What designer purse should I get as my first one?
Ok I have a serious handbag obsession so you can imagine how excited I was when my fiance offered to get me a designer purse for my upcoming birthday. I don't think price is a big deal (as long as it is under $1,000) so I have lots of options. I don't like Coach or Dooney & Bourke. I have bebe and Guess already. Please don't suggest I not get one. This is what I want REALLY bad... just as someone else saves up for a vacation or something... this is my way of treating myself... well as a gift of course ;)

Should I buy a used car as my first car?
It depends on how you plan to use it, where you live, where do you work, how much do you drive, your finances and many more variables.I see many people here almost forcing you to buy a used car because everyone assumes that you will “learn from it”, “maintain it”, “dent it”, “learn to appreciate luxury” etc. and one should buy a new car only when one has had enough experience with a used one. I get where that’s coming from, but it’s not necessary that you have the same needs/experiences as others. One usually tends to be careful and responsible with a brand new car, and careless with a used car, and that’s where you hear these stories about scratches/dents. Its psychological.When I graduated and started a 40-hr a week job, I got a new Toyota Camry. I got my driving license and insurance just two days before I bought the car. Not that I didn’t know how to drive, as I had driven before but on the other side of the road and with a manual transmission. I really needed a car at the time especially for work. Here is what I had in mind:Warranty.My time is precious, I didn’t want to keep checking all issues of my car (brakes/tires etc) and wanted something that wouldn’t cause me inconvenience on the highway, which might happen with used cars.I needed a car for 10 or maybe more years, and getting a new would surely last me that long if well maintained. Something that wouldn’t let me down, so that I could afford something like a used BRZ/FR-S alongside for the weekends.I needed something that would run with as little maintenance as possible, nothing much from regular oil changes, tire rotation etc.4 doors, spacious interior, great leg room, and somewhat decent on mileage (30+mpg at least).Also keep in mind that you can get new cars for 0 percent interest, whereas used cars come with interest if you buy from a dealer, or you need to pay cash. I didn’t have cash at the time, so I simply had no other option.50,000 miles so far on my very first car, and not a single issue, nor a single chip or a dent.Yes you can get by with a used car as well, that will save you a lot of money. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you will “learn” something out of it.

What AWS exams should I do first?
The AWS Certifications are dividing in 2 levels : Associate and Professional. The Associate level is the most relevant to begin with.AWS Certifications - Associate levelThere is 3 Associate exams, based on 3 areas:The AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (area: architecting).For this exam, you need to be able to design distributed applications and systems on the AWS platform. For example, lift and shift of an existing on-premises application to AWS is one of the concept tested.The AWS Certified Developer - Associate (area: developing)In this exam, you will be test for your knowledge in developing and maintaining of applications on the AWS platform. For example, you need to be able to writing a code that optimizes performance of the AWS services used by your application.The AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate (area: Operations)This exam will confirm your technical skills in management, deployment and operations on the AWS platform. You need to be familiar with the implementation and control of the flow of data to and from AWS for example.If you want more details for each exam, take a look at the official AWS description. Getting ready for AWS exams can be quite challenging if you’re new to this technology. In addition to create your own AWS account and start reading white-papers, I will recommend these Cloud Academy* learning paths. They have been created to go through the theory and the practice that you need to be prepare and are frequently updated to stick to the real exam.If you want to start a career in cloud computing, AWS Certifications are definitely something to consider. These certifications are well recognized in the market and will help you to gain in credibility in front of a potential employer.In conclusion, you can start with any of these AWS Certification Associate, considering your own experiences and preferences!*full disclosure: I work here
Which one of the following IT certs should someone get first, and why: CCENT, CCT, CCNA, ITF+, Comp TIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, MTA, CSA, or CAPM?
You don’t say exactly what you think you’re going to be doing with these certs, but CCENT is the first half of CCNA, which can be gained via one exam or two. Unless you are well versed in networking, take the two-exam route.A+ is pretty much the only measure of competence in general hardware and software, so that’s a good place to start, if you are going to be a bench tech, help desk, etc.The other CompTIA ( with possible exception of Security+ are either specialized or worthless, in my opinion. Sec+ is only useful because US DoD considers is useful/required for many jobs. The others have no future path. You take one exam, and then what? At least with CCNA, you have growth; CCNP, or you can broaden out to other CCNAs ( Security, CyberOps, Collaboration, Data Center, Service Provider, etc.Lastly, if you plan on working with Windows, the MCP exams for Desktop, Server, and other specialties are a good place to start.
Should I get a metal lathe or mill first?
the lathe. always the lathe. learn about tolerancing, measuring, and how to cut threads. its an indescribable feeling when you make a pulley a heat shrink fit over a shaft. or get a perfect sliding fit thats airtight with a piston and cylinder.tooling has already been mentioned…you need tooling. and not just the metal cutting tools, but a bench grinder for sharpening and making custom tools. yes, carbide insert bits are nice to use but there is always some operation that requires special tools.a vacuum cleaner is handy.shelves. preferably pigeon holes and a nice selection of rounds in various materials from the scrapyard, or you can get offcuts from machine shops that conveniently, are usually marked as to what material/alloy they actually are. (once got some magnesium bar from the scrapyard thinking it was ali… nearly set my lathe on fire the next day!)you can line bore on a lathe. cut threads, both straight and tapered, with a taper attachment. cut spheres/balls and bowls. ive seen a linkage made for cutting parabolas, but never had the need to make my own version yet. the mill slide does come in handy at times.make an entire engine with some determination. its why theyre often called “engine lathes”.whereas a mill… they have limits in what they can do. and whatever you get, it will be too small… yes, handy once you learn a few of the tricks, but the operation and setup is completely different, obviously.as for CNC…its handy, but its also frustrating. depending on the lathe/mil, there are kits to convert them to cnc. or you can make your own system. did i mention frustrating? a really handy feature is to keep the handles so you can use it manually.one tool that is almost a necessity with a cheap machine tool is a SURFACE PLATE. because even cheap nasty XY tables can be made into something useful with a bit of scraping on the slideways.
