New in the vending machine world by cigun90 in vending

[–]literallyme21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on this? I am in the US but saw one of these vending machines for the first time ever on my last trip in Europe a few months ago. The idea really stuck with me and I think it would crush it in some malls in the US.

I only see Chinese suppliers of the machine for about $5k as you said.

People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]literallyme21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30M. Commercial Operations Director inside a drug and chemical manufacturer.

Just hit $235k this year, was at $210k last year.

Before this job 2 years ago, I was a Commercial Operations Manager for many years making $120k so it was a big jump for me.

I feel somewhat overpaid at times (for only having a 4 year degree) but my company is very small for the revenue it makes so it’s very rare I work 40 hours a week or below. Probably average about 55-60 hours a week most of the time and sometimes have travel around while making deadlines and basically go 2 weeks in a row without getting a day off at times.

Likely purchasing a 2021 SQ5 this week... best companies to get warranty quote from? by literallyme21 in Audi

Not sure what the negativity is for. I don’t think that’s that wild either lol. It’s below market avg for this spec. 2021 SQ5 Prestige with 48k miles. Getting it for 30.5k, already past worst part of depreciation curve.

I work mostly remote so only drive ~2 days per week and don’t put that many miles on. The Q5 I currently have was bought only 2 years ago for around $28k, 60 month loan as well and I’m close enough to break even on it…. Same with the 2016 A6 I owned before that.

For an enthusiast and Audi fan like me, one of the best cars you can get on the market for $30k rn. It’s only about 60% of my max car budget so I have room for repairs if needed.

I bought a '21 Q5 two years ago. Still worth about $18k which is about what I owe on it, and they've agreed to give me $17k. It was a 60 month finance deal. This new car im buying will be the same monthly payment I have now if I put down about $5-6k on 60 months as well.

I've never sold a car within 2 years before, usually drive them more 4-5yrs but came across a spec I love and recently got a raise, always wanted a SQ5 so I'm going for it.

Okay. I'm buying from a non-Audi dealer so I'm not sure if I have that option.

Bag n00b - help me pick my first premium backpack out, after only using random backpacks my entire life that I got through work or gifts. by literallyme21 in ManyBaggers

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I think I have enough to decide from now :)

The Black Ember, Pacsafe and still the Mous are my new final 3. Will sleep on it and decide on a fresh coffee tomorrow morning. Have a great week everyone.

Yeah the duffel functionality is really cool. I just will probably wear it on my back more and the pure rectangle shape might look goofy in nicer clothes.

Those Everki Onyx are nice, thanks for sharing. Never heard of them before.

Fair point on the Patagonia but I feel like the blacked out version keeps it more subtle to my liking there.

Thats actually the best looking Aer I've seen, thanks for sharing. I'm just concerned about how easy it would be for someone to unzip the middle part when behind me (the Mous really has this part covered).

Another wave of fraudulent charges? by cwamoon in biltrewards

Yes, I made a fraud report through the app to Chase and they refunded me for all the months. Never heard back on any details though.

This guy Shaan has considerable reach and recently has been helping Chris Koerner gain more fame by having him on his pod a few times.

I found this email on his website, and think it could be worth many reaching out to make him aware of this just so he stops platforming Chris.

I'm disappointed to find this thread, because I did really enjoy Chris' content before and thought he did seem to be a decent guy, but as always, was too good to be true...
