Some have even argued that because America’s software and internet sectors have been so lucrative, talent has been diverted away from older industries.

Please just say the quiet part loudly. Wages in manufacturing are disproportionately lower than other jobs with much less skill required. Tool and die machinists in socal have wages close to McDonald's/Costco workers.

Sorry but how is grinding a punch form within .004mm, (dis) assembling stamping dies with incredible complexity for 10hrs a day without any procedural error premitted comparable with food assembly... One could put the lettuce before the pickles and no one would bat an eye. Put the wrong die in a station and production halts for hours costing hundreds of thousands of lost profits.

I believe the same can be said about construction as well.

Naturally, making physical goods rather than virtual ones mean less margins but of course the C-level executives must have their billion/multimillion salary bonus every year... Wonder what barrel they scrape all that extra money from...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If I had to take an educated guess, it is the absurdly immense pressure for academic and career success. Basically through one's entire childhood and early-adult life. A child's day would be something like public school from morning to afternoon and private tutoring after that until night time. Rince and repeat with an ever growing pressure for an acceptance into a highly rated university.

And on top of that, incredible wealth inequality.

So from childhood until death it all seems like constant pressure to become excellent. Seems like life would be hopeless if one struggles with the academics and fails to secure a career.

Maybe for the generic cat/dog image sharing boards but niche topics like machining are still thriving.

If Red Bull can be successfully sued for false advertising from their slogan "It gives you wings", I think it stands that Tesla should too.

A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.

Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.

Welp, time to run the chicken through the reverse osmosis system too.

Still, I’m trying g to figure out how he wasn’t missed for six days- one of which was a major is holiday.

I don't think it's too difficult... Working to live survive, no time/energy to develop a significant other, a lack of a 'family'. Honestly, from my perspective those traits all seem pretty prevalent. What with all of those 'male loneliness epidemic' being reported.

Will it take care of the nano-plastics for me or is that an upcoming firmware update?

You don't even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that...

OCZ had this 'toy' out in 2008.

one of the reviews...

Ultra-sensitive, excellent response time. Partial hands free gaming. Cool looking blue LED glow from interface box. This is the future of computer user interface. While designed primarily for FPS games, works exceptionally well with MMOs. Makes Crysis WARHEAD and FarCry 2 a joy to play. As a disabled person, this unit has allowed me to game with all the "normal" folks on the same level.

Kbin doesn't have a easy way to enter into your subscribed 'magazines'. The two options involve link hunting. see..https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/32492/Seeing-Subscribed-Magazines

That's all that it took to get me to migrate to Lemmy.

Yikes so they literally did onto others what others have done to them.

Key proposals from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases, a reduced 32-hour work week, a shift back to traditional pensions, the elimination of compensation tiers and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), among other items on the table including enhanced retiree benefits and enhanced vacation and family leave benefits.

I hope they get it all. 32 hour work day and return to traditional pensions would be huge.

Gig workers gimped themselves voting to remain as contractors in prop 22. And now there's that stupid 80%(?) majority rule to make amendments.

Valve seems okay with TF2 mods on the older engine... See https://tf2classic.com/

I feel like the TF2Classic ran into dmca issues earlier in their dev cycle as well.

Edit: yes they did https://twitter.com/tf2classic/status/1436328611485818880

I am so surprised everyone is kind of stuck in that 18-29 mindset of “I am just not ready to be a parent”

Is u blind?

I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet. Haven't seen another channel that presents medical cases in such a good pacing and storytelling while being able to eloquently explain complicated medical stuff such that everyone can understand.

Most, if not all, aerospace tools that take a measurement requires periodic calibration and assurance that the tool is performing to spec.

There can be thousands of unique tools that must pass through its own respective calibration process and documentation. Micrometers, calipers, torque wrenches, and even scales.

Having a networked tool can save the hassle of operators mis-reading or just plain ignoring the calibration sticker. Also, knowing the "location" of the tool on an inventory sheet isn't quite like knowing which side of a 747 for the wrench that is due for calibration.

Also this is just me hypothesizing... I presume there are a number of other benefits like automated logging of torque values for every single bolt installed with such tool. When the FAA audits for installation information regarding a single screw on a plane's 3rd row window side infotainment system's upper left mount... The data is easier to find.

This is all part of "industry 4.0" connected manufacturing for more efficient and lean manufacturing. Collect and process any data you could ever want to make the decisions for a manufacturer to do more with even less.

Is it surprising that a publicly traded company is going to drive down quality to meet (or in spirit areospace's case - attempt to make) profits?

The union also has clashed with Spirit over whether machinists should ever be responsible for checking their own work. Workers say having separate inspectors sign off on individual work is critical for quality control; Spirit and Boeing executives say that technological advances have reduced the need for separate inspectors in some cases.

Bad bad idea. Do not let machinists sign off on a inspection report. The incentive to hide mistakes is far too great.

The total tolerance is .0004". In equally disposed bilateral tolerancing it will be +-.0002".

I haven't watched one of these in years now.

Which runs/races are y'all looking forward to?

A mindset of quality.

CNC Machines that are built in Japan are so much more better than their 'Made in America' counterparts. Even under the same company name.

Visit any shop that requires quality around the world and you'll see Japanese made machines almost everywhere.

I wonder if that shares the same physics as silvent's compressed air guns.

Silvent’s air nozzles reduce the sound level when blowing with compressed air compared to blowing through open pipes. This is due in part to the reduction in noisy turbulence from using Silvent’s air nozzles, and also because of the nozzles’ special design. Silvent’s air nozzles pass the compressed air through small holes and slots, which raises the sound to frequencies beyond what the human ear can perceive. This allows us to make blowing with compressed air both quiet and efficient.

Could use an even quieter compressed air gun

Ohhh interesting, just grabbed it on F-droid. I'll be playing around with this for a while.

I lived in one of 'those homes' once... All 5 bedrooms and the garage which I stayed in was at least 1000 a month. And it was bare minimum amenities. One refrigerator shared with everyone, stove top was broken the entire time, one restroom and shower, and half of the folks had no idea how to clean dishes.

Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve's TF2 comp and they're trying to right their wrongs.

Any aerospace mechanics have any comments on this matter?

Clear sarcasm getting blasted.

Poe's law says otherwise. Plenty of goof-balls here that would make such a claim boldfaced.

I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me.

THAT'S A SYMPTOM OF ADD???? I did not know that! Honestly, I thought that was just normal or I needed special hearing aids even though annual hearing tests came out perfect.

might as well ban microwaves for emitting 'radiation'.

Got the source for that? The original story.

Engineers wants features held to less than 10 microns. Big parts on 'easy' materials.

Their idea of making parts is tossing it into any and all CNC machinery and automatically get good parts. That is rarely ever the case with tight tolerance parts.

OCZ back in the day (2008) had a brainwave game controller... didn't need surgery for that.

How to quit an 'essential' job without any advanced notice and move 300 miles.

Okay, putting away the snarky attitude.

Resume and interviewing skills in my specific career. Pleasantly surprised with the job offers I got during the pandemic.

Open new files in tabs doesn't seem to work in the windows version. Bummed out about that.

Hmmm... Kind of surprised there isn't an ARG to go along with this.

I wish the article gave better explanation to how hard it is rather than just stating that it's not brittle... Could revolutionize the cutting tools industry if it's harder than cubicBoronNitride (CBN).

Bought a switch just for this series. Well worth.

I wish I can play Xenoblade 2 for the first time again.
