@bannedforfun We are at the point where we just have to poinnt and laugh at them. Guilt and embarassment is probably the only thing that might break them out of this shit.

Some of these people are so propagandized that they're likely unsalvageable.
The premise that they'll suddenly learn better is wrong and you shouldn't try and help them. Let them fail until they've learned their lesson. There is no other option.

"Frugality" is boomer code for "I didn't expect my inability to understand massive problems would cause pushback and some mild insults."

@TornadoNate A cheap harbor freight set is not a bad starting point just to have something to chase threads with. Beyond that, buy from mcmaster as you need them. Spiral point, 2 flute, uncoated will be fine for most diy situations. Get some single flute countersinks too and a tap guide.

If you owned a drill factory that made #28 and 9/64” drills, would you sell the same exact tool with two different labels?

@DeltaClimbs This shows that they should have went into business building thermoformers.

Is this evidence of the viability of starting manufacturing businesses, or an indicator of the capital inefficiency and carelessness with which (most) American businesses spend money on suppliers? What will bring about a return to competition when endogenous shocks fail?

We did our first $1M in revenue on a homemade thermoformer built for under $10k

@bannedforfun This will backfire just as spectacularly as bodycams have for their cause.

What I am taking from this entire situation is that the next time a black guy says "Cracker" to, near, or even vaguely around me; I should beat his ass, shoot, and/or stab him.
Why?
"Speech has consequences"

Respect is given where respect is due This black kid respectfully engages with ChudTheBuilder & Chud shows mutual respect back Until another black guy walks up & says “you should know better than to say that word” and then proceeds to call Chud a nigger Rules for thee

@ofthebambino @VestigialAura @LawTubeSean @aburkhartlaw Ok cool, so everytime a black says some crazy racist shit to me I can consider it a violence and go all murder death kill on them?
English
@VestigialAura @LawTubeSean @aburkhartlaw I need you to explain that completely nonsensical question using actual examples.
Calling people the N-word and chimps is racist. Period. I'm sorry you feel the need to defend that with your whataboutism bullshit, but I'll give you a chance.

The Chud the Builder case is turning out to be a great way to sort the legal positivists from the legal realists.
Sure, it's legally debatable whether words are legally sufficient provocation to make someone the first aggressor.
But no guarantee the jury cares.

@Corsair_Cowboy I have seen some at upscale hipster/whiskey bars. Not many though.

@Tyler_Plummer I just quoted some drawer pulls. Most times designers just reach out to a local machine shop for custom builds.

There aren’t any high end Household Fixture companies in the US…
And only one high end Household appliance company which is Sub-Zero out of Wisconsin.
There should be a new company that does high end metal fixturing and also appliances 😉

Yesterday I saw somebody talking about how there would never be pullbacks again in the Nasdaq.
How'd that go?

BREAKING: The Nasdaq 100 extends losses to -2% on the day, now on track for its biggest daily decline since March 26th.

@muhasaba_needer I bootstrapped my shop, starting with a prototrak lathe. Everybody I knew with garage shops or larger started with a mill. They all had lathe work to offload to me.
English
Telling a guy he can bootstrap a Tormach into an AS9100 Tier 2 in a couple years if he just works hard is the male equivalent of women telling each other to get bob cuts. A real friend will tell you to get a Tornos Nano

I like that everyone tells homegamers to put a mill in their garage instead of a lathe. Keeps the competition poor
English
@_baldtires I literally just delivered a thompson rod job on monday. If you are reducing the diameter by 1/2" you should be safely below the case hardening. Anyone with a lathe should be able to thread that. We would usually drill and tap the ends and locktight 4140 threaded studs in.
English
Anyone know where I can get some linear shafting like this but with two big fucking male threads on the end? stepped down so it's like a 1 1/2" thread?

New plan for Miltech Manufacturing:
Tear out front office.
Park a 16x40 container office beside shop.
Add 5 more spindles.
Automate more metal!

@truckingczar I remember when this happened to my dad about 20 years ago. IL had him there like 8 hours taking tests.
English
Just renew my Illinois CDL, i had to retake every test from the basic driving skills to all of my endorsements. 9 tests.
Probably my punishment for Illinois issuing licenses to those who don’t qualify

@rjonesy274 @brianmccallum Yea I did strictly medical prototyping and jig/fixture for about 12 years. Everybody I know that did prototyping has transitioned to production.
English
@MetcalfMachine @brianmccallum Dude. For real. We do prototype work only and holy crap is it brutal.
English
There's so little money in manufacturing in the US, it's not worth the electricity to even turn the machines on.
Just look around.
Nearly every manufacturing account on here gets their money from the government.
Sell-outs don't count.

@muhasaba_needer you would have a brain aneurysm if you saw the fleet of machines the Case Tractor plant in Racine, Wi sent off to the scrap yard multiple cells of 550-600mm + 1000-1250mm pallet size Toyoda HMC’s with linear pallet pools dismantled and scrapped. Mori, Mazak, Okuma too
