Is CNC machining a good thing to get into at my age?

I posted here about a year ago about the current situation I was in at a company. I started a new role at a different company 8 months back, setting up & running CNC press brakes. I like the job a lot actually, and I have progressed pretty good in that amount of time, especially for it being brand new to me. I’m weekend shift Fri., Sat., Sun. 7am-7pm. It’s nice having the 4 day weekends, but it’s tough to get any kind of social activities in being I work while most are off.

I applied at a smaller machine shop right down the road from me last Wednesday after seeing signs up looking for workers. So, I stopped in and submitted a resume and to my surprise the receptionist paged the production supervisor and gave me an interview while he showed me around he shop. They seem like really solid people (foreman and the union guys). The opening is for 2nd shift CNC milling operators.

I explained I have no experience in this craft, my CNC experience is coming from forming sheet metal components, but they must have liked me and seen potential. Most of the work doesn’t look too intimidating, they machine off of extruded aluminum instead of solid stock.

My second interview is with ownership tomorrow, and wanted to ask you guys your opinion. Am I big on working 2nd shift? No. If it were a year or less before I got days, I would work it though. I’d be making $1/hr more if I accept this job. I don’t really hate the company I’m at now, but I don’t really love it either, so I’m just seeing what’s out there and keeping an open mind. At my age (32 years old) I feel like I really need to start settling in on a career and to stop taking ‘jobs’ but I’m not sure what I’d be interested in.

Would you guys pursue the machining gig? Or stay where I’m at for the time being?

I appreciate any and all advice.

Accessories Backpack that leaves hip belt on when removed??

I want a backpack I can remove without removing the waist belt. I want to keep my mags, etc, on my waist belt after the pack is removed. I saw a back a while back that had a tab on the backpack that slid into a space on hip belt for support, but allowed you to easily remove the pack, leaving the belt on.

Anyone know what pack that is??

Thanks

Save money on Halloween candy by using this one trick

Don't buy any. 550 cord and zip tie the gates to your front door shut and then watch people die inside as their fat asses walk up all of the steps to get to said gate, and the gate won't open only to realize that they are still 10-12 feet away from the door and doorbell.

On another note, I randomly just found my 1998 dated KSK field jacket. I'm now worried there's a live grenade or a Carl Gustav in this box somewhere.

Happy Halloween you fucking muppets.

Has anyone been shot at while hunting?

I just posted this on rokslide, but going to post here as well:

Today I was out hunting West of Benson AZ, just north of Mescal in Unit 33 for mule deer. I was hunting in AZ State Trust Land, East of Mescal Road by mile marker 3, to provide some context for those that know the area.

Didn't have much luck in the morning, saw a few doe but no bucks. By the early afternoon I ended up hiking to an area that was just a bit South of where I was hunting in the morning and on Friday, to see if there was any good terrain to glass from. While hiking around I heard a series of gunshots - at first I thought someone was just a really bad shot and shooting at a deer, but after the 4th or 5th shot, I assumed they may have been target shooting and didn't think much of it besides it being a bit odd (even though I don't think target shooting is allowed on AZ State Trust Land). I ended up on a hillside facing south, and setup my tripod and bino's to glass.

I was there for about 5 minutes, and then I would hear a gunshot and a second later the whizzing of a bullet flying over my head. Boom, another shot and bullet flying over my head. I hit the deck to reduce my signature, as I was pretty exposed on the hillside that I was on. I think one or two more shots went over me, then a pause. I got up in the kneeling position, and as soon as I did I hear another boom, followed by a bullet flying over my head. At this point I'm thinking "what the F...CK, someone is definitely shooting AT me". I waited another moment or two, then grabbed my backpack, tripod with binos and my rifle and ran over the crest of the hill so I was no longer exposed. No more gunshots after that.

I headed straight to my vehicle, which was pretty close at that point. I would periodically stop and scan with my bino's to see if I could see anyone in the vicinity. I never saw who was shooting me. I'm assuming they were shooting from a dirt road that runs parallel to Mescal, that had a few spots which they could've shot at me from. As I left in my vehicle there was two guys and a girl loading up an OHV on a trailer where the dirt road meets Mescal Road, but this is a popular hunting area and I'm not going to make any assumptions it was them without any proof.

I have no idea what to make of this situation. This is my first hunt ever, and only my second day hunting (and last) for this specific hunt. Tomorrow is the last day for my specific hunt, but after today's experience I'm just going to call it quits and cut my losses. I was really excited about picking up this new hobby, but this really puts a damper on my enthusiasm for it.

