I have been working for and by myself as a machinist for the last 15 years. The first round of steel tariffs hurt a lot, but I was able to pull through just barely. Now, I am losing every contract I’ve got when they expire (which is soon) and as a small fish I have almost no bargaining power on bids for jobs. I am likely going to have to shutter the business and sell all the equipment.

…and promoting fascism

That combination would be like, well… Seagal in the modern era.

OK. I am officially fucking old. I was 30 when that happened

The thumbnail looked like Steven Seagal at first.

That is usually related to tolerances, though. Like 0.1250 is interpreted much differently than 1/8".

I (machinist) have only seen a few large US firms or companies send me a metric print. Different worlds, I guess.

Make sure you use 100% infill for maximum foot destruction.

For us, it was Condor Man

Check the NAT!

Why this should matter: Trump has been an exceptionally shitty property manager for about 50 years

Why this doesn’t matter: Morons voted him in (twice) in hopes that he would run a nation state like one of his many failed businesses

My biggest problem with it is that the updates are always kinda late hitting AUR.

This is absolutely tanking my ability to eat and pay bills. Yipee!

I am fairly confident that theNSA is aware of this kind of concern and they have an pretty cool repo.

Sweetest as the shit demon.

lmao, now I have Fozzie saying “Hood day, sir!” in my head.

Danger zone. Easy way to get sick.

Not something I personally have a need for, but very interesting nonetheless and I am glad it exists.

Probably pickled okra. It’s actually crunchy if done correctly.

My career barely survived the last round of his steel tariffs. It won’t survive this.
