Ok, knife nerds. I'm fairly new in this whole thing so many I'm just getting too. The more I look at these colors , the more they're growing on me.I need help deciding on which to go with. Only thing I like is Vosteed has 20% off their Raccoons right now and this model I can get for $57 I think. Civivi's are $89 and this Drop Bear is bad ass which I missed the sale on the all black with the purple thumb stud which is mint imo. It WAS on sale for $83 in which I missed so I'm holding out on that $119. Anything I should know or any deciding factor would be appreciated. Or do I buy the last Night Shade? HEEEEELP! | 0 |
White Mountain Knives coming through with the restock of this the other day, and I 100% get the hype that this knife got now. Action is frighteningly slick, drops shut like a guillotine, and that mirror polish DLC is so much more impressive in person than what the pictures can demonstrate. The Fat Carbon scales too, look way better in real life than they do online. Definitely glad I picked this up.
Also, shout out to WMK and also the USPS for the less than 36 hours from order to delivery. Certainly helps to live just a couple hours away from their location, but still. | 0 |
It’s been a while since I’ve found a knife that has me wanting to buy another one in less than a day. North Arm is one of those companies that’s done it. This thing disappears in pocket, both in with jeans and athletic shorts. The feel of the carbon fiber scales is nothing short is silky smooth in every was. The quality of carbon is also top notch. The action drops shut in a very controllable, but effortless way. Mind bending with the blade stock and weight. The detent is both strong and light at the same time somehow. It breaks insanely crisp but doesn’t take a ton is effort to deploy. The blade though. The hazy mirror is stunning and the geometry makes for a laser beam. Mine came hair whittling sharp out of box. You also CAN’T shake it open. If you’ve been on the fence admit buying a Skaha 2, do it. You won’t regret the purchase or the 4-6 week lead time. | 0 |
Fun Fact 1: Three out of five full grown adults will make supersonic jet sounds with their mouth when they look at this pic.
Fun Fact 2: You probably just made the sound, just to see if you can.
Fun Fact 3: If you haven’t made the sound yet, what the heckfire is wrong with you, son??
🔪 CKF Davless # 342, two tone blackwash S90V, Superconductor inlay, milled carbon fiber scales, zircuti clip
🔪 Null Raiden # 252, Thor Damasteel, black PVD ti with gold accents
🔪 Eutsler Neutralizer, Magnacut, ti with twill carbon fiber inlays, ti accents | 0 |
Finally got my North Arm Skaha 2 in today in magnacut and all I can say is WOW!!!! It’s literal edc perfection imo. Everything from the glassy smooth carbon scales and contouring to the physics defying act and detent. It’s glorious. Don’t even get me started on the factory edge. Hair whittling sharp out of box. I think this will be getting all of the pocket time the rest of the summer at least. It’s barely noticeable in pocket. Even in under armor athletic shorts. Needed to say I’ll be hunting down the other three carbon fiber variants also in magnacut.

I bought this WE Upshot off of the swap a couple weeks ago. The guy who sold it to me said it had been modded but couldn’t tell me anything else, and since the paperwork was all legit I didn’t think too much of it. I’d enjoyed it so far but noticed a slight dark color to the blade, similar to what appears in image three. Assuming this was some kind of patina or rust I took a bit of glitz polishing compound to it and now it appears I’ve expanded the dark area. It has a rough texture. Have I taken off some kind of mirror plating? I’m not used to polishing knives and having this happen. Can anyone offer and insights? | 0 |
Hello, KnifeClub!
I just wanted to give Skiff Workshop a shoutout. I managed to order the wrong bearings *twice* while I was sick and tired. Not only did Skiff Workshop give me a return on the first, but when they replied to my email asking them to cancel the second order, they took the initiative to send me the correct bearing *and* applied a discount since the bearings I actually needed are slightly more expensive than the set I paid for.
Also, Mr. Skiff himself thanked me for leaving a review for a set of Thick Washers I'd purchased a while back. As a new customer, I'm incredibly impressed by and grateful for their kind support.
Give Skiff all your business! | 0 |
I recently picked up an Iridium from KJ. I bought it just so I could get into the KJ+ system. It was inexpensive and I'd been curious about it, so it was a logical choice. Anyway, it arrived and I am very impressed with it. It did arrive as sharp as a butter knife, but I like sharpening anyway, even D2.
So my question for those that have handled both, is the Bel Air the Iridium with better steel? Is the action and ergos the same or better? They look strikingly similar. I'd love this same feel in a knife with a premium steel. The Iridium is going no where for now, but another Kershaw may be in my future. | 0 |
Brother, sisters, and all the beautiful others. I am one of you, I have big blades that could tear down a house and small blades that couldn’t hurt a mouse. I search, I study, I think that’s a blade perfect for me. All the imagery scenarios running through my hear head I know this knife will be the magic key.
New knife day arrives, I rip open the packaging (carful to not ding the box). Pull out the knife and marvel at its craftsmanship, attention to detail, and of course how it opens so smoothly. But then I realize this knife is far too nice to leave out or god forbid use. So back in the box, then to the safe and I feel like yes I’ve completed my knife collection, that is until one of you post a new beauty then the scenarios start again.
I’m using an older Auto Spyderco to open letters, boxes, and pretty much anything that needs to get cut, all while having a couple dozen beautiful knifes just sitting in a dark safe. I know I do not need another blade but when I see a new one the it becomes all I can think about.

Hello pcgamers, i'm currently setting up the list of components for the prime days this week,
I already have a PNY RTX 4080 XLR8 (i got it in a flash sale for 800$), and i need to figure out the cpu to pare it with: this pc will be gaming only since my current pc (i7 9700k 2070super) will continue to serve as my productivity machine. My choice are Ryzen 9 7950X3D vs i7-14700k, i would love a i9 14900k bit i'm too scared of its power consumption.
I must admit i've always been a intel man and on same performance i would always buy intel even for a lot more money, but lately i've red too much negative review about intel gaming crashes/performance.
I would appreciate advices from R9 and i7/i9 owners please
Edit: i am playing on 1440p | 0 |
Hey, possible build at end
Someone helped me build this PC for 1920 USD (Israel is expnsive :( ) for 1440p gaming
Now I'm not so sure about the CPU...
It's either the 7500f for 224 USD
The 7600 for 236 USD
Or the 7600x for 266 USD.
Are the differences between these CPUs major?
Also, I'm not sure about the CPU fan, right now it's an arctic Colling freezer 7 x, is this good enough for the CPU?
Thanks in advance
P.S the graphics card is discounted from 968 USD to 830, which is the same price as a gigabyte Rx 7900 gre

