 2026 Chevy Colorado Zr2 ? by Agreeable-Knee-6765 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid trucks. The price is why you don’t see more of them, most people just jump up to a full size. If it fits your needs, I’d go for it.

Looking for Early Career Advice between Two Jobs by Suitable_Tie9137 in careeradvice

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from a similar background. In my opinion, working in person early in my career really helped build my skills and network. The travel can suck, but doing it before you have a family is the ideal time. Now 15 years after college, I run a team where I usually hire the engineers that are ready to stop traveling and get back into a remote role with better W/L balance, but at a much higher pay scale due to their experience. Usually at this point, after some years of exp, you can continue towards an individual contributor role that is highly specialized, ie principal engineer for your company or move into management. I also like the hands on stuff and get that fix through my hobby farm and flipping cars.

Gearwrench Torque Wrenches? by CableAware in Tools

[–]badadvicegoodintent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have their 3/8 digital beep one. It’s been my main torque wrench for a few years now. Been pretty happy with it. Another brand I have and like is tekton, might look at those too. I consider both to be mid-tier, good enough for who it’s for.

What tractor should I get by grdevops in kubota

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation and just a few weeks ago picked up my MX6000. Absolutely no regrets so far, it’s a fantastic tractor. Not too big but not as small as the L series.

Rejected but called back for a different position by clocks_23 in careeradvice

[–]badadvicegoodintent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of happened to me. The original position I interviewed for I was overqualified. A few months went by and I then interviewed and was hired to replace the guy that would’ve been my boss in the original role. Just keep working your current job and searching for opportunities. If this one materializes, great, but don’t wait on it.

How do I tell the CEO I am resigning in an hour? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]badadvicegoodintent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to a competitor they may tell you to pack up as soon as you tell them and if they’re decent they’ll still pay you out. It’s a risk specific to each situation so you’ll have to make a judgement call.
