90s UIs are fast. No fluff, mostly text.
He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik
McMaster-Carr ftw. If there’s something you need, they most likely carry it and will get it to you next-day.
At 200% mark up but it will be there the next day.
Yet still VASTLY cheaper than Grainger.
200% markup doesn’t matter when you’re billing it straight to the client anyway 🍻
If it’s too high someone else can out bid you. If we can get it locally we do cause some of the items will take the quote price to space.
No doubt. They’re definitely not the cheapest, but if you need something in a hurry they’re excellent.
Let’s say I’m willing to trade faster delivery for lower cost - is there another site with similar selection that you would recommend?
I ordered some common 1/4-20 bolts from McMaster recently because buying them from the local big-box is an even worse deal, but I did feel like I could get a better price somewhere else.In north jersey McMaster buys out all the hardware from smaller stores so they can mark them up. Its never an easy find an alternative.
Surprisingly enough, Amazon has a wide selection of bolts/hardware at good prices and reasonable delivery times 2-4 days normally.
Finding the correct bolt size, thread pitch, material, and trusting that when I order grade 8 bolts, I’m actually getting grade 8 makes Amazon quite a pain in the ass.
If it’s something I don’t care too much about, yea Amazon is fine. But when I want to trust my life to it or it’s going to take some serious stress I’m going to want McMaster.
I don’t think you need to worry about sizes (or pitch) everything I have gotten from them has been correct but material and strength (temper) are definitely something to be wary of. So yea if you need ansi strength out of a bolt don’t get it from Amazon, but if you are just using a 1/4"-20 to fasten something together you’re probably fine.
I wish we had something like McMaster Carr in the UK. I don’t even care if it’s fast! You guys had better appreciate how good you’ve got it.
RS, not the same breath but the pricing is usually good.
There’s also CPC/Farnell but none of those are in the same league as McMaster Carr. Much smaller ranges, worse prices, worse websites, missing CAD models, etc.
Another option is Misumi but they have even worse prices and don’t even sell to individuals.
I’d recommend going to McMaster Carr just to see what we are missing out on.
I love how the preview text for youtube videos is entirely fucking useless
Even better is that it depends on your instance , for me the preview text is some German text becuase the instance I’m using happens to be hosted in Germany
Yeah, Google likes to guess the language preference based on the IP address, which thankfully never goes wrong.
Ridiculously fast? It loads for each category 2 seconds.
The longest load for a page you haven’t encountered before is under a second, because it’s loading thousands of items. The longest paint is 176ms. It was averaging like 17ms. It’s incredibly fast.
Guess it’s not CDNed and far away?
