I'd need a half-sized lathe to begin producing metal parts, and without it, I might as well just buy an already-made engine and say it's a "hobby", but where's the fun in that?

I know, I know,

How would he even enforce that?

If it's a safety concern buying a mining machine is probably more a hazard

Not a safety concern.

The thing's loud as hell,

Especially when machining metal,

He doesn't want noise complaints.

Oh, it is pretty loud.

The problem is, the motor itself is very quiet, but the squealing you get when machining aluminum breaches 85 decibels, and after 85 decibels hearing damage can occur, and while I have protection, neighbors can file a noise complaint because it's MUCH higher than the allowed noise here.

So sadly it seems for the time-being, or until I move elsewhere, model trains are out of my reach.

Why not take up carving?

Quiet and you learn knife skills.

Actually, I used to do a bit of woodturning, but once never really liked carving.

I suppose it wasn't really my thing.

I've recently got interested in investing,

And one thing led to another,

And I'm going to invest in crypto for a bit just to learn the ropes,

Then I'll seriously invest into silver.

Why?

Highly volatile.

Of all the precious metals that's the only one where people straight went broke

It likely won't go below 10$.

It's good for rapid trading.

This sounds like gambeling with more steps

I suppose I might just be deluding myself, but perhaps optimism may pay off.

This seems kind of illegal

Oh no, it's completely legal.

Millions of bots exist.

For trading.

I suppose, but won't you just be competing woth different more fell funded bots then?

Ah, but that's where the genius of it comes up.

Instead of competing,

With other bots,

As far as I know,

Not trying to jerk myself off here,

Which is part of why I bought the miner.

I might be able to replace the circuit boards,
