**Text Based Questions** * Text based question posts that are short, contain too little information, or receive little feedback throughout the day may often be removed, and directed to the Monthly Advice Thread. **Career Advice** * This subreddit is focused on machining projects, and therefore it is best to move any questions related to careers and similar questions to our monthly advice thread, or other communities that are a bit more on topic.
