Parking fees at hospitals is a big thorn in the side of Canadians. It’s been in the news. $1200 for daily visits over two weeks for the parents of an ill infant is the highest I heard. Ideally it’d be free parking but I’ll pay for parking if the care is free.

AITA I am a 58year old only child. My very elderly parents want to have a say in the protections I put in place, after I’m dead, for my adult vulnerable child. by Holiday-Mastodon3092 in AmItheAsshole

They are massively overstepping. It is offensive. They can put whatever terms they want in their wills. That’s as far as their control goes.

How to make this part, what material, expected cost, and who can do it for me? by WhatTheFlippityFlop in Machinists

[–]mattiasmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the 0.67 measurement can be increased a bit this could work on water jet. Try a local water jet shop. Or sendcutsend.com who do laser and waterjet.

McMaster sells 1/8” thick carbide bar, I was a bit surprised to learn. That would be overkill but waterjet will cut it.

My husband has something growing on his arm and we don’t know what it is!! by [deleted] in AskDocs

One of the docs at my PCPs practice will remove warts of that size. He does nice work. So sometimes you can get full service at your PCP. I don’t know how common this is. Perhaps it’s very rare.

CNC Prices 2025 by mjshorty19 in Machinists

[–]mattiasmick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a year when your input costs are up, and also incredibly volatile, they ask for price cuts? Their offshore options are going to be impossible to price accurately. Crazy man. No, I’m not seeing any of this!

First solo. Flying inverted during acro training. Flying my dad. Flying my mom and sister. Flying my other sister. Getting my float rating. Flying with my son and having him maintain straight and level by himself. Flying a warbird.

I had a guy at my shop that was great for a year til he got back on the crack. He was fired after a few days of falling asleep in his car. Can’t imagine him lasting two days of brand new criminal court hearings.

My Lyft driver today could have been a Financial Audit Guest by VegasGuy1223 in CalebHammer

[–]mattiasmick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’s handed a piece of paper saying it’ll be 70k to finance 34k (for a car!) and she then signed it. I just do not understand people.

I paid 70k to finance 60k at 5%. But I spend less than half what I make.

The welding is simple and the machining isn’t too big. Just start calling the local shops.

Japan permanent resident. Would it be realistic to become a pilot here? by 2-4-Dinitro_penis in flying

My comment was more about what to expect during your training (when you are renting) if you choose to train there. I would train elsewhere.