A few days ago I posted a pcpartpicker list for a new PC I'm planning building and the only reason I wanted an i9 is because I edit videos and having 4:2:2 hardware accelleration support is a good thing (even if it comes from the iGPU)
The more I was looking for answers, the worse it got... Is it so hard to make a quiet PC with an 14th gen i9? What about software issues? People claim there are problems with the 14th gen when it comes to stability and that's a big no no for me, playing games is just part of what I do with the PC
TLDR; Is it possible with the right case and the right fans to get a quiet PC that won't melt?
Is the i9 14900k really that unstable? | 0 |
i bought a new 2 tb nvme gen 4 drive, as i needed more ssd space as i was running out on my 1tb sata ssd and on my 500 gb gen 3 nvme
so right now i have the windows instal on my gen 3 500 gig drive and i dont really know if i just use my new drive as a steam library/ anything that requires faster storage and keep the windows instalation alone on my 500gb gen3 nvme, or if i just move/ reinstall windows to my new drive and i dont even know what use i give my gen 3 drive for xD
what should i do? what is your opinion? | 0 |
I was planning on buying the [i9-14900K, 3,2 GHz (6,0 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1700 processor](/Intel/Core-i9-14900K-3-2-GHz-(6-0-GHz-Turbo-Boost)-socket-1700-processor/html/product/100009759).
But after seeing the video of Gamers Nexus ( [/watch?v=oAE4NWoyMZk](/watch?v=oAE4NWoyMZk) ) and Wendell's ( [/watch?v=QzHcrbT5D\_Y](/watch?v=QzHcrbT5D_Y) ), I'm not too sure anymore.
I wanted to build a high-end PC but don't want any issues with my CPU either.
Edit: I never expected so many replies and that much help. I've been trying to read as many comments as possible, but I won't succeed in reading all of them. | 0 |
Budget: $800 (I went a bit over but it's fine)
List: [/list/HGRp6D](/list/HGRp6D)
Can you guys provide any feedback on the list or ways to decrease the price without affecting the speed or functionality?
By the way I don't know if I can stress this enough but speed is a number one priority. I don't care if the fan is as loud as a jet engine. I just need speed because I have low patience and play extremely demanding games like Flight Simulator, GTA 5, Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk, and Forza.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but i literally cut my finger and bled all over my GPU while I trying to remove it. the little socket, that has the thing you have to push at one end (I'm sorry English isn't my first language) IT'S SO HARD TO PUSH DOWN, first I don't have any space, and that's probably my fault for having small room in my pc, but still it took so much force pushing it down and after i finally did it, i realized i cut my finger, and bled all over the gpu... Plus I'm not like a little weak guy at all, im 6'6 and weigh like 210 pounds... So i don't know if my method was wrong or what. | 0 |
Parts:
1. Mobo: Asus Tuf Gaming B550m-plus Wifi
2. Cpu: And Ryzen 5 3600x
3. Ram: HyperX Fury Ddr4 16GB 3200MHz
4. Gpu: Gtx 1650
5. Psu: Cooler Master MWE 550w
6. Ssd: Msi Spatium M460 1TB
Estimated price: 700 dollars
Goals:
1. Long lasting and somewhat future proof
(10 years with upgrades)
2. Reliable
Uses:
1. Really lightweight gaming, I rarely game
2. Heavy duty designing and editing but not at a professional level, I am just a student.
Alternative:
LGA 1700 platform but it's a bit over the budget.
Questions:
Should I stay with Amd or Intel? Price to performance wise. Yes, 10 years future proofing sounds dumb but I never wanted a high end pc, I need it just enough for my use.
Realistically 7 years future proofing?
Quickest option available to me:
H310m with i5 8/9th CPU (not sure)
8GB Ddr4
No GPU
Generic Psu
Sata Ssd
Everything pre-built
Price: less than 200$ | 0 |
Goal: Play games at 1440p at 60+ fps (though 120fps would be awesome too).
A friend of mine very generously gave me a PC that he built in 2017. I'm looking to improve its gaming performance without changing out any internals other than GPU and power supply unit.
I play lots of stuff and it all runs like garbage.
Willing to spend up to $600-700 on GPU, though I imagine given my specs it may not be worth it spending that much.
**Current specs**:
|CPU|Intel Core i5-6402P 2.8 GHz Quad-Core|
|:-|:-|
||
|CPU Cooler|Noctua NH-U12S|
|Motherboard|MSI B150M BAZOOKA|
|Memory|Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2133|
|Storage|SSD 512GB (with external 2TB SSD for my Steam library)|
|GPU|Radeon RX 480 4GB (yes, only 4GB) 1750 MHz|
|Power Supply|ATNG ATM-600FB 600W ATX 80+|
At this point, pretty much any GPU would be an improvement for this computer. It all sits inside a rather large CyberPowerPC tower.
Any recommendations on power supply units are also welcome.
Everything else I don't really want to change because at that point I might as well just get a new computer. I recognize that the rest of my hardware reduces the number of graphics cards I could realistically run on this thing, but as I said before, pretty much any GPU would be better than the 4GB RX 480 card that I have.
I'm new to all of this so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! | 0 |
Hello
I upgraded my RAM from 32GB to 128GB (4x32GB). The system detects 128GB, but only 3.46GB is available for use. Any idea as to why this might be happening and how to fix this.
The system operated fine without any issues for the past 2 years with 32GB memory.
Here are the system details:
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580
BIOS: E7C02AMS.150 (The last stable version for the 2600 series)
OS: Windows 11 Pro (64bit)
Old memory: ADATA XPG Gammix D10 DDR4 3000
New memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 3200(PC4-28800) C18Corsair Vengeance LPX 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 3200(PC4-28800) C18
Thank you
EDIT: This issue was resolved by updating BIOS. Thank you all for your suggestions. | 0 |
Hey All. I just purchased Jeremy's practice paper and I would say it's worth the $10. The questions weren't easy and I really had to think about the answers.
I am still left with 10% of the syllabus, and I scored quite low in the practice test. Around 60-65%.
People who took the CCNA, How would you guys compare the difficulty of the exam to the practice paper? Or even if you compare it To Boson.
I will be taking my ccna on 10th of August. So I still have a month left to brush on.
Any other recommendations will be helpful.
Thanks in advance. | 0 |
Basically, I had my exam scheduled for today, and forgot about it
Gave myself a month of prep time when I scheduled my exam, then completely forgot to prepare for it due to hectic weeks at work. Got a google calendar reminder last night, realised it was too late to postpone and started preparing from scratch. Studied for a total of about 10 hours, wrote the exam and got a pass result. However, my section analysis results are 45%, 85%, 72%, 100%, etc.
Does the pass result showing on PearsonVue mean I get my certification? I read somewhere that people got a pass on their test according to PearsonVue, but got a mail from Cisco saying they failed.
I could only crunch through the material because of my background as an SRE (1 year overall experience)
tl;dr forgot to prepare for my exam, still got a pass result but had bad scores. | 0 |
I’m currently in school to get my CCNA, CCST, and an associates in Cybersecurity for now. I will continue into my bachelors, it will be a while until that’s completed. I plan on going into the field shortly (networking first) before completing the Associates degree (which includes CCNA & CCST courses). If I don’t remember how to execute specific codes, but I understand the concepts of everything, how hindering could/would that be? I plan to brush up before examinations anyways, but I’m curious how important it is prior to the job. What will training include at entry jobs and what is absolutely expected? | 0 |
I'm looking to become a network engineer/specialist in the future. I'm currently studying IT at university and working at a network operator in technical support. I deal with a lot of network-related tasks at work and am really interested in earning the CCNA 200-301 certification at some point. However, I'm concerned that I don't have enough time to study for the CCNA in addition to my university studies, and I'm worried that my academic performance might suffer if I try to do both. What do you think—is it worth it for me to study for the CCNA now, or should I focus on graduating from university first? | 0 |
Hi all,
I've been working at the following topology (it's a bit beyond of CCNA scope): [Topology](/LK2qvlg.png)
In this case I'm setting up the Cisco Call Manager on R0 (here's the config of R0: [R0 config](/YENbq7hG)). However, IP phones (IP Phone 0 and 1) don't get an IP from DHCP server (R0). I've configured the option 150 ip address as the VIP IP (10.0.0.161) of VLAN 40 (Voice VLAN) between Dist1 and Dist2 (HSRP is implemented) and I've issued the command "ip source-address [10.0.0.161]() port 2000" on R0. The DHCP server is reacheable at loopback 0 interface on R0 (192.168.0.28).
I know it's a quite challenging question (at least it is for me) but I'd like to ask to someone with expertise.
PCs get IP from DHCP server, therefore, it's a problem limited to Voice VLAN and IP Phones.
Thanks :)
Time to show off your skills :) | 0 |
I've seen quite a lot of people asking how long it takes to prep for the CCNA.
I've been logging the time I spent using Clockify, so I thought I'd share.
Resources:
* Jeremy's IT Lab (full playlist [here](/playlist?list=PLxbwE86jKRgMpuZuLBivzlM8s2Dk5lXBQ)) - brilliant course, although I find he speaks a little slowly I sped it to x1.5 :)
* Watched all his lectures and took extensive notes from them
* Did all his labs
* Went through all his Anki cards - there are a lot, try to keep on top of them
* Did his final Mega Lab twice
* Boson
* NetSim: Did all the labs
* ExSim: Did each lab, score 67%, 78% and 76%
* Various YouTube videos to dig into specific topics
I used Obsidian to take notes (about 400 notes). Brilliant tool I didn't know until then.
All in all, it took me 2.5 months, 270h. Eventually passed on the first attempt, with 1x70%, 2x80%, 2x87% and 1x100%.
I can't seem to be able to post a screenshot, so [here's](/Will1v/crypto_arb_finder/assets/24796480/e27c956a-d8e3-42c0-bec8-04195caa7c53) a link to the final Clockify dashboard breakdown.
I hope this is useful to people wanting to take the leap.
Edit: I forgot a pretty important caveat: I’m on a career break so I had all day to study this (although I’ve been doing CS50X in parallel). | 0 |
Hi all,
This is my topology: [/10pU19P.png](/10pU19P.png)
That's are my requirments:
Configure extended inbound ACL on SVIs 10,20,30:
1. Allow traffic for HSRPv2 (224.0.0.102) to work (UDP 1985)
2. Allow PING only for network [10.0.0.144/28](/28) to all other networks (and return traffic, obv.)
3. Allow SSH protocol only for network [10.0.0.144/28](/28) (I don't want ssh connections to other networks)
Number 3) means that I can connect in SSH only on the SVI 30 of the switches and from VLAN 30 not on the others SVI and or from another network.
I was thinking something like that for both Dist1 and Dist2 SVI:
ip access-list extended SVI-Vlan10

Today I had my first ever interview for a NOC operator position.
I am CCNA certified ( passed last month).
I had some good questions which I answered ok, some of them not so great, but two of those got me really wondering.
I think I am right, I want to understand if I have misinterpreted, your opinion would be greatly beneficial and appreciated :
Q1 : What allows servers to exchange data and services ? chose the best answer :
a: DHCP
b:HTTP/HTTPS
c: API
d: TCP/IP
my answer : TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that allow communication between networked devices and exchange information.
usually IP address, MAC address, port numbers are used to allow the exchange of information.
Apparently my answer is wrong, the right answer is API.
Ok, so let's take all the TCP/IP stack, or the OSI model away and use only APIs.
APIs connects to what and with which tools or technology? No L4PDU, L3PDU.
IP address? MAC address ? cables? port numbers? DNS, HTTP, FTP, SSH, NETCONF and so on.
Q2 : FTP port numbers : TCP 21 (control) TCP 20 (Data)
Apparently Windows uses FTP 22 ( SSH ) and differs from Linux.
I did some research and found that SFTP (Secure Shell FTP) on Windows machines is not so easy to work with out of the box, while on Linux is a more common and easier option.
What are your thoughts ? | 0 |
I have studied on/ off for the test over many years, and I feel I have a really good grasp on the core concepts. The last few months, I really buckled down, as I've been doing configuration work for the network team.
I bought Wendell ODOMs book, and ran through the CCNA anki cards that I found here. I am getting passing grades on pretests (although BARELY).
Any last minute hints or advice that might help me get through?
UPDATE:
It didn't go great. Technically they didn't say I failed yet, but I got:
Automation: 70%
Network Access: 65%
Ip connectivity: pending

I made a few mistakes where I realized right after I clicked "Next", and you can't go back.
I spent way too much time on my first lab, which came about halfway, and had to rush through most of the exam after.
UPDATE 2:
Under the 'Exam Appointment History' page on pearson, it says 'pass' but that doesn't seem likely
UPDATE 3: Ok apparently that one little line means I passed? | 0 |
Hi, I need some guidance on how to go about studying for this exam. I already have some knowledge on networking and the sort but I wouldn't say its as advanced as the hardest topics in the exam, and well a refresher on what I know is always welcome. Considering how expensive this exam I don't want to take things lightly and risk a fail. I'm wondering how I should go about this and study, right now I'm considering

and either NetworkChuck, David Bombal or Jeremy on youtube.
So as the title says is it really necessary to get a udemy course? or would youtube courses be enough to pass the exam? | 0 |

Hello folks.
I’m 39 years old have around 44k in savings. I’m burnout from my last job, doing my homework (shrink, exercise, meditation and so on) but not feeling well yet. My monthly expense is around 3-4k, little high right now with medical bills and a contract on my rent I can’t get away and child support.
Any recommendation that I can meet my monthly living expenses as much as possible and not make my situation worse? Not looking to grow my portfolio just get thought this hard time.
[edit] thanks a lot guys for all the advices. Yes, I’m lowering my expense the best I can, mom coming live with me, we’re renting her apt so that might help cut around 1k of my expenses, all service accounts getting canceled or downgraded, etc. I’m not in USA so child support laws little different (changing my income won’t change it, we already share custody).

ARCC Investors… I am looking at ARCC for a dividend income investment.
The price seems well correlated to their adjusted operating earnings. Is this the metric that most of you use for valuation?
It looks like analyst do a good job of covering the stock and Aries capital does a good job hitting the projected numbers. EPS is projected to decline -2% in 2024, -6% in 2025 and -1% in 2026. Do you feel like the stock price is likely to decline in line with the EPS over the next 2 1/2 years?
Has management set targets for their distributions?
How will they be affected by changes in interest rates?
Thanks. | 0 |
Value/dividend stocks have time periods where they outperform growth stocks for example. Over the last 100 years, dividends have contributed over 40% of the total market returns.
Even though SCHD ETF was created in 2011. They made a hypothetical back test comprised of the same stocks that are/were held in SCHD and backtested it from from 1999 - 2021, a 22 year period. Through the .Com bubble & 08-09’ recession. SCHD or “The Index returned an annualized 11.57% with reinvested dividends. Let's check out how the S&P 500 did during that same period.”
Compared to SPY Performance History
“By the looks of things, not nearly as well. SPY's annualized returns were only 7.45% with reinvested dividends, or about 4% less per year than the U.S. Dividend 100 Index or SCHD from 1999-2021”.
Source: Seeking Alpha How Would SCHD Do In A Real Stock Market Crisis? Backtesting To 1999
So yes, from 2021-2024 Spy has outpaced SCHD mainly from the main 3 tech stocks Microsoft, Apple & NVDA. However, my last post everyone kept saying VOO/SPY will outperform SCHD long term. All industries have their cycles. It all cyclical.
I like to know that during downturns I do not have to sell my shares and continue to live off the dividends SCHD will produce. This allows me to not have to sell shares in a downturn & be able to sleep like a baby knowing I have an income steam that will be growing for the rest of my life due to dividend growth as well as nice appreciation as icing on the cake.
Also, I have all growth ETFs for my 401k. But for brokerage, I am building a dividend machine with SCHD.
DRIP away friends 🤟

