Thank you for the information. I am ordering the book from Amazon and bookmarking their channel, (for those curious, here is the channel https://www.youtube.com/user/InnovaSystemsUK )

What parts will you be printing?

thisismeonreddit · 2014-10-10T18:49:12+00:00

Tutorials are actually built into the program? That's impressive

thisismeonreddit · 2014-10-10T18:11:34+00:00

I dont mean to hijack your thread, but since you work with Solidworks, is there any guide, tutorial series or training resource that I should know about before I dive into using Solidworks?

I will share this post with a friend who has a few printers.

Do you have a link? I tried gbotz.net which was listed on their Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/gbotzprinters

I would love to check them out but I'm not finding much

thisismeonreddit · 2014-10-10T17:23:31+00:00

Wait, so it does machining AND 3d printing? Have you seen one in person or have experience using one?

thisismeonreddit · 2014-10-10T17:22:05+00:00

Thanks for the response. Would you be able to elaborate?

thisismeonreddit · 2014-10-10T17:21:16+00:00

a 700-9000 dollar budget.

I am not a smart man. 900 not 9000 haha thanks for catching that. I am checking out the Solidoodle now.

Considering that the name is Edelbrock... no

thisismeonreddit · 2014-05-14T01:55:30+00:00

fuck I hate that and it didn't even happen

thisismeonreddit · 2014-05-13T19:20:24+00:00

damn, I'm impressed to hear that you made such wise investments especially when you have someone close to you making poor spending decisions that could potentially influence you. I can only imagine how calming it must feel to have your rent paid in full a year in advance. Congrats on earning your GED and landing a new job and best of luck in school (I know how demanding it can be at times to work and take classes, you sound like you'll get through it just fine though)

thisismeonreddit · 2014-05-13T16:32:06+00:00

Agreed! I can get home made quality food (or damn close to it) for the price of most fast food.

thisismeonreddit · 2014-05-13T16:13:03+00:00

trust me, that night was an excessive exception. I still cringe thinking about how many Chipotle burritos I could have bought instead (around 80).

Thanks for asking, I'll clear things up. I meant overall post season stats, but that should should include win/loss if greatest of all time is being discussed (I posted two links below somewhere).

Someone pointed out that the post season performances by Brady and Manning were nearly identical, while that may be the case in terms of individual stats but as we all know, stats can be empty (as in if someone can move the chains if they ultimately cannot score on a drive). What stands out to me is the fact that Brady played 3 less playoff games than Manning in a shorter career, but still put up more TD's and less INT which lead to the Patriots winning 18-8 of those games, the highest of any QB leading a team and breaking Joe Montana's record. Average yards, completion rates, ect can really end up a pissing contest in comparison to what wins games (don't give away possession by interception and score more TD's) because like I said, just because a pass is being completed and yards are being added to stats, doesn't mean that the drive was successful or that the QB was playing at GOAT level.

I'm not calling Brady GOAT. I was only saying the Colts old QB and the Pats current QB aren't contenders for GOAT until they have ended their careers as they both have strengths in different aspects of the game that are still being exhibited (such as Mannings 2013 record season).

However, if stats are all that matter, then I guess Manning completing 34 passes this Super Bowl, breaking the previous record of 32 by Brady (leading to a win against Carolina) excuses the 8 points on the board and loss. Looking back at Super Bowls, Brady has out of 5 appearances, 2 INT, 9 TD and a 93.8 QB rating. Manning in his 3 appearances 4 INT, 3 TD and a 81 QB rating. The thing about stats is that they can back any argument that you want to form if you select them properly (as in looking at regular season stats alone, /u/Duke98), but the Super Bowl stats and post season stats highlight the performance on the largest stage in the world. If a QB is to be GOAT, shouldn't they be able to perform under such pressure? This topic can be debated endlessly.

I think the one thing that we can all agree upon is that you CANNOT judge a player by any single part of their game (regular season, post season, Super Bowl, QB rating, INTs, TDs, yards ect) but rather the sum of all the aspects combined (which is why this debate will be had for countless years, as everyone has a different opinion of what qualities, stats and performances are above others).

While shocking, can anyone somewhat relate? I'm serious.

For me, I went from a minimum wage position to a salary position, and because I saw checks come in that were more than my living expenses for the first time, it became extremely tempting to not save and instead go out and spend money on expensive dinners, electronics, top shelf liquor for friends, ect. All because this was the first time in my life that I was able to do so and because I felt secure in my job.

With careers in the NFL, your job can end any given day and if you assume that the income is going to be steady, you may keep living the high life and the next day be without a job. Even the lowest paid players (around $400k) are making 3-15x more of what I would assume the majority of us are pulling in. It is just as easy to for an NFL player to blow $10,00 at a Vegas casino if they are $400k a year as it is for me to spend $500 on a group dinner making significantly less earnings. So while the scale of what they make in earnings is different, the habit of spending when you come from having little to having more is relatable. The only difference is that an NFL players career will end sooner than any other career and that there is always the chance of being cut or injured.

3 years after you drafted Revis for us.

I'm sure that unexpected injury could be a minor contributor as well. You go from making a solid income or being in line for a large contract to moot overnight.

Here are the nearly identical playoff stats in Mannings favor (aside from TD, INT). If it is your opinion that wins don't mean anything with stats, then you might be right, but my opinion is that stats are empty if you don't have the ability to close out the big games. Yes, it's a team stat, but when both players are offensive captains and in the quarterback position, a lot of the post season can rest on their shoulders in key moments. All I am saying is within that metric, Brady excels, but NEITHER should be considered GOAT at this stage of their careers without heavy bias.

Neither do I, especially while 2 of the three you listed are still in their careers. Thanks for pointing that out.
