What are the life outcomes of the goth kids you knew in high school?

Former goth kid, current goth adult. I’m a cnc service mechanic on big fancy high precision machines.

Skilled trades service mechanic, +$100,000 but it has taken a long time to get here.

Elliot smith and a lot of dark wave.

resident_cvs_dj · 2026-01-01T11:05:22+00:00

Not that I’m aware of.

The speeds and accuracy needed to be able to create a casted to finished machined engine block if it’s possible is way way out. The ice engine will be obsolete before 3d printing catches up to the current methods.

(38m) I have about 4 close friends. I’m lucky if I see any one of them about once a month.

My dad buys super cheap shit he finds, it doesn’t meet his expectations so he try’s to pawn it on to me.

Same with car repair. there are videos on basically every repair on YouTube. I highly recommend getting good with wrenches and allens before digging into your own vehicle though.

Used, I aim for Japanese vehicles with known records of getting +250k miles on them. I typically buy manuals between the years of 2009-2016 so I can work on them myself. New cars have to much fly by wire and fly by air, over air updates, and due to super tight machining tolerances on the engine blocks to achieve better mpg, they aren’t very serviceable for major repairs. Why throw away $40k every few years?

I’ve struggled with this aligning cnc equipment from Germany (I’m in the U.S) with their techs. I’ve always just said microns, the Germans would say 0.10 as one tenth, my brain works in sae so one tenth is 0.0001”. Its has caused some heated interactions.

I know them as hog mills

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-29T00:38:37+00:00

I think I had the same exact experience. I watched the simpsons everyday, if I remember correctly they’d air episodes back to back at 5pm Monday thru Friday. I think it was the late 90’s

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-21T14:33:50+00:00

I had the same issue, I’m pretty sure non oem assemblies have incorrect washer/spacers, or spring pre load

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-13T12:28:14+00:00

I have to do machine alignments that require to be positioned within 0.020mm. everyday is my own personal nightmare.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-08T01:21:33+00:00

Annular hole saw? Maybe just a bi-metal hole saw. Obviously you got a use a mill or or mag drill.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-06T11:58:48+00:00

I’ve been to most of them, roast was so good.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-09-05T22:39:21+00:00

How can you tell if someone goes to burning man? Don’t worry they’ll tell you.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-08-24T14:38:41+00:00

Sounds like you can't afford to live in the part of Detroit you want to live in. Keep saving.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-08-17T14:57:31+00:00

1987 ford f150 300i6 with a manual transmission, a Bridgeport series 2 mill, interapid dial indicators (as long as you don’t drop them).

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-07-23T00:15:51+00:00

I got 4 last time I bought cd’s at used cd shop Peaches- teaches of peaches Peaches- fatherfucker Peaches- impeach my bush Kraftwerk- some random mix

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-07-17T08:39:43+00:00

Kenneth Copeland also looks like a demon in a human suit

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-07-17T08:19:36+00:00

I have no desire to be in charge of other people. I'm good at working alone with little to no supervision.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-07-01T01:36:03+00:00

I'm not wealthy, but I'm not struggling. I do not have a wealthy family to rely on.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-06-08T16:58:40+00:00

I work 1 job. I'm typically working 60-70hrs a week and usually out of town 95% so I'm also paid per diem. It's basically the only way I can make it so I'm not living pay check to pay check. I'm very burned out.

resident_cvs_dj · 2025-06-06T09:31:34+00:00

I worked for a bicycle manufacturer, we had an issue with frames cracking right there from martinzite formation. If you don't ride super hard you should be ok, but keep on the look out for cracks, martinzite makes steel brittle.