I'm relatively new to investing. Through Fidelity, I have both a Roth IRA and their individual account.
Does it make sense to hold the same stock in both? At the moment, I've already contributed the max $7,000 for my Roth, so now I'm looking to redirect those funds to my other account. I'm currently heavy SCHD (105 shares) and a little VOO (3 shares), but now that I've maxed out, I'm thinking of going full VOO in my individual while waiting for next year and maxing out VOO in my Roth.
Does that make sense? | 0 |
I understand the advantages with taxes but when it comes to dividend investing especially at such a young age is the risk worth it? I feel anything can happen especially from a young age to your retirement age so what if you need to extract that money or you have a change of heart? I’m pretty new so would you at-least be able to take the dividends out? In my mind i’m fine paying the taxes to be able to freely take out the money. Am I wrong? Thoughts?
EDIT: Thanks for all the responses. I am going to open one up it now seems like a no brainer. The hard part for me is choosing about which stocks to keep in taxable account like the “microsoft’s” and “apples” you guys are mentioning or the good ol etfs. If I buy a stock and it gains 1000% If i capitalize now and sell it i’ll be a millionaire, but if I have it in a tax advantage account I can’t becuase of the limits of that account. Any advice on that? | 0 |
Building a dividend focused portfolio funded by in-service pension rollovers. Expect to retire in 5 years and reinvest dividends earned during that time.
My core ETFs (largest holdings) are SCHD and DGRO. Also have O, MAIN, and BTI and a growth fund (VO).
I wonder if I should have another dividend ETF. Plan is to grow shares to build dividend income. A 3rd ETF would be for diversification. What dividend ETF would you recommend to complement DGRO and SCHD?
Don't trust covered call or synthetic derivative based ETFs. Don't like high expense ratios. | 0 |
I'm relatively new to long-term investments. I've previously traded futures, options, forex, and other markets, but now I don't have the time to sit at the computer all day for trading. I'm looking at the long-term side where I can buy and hold.
I started late in the game at 35, but I have a steady income as a retired disabled veteran. I opened an account with Fidelity, both an individual and a Roth IRA. I have 6k to start and plan to invest $350-500 a month for the rest of my life until I pass it on to my kids.
Given that, my question is: Should I invest the 6k into dividend stocks and reinvest the dividends to allow them to grow, divide it into dividend stocks, and use the dividends to buy VOO (even though a market correction might be coming with it being at an all-time high), or should I divide the 6k and buy VOO during each market dip? Thank you in advance. | 0 |
Hi everyone,
I’m looking at investing some large portion of a portfolio (40-50%) into some high yield dividend stocks.
I really like OXLC, because I’ve had it for like 5 years and it hasn’t skipped a beat with dividend payments.
My mom’s going into a care facility and this will be going to fund the monthly expenses. At a withdrawal of 5000 - 8000 per month, I do not think growth stocks or mutual funds will be very helpful, as with fluctuation in the market, but monthly withdrawal will eat away at the principal.
Any input? | 0 |
So as of today I have almost 49K in said etf $div, and as of yesterdays monthly dividend I received $232.00 which drip got me another like 13 shares and some change. I realize this isn’t that great of a monthly paying ETF but I had been investing in it long before I discovered this reddit page. My question is should I dump it all and take that money and put into something like JEPI/JEPQ or play the safer bet for quarterly dividends and go SCHD? Not sure if it matters but I’m 38 and would love to see this etf or any other monthly start to really turn and burn and give me at least 3K if not more as I DCA into whichever etf is better. I take some of my other stocks dividends and reinvest currently into $div just to keep that growing harder along with DCA’ing it. Thoughts? TIA | 0 |
This may not be the best sub to ask this in, but this group is a lot more responsive than others. I’m currently working for an aerospace company where we make complex parts with very tight tolerances. We are thinking about potentially switching over to MBD at some point but I have a few questions as to what to expect.
Our current process is drawing-based, so everything is made/approved according to the drawing. We still make 3D models for our parts, but they are only considered as a reference. If we switch to MBD, I’m not sure how our models will get approval without still having a 2D drawing.
I’m also not sure the best way to document revisions to a part in order to get approval. You would almost have to export the file into a 3D pdf for other managers to be able to easily open the file if they don’t have access to the CAD software. In addition to this, if not all dimensions are shown on the MBD annotations, how is someone supposed to see changes to a dimension that isn’t displayed?
I’m also curious how this would affect suppliers/customers. We already have customers that are implementing MBD, but we have suppliers we outsource from that more than likely won’t be able to support MBD; therefore, we would still need 2D drawings.
Also in terms of dimensioning, I understand most MBD annotations mostly contain datums, GD&T, and other crucial dimensions for machining purposes, but what would happen if a dimension is called into question that isn’t shown on the annotation? It may be more of a problem for inspection, but I’m not sure if it would be practical to have to go into the model to figure out certain dimensions of a part.
I understand MBD is supposed to make it easier to transfer semantic information from CAD to CAM and then to CMM, but I assume it’s not going to be an easy transfer.
Has anyone already experienced this changeover to MBD or have any other suggestions/thoughts about? Any information helps!
PS: I don’t think we are switching to MBD right now; it’s more of a step forward in the case it becomes a requirement from our customers. | 0 |
I bought this old mill at a very good price. It is tight and runs smoothly. The only issue is that I cannot locate a manufacturer badge on the machine. I will be lightly tearing into it to do some cleaning and adjustments but if any of you recognize it then I would be thankful.

