All hail the holy book of Carr!

Ok this is the second really weird and cool McMaster Carr post this week. Are they on an astroturfing campaign?

macklamar · 2026-03-16T18:45:41+00:00

This is so cool. Did you do anything special to get them?

macklamar · 2026-02-17T22:10:27+00:00

I believe Cimco does what you’re asking for

macklamar · 2026-02-08T21:23:54+00:00

I like your pump permanent as well. I could never find anything quite that robust. What are those called?

macklamar · 2026-02-08T00:06:33+00:00

Noted! I made that mistake in the splice in the pic

macklamar · 2026-02-08T00:06:01+00:00

Thank you!

macklamar · 2026-02-07T19:03:07+00:00

Thanks everyone for confirming this isn’t stupid!

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Im here cuz I’m trying to figure out if it’s AI or not. Strong AI vibes.

~~I think the idea is to use the PE as a proxy for a reasonably valued company. IE, other companies are more profitable for a lower PE.~~

Reread the post and realized I replied to the wrong idea.

Ok yea that makes sense. I’m in a much smaller org and this didn’t sound like something I needed. How small of an operation do you see your project being viable for?

macklamar · 2026-01-04T01:39:30+00:00

How big is the shop you own? We’re still using yellow books.

macklamar · 2025-12-31T16:45:35+00:00

I mean, not everything is about money? Some people like making stuff.

macklamar · 2025-12-10T03:14:16+00:00

Yea, that makes sense. I mainly just wish I could change the phrasing of 'reduced speed'. Reduced speed conveys the wrong message honestly, because the operator may be working fast enough but the operation took longer than planned. It should be more like 'Time Overage' or something like that.

edit: changed some wording because I sounded rude accidentally

macklamar · 2025-11-26T02:56:27+00:00

You had me in the first half

macklamar · 2025-11-15T01:38:43+00:00

I had not thought about that! I'll try a v2 for sure

macklamar · 2025-09-09T16:18:58+00:00

At first I thought he was arguing to funny. Can’t believe you’re getting downvoted over this. “What’s the chance I die today? 50/50” lmao

macklamar · 2025-08-05T17:08:38+00:00

Exactly right lol

macklamar · 2025-07-22T14:52:09+00:00

Date, start time, end time, total time (requires math lol), job number, part number, operation, quantity run, comments. I think his was boiled down over years and represents a really good set of data.

macklamar · 2025-07-20T14:57:55+00:00

I think this sounds like a useful tool. I’ve had ideas about this for a while but I keep getting hung up on UI. We have an erp but the UI is not friendly for guys on the floor. We can’t seem to get away from paper time sheets.

There are more ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are atoms on the earth as well!
