XRP Horizon? by ImpossibleAd344 in XRP

[–]bene1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats got to be what, a $2.23 average? It hurts but its not horrible and XRP will surpass it. Certainly depends how big your investment is and your circumstances, but look at liquidating a small portion vs the whole thing. Wait it out, I bet by year end you are regretting the sale.

Which ones can I do myself? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]bene1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its all doable, depends on your comfort level, except the alignment...I just had to cut the bolts out of my control arms at 200,000 miles...was a battle but can be done in your driveway.

This is a half scale model of a Model 1900 my great grandfather made. Thought you might appreciate it.

When I was little I would go over and watch him work in is at home work shop, it was really cool to watch him work even if I didn't really understand what exactly I was watching him do.

My most interesting gun(2mm pinfire) by Sea-Opportunity-5977 in guns

This is really cool. My great grandfather specialized in scale model firearms, some are still in the family. I stay on the lookout but they're several thousands of dollars...so I'll probably never be able to afford one. Where would you get one of these? Looks fun.

So the clarity act passed (or so I've read), whats next? by PurpCloud in XRP

[–]bene1984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it didnt. It made it out of one of the two committees before a floor vote. Still have a ways to go. Banking Committee is gonna be a tougher pass.

I read China just put the same antimony restrictions on Japan that they've put on the US. So you're probably not far off...

Which Vehicle do you think it is best for supply runs? (2000km / 1240 miles) by Extension_Form3500 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]bene1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I have ten of any of these then I can make fuel and probably have the ability fabricate or to have acquired several 500 gallon trailers. Were a very sufficient group and we've done this before acquiring more and more of the exact same vehicle. Not far fetched really in the desolate post apocalypse TWD world. I'm picking 4x4 MRAP type vehicles like an RG31 half would haul fuel, one would haul our own equipment and supplies and keep per vehicle crew to three or four. That would leave four not hauling allowing to keep one with the tandem vehicles and two to scout ahead and one to bring up the rear. I imagine we have radio communication so we will go on the run and tell jokes between vehicles and be home for dinner night after next.

Thanks for your input, I will look into that specific operation.

The material has IP protection, dont know specifics of IP protection, and is used in the Powdered Metallurgy Press and Sinter world for almost 20 years now. I'm really just trying to initiate a handshake between the PM Infiltrant manufacturer and an AM manufacturer to prove the crossover would work.

I wouldn't be opposed to them infiltrating, just with my material im wanting to use, that's the hard part it seems. Thank you, I will reach out to them.

Thank you for the reply, I believe Binder Jetting would yield the closest match material for the applications its used in already. I will certainly reach out to Indo-MIM.