I've got about 12 years of experience as CNC operator, 6 of that including setups, 2 including programming - but for a very niche cylindrical grinder, so I only ever did OD profiling. I've also got 5 years manual experience and some random bits of miscellaneous filler jobs.
At the same time I was programming, I was 3D modeling our parts and drafting GD&T compliant prints. But that job was 15 years ago.
During COVID I finished my Associates' degree in CAD/CAM, where I took classes in Mastercam, drafting, and CNC programming, among others. I'm good with Fusion 360 and Inventor, familiar with MasterCam, played with SolidWorks a little.
I would like to get off the shop floor. I have difficulty standing for long periods of time. At my most recent job, I was able to setup and run an Okuma Cadet because it's small enough I could do most of the work sitting on a stool. On a rough week, I'm walking with a cane by Thursday or Friday.
Do I have a shot in hell at an office job doing programming, drafting, or some combination? | 0 |
Today I learned that I’ve been setting up my grinder “by touch and feel” for like 5 years, and I’m really good at it but I wanna be like.. a grinder savant so I start reading through things and found out the grinder has a set up process that’s really precise and includes using a 22mm master rod and a feeler gauge to set the guides. I’m grinding 22.1mm od, 351-400mm length to 21.990 & then to 21.950 and it seems like I’m the only person in the building that can just set it right up but even I have problems and I realized from the documentation today that our operators should just be making dumb adjustments to get rid of spirals or “holes” (rough finish shines through in spots after finish from poor OD consistency - idk how common the terminology is since we do everything else wrong). That being said..
I guess my question is.. how do you guys set up? Not counting dress angle and what not because that never changed it’s a through feed in a continuous manufacturing environment so it’s mostly the mechanicals like guides and adjustment car angle. Somebody else in continuous through feed weighing in would be appreciated idk if the one off hand fed machines are as comparable | 0 |
Full disclose: Not a machinist. Accountant at a small small company and sometimes I have to wear a hat to pretend to be HR because we don't have HR. Machinist told me "This fucker is blowing his parts only when I walk by and he's doing it on purpose to get shit on me. Why doesn't he below it into the machine like everyone else?" I can't tell if he's being dramatic or intentionally getting fucked with. They have a history of not liking each other. Anybody provide any insight before I attempt to resolve this as a lay person. | 0 |
The only info i can find on it is from the manufacturer themselves which specify high cutting speed and low feed.
How high? How low?
The provided mill is a carbide 12mm 4 flute no coating.
I'm experiencing too much heat when milling right now which causes the foam to melt on to the mill. Also the mill gets dull quite quickly.
Right now i'm at a CS of 450
Which results in S12000, F2000. Chipload is .04 mm/flute.
My instict says lower rpm, maybe keep the feed the same or slightly higher.
Any tips are greatly appreciated. | 0 |
I've recently opened my own machine shop and most of my quotes are being turned down for being 2-2.5x higher than what the customer claims they're getting quotes for from competitors.
Orders are usually small, just 1-5 parts.
Here's how I was quoting:
$60/hr for programming.
$10-15 per set-up.
$125/hr machine time.
15% markup on tooling/material.
75$/day for overhead.
With quick lead times and free shipping. Yet I'm apparently over by up to 2.5x. What gives?
So now I'm considering lowering to $75/hr machine time but it kinda feels like a race to the bottom, with customers not valuing how much work is actually involved to machine custom-ordered, small quantity, parts | 0 |
Hi all,
I recently purchased a CNC lathe (Mazak QT8N) for hobby uses. It was dirt cheap so why not!
As time goes, I get to make more parts for others but I wish I had a simple way to quote those jobs. Here's how I do now, I'd appreciate your input on this:
1. Programming (actual time programming the part on Mazatrol) (time X $$ rate)
2. Setup (tool setup time for a batch of part) (time X $$ rate)
3. Machining (actual machining time) ( time X $$$ rate)
4. Post treatment (deburring, packaging...) (time X $)
I don't do high precision jobs( mostly +- 0.005" ).
Is this the correct way of quoting? How would you do?
Thanks! | 0 |
Yesterday I got tasked with setting up a simple job on the 3 axis mill which basically required a set of vise parallels, a hardstop and some cardboard pieces to protect the alu part from getting scratched.
I started with setting up the parallels which is a little bit of a nightmare in our shop since all of them are either thicker then 15mm or they are rusty and not even parallel. The shop simply doesnt have any normal set of parallels because all of it is scrapped material that was just put on the grinder and ground flat to a random dimension.
After dealing with that which took some time i got to preparing all the tools, measuring in all the part and tool offsets and such and i was about to finish up with the setup which took me about an hour.
As i was about to check the part in the mill with a dial indicator to confirm everything is good to go, my boss came in, started yelling at me for taking way too long, telling me how i do everything way too slow and such. He then asked me if im finally done as he ripped the dial indicator from my hands to set it up himself and check the part himself to speed up the process.
As we ran the first part i was still getting shit from him for being slow. Then i noticed a mistake in the program where they forgot to add in an deburring operation for two of the features which would end up costing us about 20-30 min of time to deburr by hand. When i mentioned that to him he was very quick to dismiss that as not important since we can just do it by hand instead.
Another thing is that the shop doesnt even pay me, the government does because im in a learning programme and not even officially hired. Im getting paid 50% of minimum wage in my country, im green as hell 21 years old trying my best and i get yelled at for taking time to make sure everything will be okay once i push the green button. I can count on one of my hands how many full setups i have done since beginning because most of my time in the sho is either button pushing or manual machines stuff.
My question is what the hell do i do?
Do i stay and try to learn as much as possible? Do i confront them about it? Am i just being a b*tch?
Should i just shrug it off?
TLDR: Got yelled at 5 months into apprenticeship for doing a simple setup slow when i just wanted to make sure everything was done right and it felt really bad. Am i over reacting? Should i just man up and move on or are they in the wrong? | 0 |
Hello!
Not a machinist but an engineer who enjoys machining and manufacturing in general.
I've seen on various videos lights-out machining for production runs of parts, very cool and super productive. I have a few 3D printers that I can leave unattended without issue, but a 3D printer would be hard pressed to significantly damage itself if something went wrong, and even if it did it would be comparitively cheap to repair. CNC machines are a whole other beast with the ability to significantly damage itself in expensive ways if crashed.
For those setting up lights-out machining, how do you make sure the machine will be able to catch if a tool breaks (whether at the beginning of its use in a cycle or at some intermediate point)? Do expensive machines have the ability to monitor the spindle and axis torques and compare to a historical dataset of parts (to monitor tool life and sudden tool breakage)? Do you very conservatively "retire" tools before they could break? How do you set this up so you don't come in one morning and find your very expensive machine (or machines) have destroyed themselves?
Mainly aiming this at facilities that don't have a night shift to run parts but set up fully automated lines that may not have a person around for several hours (or even days if that's a thing). | 0 |
Contexto: estoy en Venezuela, soy programadora, vivo con mi familia y no tengo responsabilidades. A raíz del COVID me quedé sin trabajo entonces terminé enseñando inglés online. Con eso maté temas de salud, deudas, y pude ahorrar $400.
Eso lo iba a usar para salirme de las clases y enfocarme en la programación, pero por cosas del oficio y la crisis, me dió una lesión cervical que me paró por dos meses ya. Ahora sólo me quedan $200 (tuve que reembolsar clientes).
Me he recuperado pero no he podido trabajar, necesito una silla ergonómica o una laptop ya que debo variar mi posición, pero a la vez quiero poder suplementar los apagones. Una silla buena no es tan cara, pero también puedo comprar y revivir una canaima para trabajar.
Estoy harta de no hacer nada: tengo gastos y trabajo pendiente (ya me habían pagado pero lo gasté en tratamientos). Yo nunca ahorré bajo necesidad pero era secreto y no quiero causar problemas. Qué hago? Qué compro? Qué digo? | 0 |
Dentro de poco voy a cumplir 25 años, hasta el momnto no siento que haya hecho nada significativo en mi área laboral.
Mi primer empleo fue en un call center en Venezuela a los 19 años, duré unos 6 meses, luego llegó la pandemia y todos en el call quedamos en el limbo.
Me las ingenié para trabajar remotamente con una canaimita que tenía, redactaba artículos para páginas web, a veces caían trabajos decentes, otras veces trabajo esclavo, pero fue suficiente para comprar una computadora de escritorio un poco mejor con la que seguir trabajando.
Luego pasé al Community Management, aprendí a editar fotos y videos, bastante feos en mi opinión pero sorprendentemente funcionaba.
En 2021 comencé a trabajar con un tipo austriaco, hacía varias cosas, más que nada enfocadas al marketing de instagram, hacía diferentes tareas, aprendí un poco de carros, modelos, motores y sobre todo a reconocerlos ya que era gran parte de mi labor, clasificarlos, estilo data entry. El trabajo me ayudó a pagar el pasaporte y junto con mi novia pude emigrar a Colombia, no cobraba mucho, unos 280 dólares al mes.
A los 2 o 3 meses de estar en Colombia caí en una profunda depresión (o tal vez la que arrastraba se intensificó), me diagnosticaron. Los medicamentos funcionaron, aún así sentía mucho desdén por la vida y por hacer cualquier cosa.
Dejé mi trabajo, comencé a fumar vapes de THC como una forma de evadir mi realidad, lo que exhacerbó mi depresión.
Hace poco menos de 1 año no fumo nada, estoy tratando de darle significado a mi vida y ponerle rumbo de nuevo, la cosa es que estoy por cumplir 25 años y no tengo una carrera formal, no sé cómo encontrar otro trabajo remoto en el mercado actual y estoy bastante perdido respecto a qué estudiar o dedicarme para trabajar.
He pensado en capacitarme como Project Manager, mi esposa lo hace para una compañía y le va relativamente bien sin título universitario.
Pero no estoy seguro de si sea un mercado muy saturado a estas alturas.
También sé como montar páginas web con WordPress y manejar hosting, dominio, etc. y se me ocurre reforzar mis conocimientos por allí pero me da la impresión de ese sector está mucho más saturado por las IA y gente de la india haciendo websites por 20 dólares.
Otro camino que me llama mucho la atención es la ciberseguridad pero siento que tengo que invertir demasiado tiempo que siento que no tengo, me siento viejo y tal vez cuando me capacite en 3 o 5 años nadie va querer a un viejo de 30 primerizo en ciberseguridad.
El punto es que me como mucho la cabeza pensando qué hacer para el futuro y pensando en las cosas negativas nunca termino de tomar una decisión.
¿Qué harían ustedes?
P:D: He pensado en trabajos presenciales pero en esa área estoy bastante limitado, soy ciego de un ojo y tengo problemas neuromusculares de nacimiento que me hacen cojear y tener un mal pulso así que para no pasar pena descarto empleos comunes como mesonero, chofer u oficios manuales. (Si se les ocurre algo, sugiéranlo pls).
Esto último no lo digo para generar lástima, sino para clarificar que tengo limitaciones en lo que puedo escoger.
P:D 2: Qué pena escribir esta vaina pero me hacía falta desahogarme. | 0 |
Buenas tardes gente del Reddit, estamos en empoca de fin de clases, ya hay gente graduada de bachiller por ahi buscando universidades o instituos en los que inscribirse, y este post va dirigido o bien a gente que este buscando opiniones sobre institutos, recien graduados o familiares de recien graduados, para hablarles desde mi experiencia y que piensen antes de inscribirse en el IUTA.
Para dar contexto, estudio en el IUTA la carrera de Informática, no dire sede ni semestre por obvias razones, pero lo que si dire es que desde el principio, una vez ya inscrito, el primer dia de clases, empezaron las amenazas, que si la matricula era poca, si eramos pocos estudiantes, nos podrian mandar a otra sede o en su defecto a clases virtuales (esto a pesar de que al momento de inscribirte tu te inscribes en la sede y modalidad que tu prefieres, asi como dicen sus tantos anuncios en diferentes redes sociales, radios, panfletos, etc) entonces nos dijeron que debiamos convencer a nuestros compañeros para que no dejen la carrera (como si nosotros tubieramos poder sobre eso, cada quien tiene diferentes situaciones de vida que uno no puede controlar).
En fin, hace un tiempo nos paso que la matricula fue baja, ya quedabamos muy pocos cursando la carrera entonces el dia de inicio de clases nos encontramos con la sorpresa de que habiamos sido cambiados de sede, asi nanda mas, de forma completamente arbitraria y sin siquiera informarnos. Si uno se inscribe en una sede se supone que es porque le queda cerca, o simplemente le gusta mas, no importa, el caso es que se esta pagando por un servicio especifico y ellos te obligan a recibir otro por conveniencia de ellos. Ahora bien, nosotros introducimos una exposición de motivos (algo que si te vas a inscribir en el IUTA mejor que ya tengas preparado desde dia uno, ya que la necesitaras mas de una vez), luego de introducirla nos dieron la respuesta de que nos dejarian en la sede... Pero con la mitad de la matricula en linea (todo esto paso en el transcurso de una semana, lo cual nos retraso una semana de clases y nos peso gravemente en la entrega de actividades).
Les contare resumidamente lo que es cursar una materia online en el IUTA:
Usan moodle, una plataforma que muchos recordaran con odio del tiempo de la pandemia. Lo que ellos hacen es copiar información gratuita de google y pegarla en moodle, ademas añaden videos de youtube como "refuerzo" del "conocimiento" muchas veces las clases no tienen nada que ver con las actividades, por ejemplo en programación el primer bloque nos hablaba sobre el interprete y tipos de variables, nada mas, pero la primera prueba eran operaciones con listas, ciclos condicionales, y otras cosas que no fueron explicadas en ningun momento en el bloque, se tubo que buscar casi todo por internet... Les quiero recordar esto, esta gente cobra 100$ al mes, mas 95$ de inscripción, para meterte en una página incipida, llena de información escupida al azar, información que no revisan, que no es hecha por ellos, informacion que esta gratis en internet, sin proporcionarte ayuda real ya que los "tutores" responden cuando se les da la gana y tampoco son de gran ayuda. Ademas de esto te mandan un monton de actividades y en nuestro caso nos dieron 3 semanas para hacerlas.
Ahora les hablare sobre el trato al estudiante:
Primeramente las cuotas, la universidad toma decisiones muy arbitrarias como ya les dije en la parte anterior, en el caso de nosotros cuando nos quejamos por las clases online nos dijeron que lo que sucedia era que "la situación economica del pais" asies, básicamente nos dijeron que la situación economica del pais les afectaba, y me imagino que solo a ellos, porque a nosotros como estudiantes nos aumentan la cuota mensual todos los semestres, y de paso en este la subieron a 95 y luego a medio semestre agregaron 5$+, la gente se quejo ya que la universidad se encuentra en pesimas condiciones, muchos aires funcionan a medias, seguramente no aguanten al año que viene, el laboratorio de informatica bue' ni les hablo, las maquinas estan llenas de virus, son nuy lentas (ha pesar de que hay varias con buenas especificaciones, pero al no haber tecnico de laboratorio estas se han llenado de virus por gente que descarga cosas o simplemente porque muchos profesores no saben como tratarlas) las maquinas no estan nisiquiera adaptadas para dar clases, hace poco actualizaron la matricula de informatica y empezaron clases sin siquiera tener las maquinas con los programas necesarios instalados para poder dar clases de la nueva matricula, o por ejemplo, en la materia de base de datos dan SQL, pero el mismo no esta instalado en ninguna maquina, en su lugar te explican Access!! Ademas de que hace meses que nos prometieron que estaban habilitando un nuevo laboratorio pero al parecer las "maquinas" no han llegado... Llevan 3 meses desde que nos dijeron eso.
Otra cosa, como les dije antes uno debe ser comprensibos con ellos pq la situación económica del pais, pero si usted señor o señora estudiante llega a retrasarse un solo dia con la cuota, de la puerta no va a pasar, tienes un examen muy importante? No importa, de la puerta no pasas!!! Y si de casualidad usted ya pagó pero se le quedo su factura en la casa... DE LA PUERTA NO PASA! Asi el de seguridad ya haya visto tu factura 40 veces esta semana, igual no pasas, hasta que abra caja a las 8:30 para buscarte en sistema a ver si es verdad que tu pagaste, ah? Como? Tienes clases a las 7:30? Nos sabe a mierda. Les explicare las siglas de IUTA "Instituto Universitario de Tecnología de Administración" tecnologia de administración... Y no tienen ningun sistema automátizado para comprobar si estas vigente... Bueno, de paso el semstre pasado estaban obligando a sacarte carnet de estudiante, que se supone que era la solucion a este problema, pero no sirve de nada y solo te sacaron 10$ mas del bolsillo al pedo.
Ademas, si no estas vigente en la cuota te van a tratar mal, pero mal mal, te van a ver feo, te van a hablar como si fueras un ladron que quiere ver clases gratis, en general el trato cuando estas vigente a comparación de cuando no has pagado es bastante diferente.
Otra cosa, si usted es mujer y desea ir al IUTA mas le vale vestirse como evangelica, porque si usted lleva un jean roto no la dejaran pasar, si usted lleva una blusa un poco corta, pero enserio, solo un poquito, no estoy hablando de que se te vea el obligo, no, con que se vea una rallita de piel (no exagero, lo he visto) no te dejarán pasar, si usted lleva una camisa que muestre mucho su hombro no la dejaran pasar.
Anteriormente usted podia disponer del laboratorio de informatica si necesitaba investigar algo, o hacer algun trabajo, actualmente si quiere usar el laboratorio debe esperar que haya algun profesor en el mismo, ya que corrieron al encargado del laboratorio hace como un año para ahorrase ese sueldo, el resultado? Maquinas dañadas, llenas de virus y el estudiante ya no puede disponer de este cuando quiera.
IUTA "Excelencia Academica"
Hablemos un poco del lema, esta institución de hecho premia a la excelencia academica, si usted saca buenas notas te dan cada semestre un reconocimiento por tener el promedio alto... Ellos te dan ese papel mas sin embargo no colaboran en nada para que usted siga teniendo excelencia academica, al contrario, solo le dificultan mas al estudiante el aprender. Pero saben que? No hay dinero para pagarles a los profesores, o para mejorar la calidad de las instalaciones, pero si hay dinero para pagar fotografos y hacer los shows esos que montan el Instagram para dar la imagen de universidad que se preocupa por el estudiante.
Hay varios profesores que honestamente no estan capacitados para dan las materias que dan, no te saben responder a tus dudas, no saben de las materias que estan hablando, nada.
Pasa muchas veces que la gente se queja de las actitudes de esta universidad comentandoles en sus publicaciones en Instagram, y esta universidad lejos de ver las criticas e intentar mejorar lo que hacen es bloquear comentarios y a las cuentas que comentan.
A esta universidad no le importa brindar calidad de educación, no les interesa la excelencia academica esa de la que tanto se jactan, no, ellos solo quieren tu dinero, no les importa si el servicio que te dan a cambio es malo, el IUTA es todo lo que esta mal con las universidades de Venezuela, como dijo Simon Bolivar “Las naciones marchan hacia el término de su grandeza con el mismo paso con que camina la educación” si no contamos con profesionales capacitados, si la nueva generación de profesionales solo seran un monton de mediocres que básicamente pagaron por un titulo (y no es culpa de ellos) entonces no se que futuro le depara a nuestro pais. En fin, si no quieren botar su dinero, entonces no se inscriba en el IUTA | 0 |
Lo del título. Estoy browseando tinder y veo muchas mujeres venezolanas bellísimas, pero se empeñan en tatuarse las cejas que terminan pareciendo los muñecos de los muppets. Soy solo yo o esa vaina se ve feisima?
No me mal entiendan, cada quien hace con su vida lo que quiere, pero vamos a estar claros, las modas cambian con el tiempo. Usarían un pantalón de campana por el resto de sus días solo porque alguna vez fue "cool"?
No sé, a lo mejor son vainas mías, pero realmente, no me cuadra. Opiniones? | 0 |
Primero que nada gracias a los que se tomen la molestia de comentar y compartir sus conocimientos.
Para entrar en contexto, tengo una hermana que está especializada en idiomas, conoce de traducción e interpretación en inglés, francés, portugués y español; quisiera apoyarla si pudiese trabajar en remoto dado lo difícil que es conseguir un trabajo hoy en día en embajadas, aerolíneas, etc.
Conocen alguna plataforma de traducción que pague relativamente decente y confiable?; donde traducen libros, noticias, novelas, cosas de interés, etc?; Les agradezco a todos los que puedan compartir conmigo sus experiencias y sugerencias de antemano. Saludos. | 0 |
hola!, casi nunca escribo en este grupo y la ultima vez fue cuando les enseñe un dibujo de un robot venezolano, pero estoy teniendo muchos problemas con mi laptop actual, esta a punto de dañarse porque es una laptop de oficina y los programas de dibujo como clip studio, pure ref, y otras cosas lo estan matando lentamente debido que le estan exigiendo mas energia de lo normal
he estado ahorrando dinero para comprarme una laptop nueva, me puse a investigar y necesito una laptop de diseñador grafico, o cualquier laptop que tenga una ram minimo de 8 gb de ram, y un procesador intel core i7 para que funcionen los programas de dibujo (la actual tiene 4 gb de ram y el procesador esta por debajo de intel core i4)
pero he ido a algunos lugares donde venden laptops, y los precios son excesivos para lo que realmente es el equipo, la ultima vez vi una de 400 dolares, con un procesador intel core i5 y una ram de 4 gb y las que tenian el requisito que necesito estaban entre 700 dolares
todo lo que he ahorrado es tan solo 250 dolares, y el unico lugar donde venden una laptop con todos los requisitos que necesito esta a 270 dolares pero esta en otro estado y tendria que no solo gastar pasaje para el viaje, si no quedarme en un hotel ya que vivo muy lejos
si conocen de tiendas de laptops que sean economicas y tengan los requisitos que necesito estaria muy agradecida, no importa si son refurbished
con las ilustraciones puedo mantener a mi familia y lo menos que quiero es que de sorpresa se dañe el equipo | 0 |
Estoy terminando de leer un libro muy interesante que explica por qué la mayoría de los países que basan su economía en la extracción de minerales, especialmente el petróleo, terminan subdesarrollados, a pesar de tener los recursos necesarios para prosperar.
El libro, disponible [aquí](/Paradox-Plenty-Petro-States-International-Political/dp/0520207726?crid=2HEETV0DGELGC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.GeLnl4nYCgPmrI_bmI4uLPgGOhRQbJvmXR-BwU_s4rlC1Co2I-ek4cK8Zzu5_XrsfxqpL4aCV3nqIrCO1-Jq67JptYrMasyGwt_9G8hM5qOuxR1Qu-2RKjr6Z9Dea02ZLKyGnA5eGDaL5O3sX1LJ5mpFh0nmaj3LyZz2XYmMnCABFXr2x7BuA4UlmdKeMjPqT7BCLqic32Mf7agYVZk7CPmOLEZBuAhoIDVgpkCGYzI.jRYdeInca9portkElU2-iAxHUYpGxpqEFua9RwjS2sQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+paradox+of+plenty&qid=1720879169&sprefix=the+paradox+of+plenty,aps,253&sr=8-5), fue escrito por una autora norteamericana que estudió la historia económica de varios países, especialmente Venezuela. En su investigación, buscó entender este fenómeno y terminó escribiendo un excelente recuento de la historia de Venezuela desde los tiempos de Gómez hasta mediados de los 90s, centrándose en las decisiones y estructuras políticas influenciadas por el petróleo, que llevaron al declive del país.
La autora vivió varios años en Venezuela y, para el libro, tuvo que recolectar datos económicos, que eran escasos, y realizar más de 50 entrevistas con miembros clave del estado venezolano, incluyendo a 4 ex-presidentes. Estas entrevistas se hicieron bajo pactos de confidencialidad.
Aquí una anécdota de la autora describiendo sus dificultades para conseguir datos:
>Finalmente, un indicador del petroestado es el desorden institucional. El caos administrativo en Venezuela a finales de los años 70 y principios de los 80 era a menudo tan grande que era difícil encontrar respuestas a preguntas relativamente simples. Por ejemplo, después de la nacionalización del petróleo, traté de descubrir qué ministerio tenía la responsabilidad oficial de la recién formada empresa petrolera, Petróleos de Venezuela (PETROVEN), la empresa estatal más importante de Venezuela. Tres ministerios diferentes—Planificación, Minas e Hidrocarburos, y la Secretaría de la Presidencia— reclamaban este papel. Sin embargo, PETROVEN insistía en que era autónoma y que presentaba sus cuentas solo al presidente de la República. Finalmente, el departamento legal de una de las compañías petroleras extranjeras, respondiendo a mis súplicas de aclaración, descubrió que el Ministerio de Hidrocarburos y Minas tenía la responsabilidad formal de supervisión, aunque en la práctica PETROVEN presentaba sus informes a la Secretaría de la Presidencia (probablemente porque estaba encabezada por el ministro favorito del presidente). Varias semanas después, recibí una llamada del Ministerio de Planificación, preguntándome si había descubierto a dónde presentaba PETROVEN sus cuentas. "Necesitamos saber," me dijeron, "y parece que no podemos averiguarlo."
**Hago este post porque creo que es importante que más gente conozca este libro. Además, creo que sería valioso contactar a la autora, que ahora tiene más de 70 años, para aprender más sobre sus experiencias y entrevistas en Venezuela.**
Si alguien tiene un contacto o la posibilidad de hacer esto posible y está interesado, por favor háganlo saber.
Gracias y saludos.

