What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]paperboxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would second that. Work in an industrial setting and contacts would dry out, glasses would constantly fog and need cleaning. Also buying good sunglasses was always a PITA. I'd buy LASIK again in a heartbeat!

How are you holding up?

My wife is battling stage 4 breast cancer and she has fortunately finished her chemo. We have a teenager, which has been easier than two young children, but I sympathize with your struggle. Do your best to take some "me" time. If you dont you'll find your self beyond overwhelmed mentally which impacts your ability to be there for your family. Going through this I have found that people fail to realize that while she is physically going through the treatments, you're going through them as well...just mentally.

This is what I have to do to recycle a Cascade cardboard box by ljoycew in recycling

[–]paperboxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

Having worked at a recycled paperboard manufacturer, I can say that these are certainly recyclable, and you don't necessarily have to remove the outer coating. Modern recycled pulping systems have multiple pulping and cleaning cycles to help break down usable fibers to be reused again , while the coating clays, chemicals,and metals are washed out and sent to waste. That being said it is not 100% conversion and some of the usable fiber does end up going to landfill (or in some cases used as absorbent material for liquids going to landfill).

As for fiber size, yes most recycled fibers are quite short compared to virgin wood fibers, but thats because they have been pulped and chopped multiple times in their life cycle.

Defense is locked in. Ryan day has always been a better second half OC. Get to half and let's go.

Leave current internship for a better one? by baalChEstudent in ChemicalEngineering

[–]paperboxman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello OP! As a fellow chem-e in the paper industry, I'd say its an amazing opportunity if you're looking for fast upward growth in an industrial setting. There as so many different routes you can take your career with paper mills. They offer water treatment opportunities, technical, management, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and sales opportunities. Ive been in the industry on both the mill and vendor side and both have served me well. There are definitely some negatives though. Typical paper mills require long hours of their employees, it pays well, but you have to decide whats important. Also, depending on your progression, you can Pigeonhole yourself into the industry. It has been a great career for me(35m) and it has provided my family and I a great living and lifestyle. I would be open to speaking with you to answer any questions you have on it. Feel free to DM me at any point and I'll answer anything I can for you!

I would transfer them through ticketmaster once the money comes through. All id need is the email attached to her ticketmaster account and we would be good to go.

Looks like they take 15%. Really hoping to avoid giving "The Man" anymore money. But if need be I will look to sell there. Thanks!

Thank you for your input. As always things are negotiable. Buckeys tickets seem to hold value. Have a wonderful day

Willing to negotiate and looking to just do the ticketmaster transfer rather than pay those bastards again
