We have a dude that orders two or three boxes of half dollars each month and then goes through them looking for silver ones. Walking 70lbs of coins to and from his double parked car is the best part of my day, let me tell you.

The best part is he's getting into mining when the entire crypto market is exploding as the house of cards is falling. The upfront cost alone is probably a million if he has to do electrical work, hell the step down transformer is 100j before you get the electrical workers to install it!

Couple friends of mine had two kids intentionally, a third unexpectedly (go figure, I'd expect that people in their 30s would know how that poo poo works, but anyway), and decided that was that. Husband is a *giant wuss* about surgery, so the wife goes and gets an IUD.

At some point, she starts getting some pain, so goes in to get things checked out. Doc says "Um...I don't see the strings. Let's get you an x-ray." Turns out the IUD had perforated her uterus and gone walkabout in her abdominal cavity. They had to do real surgery and collect it where it had migrated down around her anus.

Husband ended up getting a vasectomy after that.

This is why I got snipped, wife reacts badly to bc and we knew we didnt want kids of our own. At 21 I got snipped and it cost us about 1200 dollars after it was all said and done, well worth the cost for the safety of mind and ability to control our future. Now that we are stable and she is finishing her MLT program we are going through foster care to adopt (and skip the loving infant stage)

Also calling bullshit at a vasect changing your body chem at all, since it only effects sperm not your hormones.

Yeah foster to adopt in my state is actually really good, Medicare coverage for the child till they are 18 (even then my workplace pays ALL of my medical coverage) and we will get a small stipend for it till they are 18 because we want to adopt a child over the age of 5 which makes them classified as a special needs child in the system.

Also everyone should look into fostering the systems so frazzled and needs help due to the opiod epidemic. And they don't sugar coat anything.

My man you need to see the paperwork we have to do. There's pages of what you are willing to consider and not to. And social workers are front and center to make sure that the child will be alright in the placement home. They do not just drop a kid off and say here you go we don't know poo poo on this one, not like the stereotype of it.

Best way to put it is we get everything in our life torn apart for this process and to let the state know what we can and can't deal with.

Example : would you consider a child with a conviction for murder(this is legitimate and on the paperwork), tons of fire questions, questions on if the child has been abused physically Emotionally or sexually, and if they need medical care.

Reddiot gets a job requiring a vehicle but doesn't allocate any money for learning how to drive.

Guy at work has a long term girlfriend that can top that, think she has had 5 accidents in the last 4 years min based on what he says. Took out a mailbox in his brand new car, took out a telephone pole in the brand new minivan they had for like 2 months (and I mean took out as in the drat thing was hanging in air). He said to add her to his insurance would have been a 4 grand increase in the premium per 6 months due to her tickets and accident record.

Nother guy at works got 2 duis and has to walk everywhere. Honestly cant wait to hear his bitching about his insurance costs once he gets his license back at the end of the year, then loses it again because he goes to the bar constantly .

You say that but they have design tolerances that even the most poo poo ecobox in the us does not allow. Just the body work alone on a fresh car off the lot is way higher then any vehicle from the auto market. Maybe if they could do it slower it would be better but they specify in their production documents that a quarter inch mismatch in the body panels is acceptable and have since the start if I recall and that's insane.

Have you driven one? Routing everything through the touch-screen isn't a great design. Because it's a touch-screen, and they aren't going to last a decade. It's a great car if you only lease cars though.

The drat door handles are touch based, they pop out after you touch them then you open the door. Almost everything in the tesla models is electronic with so few mechanical systems that if any part of the electrical system gets a bug the car does not function. So much waste of power and money on stuff that adds nothing besides appearance.

In manufacturing you see alot of men moving to second or third shift so that the mother can be on days. Dad watches the kids during the day (and gets 3 hours of sleep) then goes to work at night. I've known a few co-workers that do this until the kids are in school just to save on daycare.

Just laughing at the idea he can refinance to have a 2.7 percent interest rate. My wife and I have amazing credit in the 780s and sofi denied us, then citizen gave us a rate but it's at 6.50 percent interest for refinancing her private student loans. Not understanding that those interest ranges are there to sucker you and and reel you in.