Hola hoy quiero hacer una duda a los comerciantes experimentados de este grupo.
Cómo le ponen precio a sus productos?
Contexto hice un mini curso donde me enseñaron a poner el precio con técnica de markdown.
Costo / (1-utilidad) recomendando que la utilidad fuera 60%, para que si debías rematar tu producto en ofertas de 50%, no quebrases tu negocio.
Ejemplo 30 / (1-0.60) = precio de venta al público de $ 75, que si lo debes vender a 50% sería a $37.5 y no quiebras.
Claro aquí la ganancia de ese 60% de utilidad explican que es para pagar local, empleados lo que tiene sentido
Mi duda aquí es, si no tienen local ni empleados... que utilidad usarian?? Intenté sacar precios con este 60% pero me parece que el precio final es altisimo. Y claro yo feliz de ganarme eso, pero quisiera saber si empezando hay algo más razonable que no espante tanto a la gente ya que no estaría brindado una experiencia de un local Comercial, por ejemplo.
Quedo atenta ya que jamás he vendido nada, y quisiera primero escuchar perspectivas de profesionales que se tomen en serio su profesión y no hayan quebrado su negocio de comercio y sean buenos con sus números. Estoy segura de que si su negocio ha sobrevivido en este país es porque son tremendos duros y saben lo que hacen. | 0 |
Hola, sub. Qué tal? Vine en busca de recomendaciones de contenido.
Estoy pasando por una ruptura amorosa y necesito distraer la mente con algo. El problema es que muchas de las cosas que disfruto hacer me recuerdan a esa persona, me gustaría llenar todo el tiempo que pueda con algo para que mi mente no se sature de recuerdos.
Puede ser contenido en internet, podcasts, o alguna serie o libros, lo que sea, quizá no videojuegos, no tengo computadora, a menos que sea para móvil.
Además, acepto cualquier tip para superar una ruptura y no morir en el intento | 0 |
“Sellner gilt als einer der führenden Köpfe der rechtsextremen Identitären Bewegung in Österreich. Er war zu Gast bei einer Vortragsveranstaltung des früheren AfD-Politikers Andreas Wild in dessen Büro in Lichterfelde Ost.
Sellner hatte im November bei einem Treffen in Potsdam über Pläne zur Ausweisung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund gesprochen. Daran haben auch Politiker von AfD, CDU und der Werteeunion teilgenommen. Das hatte bundesweit Proteste gegen Rechtsextremismus ausgelöst. Die Brandenburger Landeshauptstadt hatte daraufhin im März ein bundesweites Einreiseverbot gegen Sellner erlassen. Dagegen hat dieser im Eilverfahren erfolgreich Widerspruch eingelegt. Im Hauptverfahren gibt es noch keine Entscheidung.” | 0 |
Hey everyone!
I’ve been spending a lot of time around Krumme Lanke and noticed something intriguing. There's a specific area where I often see people meditating, and I've also come across what seem to be animal graves.
/alsoufj0racd1.png?width=1942&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a857b24e9a0ca0ae306830fff073bb036c02ef8
I've marked the area on a map (attached above) for reference. It's near the Waldspielplatz.
Does anyone know more about this spot? Is it a popular meditation area or a place for memorializing pets? I'd love to hear your thoughts or any stories you might have about this part of Krumme Lanke!
Thanks in advance! | 0 |
In the summer months, I ride my bike a lot. What should be a mode of transport that gets you most places quickly, is ruined by the lack of coordinated lights. You can generally only go two lights before you hit a red again. One is not unheard of at all. At least on my bike, I'm spewing no pollution but when cars have the same issue, we all suffer from their pollution. I think that many bikes ignore red lights because of this issue and are tired of the start/stop.
A few years ago I saw a video from Utrecht where the city had put in technology that monitored intersections for trams, cars, bikes and pedestrians, and optimized continuously to keep things moving. In Berlin, it seems that most lights just work on timers and they aren't coordinated with each other and whatever their original setting, that's pretty much it unless the situation deteriorates dramatically.
So my question is, does Berlin have any sort of ongoing program to address this? I've seen zero evidence of anything but perhaps there are efforts underway in parts of the city I don't travel in. | 0 |
Hi all -
I thought I would post this here as there have been NO announcement boards on this at my local S-Bahn station (S Bhf Bellevue). Apparently, there won't be any regular S-Bahn service on the Stadtbahn between Alexanderplatz/Friedrichstraße and Tiergarten/Zoo for two months, starting 17th of July.
See here: [/news/bauarbeiten-im-berliner-s-bahnnetz-waehrend-der-sommerferien/](/news/bauarbeiten-im-berliner-s-bahnnetz-waehrend-der-sommerferien/)
There will be a bus replacement service though as well as a 20 minute one-way service for some of the affected track for some weeks.
I thought maybe it helps those of you who, like me, haven't seen any official announcement on this and would have run into it headlong. :)

