Was talking to somebody who bought them from drift. Said it was nice quality but the scent was gone pretty quickly.

I seem to get a bunch of spam texts from various numbers. I’d hate to change my number but it’s coming close to it.

I’d like if the text just flat out were blocked or went into the filter but not even showing me a notification icon on iMessage.

Is anything like this possible even if it’s 3rd party and paid??

I’m down nearly 40lbs which is close to where I wanted to be. Could afford a few more honestly.

But I’m wondering what are you guys doing after you hit your goals? On the Reta forever or is there a weening timeline you’re giving yourself?

I’m factoring in the conveyor belt too which looks like nobody else offers that?

I’ve had a few cheap cheap diodes and a used k40. Using light burn had decent results but nothing spectacular nor consistent.

I have yet to buy anything good and new. I’m not afraid to learn but the last few lasers I spent more time playing around with focus constantly and burn settings than anything else.

Kinda like comparing my old ender printer which worked most of the time with some tinkering vs a new bambu I recently got which has been mostly rock solid reliable and consistent.

I’m trying to find a fiber laser that’s turn key like a bambu does that exist asides from xtools stuff? I know somebody who has a f2 ultra and makes the ai vision system sound like it’s taking a bunch of the guess work out if it.

And that’s the other thing a Mopa seems very interesting but is it totally necessary? I’d like to be able to some stuff like dog tags, metal business cards, metal drink cups. If they are bare metal will the fiber alone mark it up to be seen or would it have to be painted in that case?

I’m typically doing a simple bacon egg cheese wrap with a small amount of guacamole.

Wondering if I freeze these ahead of time will they become soggy or gross? If I vacuum seal a few at a clip would that keep them in better condition?

Could forgo the guacamole till the day off given the short shelf life.

Given the great positive responses from my last post, I’m taking the plunge on trying out YNAB. So far, I like it a lot and it feels more intuitive than quicken Simplifi.

I did want to try out bank linking option. So my question is regarding transactions.

I’m trying to stay on top of everything as closely as possible. So I don’t know if there’s a specific time of day where it syncs with banks and syncs the transactions.

Right now, my workflow has been immediately after a transaction is made in person or online. I manually create a transaction get the dollar amount exact and the name as close to what I think will show up on my bank transactions but leave it Pending.

Now because of my ocd I like having my purchases immediately put into YNAB. However there might something I miss here and there so I’d like to stick with the syncing if it works.

So far in the past few days I’ve noticed that transactions I’ve manually logged and left pending cleared themselves after they actually cleared. Now either I’m crazy and imaging it or YNAB was smart enough to figure out which transaction I was going for???

What are you guys doing what’s your workflow?

Feels like everyone starting YNAB has a bunch of money squirreled away already. All the intro vids are showing people who have $10k in the bank already put aside so it’s super simple to live on last months check. I’m happy for yah I really am.

Is there any vids or explanations on people who don’t have generational wealth and are just starting off?

I got rid of the mpcnc last year just due to it sitting. Nothing majorly wrong with it just wish it was faster and more accurate. But what do you want for under like $700 total give or take.

I did a bunch of hobby stuff with it and a few small jobs. I struggled with flatness on some natural wood and ended up with some issues with v carvings coming out inconsistent which drove me nuts. Switched to mdf and plastic and enjoyed the results much more although mdf has its own set of issues. Plastic is nice and easy to work with it.

I’m not opposed to building another and I have seen some newer machines under $1500. Was looking for ideas opinions some thing in that ball park.

Was wondering if anyone does any kits like mpcnc but faster and stronger? Was shooting for like a 4x4 footprint to maybe large sheets of plastic.
