    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    Your comment about fear reminded me of something I saw recently... I thought this was pretty good. C. S. Lewis' 1948 essay on the Corona Virus. (Just replace "Atomic Bomb" with "Corona") "In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. How are we to live in an atomic age?" I am...

    Awesome, thanks! I tried cooking white kidney beans before and couldn't get them to come out edible and rage quit. These sound easier though, so I'll definitely give it a go. If I can get them to come out good I'd like to add these to my regular diet too in addition to my food stockpile

    I'm currently living in South Korea, but thankfully it's not bad in my area yet. I bought about 60,000 calories worth of food yesterday, and planning to get more next time I'm out. Some pictures of grocery stores in other areas of the country showed empty shelves, so it's entirely plausible...

    Small Scale Manufacturing Machines

    HOT! 
    Great thread! I design and program automation and manufacturing equipment, so I also see a lot of the same opportunity in this area. I really enjoy designing machines and making manufacturing processes more efficient, so I would love to set up my own small manufacturing facility for a...

    Any Easy To Use Software to Create a Physical Mockup of Your Product?

    If you're looking for free options and are set on doing it all yourself, I would suggest Fusion360 for making a 3D model of your part, and then using Blender to make a nice rendering. If you've used any CAD software before, Fusion360 should be easy to learn. Blender, however, has a pretty...

    Opportunities in 3D Printing

    Another area where 3d printing can be used is in manufacturing tooling. In certain situations where strength is not critical, it can save a ton of money. 3D printed forms for sheet metal (which obviously don't last as long as a metal form) are also used sometimes if the quantity of parts is...

    "I don't know what product to sell" How You Choose A Product-Based Business

    NOTABLE! 
    Awesome post. I'm going through this process right now as I'm starting a pet product business with my friend. This is a great reminder for what to focus on when developing a product. There are existing products on the market, but they have their fair share of complaints and negative...

    Hosting an Event to get Market Feedback

    Yes, ideally we would have a couple prototypes, but we are still a ways off from that point. It shouldn't be too expensive to host the event, especially split two ways and I think we can get some good value out of it, even without a prototype. If we get a decent turnout, we will do it again...

    Hosting an Event to get Market Feedback

    I am in the early stages of developing a physical product with a partner, and we are planning to host a local event so that we can get a lot of direct feedback from our target market in a short time. The product is in the pet industry, so we will be inviting a specific type of pet owner and...

    Learn another language!

    Learning Korean now, but making pretty slow progress. Super easy to read, but hard to learn conversation as an english speaker.

    Using Photos in a Database - Copyright Issue?

    Hey guys, I'm considering putting together a database website, but I'm trying to find out first if I could run into any issues with copyright infringement. The website would contain a database of some fictional characters, and it would list physical characteristics about each character and...

    Taking over business from retiring baby boomers

    HOT! 
    Yeah, the past few months I've been focusing a lot on growth, so I've been reaching out to different categories of potential clients to see who has the most common occurance of need for my services. I was surprised to find that most of the interest was from existing consultancies looking to...

    HOT! 
    Interesting to hear you mention engineering consulting businesses. Is your work related to this area? Just curious how you are involved (I recently started a small engineering freelance side hustle that I'm looking to grow and I'm always looking for new ways to try reaching potential clients)

    Are you ignoring the gold right in front of you?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This would be a great next step for me. I'm currently doing the remote work thing overseas, but once I move home I think there would be plenty of opportunity to expand into this area. I actually did a decent amount of this at my first job... travelling to different manufacturing facilities and...

    Are you ignoring the gold right in front of you?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Definitely true for me. I'm a mechanical engineer and worked as a designer for automation equipment and as a manufacturing engineer at a big aerospace company. I'm freelancing now, but there's definitely a lot of potential to make a more scalable business in these, which is the long term goal...

    A Divided Mind -- (how do you allocate your attention?)

    Wow, great advice. Thank you. The pressure to make a decision can get to me, but yeah I agree I need to take my time to lay it all out and see what fits best into the bigger plan. The big plan usually doesn't turn out the way we expect anyway, so I can't worry about it too much. At the same...
