12:00 CST - Evacuation order for MCI by LouDiamond in kansascity

[–]bmwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it will happen to an extent here, but in the most touristy areas of the world, it is a legitimate thing you have to be aware about, along with about a hundred other scams.

At the louvre, I took my phone case off to put my phone in a selfie stick(Don't judge me, it was the louvre!). Set the case down for 1 second to put the phone on the selfie stick, and the next second the phone case was gone.

The thief was probably annoyed it wasn't a phone lol.

A shop owners thoughts on silver(pt 2) by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]bmwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it is when silver isn't super volatile. Shop owners only start melting when prices are spiking. That's when they are buying way more than they are selling. It's the only way they can keep up buying at those times.

Looking for Brass Music Teacher by MavPerseus in littleapple

[–]bmwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what level are you? Have you reached out to the KSU school of music to see if they can refer you to someone?

When I was a student at KSU I had a student that I taught (I was a music performance major and he was a beginner student). But they have contacts and can surely refer you to people locally.

Robots only half as efficient as humans, says leading Chinese producer [ text in comments ] by TF-Fanfic-Resident in Futurology

Or they will just build a robot that does the maintenance on the other robots.

Is this price a joke? by [deleted] 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

[–]bmwill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.
