It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Tolerances depend on the function of the part and are selected to balance various tradeoffs in production costs and assembly. A well engineered design does not require tight tolerances for the vast majority of features (reducing scrap, tooling, and labor costs), but some specific mechanism components like gears and driveshafts demand very tight tolerances for profile and runout in order to function reliably.
Tolerances will often influence which type of machine tool is used to produce a feature. A tight tolerances on an outside diameter might make the difference between a part being made on a lathe in one/two operations, or requiring additional operations on a cyllendrical grinder. Overzealous requirements for surface finish will require slower feedrates, sharper tools (which wear more quickly) and extend cycle times significantly, or require extensive manual hand-finishing.