Hi everyone,
I had a very distressing encounter with a ticket inspector yesterday (July 11, 2024) around 6 PM on the U8 towards Wittenau and I’m seeking some advice on how to proceed.
My friend and I boarded the U8 at Rosenthaler Platz. One stop later, at Bernauer Straße, ticket inspectors boarded and asked us to show our tickets. I showed mine immediately, while my friend had to wait for her app to load her ticket, which took a few seconds.
The inspector immediately became impatient and demanded that we get off at Bernauer Straße. After about 15 seconds, my friend was able to show her valid ticket as the app had finally loaded. Nevertheless, the inspector loudly and aggressively claimed that she had violated the passenger regulations because tickets must be shown within two stops.
I argued that we had shown our tickets, but the inspector became even more aggressive, demanding our IDs despite us both having valid tickets. We complied, but as I tried to re-enter the train to go home, the inspector blocked the door, yelled at me, and threatened us with fines and a ban from the service. He even threatened to physically remove me from the train if I didn’t get off.
I felt extremely threatened by his behavior. When I tried to explain that his aggression was unnecessary, he threatened to pull the emergency brake. I was in shock and couldn’t believe his unprofessional and intimidating conduct. Eventually, I was forced to get off the train. The inspector continued yelling and threatening us, making me feel so intimidated that I ran away in fear.
Such aggressive behavior is completely unacceptable for someone in his position. He even instructed other passengers to hold me down, and one of them actually grabbed me. Fortunately, I managed to break free and ran away in panic.
The inspector was a man, about 1,75m, with dark hair and a beard, and of significantly larger build. This description should help identify the individual involved.
I have already sent an official complaint to the BVG, requesting the name of the inspector. My friend is also preparing a statement about her perspective on the incident. The inspector’s behavior was not only unprofessional but also threatening and unwarranted. It seemed like he was trying to meet some sort of quota, which does not justify threatening physical consequences.
I also talked to the police, and they told me this is a known issue with the BVG because inspectors receive bonuses when they fulfill a quota. This often leads them to try to make people pay even though they have valid tickets.
I have refrained from filing a police report so far but am demanding a thorough investigation to protect other passengers from such abuse of power.
What do you suggest I do next? Has anyone experienced something similar or can offer advice on ensuring this matter is taken seriously?
Thanks in advance for your help!
**Edit: I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has had similar experiences and would be interested in joining a collective complaint or report. Here’s what we can do together**:
1. **Gather Information**: If you've faced similar issues, please share your story. We need as many accounts as possible to show that this is a recurring problem.
2. **Document Evidence**: Gather any evidence you have, such as photos, witness statements, or any communication with the BVG or police.
3. **Submit the Complaint/Report**: We will submit a well-documented, collective complaint to the BVG and, if necessary, a joint report to the police.
If you're interested in joining forces, please comment below or send me a direct message. Together, we can hopefully bring about a change to prevent this from happening to others. | 0 |
I need your help in tracking down someone who I had an incredibly profound, life-altering, and deeply meaningful non-conversation with on the U-Bahn. Yes, that's right, I’m searching for my soulmate based on zero verbal interaction and a fleeting glance. Because who needs words when you have the mystical powers of silent eye contact, right?
Let me paint you a picture: It was a Monday morning, the most magical time of the week, and I was on the U8, heading towards Hermannplatz. You know, the train that smells like a mix of despair and questionable life choices? As I squeezed myself into the sardine can of humanity, I noticed this person. Let's call them the Love of My Life (LOML for short).
LOML was standing by the door, reading a book. Yes, a real, actual book. In the age of smartphones, this was obviously a sign that we were meant to be. I mean, who reads books anymore? I tried to read the cover, but all I could make out was some pretentious title in German. Classic.
Now, let's get into the juicy details that surely make LOML unforgettable. They were wearing a grey coat and had a scarf—because, Berlin. Their hair was... well, it was hair. And their shoes? Absolutely standard. Probably two of them. I think.
So there we were, sharing the same oxygen and the same indifference towards the world. I knew I had to make a move, but what did I do instead? I stared intensely at my phone, scrolling through memes, because what better way to impress someone than by demonstrating your superior meme knowledge? Our eyes met for a microsecond, and I swear, in that fleeting moment, we shared an entire romantic comedy. You know, the kind where nothing actually happens but everyone feels good about it.
I thought about striking up a conversation. Maybe something suave like, "Hey, nice book," or the classic, "Do you come here often?" (because everyone loves train pickup lines). But no, I decided that the best course of action was to let this moment pass like a silent fart in the wind. Genius, I know.
As LOML got off at Alexanderplatz, I remained frozen, paralyzed by my own social awkwardness and the weight of unspoken words. I watched them disappear into the crowd, taking my heart and my last shred of dignity with them.
So, Berlin, I need your help. If you know someone who matches this incredibly vague description and who happened to be on the U8 on Monday morning, please tell them that the person who didn’t talk to them, didn’t get their number, and didn’t even smile at them is desperately looking for them.
Help me make this dream a reality, because nothing says "true love" like not actually meeting someone and then asking the internet to find them for you.
EDIT: Mods asked me to add this (in case it wasn't obvious already): "This is a fictional post, i am not actually searching for someone" | 0 |
Guten tag,
My partner and I are visiting Berlin for a few months and I’m looking to find a very easy bike ride that we can do together. She’s not very comfortable on a bike although she can ride one, but needs more time on a bike.
Thing is, she’s almost paralyzingly anxious when it comes to any interaction with cars/traffic on a bike so it’s hard to get her comfortable on a bike when every route has some level of riding next to cars on a road.
So my question is: is there a route that’s fairly easy, little to no roads shared with cars, and has a bike rental nearby?
Thanks in advance! | 0 |
Hi,
Ich habe heute einen Beschwerdetext bei der BVG eingereicht, weil ich zu Unrecht ein Bußgeld erhalten habe.
Ich zeigte der Fahrscheinkontrolleurin mein Semesterticket, das sie mir direkt aus der Hand riss. Sie verlangte zusätzlich das Deutschlandticket, was ich bisher nie vorzeigen musste. Da mir das nicht klar war, suchte ich online danach, während sie schon meine Personalien eintrug. Trotz Vorzeigen des Deutschlandtickets konnte sie den Eintrag nicht mehr stornieren.
Hat vlt jemand ähnliches erlebt? | 0 |
excluding things like rent and utilities. so what I mean is things like groceries including household products, personal/hygienic products, cleaning products, eating out/take-out, drinking...
I feel like as much as I try to be frugal and only shop at discount stores like penny, Aldi and Lidl, my monthly costs are around 300 euro/month. I'm a single person and vegan and since I'm new to Berlin I get tempted to buy the awesome vegan stuff you guys have here but only the stuff that goes on sale.
so how much do you guys spend on food/drinks and essentials each month per person? | 0 |
Heey,
Ich bin schon seit so 1,5 Jahren auf Wohnungssuche in Berlin.
Dabei fiel mir auf, dass ich durchweg von 100-200 Bewerbungen bei der Degewo nur absagen bekommen habe.
Meine Frage ist, ist das bei denen "Normal" bei allen anderen städtischen Wohnungsbaugesellschaften habe ich Recht regelmäßig Besichtigungen.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand sagen, ob die bei ihren Auswahl verfahren nochmal andere Kriterien haben? Oder das wirklich nur Pech/Zufall ist, dass das immer nur bei denen nicht funktioniert.
P.S. Hab mich natürlich auch bei Wohnungen in Randlage etc. beworben und mir ist die Berliner Wohnungssituation durchaus bewusst, will bloß wissen ob ich wirklich bei denen was elementar falsch mache oder was übersehe. | 0 |
I’m a Florida transplant who’s been in Vegas since 2016 and some of the things I saw on the roads today made me feel like this has to be said.
1) Driving twice as fast DOES NOT = more traction. Seriously slow tf down. I’m talking to you lifted pickup truck and SUV owners.
2) In relation to number 1, take extra time right when the rain starts. It’s brings up all the oils and makes the roads even more slick
3) Turn your headlights on if the rain is real intense. I know it’s not the law like it is in FL but seriously, this helps your visibility for the other drivers.
4) And this applies to the people who bought a 2008 Nissan Altima from a BHPH dealer on Boulder Highway and are paying 29.99% interest. GET RID OF THOSE BALD, STEEL BELT VISIBLE TIRES! If you can’t afford new ones I get it I’ve been there too, but there’s plenty of places to get good used tires for cheap. But for now you’re literally an accident waiting to happen.
5) And once again this circles back to number one. Leave a bit earlier to give yourself some extra time. Even more so if there’s an accident on your route (which there probably will be)

