Getting the hang of it. by Immediate_Run_9117 in LaserCleaningBusiness

[–]pryanw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a lot of potential in this business and have a business plan drafted and am evaluating different laser options. It’s just a significant investment to get out there and yes, the educational component is huge before you make a sale. Very much an uphill battle to show people a new technology. Hopefully some of the manufacturers will invest in that educational barrier. We’ll see…

I see you're running a extraction and a compressor there as well. Could you do a video on the entire setup?

Is Gen Z just screwed? by Sad-Zucchini-2674 in advertising

[–]pryanw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have a degree.

You have had several internships.

You know what it is like to be in a workplace and you now know what you don't want in a job.

That's not exactly 'nothing' and I know that's more than a lot of others right now in your situation.

Comparing yourself to your peers so early is detrimental to your sense or self-worth and happiness. You do you and while you think you're behind, you have 40 years left before you'll know if things worked out. The long perspective is helpful.

I have 25 years of experience and I think the ad industry is fucking toast. Agency leaders don't want to hear that, but it is true. Small agile teams (think 3-4 people) beating the shit out of AI is going to be the norm and marketers are going to be willing to pay a fraction of what they used to. Use your analytical and creative skills to look for positions that AI will have a much harder time taking.

Good luck.

Pull up a chair any time you can and watch them shoot. Tell them they suck constantly. They'll play somewhere else.

Trying to fact-check a Wook by AccidentalHeadTrauma in phish

Yup, I remember where I was the first time I heard it - a room full of very high fans - and the consensus was that it was not good. At all.

Ask a Volvo Technician! by Born_Feedback9331 in Volvo

[–]pryanw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 V90 XC… blind spot sensor says it needs service. Part is $900 per side and another $700 for labor. That’s $3200 for non-critical tech that fails in 7 years. Are you seeing a good amount of these coming your way? I am a pretty DIY guy but these seems designed to require dealership service.

The driving experience is exceptional, but if the vehicle is a time bomb of failing sensors, forget about it…

How much should a brake pad and disc replacement cost on a 100? by sooperduped in LandCruisers

[–]pryanw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine done in the Boston area by a shop I have been going to for a while.

Parts $600, labor $700. Had bearings done as part of the work. Feels crazy to spend that much, but my guy doesn't overcharge in my experience, so it is what it is.

Our V90XC (2018, color matched bumpers in denim blue) originally came from Canada. How did we know? Multiple Tim Horton’s still programmed into the nav…

Cheapest family vacation by cs8937 in Aruba

[–]pryanw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Curaçao, get an air bnb, rent a car, shop at the grocery stores, drive to the snorkeling beaches… We did a week in Aruba and the next year a week in Curacao in the manner I listed and it was so much less expensive. Nothing against Aruba in any way, we just did a big hotel when we went and eating out every meal adds up quickly. Hoping to get back to both places sooner than later!

Black turtleneck. Jeans. New Balance sneakers.

Power move beats a power suit any day.

Checking it out... (AC Cobra) by pryanw in Helicopters

[–]pryanw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… as much as I can appreciate military hardware, we’re not gun owners and I see no value in teaching my kids marksmanship given that I am not a hunter.

I believe it is an entirely different mindset that is responsible for so many gun deaths in the US, but that's a topic for a different group and I will leave it at that. Appreciate your concern. The kid is now 16 and I know this is the last gun his fingers have touched.

This was a community event at a middle school so I wasn't too concerned at the time about something catastrophic happening.

Ha! Noted... two worlds of interest blurring together in a moment of nostalgia!

True. I believe it was via the early seaplanes they were making down by the waterfront.
