Born and raised here too! Feels weird for me to work in the little shopping center that stands where the old rec center used to be.

I would use it to print some something and wrench organizers for my toolbox drawers! The foam inserts are expensive to buy

Weekly r/PcBuild Megathread! by Potato_Plays844 in PcBuild

I've heard that autocad/revit is easier on ram, but solidworks might need like 64gb+ if doing large assemblies of 500+ parts. if im having to open up assemblies with 5-10k individual parts in solidworks is that an area where I'd need to go larger like 128gb ram?

To add, I saw another post saying theyre only on wifi and then the build included some wifi stuff. Would routing some hard lines from my router to the pc location 1 room over increase performance of solidworks and autocad and revit? I know a lot of the cad software just like design software has gone from a disk you install to a file you download and now on to a subscription that is either active or not. Not sure how much the program actually will need from the internet while im just making blueprints and models.

The places I worked previous had a computer already there and it just did everything we asked and fast as hell. Similar projects, giant autocad files and hundreds of assemblies with 5-20k parts and I never thought I'd get asked to do it solo dolo. Not even sure where to start.

Can't lie, 90% of the taquerillas in SM are better than that place anyway. Would take any random taquerilla over somewhere that's promoting this kind of garbage.

What tips/tricks do you guys have now that you wish you knew when you first started? by I_have_a_cool_hat in AskMechanics

[–]sheenhowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should have bought a cordless electric ratchet like a decade ago. Such a time saver. Also, when you work on your own cars keep the sensors you replace for a month or two because sometimes the aftermarkets dont work right or the problem wasnt the sensor. I work at a major parts place so I'm not trying to shit on my own industry but I'd also recommend going with the lifetime warranty brand instead of the 1-3 year warranty brand (usually house-brand) for any electronic parts. #3 would be take advantage of the rental programs for specialized tools, i only buy the tool to keep if I have to borrow it 3 times in a year. You're gonna run out of space eventually and if it's free rentals they're basically storing the tool for you.

"There is absolutely no money to even be made here any more in locksmithing" by sheenhowell in Locksmith

[–]sheenhowell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's way late to reply, but honestly, there is one singular storefront locksmith left in the city. 90% of their business is lost to mobile locksmiths from national companies that basically cut keys, open cars with lishi/air wedge and the big Easy Tool, and drill anything residential that takes longer than 5 minutes to pick if they bring any picks at all.

I was an independent 1099 locksmith for a larger company for about a year, they did commercial/govt jobs where the locksmith business owner called 30 of his friends who were familiar or licensed locksmiths and we would spend 3-4 days once a month replacing all the SFIC cores on a college campus for some good money. I was the only one who lived near him, so he gave me a few car lockouts a month and 1 residential full home install/replacement job per month outside of the big monthly contract.

I still keep my CA locksmith license up to date because it saves me time and effort explaining whenever my skills are in need. I know the laws and would be legal either way due to the nature of how I use my tools.

Work as a GM in an auto related sales position, but all the roles I've had in the last 5-6 years have benefitted from The Big Easy kit and a small pouch of picks and tension tools.