Hello,
I am renting a property in North Las Vegas and I can't get solar people to leave me alone. I tried even disabling my ring doorbell and normal doorbell but they just beat on my door for a few minutes and then leave. The no solicitation and no trespassing signs don't waver them.
I have a large (friendly) dog inside that barks like an angry seal that doesn't even phase them. I work nights so I sleep during the day and, strangely, have a car on my premise until I leave.
I don't want to go legal but I just want some sleep. It's hard to see their uniforms and some just have plain clothing and tablets hanging from their hip so I assume it's the same or similar folks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Stay cool | 0 |
i’m unfortunately being evicted on Wednesday and i have nowhere for my dog to go. it’s insanely hot, and it’s not right for me to have him in the car with me in my broken down car all day and all night long until
i’m able to get back on my feet. i have no family out here, and every single shelter i’ve tried is either full, or won’t accept him due to his medical condition (seizures). i’m very heartbroken and devastated to be making this post, idk what else do to.
he’s a very sweet dog, he’s friendly with everyone including other dogs. he loves to play. he’s only 1.5 years old and won’t get any bigger than what he is now. he’s some type of mixed breed pup. he deserves a good home. please help or point me into the right direction. | 0 |
We had to have our entire house hvac cooling system replaced, it was 18 years old and the compressor was failing and the whole unit was a seer 7 in 2006, our house was BUILT in 2008....
Well it was using nearly 20 dollars a day to keep the house in the 80s. Not cool, literally.
We had a company come out and do an estimate, estimate got approved, company came back today to do the install. Took hours and was a ton of work and I appreciate them and I know it was hot as fuck up in the attic.
BUT.
It was hotter than Sasha Gray in my house the whole time. 94°. They finally get the outside unit replaced, the handler thing in the attic, and do the rest of their work, and left. I didn't see any gauges. Nobody walked around with a temp gun making sure it was actually cooling.
It's been 7 hours since they finished. The house is 79 and will not for its life cool off anymore. The unit outside has been running non stop. The lines on it are 96 in, 56 out. Which is good. But the vents in the house are now all over the place, one is blowing 49, one is 56, another is 77, other is 65.
The old unit was a gigantic Lennox unit, this new one is a weird generic carrier brand and the unit is literally no joke HALF THE SIZE of the old unit. This new one is allegedly a 4 ton unit on a 1700sqft house single story. And apparently a seer 15 unit.
When they came out to diag initially nobody did a manual j, nobody did thermal load calculations, pads.
So now here we are, 7 hours later and it's STILL running and I'm just waiting for my NV energy bill to have a fucking comma in it at this rate.
So.
Am I overreacting? Did the whole house thermal load so badly the unit is just struggling to work? Did they overkill the tonnage?
Is it gonna take more time?
Again. Our last unit was old enough to drink, but it DID work and cooled great but it sucked down the kW like a crackhead hitting his fix. No joke, $19 to keep it 82°. | 0 |
I know this might be far fetched, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to try lol. Looking for cute white guy who was on the 206 bus.
We were standing next to each other today, at the same bus stop on Charleston and Decatur. You’re white, cute asf, tatted, with a pink vape aha. We made eye contact a few times and I wanted to say something to you but I’m just too much of a coward. I’m the black girl who wouldn’t stop staring lol. I hope we see each other again soon.
Oh and btw, you look so good with that ponytail | 0 |
I am looking to begin running at least 5 days a week to slowly work up to achieving a sub-9 minute 1.5 mile time.
I wanted to check in with any runners in this sub: how do you maintain your running all year long in Vegas, particularly during the summer?
A part of me is thinking about beginning my training in late August or September, but then I feel like every year, for 4 months, it becomes dangerously hot to keep running outdoors.
Are you all waking up before 5 AM to do runs? Are you stuck on a treadmill for 2-3 hours every day during the summer?
Ideally, I prefer running outdoors because it's less boring, and I find a treadmill doesn't accurately inform me of my actual distance run, harder to do interval/strides, etc.

WHERE ARE YALL GOING AND WHY DO YOU NEED TO ARRIVE 30 SECONDS EARLY?? Like I’m getting passed on Sahara while I’m doing 50 bro. I don’t know why yall speed here anyway these lights take fucking forever.i can promise you we’ll be at the same location at the same time. All yall are doing is wasting gas and wearing down your breaks faster. Is patience just suddenly gone nowadays? Why is everyone just in such a rush? Enjoy the ride, I’d rather be going the speed limit then waiting at a red light for an extra 30 seconds 🤷🏽♂️ | 0 |
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. I'm writing to express how disappointed I am. I've been without a job for over 9 months, and it's not easy for me. I've applied to almost every place where I live. Right now, I don't have a vehicle to commute, so I'm looking for jobs around my area, with zip codes 89118 or 89103, or close to them.
It has been a very tough time for me to find a job here. I've applied to almost every company, including Home Depot, Petco, and others. I even showed up in person, but the managers keep telling me that I have to apply online and that they can't do anything else. I don't get why I am so unfortunate.This makes me depressed.
I've tried all sorts of things, but what more can I do? | 0 |
It's my son's birthday this Monday. We're local and wanted too take him to a great Italian restaurant. Checked Giada at the Cromwell because we've been there a few times before and he likes it. Went online, checked for a reservation slot and all that was available is the Strip View Dining experience for $25 per person. No standard dining available, for Monday afternoon, at 4:30 PM... This makes me sad.. You're telling me that they have no regular tables available at 4:30Pm on a Monday?
I'm so tired of what's happening here in Las Vegas (and I guess everywhere else).. Why would I pay $75 extra so I can see the strip? Ill try to call them but already dont want to go anymore to this place... Does anyone experienced this with restaurants on the strip? | 0 |
Just a heads up the Saturday forecast is saying:
>A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 112. Light and variable wind becoming south southwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
Also up to 30% chance later today (Friday) and Sunday. So get ready for flooded streets, people driving more stupid than normal, and redneck rafting... [/yH3YdM1CFkPJsFjf6](/yH3YdM1CFkPJsFjf6) | 0 |
I'm thoroughly sick of owning a car and I'm thinking of getting an e-bike instead. Obviously there are a lot of factors to consider, but the first issue is that I live about 17 miles/30 km from town, and about 2000 ft/600 m higher in elevation. Are there cargo e-bikes that can handle that kind of climb and distance with, say, a 230 lb/100 kg load (cyclist, bag of chicken feed, some groceries)? With some pedal assist but not throttle only. Is that a thing? If so, is there a combination of motor and battery specs that would tell me if a bike is capable of it? | 0 |
I have spent a while searching for different road safety stuff for my anticipated e-bike.
I think I've found an automatic brake light with a horn that will be good, but I'm looking for blinkers now.
Before you comment "check Amazon" I already have, but my concern is that they're all just going to look like a regular blinking light on a bike. I'm looking for a blinker that is so obvious and obnoxious the cars almost want to hit me bc of it, I want it to be so obvious that it's a turn signal that they want to turn the opposite direction to get away from me. Ideally I would like to not have to do wiring, but I can't get too picky.
TLDR: I want blinkers that are obviously blinkers and so obvious people would want to run me over bc of it | 0 |
Got my Aventon Level 2 not too long ago and have been addicted to riding it and adding to it. Absolutely love this bike!
So far i’ve changed a few things
Cloud 9 seat
Suntour Suspension Seatpost
Changed the rack to an Ibera
Added an Ibera PakRak
Replaced handlebar stem with a 90 degree stem
Replaced the pedals
Brake handle grips
Ergonomic grips
Added an alarm plus AirTag plus kryptonite lock for safety
Side mirror
Random additions like custom tire caps, custom headset cap, etc
Planning on replacing the tires when something eventually happens to them
Might replace the headlight although hasn’t been much of an issue. | 0 |
I couldn’t help feeling dependent yesterday when I loaded up my duffle bag and went to do laundry..on the way back I remembered I needed to stop at grocery store..I knew I wasn’t gonna be able to get much stuff at the store but just a few things to tie me over for a few days…
Not having a car I used to have to Uber everywhere…I bought my bike about 3 months ago am I just approached the threshold of it paying for itself…money I’m saving on Uber rides can now be saved for a vehicle…I’m Very grateful for my bike…just wanted to share that with everyone… | 0 |
I'm hoping someone might put me in the direction of an affordable ebike or if not a regular bike that would be suitable for conversion. My last bike was a super modified 1990s Raleigh M50 that had around 40k miles on it, that I used to go to work daily for decades until some jerk stole it. I was hit by sticker shock when a bike that fit me wasn't still $230, so I just started taking the car instead.
Long story short, my car is in the shop and I'm using a comically undersized folding bike to get to work about 4 miles each way, and the discomfort is immeasurable. I'm back to considering getting another bike, but don't want to spend too much. I'm built like a commercial refrigerator, which makes it difficult. What is a good budget bike for someone who is 6'7 (33" inseam if thats still how you measure frame height and maximum saddle post length) 275lbs, and has multiple lower back herniated discs some of which were recovered but don't prevent me from riding? Oh and for extra context, half my ride is down a gravel road, so road racing bikes are a hard no. | 0 |
Hi Reddit! I live in Boston and need to commute to classes in different places in the city. The problem is the roads are rough and I’m very vibration sensitive. I had a bad concussion (unrelated to biking) when I was younger which has made me quite prone to more concussions. Last year I got one from hitting a pothole on an electric scooter (Apollo Air). I didn’t crash - just the shock alone was enough to do it. I’ve tried some city bikes since but get a headache quickly.
Anyway… I would really love to bike again and be able to show up to classes not in a full sweat so I’m hoping for some e-bike recommendations that might work for me.
Considerations:
Obviously the most important thing is a smooth ride - I am willing to compromise on any of the other features if needed
~$2000 budget
Foldable would be nice - I will likely be storing this in my car - otherwise it will have to be outside.
The ability to return the bike if needed (I would know right away within a few miles if it wouldn’t work)
I was looking at the Heybike Tyson but I saw some bad reviews of it on this sub.
If anyone is up to the challenge I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks! | 0 |
Complete novice here so be gentle with me. Just got my first e-bike, a new Wired Freedom, and built it this week. No issues with the build, right now I’m running everything as it came from the factory (no suspension adjustments yet).
When I get up over 20 or 25mph, the front end feels a little squirrelly - almost like a car’s steering wheel with too much play in it. It’s honestly a bit scary. Am I on the right track in looking at suspension adjustment as the likely solution, or am I off base?
The bike can go 40+ if I take it out of Class 2, but I cannot imagine doing that as things sit now!
Thanks in advance! | 0 |
This is my Nirve switchblade I converted with a tsdz2b. I realized that because the bike has a lowered chain stay in the back that a belt drive is possible on this frame.
It’s 60t front gates belt with a 26t in the back on a sturmey archer 3 speed. I was worried about the belt line as I know they have to be pretty straight. The gates chainring is 130bcd so I got the 130bcd spider for the tsdz2. Then I mounted the chainring on the inside of it using 2 spacers that were about 4mm in total with some slightly longer chainring bolts. Lastly, I countersunk the back of the chain ring holes slightly so the nuts were flush with it so it wouldn’t rub on the motor. This alone got a straight belt line. I am still waiting for some tensioners to come for the rear wheel still.
The next thing is a custom smaller battery I’m building to make it look sleaker. I also am probably going to swap the back wheel to a Shimano silent 3 speed hub because the archer is kinda clicky. The new hub also has a disc brake mount and I may try to add disc brakes to back as well. | 0 |

Its the 1.1 gen. A relative just upgraded from this so they gave it to me, only 120 miles on the ODO. I just read the manual and tried it out around the neighborhood; I ride motorcycles so I already know to expect cars to be blind to me, so I'm currently going to wear a high viz vest until I can get some major reflective and maybe upgrade lights... I saw there are lit pedals and such.
My question is what should I change/upgrade, then what do people recommend beyond the must-change aspects to increase ridability, speed, safety/etc? My relative says they think this has the improved T46 rear crank over the old T42 (I don't know what that means...) but beyond that it is stock. TIA! | 0 |
Hello guys, it's my first post here!
Just wanted to share with you the perfect fan for the LSI 9300-16i.
I've just bought one recently and I was suprised that card ran really hot. I had this idea when I saw my retired quadro 2000 card lying arround. It fits perfectly, without using zip ties or screws!
Got temps dropping from 75°c to 40°c!
You can find the heat sink assembly with fan on Ali Express for arround 20 bucks!
For connecting fan, i'm using a molex to 2 pins PWM fan connector
(GND + 12v) connecting to yellow and black pins from the quadro fan
The heat is really going outside of the card (blower fan), and it
just only "clip" it into the HBA radiator without doing any modifications!

