@C4CEO This is easily fixed by adding another timezone to the country. There is absolutely no good reason to change our clocks twice a year.

First big fail of Trump 47. Everybody says they don't want the time change. But if you live far east in a time zone, you want Daylight time. If you live far west in a zone, Standard makes sense. Sunrise after 9am is a bad idea. RFK needs to explain hormones & circadian rhythm.

@RepMaryMiller I like how this note is somehow refuting your claim? LOL

President Trump just CUT OFF illegal aliens from America’s financial system. No welfare. No benefits. No banking. No reason to stay. Expect MASS self-deportations to follow! whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@reddit_lies lol no. If your life is so fragile that you can’t obtain an ID without it financially ruining you, then you lack the wisdom to vote. It’s not a poll tax, it’s a de facto IQ test (a very, very modest one).

This is reasonable tbh.

Let it go, but build a better system. I used to own a landscaping business (sold it 4 years ago). Landscaper gets paid last. One of the best things I did was require a card on file (for residential). Auto-charge 24 hrs after each visit. Just back it up with great service. DM if you want to talk shop.

A customer won't pay - won't respond. Should I drive to knock on the door? I run a residential landscaping company. It's $357. Let it go?

@ParkDerekS @gak_pdx “Surfacing plate” LOL that’s a new one.

@gak_pdx That reminds me of one of the saddest 4chan posts I've seen

Wife was like- “You paid how much for a granite cutting board?” (8x8x2.5 Standridge Granite AA/Lab grade master square)

@theoldsargesays @GunloverClub1 Yes. Also if I set a gun down for just a few seconds I still clear it when I pick it up. Because the habit is important. Also who doesn’t like clearing a gun?

@GunloverClub1 Guy at the gun shop takes a gun out of the showcase or off a rack, clears it and hands it to me. I take the gun, keep it pointed in a safe direction and clear the weapon before I start checking it out. Yes, I just watched him do it. Yes, I do it again myself. Complacency kills.

The shop definitely messed up, but this is exactly why the first rule of gun safety is to always assume the weapon is loaded.

@mattdykema I’d flip the part over and bore from the other side if possible. Shorter bar -> less deflection -> easier time hitting your size.

This isn’t a simulator. It's not CAD or CAM Every .001” matters. Bad cuts or setup cost money on manual setups This Boring Head needs to finish the hole to +-.0005 or it's screwed

@zanehengsperger This is cool to see. Any plans to offer MIL-S grades? What’s delivery look like to Western NC? We use a fair bit of 6061 also.

every CNC part made in America has a hidden fee, your materials suppliers 131% markup on a $200 part, that's $58 of unnecessary margin for your metal guy i did a quick cost comparison of instant quoting 6061 in america right now against $100M - $5B companies i used 6061 4x10x12 qty 5 USA material, exact same across all vendors

@SMB_Dan My favorite is when a metric print gives +/+ or -/-, so your guy cuts it to nominal size thinking that’s *somewhere* in the tolerance and it’s already dead

It happened to me today: +/- .015, oh nice, piece of cake 👍 No wait, it’s metric 😳

@mattdykema I just assume they’re a drug dealer csoonline.com/article/565172…

Am I missing something here or why do I keep seeing people blur out their fingertips?

@BowTiedBroke I’d like to think the bear is just borrowing the chainsaw. Prolly has a pile of firewood to process.

Husqvarna sent me a stack of chainsaws to give away because a bear stole mine & Internet went wild. I’m adding a 4 day/3 nt stay to my Smoky Mtn cabin.

Grok posts the 20 here, the dart decides destiny 🎯 Sorry international followers (not that I have that many) U.S. followers only for this one. Cabin is in Tennessee, chainsaws are heavy, and bears don’t do passports. Let’s go! Drop a reply and let’s see who the Chainsaw stealing bear chooses.

@mattdykema Don’t forget surface roughness!

If you're looking to get into manufacturing memorize these gang symbols

@ChrisMartzWX @Nakedgoat2022 Dihydrogen monoxide is crazy dangerous. MAJOR component in acid rain and also industrial solvents. You can also find it in baby formula which is downright criminal! Just a little bit in your lungs is enough to kill you.

@Nakedgoat2022 I didn't say it's vapor. Vapor is invisible. It's condensed liquid water around soot. Water is a chemical. Beware of dihydrogen monoxide.

I am a meteorologist. I think I’d know a thing or two about the clouds you see in the sky. Thanks for your consideration, though.

@mattdykema It seems someone broke your fancy pry bar.

This is why I don't let anyone touch my shit

@StefanMolyneux Also cows turn grass (something we don’t have the physiology to digest) into beef, you don’t have to feed them grain. And we have a shit ton of grassland.

How many animal habitats are destroyed because wheat requires a lot more land?

@StefanMolyneux Borrow two from the 7 and add to the 8. So 50 plus 25 = 75.

27+50-2

@mattdykema I repair rock crushers. Large vertical CNC lathes and horizontal mills (I run a vert lathe with a 16’ table). Since it is repairs every job is a one-off. Anywhere from a few hours to a couple weeks on the machine depending on the part. I’ve had setups alone that take 2 shifts 😂

Larger parts require larger tools I'm sure the cycle time on this is days long run time

@GiaMMacool I’ve been exposed to both sides of this issue for years. I found Wes Huff’s video on this very interesting. His stuff is always well researched and based on historical evidence. youtu.be/5zcaQlBbk6s?si…

Christmas isn’t Jesus birthday. The holiday is pagan and Santa is really just another way to spell Satan

@mattdykema Single pass. Doubt that’s a finished part. Nicks probably get removed in a future operation.

This automation is pretty sweet. However the drop has me concerned like how is that not nicking the part when it drops?

@benkreis @GiffLasta @conservmillen Missing the forest through the trees. Scolding is not leading.

@GiffLasta @conservmillen My pushback is this: I think there is a biblical argument for saying a woman should not be a Girl-Boss-Christian-Influencer. She's the target only because she is a visible example of that. For me, it has little to do with what she says, good or bad.

Seems there's a disconnect between me and most of the manosphere on the response to @conservmillen. They want to validate young men's frustrations of being called "toxic" and lectured to for the last 30 years. I want to show them how to engage and lead well with women.
