A high school with a production grade CNC mill and PEEK-capable printer.

2018-07-16 16:12:05 UTC  

?

2018-07-16 16:12:20 UTC  

my dad has a full metal, wood and automotive shop in school

2018-07-16 16:12:43 UTC  

they legit fix up muscle cars and got credits for it

2018-07-16 16:13:00 UTC  

Have you ever banged or tapped PEEK?

2018-07-16 16:13:21 UTC  

Shit is so absurdly stiff that it rings like metal.

2018-07-16 16:13:31 UTC  

yes lol the funny thing is they when cheap cheap on drill presses

2018-07-16 16:13:42 UTC  

i think the press's were out of the 1930's

2018-07-16 16:13:54 UTC  

Old drill presses are the shit.

2018-07-16 16:14:01 UTC  

yea hand press's

2018-07-16 16:14:15 UTC  

but whatever they never broke

2018-07-16 16:14:29 UTC  

maybe a spent drill bit or 9

2018-07-16 16:14:47 UTC  

lol kids and there learning a hand press and such

2018-07-16 16:15:10 UTC  

I wish more shit was made to last like that.

2018-07-16 16:15:27 UTC  

doubtful

2018-07-16 16:15:42 UTC  

everything is chinese crap made by 12 year olds

2018-07-16 16:15:55 UTC  

That isn't even the reason.

2018-07-16 16:16:05 UTC  

Engineered Obsolescence.

2018-07-16 16:16:39 UTC  

yeap

2018-07-16 16:16:50 UTC  

idk if its even that its they dont give a fuck

2018-07-16 16:16:54 UTC  

Actual, good engineering work is put into making a product fail not within, but shortly outside of its warranty.

2018-07-16 16:17:00 UTC  

you'll see in the next 20 year

2018-07-16 16:17:14 UTC  

many more deaths by machines breaking

2018-07-16 16:17:20 UTC  

Products are actually engineered to fail.

2018-07-16 16:17:32 UTC  

oh i'm awoke about that

2018-07-16 16:18:22 UTC  

That said, you can find shit made to last, it's just expensive.

2018-07-16 16:19:01 UTC  

well now aday most product eather cheap as hell or so expensive most regular ppl can't afford it

2018-07-16 16:19:28 UTC  

There were cheap as hell things made that lasted for ages too.

2018-07-16 16:19:38 UTC  

like every one would want a barrett 50 cal

2018-07-16 16:19:51 UTC  

but aint no body got money for one 😉

2018-07-16 16:20:50 UTC  

Soviet Engineering is a good example of this, they didn't have the excess and bounty of capitalism to waste on making shit fail.

2018-07-16 16:21:00 UTC  

kat makes some of the best tractors in the world but kubota out sales them

2018-07-16 16:21:34 UTC  

naw man i would say that soviet cars are trash as fuck

2018-07-16 16:21:43 UTC  

Is kubota cheaper?

2018-07-16 16:21:48 UTC  

ask any older eastern block person

2018-07-16 16:21:51 UTC  

Soviet cars SUCKED.

2018-07-16 16:21:53 UTC  

hell of alot

2018-07-16 16:22:14 UTC  

they got lucky with the AK and the subtech speaker/amp

2018-07-16 16:22:23 UTC  

right person right time

2018-07-16 16:22:25 UTC  

But Soviet engineering produced lots of things, from CNC mills to AKs that lasted.

2018-07-16 16:22:36 UTC  

It did this because it HAD to.
