These fucks and their prop 65 bull shit. Everything causes cancer. But it's okay for my kids' clothes and bedding to be filed with flame retardant? Why? There's a higher risk of them spontaneously combusting rather than getting cancer?

I have seen 2 of those in the wild they were in mint shape. They were also in scrap yard. Turn out the 8.1l had a fuel economy of, how ever long is the fuel hose at the gas station? Those poor shleps that got suckered into those trucks.

Can you imagine. Putting together an entire assembly line. Logistics. Parts outsourcing. From the die stamp machine with tolerances of 0.0001" to make those shitty stainless steel bodies to how many rolls of toilet paper there should be in each stall, or the type of soap in the luch room. All those intricate details. To only sell 39,000 of those shitboxes.

Yes and it's fast, and quiet in comparison to many other sabotage.

Because if they get the money now. Good luck getting it back/ persuing any other action. If canada holds the money now and they are guilty. There is no money period.

If they eliminate the pink tax, here is what will happen. They will just raise the cost of men's personal care products by 43% and say they closed the gap on inequality.

I do equipment repairs for my bread and butter. And if they wanted to yes they most definitely will make equipment that is reliable as fuck and can be used and abused indefinitely. The worst part of it. All it takes is one ceo from deere, cat, komatsu, libberhr etc to say you know what, that construction guy pissed me off. It may sound petty but I have seen a local ceo buy out kenworth just because the sales guy was late and then fired him.

Eddison? They aren't making a truck but hybrid kits to re fit into existing platforms. Using cummins 4 cylinder diesels. Plus they got topsy to hit the market soon.

Yes I am dumb normie. Who has set up for doing things a certain way. I have my cnc plasma tables, my 3d printers and cnc mills. They are essential to my business. I need to be able to run the cad programs, communications and links. I have spent alot of hours already establishing this, learning how to do this. I don't have time to re learn all this because I "should switch to linux" I don't have time to learn new cad programs because the ones i use aren't Linux friendly. Many of us normies just don't have that spare time to go through the process. I just need something that I know will work.

I do heavy equipment/industrial/marine maintnace and fabrication work. The ability to overhead load things into the bed. Rather than being limited to what is on a pallet with a forklift. Being able have cargo that is longer than the bed of the truck and not have to drive with cab doors open. Being able to install a 5th wheel trailer to tow more than what the standard ball hitch allows. You shure aren't going to make a tow truck out of a van. Bulk cargo? Just show up to quarry or dirt pit load a bucket full or 2 and of you go. Lots of reasons. These are just the basic examples. There's lots more. From welding rigs to just being able to put a skid of drywall in with out hassle.

 

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