Also 280 k for an undergraduate is obscene and anyone doing it is the biggest sucker in the world. Perfect for this guy obsessing about ratios and prestige.

Hope he doesn't fall for the trap my wife did with 11percent interest on her private student loans :negative:

Opiate epidemic is more of an issue then people realize, Drug testing in many manufacturing isnt testing for weed its looking for signs of meth and opiates. Northeast Ohio cant fill any of the manufacturing jobs paying well above median wage with good benefits because of both a lack of skilled workers (trained CNC and the like) and then people that arent opiate addicted.

we have 4 positions open at the company I am at that offer around 20 an hour with paid medical and not soul crushing overtime or shifts, we cant get people at all.

It is high and I don’t know squat about Michigan laws, but you also don’t seem to have collision or comprehensive. Those are much more expensive than liability.

On ours its roughly $60 for 100/300/100 liability, $6 for uninsured/underinsured, $4 for medical, but $250 for collision and $125 for comprehensive (per car, per half).

Cars are rebuilt salvage my dad(autobody expert) and I did so rates tend to be a bit lower and we don't have a loan on either car which helps. We havent really updated our policy in years though but I know I have more then State min for Ohio at least.

Fostering a child and adopting a child over the age of 6 is usually classed as special needs (even in there is no medical or paycheck reason it's just how the state defines it). Children classed as this that are adopted from the state will typically get medicaid until they are 20 unless the adoptive parents waive it, the social workers heavily push that you keep them on medicaid.
Alongside that you do get some federal and state funding until they are 18.

Point being adopting from foster care has a ton of benefits for you and the children

(Please foster and adopt the kids need you and we are trying again next year)

Not all jobs can be automated, there is still a ton of jobs not being filled or trained for that require people with more specialized machining skills but don't need a mechanical engineer for. Along side that there is almost no one in most votecs that is going for machinist and mechanic training in my experience.

Bwm side product is that most machinist I have worked with love to buy tons of expensive toys like 50k trucks or boats based on overtime and then go insane when the company hits a slowdown and they are back to a straight 40 hours.

I swear within the last year, I read about companies having a huge shortage of skilled machinists in that they really want to hire them and are paying good wages, but there are not enough American machinists available with skill and experience that can pass a piss test and have no criminal background, so they’re bringing in foreign workers.

Where I'm at they never would bring in foreign workers in this area. Mainly because racism is rampant in the machining world but also because there's a huge gulf of difference between a setup and production skilled machinist and people are desperate for setup people. Which is also something that no votec trains for!

The fact that student loans collect interest and then capatilze the interest into the principal is why people are hosed by them, miss a payment? Add to principal. Deferr? Add to principal. Just finish school? Add to principal. It absolutely fucks you to have another 10k suddenly add on to the loan from interest being added that then collects it's own interest. Add on rates averaging 6-9 percent and welp no wonder why a whole generation is basically is stuck in debt limbo.

That's even funnier when you see the Eastern suburbs building cookie cutter homes like mad and many of them having unit sit vacant for the last few years. It's northern Ohio no one wants to move here and can afford a 200k house on what people are getting paid. There's a 2 condo developments by me in the Eastern part of lake county that have had open units in them for years and are largely half filled.

I've seen a few of the signs you're talking about, I think what those are about is someone that owns the land getting a deal with a home builder to make the lot come with a made to build house on closing. But the jokes on you because it's a Ryan home and oh holy gently caress they are bad.

Bank closing all my accounts
So I do bitcoin trading and legitimate stock trading and binary trading. Last week I decided to withdraw a large amount of money ($392,000 AUD) for the first time to purchase a new car. However when the money was deposited into my account I was contacted by the bank to come into the branch to “have a chat”. I went to the branch and they talked to me about how I made that money and what I was intending to do with the money which seems fair. I told them I was purchasing a supercar and nothing else, they didn’t seem to think that seemed legitimate as I am 18. They said for now they were gonna temporarily freeze my accounts to investigate and it could lead to further actions. Are they allowed to do that?