Arrest finally made in Delphi Murders

Well, it only took 5 years. That's a long time considering one of the murdered girls had the presence of mind to turn on the video of her cellphone that captured both the image and voice of their eventual murderer and abductor. Rest In Peace Abby and Libby.

FYI, we only have Free Speech here

We don't have "hate speech"; we don't have disinformation or misinformation; we have free speech here.

Now we understand in civil society, we want to maintain a certain level of decorum; we need to be civil with each other when engaging in conversations as normal people do. When we converse, we don't always agree; I like Tits, and Mazerblade likes his boyfriend's ass, and that's ok.

I can say he likes his boyfriend's ass because it's my opinion based on my many years of experience reading his posts. And the fact, for like 18 years, I asked him for naked pictures of his supposed baby's Momma, and none ever appeared, so that led me to believe it's a guy, not a girl, hence my response. Mazerblade could be the biggest Rump Ranger on this site, and it shouldn't matter to anyone viewing it. Now, if he reported me for this, it would get rejected. Because a forum is all about exchanging ideas and I am simply presenting my opinion, I have an idea it's correct, but I am not 100% certain. Because I am not 100%, you can't rule on it, as I haven't completely ruled it out, I am wrong, but I could be right. Get it.

If you get called a dumb ass, or some other variation of that, it's not hate speech; it's that person's opinion of you. Simple, not hate, just a judgment call. Judgment calls are made every day about a variety of topics, so don't sweat it. You can make one too, but don't make too many because of you devolve into a name-calling post, both get removed. We can disagree; just try not to fight it out in public beyond two pages.

You have an ignore button, rather than tattling on someone for calling you a bad word; I know words hurt today as much as sticks and stones. apparently, fear not; you can take matters into your own hands and prevent them from ever darkening your door again. If you put them on Ignore, you hide their words. Hiding words mean you can't be offended by them cause they will be invisible. Invisible means you won't see the hurtful content directed at you.

I get it, we want the forums to be our picture of perfect, but perfect is different for everyone. I envisioned this as a squad bay, not a safe space.

In a civil society, we need to be conscious of each other when talking; however, that doesn't mean we can't have emphasis or some extra hyperbolic language attached to speech. It happens; I do it a lot to emphasize my point, so don't sweat it.

Doesn't mean we can motherfuck everyone we speak with here, but if it's warranted or someone is acting a bit hard-headed, a well-placed cuss word never hurts anyone.

Night Vision [SOLD] PVS-30 GP, Black body, with bag + optional 3deg Kiji w/ remote switch.

I bought 4x PVS-30's earlier in the year. After selling off one of my rifles this unit is now surplus to my needs. Purchased this one from OwnTheNight.com in February 2022. <2hrs total on the tube. Looks and functions as new. Takes CR123 or single AA battery. Comes with soft case and light shield.

I also have a 3deg Kiji with M-LOK mount and a Sure Fire DS-SR07 pigtail w/ tape swtich available as well for an additional $1000. I will not sell the Kiji by itself, please do not ask.

Buyer pays actual shipping with insurance covering the full sale price. Shipping by UPS or USPS air or ground at buyers discretion. I sold a PVS-27 here recently and the insurance on the shipping was pretty stout. If insurance is over $300 I'll split that with the buyer. For interested parties wanting to inspect before purchase, we can do a google hangout or Face Time so you can see the thing power on.

Be quick. These don't last long.

PVS-30 only: $6000, no trades.
PVS-30 + Kiji & Pigtail: $7000, no trades.

CZ magazines annoying for PRS/NRL 22

I shot a match over the weekend using my CZ 452, I usually use a T1x but wanted to try the old CZ again to see how I found it (much prefer the Tikka).

Rifle performed as expected but I really find myself being annoyed at the magazine location, and the big banana shape seems to make shooting off a bag and barricades more annoying than with the T1x. Admittedly if I had a chassis/stock that I loaded up with weight on the forend the balance point could be made to be just in front of the magazine but this still ends up being a long way forwards compared to what I am used to, and there isn't much space between the bipod and magazine for a bag.

I've been 95% impressed with my T1x but I have now broke two firing pins and have intermittent FTE issues that I'm considering making a change, I was considering kitting out my old 452 or 457 but a find the magazines to be notably worse than T1x mags (physically worse, they function great).
I could get a 457 and put it in a chassis with a really long ARCA rail to get more space for a bag, but the balance point still ends up being a long way forward, so will need a tonne of weight added to balance the chassis.

Does anyone else have this same issue? Or is it a 'me' thing?