This lab started with my gaming pc and a netgear router shortly after highschool. Got a NAS to keep my plex server separate from my everyday driver. Moved to a new house after college and built good old Jarvis, the box all the way to the bottom right, to replace that nas when it started eating drives. It went untouched in the corner of the guest room for several years, and is the most reliable system I have ever built.
This rack is in a home we built last year. It includes ubiquiti networking gear, Starlink internet, Reolink camera system, Sonos audio, a r730xd, ups backups, and a OTA TV distribution. The rPI was running home assistant but I recently moved it to a Vm inside if the R730xd that is running proxmox. Plan to add some hdmi distribution in here at some point but I’m still working on getting the smart home side where I want it first. | 0 |
Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a network performance issue and could use some help. Here's the situation:
* **Network Setup:** 1Gbps connection on both the server and the client
* **Tools Used:** iperf3
* **Observed Speed:** \~100Mbps
* **Server Specs:** CPU utilization is around 5%
* **Client Specs:** Windows machine with CPU utilization around 0.15%
**Details:**
I have a Windows machine connected to a 1Gbps network. When I test the network speed using iperf3, I only get around 100Mbps. The server's CPU utilization is quite low at about 5%, and the client (Windows machine) also shows minimal CPU usage at around 0.15%.
**Network Topology:**
* Both server and client are connected to the same Gigabit switch.
* No VLANs or special configurations on the network devices.
**Server and Client Specifications:**
* Server OS: Proxmox 8.1.4
* Server NIC Model: \`\`\` Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) \`\`\`
* Client OS: Windows 11
* NIC Model: Realtek 2.5Gbps
**iperf3 Command Used:**
* Server: `iperf3 -s`
* Client: `iperf3 -c <server_ip> -P 4`
**MTU Settings:**
* Standard MTU of 1500, no Jumbo Frames configured.
**Other Tests:**
* File transfers usings SFTP also show low speeds. (\~24Mbps)
* Ping and traceroute results are normal with low latency and no packet loss.
**Background:**
* All cables are Cat6.
* Network interface card (NIC) on the Windows machine is set to auto-negotiate and shows a 1Gbps link speed.
* NIC drivers are up-to-date.
* Minimal background processes are running on both server and client.
**Environmental Factors:**
* No recent changes to the network setup or hardware.
* No known interference issues or high traffic periods.
Despite these checks, the speed remains around 100Mbps. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this bottleneck? or how I can continue debugging this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance! | 0 |
Coming from alternative "documentation" tools like Confluence, Wiki(anything), text files, pieces of paper, smoke signals, whiteboards, and others... I need to share that I love Bookstack.
I already knew I would, but now that I'm actually using it properly, for myself (my own IT biz) to write documentation, I need to share that it's awesome and I love it.
I have it connected to my (Samba) AD environment for central auth, it pulls my user avatar in (glee), and is quite zippy!
Most recently I spent far too much time writing the documentation for joining a PVE Node to an existing cluster for one of my clients environments. I spent so much time because I wanted to write seriously incredible documentation (internal in this case, not for the client to see).
So many sane conveniences, I honestly am spoiling some nice surprises if I tell you too much.
Anyways, it's super easy to spin up, whether it's in a VM, or dockerhub images. I should have spun it up for myself sooner, but just wanted to share some positive vibes here on a really awesome tool.
Oh and the devs are really cool too. :D | 0 |
Hello together!
I have experience with small company/desktop/home servers, but I have no experience structuring them in a rack. Can anyone recommend a rack or hardware to organize my small home network? The structure I currently have is:
/8nag33elqbcd1.png?width=431&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1a6ddde3ef73af8b143eee541b65667760652e5
Currently, I run a Raspberry Pi (RPi) solely for Pi-hole + prometheus/grafana/alerting. I'm planning to build a NAS and media streaming setup. While I'd like to keep everything on the RPi, I don't trust RPi to run NAS.
I also have a desktop that I considered using, but I'm concerned about its 24/7 power consumption. I'm looking for suggestions for a low-power consumption home server. I've always wanted a U-format server, but I'm worried about power consumption and noise since it would be used infrequently.
Any advice on suitable racks, hardware, or configurations would be greatly appreciated! | 0 |
Hey everyone glad to join the community, first time posting here,
Sorry for the long question but I wanted to give all the context to you guys,
I have been having so much fun for the last two years playing around with my cubi, it's a small machine (MSI Cubi 5 10M-009BEU) with not so much powerful CPU (Intel Core i3-1011) but it has been doing the job so far pretty well, the problem now is the lack of space...
It currently holds a 2TB 2.5'' HDD and a 128GB SSD for OS, but it keeps getting full every once in a while forcing me to delete media.
For context: now I just use a standard ubuntu distro with docker and compose for serving all my services.
But another reason for creating this post is that I have been enjoying the idea of moving from docker to start playing around with kubernetes with multiple nodes (several VMs) to spin up my services (or maybe even go down the proxmox route - who knows?), but I can't do that with my MSI Cubi because of CPU limitations, it's not that powerful for that and also can't expand much more on RAM.
I know I have several options and I have been digging and lurking aorund here a lot lately, gonna name a few:
**1)** Drop the idea of kubernetes and multiple nodes / proxmox and just get some external enclosures with multiple bays and then connect via USB to my MSI Cubi. \[ not future proof at all because limitation on USB connection speed for multiple disks? + enclosures don't do raid as far as i am aware + no playground on k8s \]
**2)** Drop the idea of kubernetes and multiple nodes / proxmox and just buy a synology NAS and fill it up with some HDDs, was looking at ds1522+ and could start with 3 disks and then expand. \[ not much future proof but better than option 1 + no playground on k8s \]
**3)** Buy an used DELL T320 with 4x3TB SAS + possibility for more bays expansion (can get it for 200$). \[ more future proof + playground for k8s \]
(there might be even more options, let me know)
Option 3 looks interesting to me, but I feel like I wouldn't need to use the MSI Cubi anymore? Still trying choose a path where I could still leverage the MSI Cubi otherwise might just sell it?
On ideas to keep the Cubi: thought about moving Cubi to RAID and keep important data there - I would just need an extra disk I believe.
Then I could use the new DELL DIY for all my services using k8s experiments + expanded data storage that could be disposable, I guess raid 0 there?
What you guys think? I am bit lost at this stage and would really appreciate your opinions/feedback/experiences when you stumbled upon the same question/problem.
Thank you! | 0 |
Sooo I never update my servers, probably once in 2 months when tailscale starts complaining about major updates, I wanted to have a way to see which of my servers need updates so I made this tiny CLI (10mb) in go which does exactly that (I plan to add a web UI too)! It just connects to each of my servers with ssh and checks for apt updates. The app is still in very early stages of development but I wanted to see if you guys would use something like this in your homelab.
/tw92zn7sabcd1.png?width=1066&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3f4eb4d011abf9e5688f1b462743f0a38f8b376
Here is the link for the github repository: [/steveiliop56/puck](/steveiliop56/puck)
Edit: Because there seems to be some misunderstanding about the actual purpose of the tool let me clarify something. This tool is ***not*** Ansible and it isn't trying to compete with Ansible in any way. What I showed you here is the core/cli that will be powering a simple docker container that will run a web ui which you can access and simply see what you need to update at a glance, it's just eliminating the need to open a terminal. That's what the tool is planned to do and it's my mistake I didn't clearly state it from the beginning. I hope that changes the perspective of some people about the tool. | 0 |
My networking can't really handle the 5 tapo cameras I have. Internet and routing comes in via a tplink deco x60 with no useful GUI or CLI. The only benefit of the x60 is mesh wireless - I find it hard to believe that it can support 100s of clients per node. My server sits behind a glinet split tunnel wireguard mini router that is a client of the x60. I use static routes to access the x60 subnet from the glinet subnet. I've used ubiquiti edgerouter, glinet, and lightly played with pfsense as a VM.
But I'm going to be upgrading, the centerpiece being a tower server with 10G and 2.5G Ethernet running promox.
Any advice on topologies or approaches?
I'm liking mikrotik, I need at least 10 Ethernet drops, more if I decide to run some small devices on that rack or run a few more Ethernet runs for 2 port wall plates. (I'm guesstimating about 400 feet of runs).
/product/crs310_8g_2s_in
And would use the sfp+ for the two connections to the main server. All mesh nodes (a mix of x60, m4r, whatever) would be on access point mode, most via Ethernet backuaul, which I think still gives me mesh networking - there's going to be five of these things. And the mikrotik would be running wireguard to access my lan. Then I think another
I guess the alternative would be a udm and ubiquiti ap for a single ecosystem. The x60 is end of life and I grow tired having routers behind routers. But like I said, I like the hacky flexibility of mikrotik. | 0 |
Hi guys I'm system and network engineer and I recently decided to start my first home lab using this HP EliteDesk. It's a 705 G4 model with a Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE 3.60GHz 4 cores 8 threads, 2x8gb of RAM and 1×240gb NVMe with the possibility to add one sata drive(3.5 inches). My idea is to install Proxmox VE and different VMs like win11 or win10 pro machine with a product key that I already have. I would like to installa al Plex on it and maybe put a sata drive for that. All suggestions and ideas are appreciated. Thanks 😊 | 0 |
I've been doing some searching and watched some YT vids on the subject, but I want to hear anyone's real world results before I pull components and waste perfectly good thermal paste.
Will replacing two CPUs with one, reducing RAM by half, and replacing the 750W PSU with a 495W noticeably reduce power consumption?
I have a Dell R730 with dual Xeon E5-2650 v4, 128gb RAM, 1x 750W PSU, Quadro P1000 GPU, several drives.
Also, has anyone gotten an X16 GPU to work in a single CPU R730? If not, then I suppose considering going single CPU is moot. | 0 |
