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

Don't get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static... Not a fun experience.

A mindset of quality.

CNC Machines that are built in Japan are so much Mount Betterest 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.

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.

Bored people can now tune into (source of entertainment) instead of learning.

I don't think the capacity for intelligence has dropped significantly, rather we as a society dedicate our time differently.

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.

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

Rolls up sleeves

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.

But first.... Halo theme song

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.

Ehhh....as a Linux beginner on Ubuntu I disagree... I spent a couple hours trying to get an AppImage application as a desktop icon.

Spent an additional hour or two to mount NAS drives. Fstab?? Wtf.

My secondary monitor flickers to black randomly for a just couple minutes after startup and there's no way I'm going to dig through Wayland to figure out why. Monitor orientation is incorrect on startup and I again don't want to dig through Wayland or whatever cfg file I need to open.....yet.

Still needed to browse at least 5 different sources for answers.

I'm glad Firefox doesn't crash at 500 tabs or w/e but Linux still has issues with some primitive tasks that windows has well figured out.

Not sure what else this meme is doing other than actively creating a bigger divide between the genders...

4 video cameras. I shall trade for all the above with the only source of amateur pornography.

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.

Trump believes Taiwan "stole" chip making technology from the states. And judging from most Republican's general stupidity on this matter... They think majority of the semiconductors are produced in China. Because to them Taiwan == China.

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.

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

but near impossible for AI generators.

...I feel like this isn't the first time I heard that statement before.

Don't sleep. Stay up all night. Drink shit ton of water and stay mobile as much as possible. Eat a 4th or 5th meal too.

Then go to sleep super early because of the exhaustion.

...sigh...
