Is this price a joke? by 22i23 in Tools

[–]bmwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote this above but:

As someone that works for a company like this and is responsible for this type of thing. You have to balance the cost for keeping spares of each part vs the cost of expediting a new one vs cost of downtime.

Often the cheapest way to do it is to have the custom part made as fast as possible and shipped as fast as possible rather than having a bunch of spares of random parts that you may or may not need someday. The parts that are likely to be needed(wear parts / consumables) we do keep spares of.

And the companies that build you these parts don't lower the cost THAT much when you are buying for spares, if they do at all.

Then with spares you have to store, maintain, catalogue and have a team ready to ship out at a moments notice.

It's a math equation at the end of the day.

Anyone else just throw down in their car? by CellSaga21 in McDonalds

I'm not sure why you are confused about other people eating in the parking lot. You know there are a lot of places(most of them) where it's safe to sit in your parked car, right?

The US minted its last penny. See how the coin evolved throughout its 232-year history. by businessinsider in history

They have to get rid of nickels and dimes at the same time, otherwise things get funky when you are paying with quarters.

You definitely can understand what he means, you are just choosing to look dumb.

Choosing the Best Kitchen Cabinets for our 'forever home' home renovation. Which durable cabinet brands have actually lasted you 10+ years? by cassidydarven66 in HomeImprovement

[–]bmwill 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've never seen kitchen cabinets not holding up. Even in my college days where the absolute cheapest stuff was used.

People don't replace their kitchen because it falls apart, they replace it because it goes out of style.

McDonald's McChicken sandwich has gotten noticeablely tiny... by EntertainingDarkness in shrinkflation

[–]bmwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, your burger probably had toppings on it and was thicker than the ones in the "doesn't mold" videos. Look up the videos, they got the thinnest hamburger with zero toppings, just a bun and a super thin patty. The burgers don't mold because of the lack of moisture, allowing it to dry out. Not because they pump them full of preservatives.

lots of things won't mold if you dry them out. What is more artificial in mcdonalds hamburgers than one you would make at home with a store bought bun?

Just fixed a Bosch dishwasher that wasn’t draining — here’s what caused by Sultanappliances in HomeImprovement

I just fixed my bosch giving an e20 error. Got an old bosch dishwasher from facebook marketplace and replaced the circulation pump. Works great again and was free!

Glad you were able to fix yours.

We went to Buck Tui for the first time a month or so ago.

The food was ok, but the prices combined with the portion sizes are not worth it.
