The disrespect for iron in this comment is too damn high.

I mean a lathe doesn’t really have a y axis tho. Tool height is just tool height. Even on a vertical lathe you usually only have x and z.

If your business needed undocumented labor to crawl back into the black, maybe your business acumen isn’t as great as you think.

That’s why weaponizing ideas is such an insidious practice. Give a man a gun he carries around in his mind and you have a never sleeping army.

“If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law. If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules. If you come empty-handed, and I come empty-handed, we can talk about reason. But if you hold a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hand. If you have a gun and I have nothing, then what you hold in your hands isn’t just a weapon, it’s my life."

I thought this was that ex Amish guy in tiktok. Who am I kidding, it probably still is.
