    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    Always loved this quote. Maybe its pertinent to the discussion, maybe not. “To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea...

    MBA and your experience

    I'm mixed on the MBA. Depends on what you do and how much you have to pay. If the company is paying and the requirements for you to stay aren't too bad, do it. Education never hurts and it can diversify the work you can do. If you want to rock in finance, I'd say its a requirement to get up...

    SpaceX Starlink Internet Service

    I just ran a speed test and it was 132 down and 4 up. I also run voip phones through it - works well with a lot of overseas calls. So far, other than dealing with the damaged unit I first received, this thing has been flawless. Huge improvement over dealing with regular comcast outages. I...

    SpaceX Starlink Internet Service

    FYI - I signed up in January, and got my unit in April. First unit was damaged and I had to send it back. Customer service f'ing sucks. That said, new unit works like a dream. This thing is the f'ing bomb. I'm not out in the sticks but the service is so much more dependable than my shitball...

    Recommend me a zero turn mower

    My old man bought an Exmark way behind back in the 80's when they just hit the market. Every other mfg bitched that "they're heavy". I sold it just a few years ago ago and the only thing wrong with it was that Kawasaki had orphaned the carb. It was built like an f'ing tank. In my neck of the...

    Any CAD Designers on Here?

    Oh yeah - there's a ton of free training on the titan site if you just want to test the waters and see if you enjoy it. Ignore titan's schtick. He means well...

    Any CAD Designers on Here?

    Odd responses in my opinion. If you're a welder/fabricator, capitalize on that knowledge. Learn Solidworks. Get a student copy from Titan CNC and learn it well, maybe get a SWCP cert. There should be some remote work out there. Use your fab knowledge to do good designs that work. If you...

    Wildest part of your state or province

    Picked up a guy from one of the Diomede islands once as an observer for a cruise up north. The whole time we were seeing seal, bears, walrus, etc, he was beside himself with the fact that he wasn't allow to pack his AR10. ;-).

    Wildest part of your state or province

    I don't doubt it. Ask anyone in the DC area "where to go backpacking" and the first thing they'll say is Dolly Sods. I was introduced to it in the mid 80's and spent time there through the 90's - mostly winter camping alone. I don't think I'd go unless it was in the winter now. Davis was a...

    Not in my state, but Bouvet Island is probably the most remote I've been... Or at least the most remote you can get on this planet...
